| Description of the problem | My 2005 nissan frontier has cross contamination between the radiator and the transmission. Nissan new about this problem years ago. To fix the problem they extended the warranty out to 10 years. Now i need a new radiator and transmission. My cost 3000 dollars. I only had a month left before i was [xxx] out of luck. I have been driving for 35 years and have never had to replace a transmission that only had 67000 miles on it. Poor design and the consumer pays. They wanted to know if i was going to fix it. I told them i had 2 choices fix it or set it on fire. They gave me a strange look. I told them to repair it and i would but toyota next time.
