| Description of the problem | I brought my truck into the nissan dealer after transmission problems. Nissan acknowledged that there is a known defect with the 2005 frontier that causes cross contamination between the radiator and transmission. Despite only being 6k over the 80k free repair, i had to pay $2500 out of pocket for deductible. This seems unreasonable as it is a known defect affecting 2005-2009 frontiers and xterras. |
