| Description of the problem | Driving xterra on highway when suv started to hesitate when moving forward in traffic.... Suv would hesitate, rev... And not shift out of gear easily upon acceleration. Took suv to mechanic and found out the radiators engine coolant was leaking into the transmission fluid causing the problem. I lucked out and did not damage the transmission, however; i am having to replace the radiator due to the nissan known defect. I was never given any letters or notified about this mechanical problem and now will be paying under a $900 for fluid flush, new radiator and new fluids. This is not ok for nissan to not notify the vehicle owners!!!! I expect repayment from nissan on their faulty mechanical equipment. |
