| Description of the problem | The well known issue of radiator fluid leaking into the transmission which destroys the transmission rendering it useless. Many complaints about the same issue with these vehicles. My truck is dead and this issue has been well documented, a class action suit was filed, nissan should be liable to repair these faulty transmissions. My problem began at low miles, i've spent $2000 at nissan to replace the faulty radiator and flush the transmission 2x to try and save it. This is a well known issue that needs to be addressed. |
