| Description of the problem | I started off at an intersection in heavy traffic where i live in atlanta, ga. My truck would not move. The engine revved when given gas but would not go forward. I was in panic mode because of the traffic and i had my family in the car. I was told by a nissan rep that radiator fluid is leaking into my transmission fluid and causing it to fail. He said eventually it will fail for good. These vehicles need to be recalled by nissan!!!!!!! This is a known issue and is very dangerous!! This must be addressed before someone loses a life at the hands of a faulty transmission!. Also this is a very expensive repair for me. Please do something!! |
