| Description of the problem | After buying the truck from a dealership, i was driving home. I got about 5 miles from the dealership when the vehicle started shaking. I took it to a nissan dealership to who confirmed what i was afraid of. There was coolant in the transmission fluid. We submitted it to the warranty company that i had purchased a warranty from when i bought the truck only to find out that since the transmission failure was due to an uncovered part(oil cooler) they would not honor the warranty. After doing more research on the problem and seeing as many claims of this issue how has nissan not recalled the transmission? It is obvious that this normally does not normally happen until after the extended warranty ends. Like everyone else i am looking at a $6000+ repair bill, and until i can come up with that money i have to look outside at my $12,000 lawn ornament... |
