| Description of the problem | I noticed my radiator reservoir was getting low, so i filled again, a week passed and the same thing, i told my brother in law who have some mechanical knowledge and we both check the reservoir unit, and then the radiator cap, and for my sad surprise, there were a oily brown residue, which means that my truck had mixed transmission fluid and anti-coolant, wow what a downside !!! Now the cost to repair it is around $3000+ dollars and of course i changed the radiator already, due to the fact of that part being defective, and of course after that happened i received a letter from nissan extending the warranty of the radiator, only if i had less than 80k miles on my truck, so guess what? I am not covered but that warranty !!!! Because i have more than 130k anyways, 2 weeks ago i received a class action settlement against nissan !!!!! Yeah !!! |
