| Description of the problem | About 1 yr ago fuel gauge stopped registering-was unaware of issues,never received notice of issues and past mileage for warranty. I have not been able to afford to fix it,so we are constantly worried about running out of gas. In august of this year,truck running rough,hesitating in low gear. Had our mechanic flush transmission,but started again and got intensely worse the past 2 months. Unable to afford to fix,we had to wait,but finally no choice but to take it in. Radiator leaking into transmission,seals cracked,etc. Going to cost 3100 to fix. Called nissan,but they basically told me i was out of luck as truck past mileage for standard and extended warranties (that they charge you for,knowing there is faulty transmission). |
