| Description of the problem | Transmission failure due to a leaky radiator. The transmission just failed pulling out of a busy intersection. I did not receive a letter of warranty extension until after i was over 80,000 miles. Nissan is willing to give me $1000 credit towards a new transmission and radiator if i have the work done at a nissan dealer for $6000. I only have 87,000 miles on this almost $30k death trap. This is my second complaint to the nhtsa. The first was on the fuel sending unit, which i fought tooth and nail to have nissan replace. My truck was 2 month out of the manufacturing date issued in the recall. Nissan did eventually did add my truck to the recall list about 2 month later. What a shame. |
