| Description of the problem | Coolant and transmission fluid are mixed causing the car to not shift properly. I was not told of this issue when i purchased the car in 2010 from the nissan dealer - even though it was a known condition. This is the 2nd time the transmission is failing, so it'll be my 3rd transmission. The first time it happened, the car had 70k miles. Now it has 115,000. So the 2nd transmission lasted about 45k miles. Nissan wants me to pay $3000 of the $5,850 estimate. If i knew this car was going to be this much trouble, i wouldn't have purchased it. I really think nissan should be doing a better job owning up to this issue and covering the expenses for their poor quality. |
