| Description of the problem | I purchased this truck from a used car auto dealer with 137,477 miles on it. Their warranty was up before i was aware i had a serious problem that got progressively worse. While driving locally and on the highway at speeds between 35 and 65 mph the truck started to shake and vibrate intermittently which caused an erratic control of the truck. After approaching several auto repair shops about the issue no one seamed to have a solution except one. They told me that a class action suit was issued against nissan about a defective transmission and radiator combination cooler cross contaminate problem that destroys the transmission lubricate and electrical shifting functions of the transmission. It cost me $3,728. 95 to fix the problem and i would like to get my money back from nissan if possible. All post about the class action suit puts me outside on the initial settlement. Thank you |
