| Description of the problem | On 7/10/15 my husband was checking the radiator and found transmission fluid in it. I immediately called pine belt nissan of toms river nj were we purchased this vechicle and 2 others the service department said we would need a transmission and it would be $7,000. It was no longer under warranty it was warrantied to 100,000 when i questioned it because we were 2,000 miles over i was told well the warranty was only to 100,000 when my vin # was checked. So we checked around for a transmission shop and decided to have it fixed at american transmission in lakewood nj. He had told us to contact nissan because there is a problem with the design of the radiator that is bad and causing the transmission problem. We ended up spending $5,069. 23 to have it fixed $2000 less than nissan had quoted. We had it fixed right away because we did not know if this probem would also ruin the engine. I already wrote to nissan about this problem for a refund and waiting for a response. I had told them we were a loyal customer of nissan owning 8 of their vehicles. |
