| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 nissan frontier se 4x4 crew cab with 143396 miles and going about 40-45 miles per hrs i hear a chatter in the rear of the truck. Made an appointment with a nissan dealer in my area and the out come was .. The truck needs a transmission and radiator replacement and it is out of warranty the replacement at the dealer would be a cost to me of 5132. 13 . Nissan had a class action suite in new york and the only win for us consumers was that they extended the mileage to 100,000 . I called nissan and was informed that if i had 120,000 miles on the truck that there would be a cover under the warranty. Nissan knows that there is a issue with tranny and radiator but they did no recalls so now we are stuck. If you are on a fixed income who has over 5000. 00 dollars laying a round for this kind of repair . I can still drive the truck but its not safe if the tranny shuts down on the hwy then what ? Looks like a accident waiting to happen. Cant have that . So the truck will sit in my yard till i get some answers that will help me get this issue solved. |
