| Description of the problem | I am writing this in regard to the radiator cracking and leaking coolant into the transmission fluid. This problem completely ruins transmissions and there is no way to tell the problem is occuring. I have had the vehicle inspected regularly and maintained to all manufacturer specifications. I received zero notification from nissan about this issue. This is my primary vehicle i use to transport my child. I was left stranded on the side of a back road in extreme heat due to this defect. The cost of repairing this issue is well over the worth of the vehicle itself. |
