| Description of the problem | I have a 2007 nissan frontier with 68,000 miles. No major issues until now. Started having a transmission noise during acceleration. 10/2016, took my truck to my local auto mechanic and found transmission fluid low. No signs of leaks. Also check coolent and no problems seen. 11/5/16 i head a pop and saw fluid running out of coolent overflow. Transmission stated slipping. 11/9/16 took truck to my local auto repair shop and they see the coolent is mixed with oil. On 11/15/16 per my local nissan dealer i have a crack in my trans coolent system which is mixing transmission and coolent fluid. In result damaged my transmission and requires replacement. He had ask me to call nissan for addition assistance. I was also told by my local nissan dealer that this problem could have been resolved by a radiator replacement. On 11/9/2016 i contacted nissanusa and i was hung up on twice. I finally got in touch with a decent person the set me up with a case. I asked for a description of the details of the warranty and they said it would be emailed. 11/15/2016, i'm still waiting for that email. I called again after getting one rude person and was put on hold then disconnected. I called back asking for financial assistance. I should be getting a call tomorrow. Also, i was told about the issue a year or two ago by another nissan owner. When i contacted my local dealer to acquire about the problem and aware to they knew nothing about it. Also, they did not have info of any preventive measures the could prevent this problem. If this was a know issue the we should have been notified by nissan. |
