Description of the problem	The service manager shocked me when she said i needed a new transmission ,because antifreeze had leaked into transmission and ruined it. She proceeded to tell me i need a timing chain ,u-joints , muffler clamps and that i should have taken better care of my truck. She advised i should get a new truck the cost would be a total of 4,500. 00 dollars for the repair!. I left in disbelief knowing a truck with 65k miles should not need a transmission. I researched on the web and found that nissan was aware of a defect in the radiator that caused this problem , not only on my truck but other nissan models as well. They settled a lawsuit that favors nissan , but neglected to inform any of there customers like myself with a heads up if the issue has not happened yet. I have to pay the first 3000. 00 dollars of the repair and nissan will pick up the rest , this is outrageous the cause of the problem was a defective radiator, this should have been recalled. The service adviser did not notify me of this issue at the dealership and as of yet has not sent me a detailed estimate of the repair. This should be a safety issue since the trans could slip at some time causing an accident. Nissan consumer affairs division has not responded with a remedy with my complaint . I have lost faith in the local dealer and with nissan product as well. Will not buy another nissan again. P. S. I took my vehicle to another repair facility and there estimate alone for the job was 4,555. 00 dollars, when driving it to them i could hardly drive over 40 mph and the transmission started slipping , again this should be a safety recall !. If i needed power to change lanes or get out of the way of another car i would have been killed.... Updated 09/22/15 *bf
