| Description of the problem | Due to design flaw resulting in mixing of transmission fluid and radiator fluid, transmission was destroyed and had to be replaced. Vehicle was in motion on a city street at approximately 45 mph whenever failure occurred. I have since been made aware that this is a common issue with many nissan vehicles with similar systems. Documentation of transmission replacement is not currently in my possession, however if necessary, all documentation can be obtained from transmission repair facility. |
