| Description of the problem | Was on the highway going down hill mind i ass when my 2007 nissan xterra began to down shift my its self. I can just imagine if i would have total tranny failure and caused an accident. After doing some search and asking around i was told that it may be my transmission. I then took it to a local transmission shop where they told me that my radiator would have to be replaced and there was coolant leaking into my transmission that is creating water damage. It's not the consumer's problem that they installed faulty components in their cars and trucks. There should be a recall for this item. Now i'm forced to pay for a radiator and for the tranny to be rebuild plus rental car price. |
