| Description of the problem | Transmission failure, radiator failure. Had it fixed months ago and my car continues to spew blueberry yogurt from cooling system. Nissan did nothing, dealer did nothing and now mechanic is making me jump through hoops. This is a serious and dangerous issue, occurring countrywide in thousands of vehicles. Nissan obviously does not want the bad publicity by owning up to the faulty parts... Why do you think they changed the parts in 08' models and up? Luckily my tranny blowing on the interstate did not cause injury, but it very well could have.... Is it going to take someone dying for someone to finally do something!!?? There is currently a class action lawsuit against nissan for this issue (since 2010!) do something!! Innocent, hard working people are being put in danger by these vehicles. |
