| Description of the problem | Started hearing a rumble strip sound while on smooth pavement. Vehicle started shifting harder, with slight vibrations. Before i could take it in, i was involved with a hit in run in a parking lot. Nissan said the upper and lower radiator hoses were soaked in transmission fluid. Manager said it had been leaking for some time. He said i needed a new radiator, and transmission cost of 6500. Nissan updated their radiators because they new it was a defective part, but refuse to take care of damage they have caused. See link http://www. Nissanassist. Com/web/radiator/faqs. Php? Menu=22 |
