| Description of the problem | I was driving my truck on a two lane road at approximately 40 mph when the truck started to shake and shutter and would not shift properly. I was almost rear ended on a bend in the road because of the reduced speed i had to drive to keep the truck from shaking. I have researched my nissan frontier's transmission issue and it appears to be a cross contamination issue where the transmission cooler leaks allowing transmission fluid and radiator coolant to mix causing damage to the transmission. I have not driven the truck since the incident for fear of a total transmission failure which has happend to other nissan frontier owners causing them to be standed on the roadway. Nissan seems to not want to recall the trucks for the cross contamination issue which i feel puts peoples lives in danger. |
