| Description of the problem | In 2007, i purchased a new nissan pathfinder, unaware of any defects. In 2011, i began having problems with my truck not producing heat while it was idle. Nissan stated that the coolant looked dark and advised me that their was air in the line. Once again, i'm having trouble with the heat and now i'm being told the transmission and coolant fluids are intermixed, and that it would cost between $7 and 8 thousand dollars because i need to replace both the transmission and the radiator. When i took my truck to nissan in 2011, and they knew the coolant was dark, i should have been made aware of the defect with the radiator assembly because my issues most likely had already started, and now, it's gotten worse. I was never advised of this problem until now. |
