| Description of the problem | Took my frontier to the local nissan dealer for transmission flush. I was told by the service manager that this service could not be completed due radiator coolant leaking into my transmission. Through research, i have found many owners of frontiers have reported the same transmission issue and have share this issue with nissan. There were no warning signs and no support to owners like myself with trucks over a 100,000 miles. It appears nissan has been aware of this transmission/radiator issue with this vehicle and their suvs for some time. This defect is a major safety concern and very costly for owners to correct. Thank you for your time and support. |
