| Description of the problem | 5/29/14 check engine light came on,transmission slipping. Diagnosed as radiator contaminated with transmission fluid,replaced radiator,drained coolant, flushed multiple times. 7/12/2014 on family vacation out of state engine light came on,transmission slipping, low transmission fluid. Filled fluid by beach ready auto. 7/15/2014 check engine light again on interstate highway traveling at 60 mph total transmission failure. Rebuilt transmission put in out of state,8 days missed work,airline ticket home. My expenses for this defect in design by nissan is $5900. The fact that there has not been a recall initiated by nissan is completely unacceptable and dangerous. A failure on the company's part to stand behind their products wrong , but knowingly allowing their product to endanger people's lives is inexcusable. |
