Gear gets stuck too often to move. Cheap parts and is risky like on a parking stop trying to stop and your gear wont budge. My 2013 altima transmission has always been vibrating too heavily, between 1500-2500 rpm in cold and exteremely hot weather situations, ever since i bought this vehicle (since feb, 2014). Now the transmission completely failed and they are asking 4k to replace it.
