| Description of the problem | 2005 nissan pathfinder s/n [xxx] . Engine coolant leaking into transmission due to failure of oil cooler causing transmission failure. I have read over 100 complaints on this same issue and nissan will not assist in the repairs. I was informed it would cost $5,149. 00 before taxes to get this vehicle repaired. Nissan knows this is a problem. The dealership i took it to shook his head and said he currently has one in the shop for the same reason, but they won't stand behind their product. To make matters even worse, they are replacing the faulty part with the same defective part. Isn't there any way we can get this pushed through so nissan would issue a recall on this and take responsibility for their mistakes? Please call me @ [xxx] . I woulod like to know what i can do to help the many people in my same situation. Thank you for your time. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
