| Description of the problem | Contacted a mechanic because my truck would shake at speeds at or above 50 mph. It was also starting to shift very hard. The mechanic checked it out and told me that there was a very common problem with the radiator failing and causing coolant and water to get into the transmission... Which isnt good at all for it. Radiator and transmission are shot and need to be replaced. He tells me that nissan has had this problem for some time now which was news to me. You would think nissan would let owners know about a problem so severe and common. Now i'm on the hook for $4000 thanks to nissan and it very unprofessionalism. |
