| Description of the problem | While driving my "check engine soon" light appear, today i took it to a nissan dealership to get a diagnostic to fix it. To make short the transmission and radiator needs replacement ($4,600. 00 dlls)because there's antifreeze in the transmission fluid. Online i found out that this problem is common to 2006 xterras, funny thing is nissan know all about it, but so far hasn't call a recall to fix their own mess. Another thing, i've got serviced my vehicle at to nissan dealership s and never ever make a simple comment or advised about this problem with the radiator to me on my prior visits. It seems to me that they are reckless for holding critical info about preventable issues, specially since this is a design flaw on their part |
