| Description of the problem | Transmission just out of no where starts jerking and over heating took to the dealership and they told me that coolant/transmission fluid cross contamination due to internal radiator/transmission fluid cooler failure to fix the problem it will cost 4700. 00 after doing some research have found that there is more nissan owners having this very issue please nissan you need to do a recall on these transmissions if not ill never buy a nissan ever again. I mean who has that kind of money to spend on a part that is internal and not able to be maintenanced how do we know its going bad? Oh yea it just stops working i have a family of 5 and we travel the interstate alot im glad i wasn't on the interstate at this particular time. Could have been very tragic if some one hit us because of a malfunction like this. |
