| Description of the problem | I bought the car from a used car dealership with 109,000 miles on it. Not even a month after buying it, the intercooler line cracked causing the transmission fluid and coolant to mix. This completely destroyed my radiator, which i had to replace, along with flushing the entire cooling system. It also caused my transmission to fail. To repair my car will cost me about $5,000. I went to nissan about this and was told they could not help me because the car has over 100,000 miles on it. I was able to temporarily fix it, but now my transmission is completely junk and i can't afford to fix it or give it back to the bank. All of these issues occurred while i was driving the vehicle. |
