| Description of the problem | 2006 nissan frontier transmission failing due to engine coolant and transmission fluid mixing. Truck started jerking at times just cruising usually between 40 and 50 mph then worse. Coolant reservoir and radiator was noticed in components. Took it to dealership and gave me a price of 5300 to replace radiator and transmission and flush all systems. I had been reading reviews on these models and was hoping this wasn't the issue on mine. As soon as i noticed the fluid contamination i was sick. Had no idea of this problem. Alot of reviews say steer clear of these vehicles. This frontier is my 3rd owned nissan vehicle. Never again!!!!!!!! |
