| Description of the problem | The transmission began to slip and the radiator fluid overflow cannister started to expel a purple liquid. Car was found to have a cracked transmission cooling tube in the base of the radiator and the antifreeze had mixed with the transmission fluid. Found out on line that this is a very common problem that nissan refuses to acknowledge as a defect. Radiator replaced and cooling system flushed along with the required transmission flushing and fluid replacement. Repairs became very expensive. Only hope transmission doesn't fail next. |
