| Description of the problem | Over the course of approx 2 weeks the vehicle experienced transmission slippage and engine overheating. Then the transmission ceased to function. The vehicle had to be towed to a transmission shop. The transmission failed due to radiator coolant leakage into the transmission. The vehicle needed a completely rebuilt automatic transmission, and radiator. Total repair fees were $3495. 00 including towing. Was told by transmission shop that this was a very common problem for nissan radiators. Called nissan local dealership, they quoted a price of over $5500. 00 just for the transmission. Radiator and towing would be extra. I was informed that nissan refused to offer warranty or other compensation. |
