| Description of the problem | I was driving 35 mph on a busy street when my vehicle would not accelerate. I towed my car to nissan dealer and was told my trans was no good and it would cost 6,000 to 10,000 to fix. I contacted nissans consumer affairs and they said i did not qualify for any warranties. Nissan told me there was no radiator fluid in my transmission which seems to be a common complaint. I towed my car for a second opinion and was told my trans does have radiator fluid in it and it also flooded my computer in the trans. Why did nissan lie to me? I found that nissan did extend the warranty on the radiators and that an e-mail did go out to nissan owners stating they would also cover the trans if caused by radiator leakage to 80,000 miles but nissan told me i don't qualify because i am a second owner? Still waiting on a response from nissan. This has caused a great hardship on me. |
