| Description of the problem | The coolant is mixing with the transmission fluid. It's a known and widespread defect yet nissan ignores it. We paid $14,000 for the truck less than a year ago, but nissan has squeezed us out of any rebate because the truck is over 100,000 miles. Now we have to pay another $7,000 to fix it. That's wrong. They should fix it no matter how old. |
