| Description of the problem | While traveling in rush hour traffic my 2005 nissan frontier started to loss power and i was almost hit by 3 other vehicles when the truck stopped moving in the traffic. I had it towed to reliable mechanic and was notified by him that there was radiator fluid in the transmission and that this has become a growing issues with nissan between 2005-2010 model pathfinders, xterras,and frontiers. This is the third nissan frontier i have owned and i sing the praises of nissan to everyone i know, i am shocked to see how many complaints have been filed and still nissan acts irresponsible and refuses to recall this issue it is a $3800 repair and nissan knows it is rampant in these models. I am very disappointed in nissan this is no way to treat their loyal following makes more sense putting the $3800 towards a new toyota pickup. |
