| Description of the problem | Recently my 2006 nissan frontier transmission started to make a grinding noise at speeds when shifting to a lower gear. I checked the computer about possible problems; that is when i found out about the transmission lines failing inside of the radiator. The water was leaking into my transmission. Nissan and the dealership that i was getting my truck serviced knew of the problem for many years. When i asked the service adviser about the problem, he told me my frontier had 7,000 over 100,000 miles and that was the cutoff for nissan to help. What made me mad was that i had my 90,000 mile service done at the dealership on 01/28/2014 , paid $523. 38 and nothing was told to me so i could take action to save my transmission!!! I should had been told of the defective transmission lines before it ruined my trans. Now i am out $3,228. 78 for a rebuilt transmission. They knew i had the frontier, why didn't they tell me of the defective transmission lines... I don't understand... |
