| Description of the problem | Bought a 2006 frontier a year ago, i was unaware of the major defect they were having with the radiator cracking and mixing coolant with tranny fluid. Now my transmission is shot with no warning and i'll be out 4/5k !! It went out as i was trying to turn left and on coming traffic was coming at me. I could not accelerate as obviously without a transmission your car wont go into gear, just a sitting duck with oncoming traffic baring down. Thankfully the people speeding towards me seen me before i was smashed into and possibly killed. |
