| Description of the problem | Radiator failure at 45,000 mile check (oct. 3, 2006) mechanic report: leaking and needs to be replaced. Vehicle: 2004 nissan altima 2. 5l, vehicle purchased: october, 2003 as of today (oct. 4, 2006) the radiator has not been replaced. Under normal operating conditions, with no accidents, the radiator should not fail at such a low mileage. I have reason to believe a similar failure is occurring on my wife's car (40,000 miles), purchased the same month. Nissan needs to do a recall, and pay for this replacement. *nm |
