| Description of the problem | My vehicle suddenly started to have a delay in acceleration when the gas pedal was pushed, and then would catch and lurch forward. I have been told that the transmission inner cooler ruptured and has ruined both the radiator and transmission. Further research indicates this is a known issue that nissan has failed to accurately advise owners about, or issue a recall. This is negligent and wholly unethical. Negligent in that the symptoms could lead to serious harm out injury, as there is no warning prior to the damage being done. Unethical in that now nissan gets to profit from their negligence, as it will cost $5,000 to remedy what could and should have been much less costly. |
