| Description of the problem | Shuttering at about 40mph. Dealer said nothing was wrong. Later took it to the nissan dealer and the dealer flushed the transmission fluid. A week or so later, the transmission started jerking and not shifting correctly. I found transmission fluid and water were mixed. Nissan dealer said there was no recall on the radiator. I purchased a new radiator ,had it installed. The installer said that the transmission had water in the transmission fluid. I purchased new transmission fluid(for nissan) and had the transmission fluid replaced, then had it replaced again after 100 miles. To remove any residual water. Nissan still denies any problems with the radiator or transmission. The radiator problem renders the entire vehicle useless. Nhtsa - please remember that our government is by the people and for the people. You need to make nissan repair our defective vehicles. Its your job. |
