| Description of the problem | Around 95000 miles the transmission began very abrupt jerking when accelerating. Around may 2011 transmission began slipping, i googled the problem and discovered many people had the same problem due to radiator cracked. I looked into my radiator and discovered strawberry looking fluid . Replaced my radiator , an flushed it a few times and then flushed my transmission which had the same color fluids, i believe nissan was aware of these faulty radiators and transmission and drag it out through court so people would loose their opportunity to use their warranty. I am currently trying to get nissan to replace my faulty transmission and i am willing to pay a $3000. 00 fee but so far they are reluctant. Any suggestions you may have would be appreciated. |
