| Description of the problem | Calsonic radiator issue - transmission fluid and coolant mixed causing issues with transmission. Bad transmission cooler area per aamco. Nissan is unwilling to help as my vehicle has 126k miles on it. These issues appear to be happening in a much greater % than nissan is acknowledging. They moved the warranty from 3 yrs/36000 miles to 8 years/80000 miles but it still doesn't help those whose radiator leaked after the 100k level prematurely. This is a safety issue and also a manufacturing defect issue. It seems that nissan corporate, dealers, transmission shops and other governmental organizations knew about this issue - sadly, most consumers don't. I would have gladly replaced my radiator for $500 but now i will be out $4000 because nissan didn't tell their owners about this problem. |
