 Description of the problemWhile driving on a paved state highway at aprx 50mph, the vehicle slowed down and rpm's went up. Much like the transmission had downshifted. This is an automatic trans. Couldn't manually get it back to normal by downshifting or putting it into neutral. Service engine soon light was now lit. Pulled over, stopped and turned off engine. Under the hood there was no obvious sign of leaking, broken belts or smoke. Restarted the truck and drove home aprx 10 miles with no problem, but service engine soon light still on. Drove it the next day to autozone (5miles total) and showed codes p1774 and p0717. Researching the codes led me to all the transmission replacement problems due to a failure of the trans fluid cooler inside the radiator which mixes that oil with coolant and destroys components inside the transmission and requires replacement. Now i have to figure what to do facing a $6000 repair bill on a $10000 vehicle. This had me losing speed in a traffic situation that could have been dangerous and stranding us as an elderly couple with a disabled person in the arizona desert. Money aside, it's pretty sad to find out that the nhtsa and nissan have known about this problem for years and neither has taken any proactive steps to inform or warn the owners. Just a lot of collecting info and waiting for the vehicles to be carted off as junk and the problem swept under the rug. Thanks a lot for stalling for years and doing nothing. Safety doesn't just pertain to how many people died! Not exactly the right thing to do!
