| Description of the problem | Truck would not start. Towed to auto garage. Told radiator has a defective coolest line that runs thru transmission. This caused cross contamination of radiator fluid and transmission fluid, causing breakdown of transmission and radiator. Found out online that this happens with three types of nissan vehicles made between 2005 and 2010. Nissan will only cover if under 100,000 miles but i have to pay first 3000 on a fix averaging 3800 to 4000. I was never notified of any problems by nissan. They knew their was a problem and i believe that are stalling and covering this problem. They should be 100% responsible for this liability. Car company's paid for all types of recall for their design flaws, what is the difference here other than the amount needed to do what is right. |
