| Description of the problem | My 2007 nissan frontier heater would not warm up when idling. I took it to the dealership in december 2014 and they flushed the lines. Six months later the transmission began to slip. I took it back to the dealer and they informed me that due to a manufacturer's defect engine coolant leaked into the transmission and destroyed it! I would need a new transmission and radiator. Because the vehicle was now 8 years old, the warranty will only cover part of the cost and i am responsible for $2,500. After researching this problem, i found that one of the warning signs was a heater that would not warm up while idling. The vehicle could have been fixed in december of 2014 and covered fully by warranty, however, the dealer did not warn me! Now, nissan says there is nothing they can do! I'm frustrated to say the least and have purchased my last nissan! |
