| Description of the problem | In february, 2017, the radiator on my nissan frontier failed. Due to a design flaw, coolant got into the transmission which ruined it. The radiator had to be replaced and the transmission rebuilt at considerable expense (approximately $6k). The radiator failure occurred on the road and i was able to limp to a service station. Fortunately, the transmission failure did not occur on the road but could have causing a very dangerous situation. |
