Lemon Law Won! Nissan GT-R 2010 Acceleration and Transmission Problems

I get a full refund plus any interest paid.

BBB took care of the arbitration and made the process extremely painless. Nissan not so much, but I don't want to go to into detail without legal advice. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to share the audio, but I would love for you guys to hear what transpired.
I'll also check to see if I can publish the arbitrators findings.

If you watch this video @1:35 I came up to a four way stop and started to go but the throttle was dead so I continued to give it throttle until I reached 100% as you can see on the gauge in the center of the dash (top left). The GTR shifts into 1st and revs up to 1500 RPM @1:37 and then drops down to around 850 RPM before it starts to take off. This isn't the worst case, I've had it happen where there was a 3 second delay from a stop and I'll eventually get that on video as well as it sticking in 1st gear and the clutch slipping while going into overhot mode.

If this happens at an inopportune time, I could get t-boned and in at least one case so far it almost caused an accident at a 4-way stop. I came to a full stop. Another car across from me stopped at the intersection immediately after me. I gave my GTR throttle and it did not move. After about three seconds my car took off and the other car got impatient and started her left turn in front of me. I was at full throttle trying to get the car to go and had to brake to avoid hitting her.

My wife drove it one time since the transmission has been replaced and it locked in 1st gear and wouldn't accelerate after coming to a stop so she will no longer drive it and she won't allow my kids to drive with me in the GTR anymore. The primary reason I chose the GTR was that it had 4 seats so I could take my family but she doesn't feel it's safe.

Yes, I'm getting over a cold so I apologize for the hacking and coughing.

did't you test drive it b4 you got it?

[hammerton510]

@cbrRida310 Yes, but I didn't have transmission problems until after the first failure at 480 miles.

enjoying your jap quality? look at the bright side, you coulda bought a toyota and crashed and burned too death

[hammerton510]

@meattube4u33 Yeah, the Toyota won't stop and my GT-R won't go. Kind of ironic.

Maybe its time to dump the car, sounds like its been causing you a lot of trouble!

[hammerton510]

I've been considering it but it cost over $86,000. I tried to trade it in when the transmission failed 3 weeks later and 400 miles they offered me $58,000. They told me the market for the GTR was 'soft'. I ask if it was because of the transmission fiasco and they had no comment.

Hammerton is there something wrong with the seat man? I feel like punching you just by looking at the video, I could not imagine what it would like to ride next to you with all your nervous ticks... Calm down man..

[Serialkilla7]

that's such a shame, that's a fantastic car I hope to own one someday, hopefully fully functioning.

Instead of going through the headache of trying to get anything done in court maybe consider talking to a local tv station and letting it run all over the news.
