You keep living in that fantasy world.
OP: Was this a USED car or a NEW car? Sounds like a used car to me. If it is a used car I personally don't think you have much of a case, especially with things like the window motor out of warranty. As for the transmission lockup, you didn't get hurt and it's not a widespread, well known problem (in fact I've never heard of it happening before), so good luck with that one too. I personally think you're wasting your time if you seek legal counsel. You need to have evidence of a re-occuring problem (more than 3 times) that Nissan couldn't fix.

Your better off suing a homeless man because he put streaks in your windows while cleaning them at a stoplight!
Seriously, you will spend $ on lawyer fees and not get **** other than fattening the useless lawyers pocketbook!
GL though!

Well, sorry to rain on your parade. but what are you going to sue for?
1) You were not injured, so there will be no award for medical payments, loss of income, pain and suffering, etc.
2) You apparently haven't asked them to correct the faulty condition, so they can't be expected to correct a problem they are not aware of.

I may be sounding stupid here, but did you try taking it to another dealer? Or calling Nissan corporate?
There are many routes you can go through before dumping tons of cash to a lawyer taking something to court.
I don't have your whole story, but it doesn't seem like you've been very thorough.

I will add, it sounds like you were locked out of going into 5th, which probably means they didn't adjust the shift plate properly when they replaced your transmission. That should have been revealed in a test drive, but I don't think even Johnny Cochran could prove criminal negligence. Good luck.

chimmike, good points.
Sure, you can sue for almost anything. That's because we have a bunch of money hungry lawyers running the whole system. We all pay for that crap in the end by higher insurance costs etc.
You can do something. Vote with your brain. It's the only way we have to fix things.
Oh, and take responsiblity for your own stupid actions and don't try to make others clean up your own messes. "your" isn't intented to be addressing anyone specific here. It's a generalization.
If your car has a warranty, you have some hope to getting something sorted out. If not, good luck unless it's a safety related issue. Oh, if all of the problems have been because of one dealer, check with your local Better Business org. www.bbb.org and follow the links. That'll tell you what that dealers history has been and you can get a good idea if you'll get any satasifaction.
