| Description of the problem | I had been noticing my automatic truck shutter before thumping into gear months before i actually took the truck into the nissan dealers shop for analysis. When they inspected, i was told my transmission had been damage due to contamination by engine coolant and i would need a new transmission. The source of the contamination is a cracked atf line that runs through an engine coolant chamber in the radiator. This defective part and design came directly from the nissan factory. Nissan knew about the defect and failed to notify the consumer or replace the failed transmissions @ no cost. Please advise of any recalls and results from the investigation. |
