| Description of the problem | Stopped on hill behind another vehicle, they took off, i tried to pull up to stop sign but had no forward movement. Luckily no one was behind me so i backed down to a driveway to get out of the road. I had reverse at this time. After trying to figure out what happened, i put truck into gear and drove the five miles to work. Service engine soon light came on. Left work and had no problems until my driveway, steep incline and again no forward movement. No reverse this time. Had it towed to transmission shop and they have diagnosed that the radiator fluid was leaking into the transmission. Surprise! I did not receive a letter from nissan last year. They should recall and pay for all the charges. They know there is a problem and don't want to own up to their failure to provide a safe vehicle. Hope the nhtsa looks into the problems with the nissan vehicles. I was happy i wasn't on an inter-state. No indication of a problem until i had no forward movement! Very dangerous for everyone on the road! |
