| Description of the problem | 05 nissan xterra radiator leaked antifreeze into the transmission causing the vehicle to not move until rpm's reached a certain speed. Car had been vibrating prior to incident which was thought to be tires. Car was towed to transmission shop and at a cost of $4800 for repairs. I understand this is a problem that multiple owners have had and that nissan is not accepting responsibility for. I was put at risk as i drive 35 miles each way to and from work and a majority of this driving is done on the highway. My drive time is very early in the morning and very late at night. If the car had broke down i would have been stranded on the side of the highway. |
