| Description of the problem | Transmission failure because of coolant fluid leaking into it. A design flaw which brought a class action suit against nissan. Nissan lost the suit, but did not recall these vehicles for repair. I was forced to pay $3000. 00 deductible for the repair, but i may be lucky since many with this problem will not be covered at all. Very unfair of nissan. |
