| Description of the problem | Just started moving after stopping at a light, and the engine stalled. Would not restart immediately, but when it finally restarted it was missing. Every time i have driven this car since then it has stalled, usually but not always after i have stopped or slowed to make a turn. I took it to the dealer this week (1/5/2013) and was told the problem is the transmission and radiator. The transmission is leaking fluid into the radiator and they both need to be replaced. I was told about the extended warranty and the $3000. 00 co-pay. I have to fix the car but i don't know where i'm going to get $3000. 00. I don't understand why nissan didn't recall the part that fails which allows the fluid to leak into the radiator. That would have saved hundreds of people and nissan a lot of trouble and expense. There shouldn't be any co-pay since nissan could have prevented this. |
