| Description of the problem | My 2005 nissan xterra se with 82k miles had the radiator fail, leaking coolant into the transmission. This is a common problem with nissan suvs and trucks for at least 2005-2007 model years. Nissan voluntarily extended their warranty to cover this type of issue to 80k miles, but it seems typical form the many online message boards addressing this issue that the problem arises after 80k miles. Nissan refuses to cover any of the costs of repair. |
