| Description of the problem | I recently purchased a 2007 nissan frontier and have only had it since feb 2014 and all of a sudden there is a strong vibration at 40 mph in the rear end. So i had the tires balanced then re balanced thinking it was the tires. Even went as far as replacing the rear tires. After that did not correct the issue i then took it to a nissan dealership and they determined that it was a failure in the radiator that leaked coolant into the transmission. They told me that my radiator and transmission need to be replaced. If i have it done before my truck reaches 100k it will only cost me 3000 to get it fixed and nissan will pick up some of the cost. But if i go over 100k i will be responsible for the full repair cost. My current mileage is 98910. I had purchased an extended warranty through the place i had purchased the truck and because they don't cover the radiator i am now liable for the repairs. So now i am at a loss, just started paying on the vehicle and now i have to spend 3000 at min to get it fixed. I should not be putting this kind of money into this truck after owning it for less than 6 months. |
