| Description of the problem | I drove 2hrs away to pick up my niece from college. The vehicle was fine on the freeway, but as soon as we exited, it started to sputter. We were very close to campus so we pulled in and made it through a couple more stop signs before we pulled into a stall and parked. It would not start after that. I had to tow it back home and to the dealer ship where i was told that a problem in the radiator caused fluids to mix which shot my engine. Now nissan wants to charge me $7650 for a radiator and transmission. That's ridicules considering nissan knew these vehicle had faulty radiators in them. This could have been very dangerous if this occurred on the freeway! |
