| Description of the problem | I bought a new nissan xterra from sloane nissan in 2006, after 70+ miles, the car vibrates at around 40mph while shifting automatic gear (i did not know why it was vibrating). Finally aft 80+ miles, i took it to the dealer to only find out that the radiator blew the transmission. That is a shame, i just finished paying for the car and now i have to spend more money to fix it. It seems to be a very common problem with nissan xterra, pathfinder & frontier. The radiator is junk and needs to be recalled. |
