| Description of the problem | The transmission has been compromised due to a faulty radiator. The radiator leaked coolant into the transmission contaminating the transmission fluid. I noticed the vehicle would occasionally shudder and when i had it checked out discovered the problem. Hard to believe nissan did practically nothing to notify owners of the problem because it sure was evident that the local nissan dealership was aware of the problem as well as a couple of transmission shops i've visited. |
