| Description of the problem | Verified at local dealership that radiator coolant is mixing with transmission fluid which causes rough shifting and car to shake at certain speeds. This is a serious safety issue as car can suddenly lose power/break down while driving. Radiator and transmission need to be replaced. We received nissan's extended warranty (8 yr/80,000 miles) on radiator last year. Car is only 800 miles out of warranty, however nissan will not cover the cost of replacing the radiator and transmission. Nissan needs stand by its product and issue a recall for this problem. *js |
