| Description of the problem | Just found out that i have the coolant mixed with the transmission fluid causing transmission failure.... Called nissan consumer affairs and was told i had to go get diagnosis at dealer witch i did at a cost 100. 00. Called nissan back and said i was out of luck and nothing they would do.... How can they get away with selling such a defective part for so long is beyond me and the fact that there is numerous class action law suits on this issue and nothing is being done about it..... This is a major safety issue as a transmission failure will cause the vehicle to stop in traffic.... Someone needs to do something about this. |
