| Description of the problem | Radiator leaking fluid into transmission causing transmission to work improperly and causing vehicle to jerk and become unsafe. Took to dealer in august 2010 and dealer said there was no problem. I do have service record stating this. Took back to dealer as problem persisted and now dealer says i need a new transmission that, of course is no longer covered by any warranty. Nissan was aware of this problem and issued a service bulletin to replace radiators, but did not notify owners. Also, dealer and company will not give me answer to problem even though i have asked repeatedly. Please help. |
