| Description of the problem | driving south on the florida turnpike, our nissan x-terra would not change speed at 40 miles per hour and it appeared that the transmission could not change. The slip indicator light went on. This situation happened approximately three times, after each incident we had to stop on the side of the highway. Finally after the third attempt the vehicle picked up speed. When we got home, i checked the transmission fluid and it had what appeared to be water. I checked the radiator cap, and instead of liquid the mixture seemed to be a creme paste, like it had oil. Searching in google, i found that there was a lawsuit brought again nissan for this defect. However today at bill seidle's nissan in miami, i was told that there is a co-payment of $2,500. 00. This is outrageous, since the problem was created by nissan and not by the owner of the vehicle. |
