| Description of the problem | My transmission on my 2005 nissan frontier completely failed and left me stranded on the interstate highway. After towing it and a little research i found out that this was a problem that nissan was well aware of and neglected to notify me or do anything about. The transmission cooler had cracked leaking engine coolant into the transmission. I learned that they extended the warranty to 90,000 miles with a $3000 dollar deductible which is laughable, considering that this was a problem that is going to cost about that to fix on my own. Nissan states on their website that they extended the warranty for customer satisfaction, in reality they got sued and that was the settlement. Nissan should have recalled these trucks years ago like a morally responsible company would have and i would not have to be running up credit card debt to fix it now. |
