| Description of the problem | My 2005 xterra s-v6 4x2 had loss of power and had to be towed to a dealership. They diagnosed the problem as a failed transmission fluid cooler located in the radiator assembly that allowed coolant to mix with and contaminate the automatic transmission fluid, resulting in damaged to the radiator that had to be replaced and the transmission is now damaged. There were no warning signs leading up to the failures. When i spoke to nissan they stated there was no recall. After i did some research, i found out there is a extended warranty. When i called nissan back they stated it was only up to 80,000. So repairs are on me. |
