| Description of the problem | My 2005 nissan xterra transmission went out as i was driving across the causeway and almost ended up in the marsh. I searched online and this is a common problem with the radiator leaking into the transmission. Nissan was involved in a class action lawsuit but it's to late for damages. I think this is a safety issue and nissan should have recalled these vehicles before someone is killed. |
