2011 Nissan Maxima

TRANSMISSION: THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON INDICATOR WAS ON SO I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE. WHEN I RECEIVED THE DIAGNOSIS I WAS TOLD THAT MY TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MY CAR IS JUST 3YRS OLD AND HAS 98K MILES. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AS THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 75K MILES. THE TOTAL COST OF THE RE-MANUFACTURED 3.5 TRANSMISSION WOULD BE $3589. 2003-2010 MODELS HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE 3.0 TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUE. THE 2011 AND NEWER MODELS AREN'T COVERED CITING THAT IT'S NOT THE SAME TRANSMISSION (3.0 VS 3.5) THOUGH THE ISSUE WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS THE SAME. FOLLOWING ARE THE DIAGNOSIS CODES I RECEIVED: P0744, P0868 AND B2190. RECOMMEND CVT ASSEMBLY. *JS
