Did research online and found that the issue is coolant leaking into the transmission fluid. This has been a major issue with all 2005 nissan frontiers. My truck has 103,xxx miles. Outside the warranty now. Never new of this warranty and now i'm stuck paying thousands of dollars out of pocket for new transmission and radiator. |
