| Description of the problem | I own a 2005 nissan frontier. At about 84365 miles, the transmission started slipping badly. The mechanic said that my transmission cooler had ruptured inside the radiator and coolant had gotten inside the transmission. My transmission was basically destroyed and it cost over $5000. 00 to fix it. After reading other articles about nissan owners with similar experiences, i think this is outrageous and nissan should be held accountable for these failures. |
