| Description of the problem | My wife's 05 nissan xterra started having problems when driving with shuttering, and rumble strip noises. Started noticing the heater would not blow hot when stationary. Took to transmission shop and my worst fear came true. Water in transmission i been hearing about. To top it off had rear end replaced six months ago cause the owner guaranteed me that was where the shuddering was coming from. That was a 2000 dollar repair. Needless to say it was not the damn rear end. Will never ever buy nissan again! They know all about this huge problem. People are hurting from this mess! The latest repair shop won't 4600 hundred for replacement of transmission &a radiator. Do not know what to do because u hear and read the about the engine could be corroded. Of course nissan doing nora! |
