| Description of the problem | Radiator fluid leaked into my transmission. This caused an entire shutdown of my transmission. I was told by nissan that it would take up to $5,000 to repair. The radiator fluid leaked due to a defect that nissan could have easily recalled and avoided. I have conducted research and found that thousands of other nissan owners have experienced the same problem and nissan is not willing to do anything about it. I was told that i would be responsible for the cost even though this could have been easily avoided by nissan manufacturers. |
