| Description of the problem | My 2006 nissan xterra began shuddering as if the car was riding on rumble strips, while i was trying to maintain speed. When the od is off it does not shudder/rumble. After an inspection and research we determined that coolant was leaking into the transmission fluid and causing the car to shudder. We have taken great care of our car and this is a manufacturer defect in the radiator and it should not be paid for by the consumers! |
