| Description of the problem | While driving my 2006 nissan frontier the truck would not respond to the accelerator being pressed and then began jerking. The check engine light came on and it has been doing this for a couple of days. I took it to my mechanic and he said is was the radiator leaking into the transmission and destroying the transmission which nissan knows about the defct but has chosen not to fix. If i was traveling at a high speed on the interstate and the truck did not respond to the accelerator and started to jerk a collision would have happened. The fact that nissan knew about this defect and chose not to inform me of the problem causes considerable alarm. |
