| Description of the problem | My 21 year old daughter was driving our xterra in ellensburg, washington 260 miles in the desert when the car transmission stopped working! Brought it for two reliable estimates and like all the others this is a cause from a defect in the radiator that obviously nissan has known about for quite a long time. Do they need more bad press? I will be putting it on craigslist and any place else i can to include the back window of the truck. My daughter was stranded!!!! In the middle of a desert with no cell phone reception. Does nissan want the liability of this? It's theres because they knew about the faulty power train and did nothing. I have added my name and filed a class action law suit against nissan for this problem that they fail to recognize. I don't get it at all. It's the error of nissan and they need to take responsibility for their mess! *tt |
