| Description of the problem | Transmission failure. The transmission radiator failed causing coolant to leak into the transmission which destroyed the transmission. I spoke to the nissan dealership and they acknowledged that this has been an issue with the xterras. Nissan does have a program to rebate some of the repair ($4,500 dollars). This program has a cutoff at 100k miles. My vehicle has 119k miles. Nissan will not do anything to help with the cost of repair although they have acknowledged that is a problem. Nissan does not have to worry about having me as a customer in the future! |
