| Description of the problem | My wife drove the suv to town. It started acting funny (transmission was not shifting correctly). At this time the suv acted like it was out of drive and would not go forward or reverse. She had it towed to a repair shop to see what was going on with it. They called her later the same day and told her that her transmission cooling line in the radiator had leaked coolant into transmission. The nissan dealership in longview, wa. Told us that we have to pay $2500. 00 if we want our suv repaired, and that in october 2012 they had sent a letter stating that we needed to bring our suv in because of this very problem. We did not receive this so called letter. |
