Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	$6219. 70 for a remanufactured transmission because i'm ~2000 miles out of their recently "extended" warranty. Transmission and radiator/cooling system were recommended to be replaced by nissan today because of contamination of transmission fluid by a (known but not recalled) defective transmission cooler line. At approximately 98,000k the truck began to experience vibration with overdrive engaged. It felt like driving over rumble strips also, the truck had no heat when idling. I took it to a qualified local mechanic and had the radiator flushed. That corrected the heat issue. It was recommended to take the truck to a transmission shop to look at the issue. I drive the truck daily to/from work and travel with my 3 daughters to and from school. My next opportunity was about 6 weeks later and i took it to nissan. There was a recent class action suit regarding this issue and "an extension was offered which would repair the issue for $3000. 00. This covered cars up to 100k. Because nissan did not diagnose this issue until i was at 102,200 miles, a low level call center denied the repair. Rather than drive the 10,000 miles per year that is apparently acceptable to nissan, i drive roughly 12,750. That extra 35 miles per day makes it so that i have to pay an additional $3219. 70 for something that i should be paying nothing for. The fix for the issue that destroyed my transmission is actually a roughly $500 repair or less than $100 for a diy'er. Nissan was aware of this issue and should have issued a recall before their "customers" transmissions started destroying themselves.
