| Description of the problem | I was at a stop light and when it turned green my truck felt like it was stuck in neutral and wouldn't get into gear. With hesitation, it finally jumped into gear but was very sluggish with hardly any power. It was quite dangerous with a line of vehicles behind me i thought i was going to get rear-ended. Thankfully i was only 2 minutes from my office where i was able to pull in the parking lot and unload my two children and call my wife to pick us up. I had to have my car sit there over the weekend because i didn't feel safe driving it. On the following monday i had it towed to a transmission repair shop where they diagnosed it as a cracked radiator head with coolant leaking into the transmission causing this failure. I then had it towed again to the nissan dealership where they diagnosed it and confirmed the first diagnosis. They said unfortunately i was over the mileage and to call the national nissan dealership and petition for assistance. After looking up all the information i find it discerning that nissan hasn't done the right thing and recalled this to make it right. |
