| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 nissan frontier that is having complete transmission failure due to the known issue of radiator fluid contaminating the lines to the transmission and causing internal failure. I have been quoted $5,000 in repairs for the radiator and transmission. There is a class action lawsuit against nissan for this very issue for several models. The dealership acknowledged the lawsuit, however, said a settlement or recall has not been issued at this point and they could not discuss it any further with me. They suggested i trade the car in and buy another from them, even suggesting another frontier. |
