| Description of the problem | Nhtsa action number 12004. This week my 2007 nissan frontier's transmission failed at roughly 62,000 miles. I had the vehicle towed to my nearest nissan dealer where they informed me that it failed due to a leak in the cooling system causing coolant to leak into the transmission causing the failure. They also informed me that this has been such a problem that nissan "extended the warranty" to help fix the problem. The only issue is that the deductible for the "warranty" is $3,000! That does not seem like much of a warranty to me. I feel like nissan has admitted the problem and is trying to avoid a recall by issuing the extended warranty with a deductible that is most likely covering a majority of the cost of the job if not entirely. Since this investigation is still open i thought it only appropriate to contribute. |
