| Description of the problem | The radiator used in my 2007 nissan xterra is a faulty product which caused a leak of the radiator fluid into the transmission fluid system. When the transmission heats up during longer periods of driving, the radiator fluid also heats up and effectively ruins the internal transmission parts. This has caused several issues in the shifting of the vehicle, and often times in very dangerous situations where acceleration is key to avoiding accidents. |
