| Description of the problem | Check engine light came on and truck wouldn't shift into overdrive. Pull code p0717 indicating the transmission sensor or computer was out. Took to shop and they said the transmission cooling line in the radiator cracked, the transmission fluid was then mixed with antifreeze, and it fouled the transmission parts and knock out the computer. Transmission had to be replace and the shop noted that nissan wouldn't warranty the transmission without replacing the radiator, which they knew had to be done anyway. They said they've seen sooo many of these it's ridiculous. $4,225. 43 repair that could have been avoided if we'd just known to replace the $200 radiator. |
