| Description of the problem | My transmission failed due to radiator coolant mixing with my transmission fluid. Nissan knew about the factory defect but failed to notify the consumers or replace the transmissions. Nissan was involved in a class action lawsuit and increased the transmission warranty to 10 years or 100k miles. But they required the customer to provide a co-pay of $3000. 00 (which is ridiculous). However i noticed symptoms of my truck shuttering and thumping into gear around 95,000 miles, my vehicle had appx110,000 miles on it when the nissan dealership officially diagnosed the problem. Furthermore, mileage should not matter because this is a "factory defect". I bought my nissan frontier new in 2007 and it was only a matter of time before the transmission failed due to the "factory defect". Please inform me if there is any recourse/recall for this situation. Thank you. |
