| Description of the problem | Car began overheating and even when allowed cool down time continued to run hot. Inspection shows that the car has transmission leaking into the radiator. Even when flushed and refilled - immediately mixes again. Car is not operable. Dealership indicates $5k to repair. The car has just passed 100,000 and is not eligible for any warranty. Nissan was well aware of this issue and opted not to recall or even inform customers of issues to watch for. Now, i am out a car - i do not have 5k nor do i have the ability to walk out and just buy a new car. Thanks nissan for looking out for yourself and not the customers who keep you in business. *js |
