| Description of the problem | I was in md interstate 97 going north at 65 mph when my vehicle started to shake intensely that i had to slow down which nearly cause a multiple collision(at least 4) from a vehicle behind hitting me. As i slowly moved to the side, the vehicle jerked forward that nearly hit another vehicle. Brought it to pep boys and assessed caused by transmission and i was advised to bring it to the dealer. Nissan dealer diagnosed coolant leaking into the transmission. Coolant also leaking from the upper and lower radiator and radiator is also leaking. This looks like a mechanical issue that definitely lead and cause safety issue. |
