| Component | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Vehicle began to vibrate at speeds of approx 45 mph. Over a short period of time, the condition worsened - the vibrations became more aggressive and began to occur at higher speeds. After investigation by nissan, they advised that there was an issue with the radiator and possibly transmission that was no longer under warranty because i was outside of the 100,000 mile limit. The coolant is leaking into the transmission fluid cooler line and ultimately right into the transmission, thereby causing damage that may or may not be repaired with a new radiator and transmission. Apparently, this is a know issue with these vehicles and nissan neglected to alert consumers. At this time, the vehicle is inoperable. |
