| Description of the problem | I got a check engine light on my nissan frontier and brought it to the nissan dealership to have checked and was told i would need to replace the entire transmission and radiator because engine coolant has leaked into the transmission and is destroying the transmission a quick search it seems there are hundreds if not more of people with this same issue of nissan having a poor design and putting many people at risk by having their transmissions seize up at any given time while driving. Having coolant leak into the transmission is not a normal wear and tear issue and is gross negligence on behalf of nissan to ignore this problem. |
