| Description of the problem | Found out today that my 2005 nissan frontier is affected by defective radiator that is causing coolant to mix in with the transmission fluid thus fatally damaging transmission. Understand that this a wide spread problem for this year and model nissan. Radiator has to be replaced at a cost of $1400. 00 that nissan won't pay for because mileage is over 100,000 miles. I don't know yet if transmission is damaged. This is a defect that nissan knows about and they should replace at no charge no matter what the mileage is. This is their problem, but unfortunately now its mine. Please help and issue a recall. Thank you. |
