| Description of the problem | 2006 nissan xterra with 95000 miles. Felt a vibration at 40 mph and after doing research online, took it in to have the transmission and radiator flushed. Found out that the radiator leaked coolant which found its way into the transmission and has all but destroyed it. Currently at the transmission shop looking at a $5k plus bill to replace the transmission and radiator. This has happened enough that the national transmission shop sells a package for nissan vehicles to correct this issue. Not happy. Was recently considering buying a second nissan but not anymore as they are failing to address this well documented issue. |
