| Description of the problem | Transmission control module fried due to contamination from the radiator fluid. Nissan was aware of contamination in transmission through the radiator and this contamination causes the control module in the transmission to short. Every time i want to start my vehicle i have to replace a 10amp fuse under the hood that will always blow every time i start it. Repair cost for a new control module are exceeding $4000 every place i go. Nissan should be responsible for repairs of their faulty design. Due to this defect my family was stranded, i had to leave my work and pick them up in below 30 degree temperatures. |
