| Description of the problem | My car was running fine and normal but when i tried to start it, nothing happened. I tried to jump the battery and i replaced the starter. After those attempts i had the vehicle towed to a nearby dealership who told me that coolant from the radiator leaked into the transmission and mixed fluid, damaging both the transmission and ecm. Car will not start and the is no communications working. The nissan dealership recommended i get a new radiator, ipdm module, and transmission which was estimated at a cost of $5,500 after parts and labor. I had the vehicle towed to a local repair shop for a second opinion and was told the same thing as the dealer had said. |
