| Description of the problem | The truck begin to shift hard and ride as if on grooves in the road. At time you would have to remove your feet from the gas several times to stop the vibration. The truck would jerk while driving or excel very fast without warning. After months of this the check engine soon light came on 11/19/13. I took the truck into the nissan dealer to find out what the problem was. They came back with a estimated investment: transmission, radiator, matic s coolant. No codes or issues that were wrong and at the bottom a grand total of $5047. 33. I was told the radiator coolant leaked into the transmission causing it to go bad. He said the coolant damages all the inner parts through corrosion. I thought while all the reports i have read about online about the 2006-2010 models nissan is happening to me. So what do i do pay a fortune to fix a defect that nissan has known about since 2007 and haven't recalled to fix them in a car i just bought a year ago, that is no where being paid off. We need some help with this there are complaints from nc to canada. This is not occurring in vehicles under warranty or extended warranty but in cars that are over the mileage. They told me the transmission pressure was to much. It is a suv with power they should be made to pay for this. |
