| Description of the problem | Nissan has admitted to faulty radiators in their 05-10 midsize vehicles. Mine being a frontier but also used in xterra, pathfinders and i believe titans. These radiators when they go, take the transmission with them. 4700 dollar bill later nissan says i'm 2 months beyond my 10 years and will not honor any help, even though i'm 10k under the 100k mile limit. So because i kept my miles low and have taken care of my pickup i am still at fault for their faulty equipment. My family will ***never*** own another nissan as long as we live. At anytime they could have said hey for $275 we won't recall these radiators but they are $275 to replace you should do it before it goes and takes the transmission too. [xxx] you nissan.... Poor business. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
