| Description of the problem | I was driving on the highway when i feel some vibration, did not pay attention until i got off the highway when the transmission slipped, i thought that fluid may be low, but when i checked i found that fluid was discolored. I took it to the mechanic and he told me that this was a problem with the radiator leaking in transmission, and that he had some other nissan trucks same year with same problem. He suggested to replaced radiator and flush transmission, it cost me $600. 00, but now my transmission is getting worse everyday and worse of all is that i am still paying for this truck that probably is going to break down any moment. I read some of the complaints about this particular vehicle and scared me just to know that i will have to pay for a transmission repair plus continue to pay for the loan of this truck. And nissan seems like is doing nothing about this problem. Please send me any notification about a recall, i would really appreciate it. |
