| Description of the problem | Drove a very short distance near my work and heard a bubbling sound in the engine compartment, knew immediately something was wrong with the radiator. A few seconds later it was like a small explosion and i was able to park. The goo coming from underneath was unlike anything i had seen before. I had usaa tow it off, dealership said crack in the radiator caused fluids to mix and corrupt the transmission and found out 15 days later that nothing would be covered. Didn't know about the massive, wide-spread problems with this exact scenario. Dealer didn't know, insurance and adjuster never said anything. Wasn't until a small town mechanic told my mother-in-law, that we heard about these issues from other nissan owners. I am hesitant to have factor parts put back in it if, according to others, the same problem could re-occur. |
