| Description of the problem | Transmission failed completely while my daughter was driving leaving her stranded in a busy intersection. Vehicle was towed. Transmission was found to have radiator fluid in it as well as transmission fluid in the cooling system. After investigating this issue on the internet it is obvious that nissan has been aware of the issue with faulty radiators for a long time. (when i was still under my extended warranty.) had nissan informed owners this could have resolved with a radiator change that i would have gladly done at my expense. Now i'm looking at over $4000. 00 in repair costs. Shame on nissan! |
