| Description of the problem | On highway driving home from work when transmission suddenly failed, causing a dangerous situation for myself and fellow drivers. It was a very harrowing experience, to say the least. It now sits with the mechanic, who informs me that the dreaded engine coolant/transmission contamination issue has occurred... Unfortunately, my vehicle is over 10 years old and over 145,000 miles, so the recall notice does not apply... I now have to come up with $5,000 for repairs... How can nissan ignore this issue and neglect their customers? |
