| Description of the problem | I was driving on a regular one way street, when my check engine light came on and smoke came from under the hood. By the way, this happened on my wedding day. Anyways, i had the car towed to a car shop to find out the radiator burst causing the coolant and transmission fluid to mix, my transmission is ruined and needs to be replaced, my radiator needs to be replaced, the fluids got into my water pump which also needs to be replaced. The complete cost for damages is $7500. Now i am out of a car and cant trade it in because it is not worth anything at this point. After reading all the complaints i see many others have faced this problem, there needs to be a recall on these faulty radiators in the 2006 nissan xterras. |
