| Description of the problem | The seal between the engine coolant and transmission fluid portions of the radiator fails, contaminating the transmission fluid with coolant water. Causing my engine to slip when changing 1st and 2nd gear. I just found out about this problem when i received a letter that there was a class action lawsuit about this problem. Nissan knew about this problem and fail to notify owner of the this problem in a timely matter. If i had known this problem then i would have replace the radiator instead of having to replace my whole transmission causing me thousands of dollars. |
