| Description of the problem | Our 2007 nissan xterra, purchased brand new, began to overheat. Upon checking the fluids i noticed the coolant level was dangerously low. I was certainly puzzled where the fluid had gone because there has never been any visible leaks or any warning lights or any other symptom to draw my attention. I began to look into the situation because i was puzzled and quickly learned of the massive number of nissan owners experiencing the same problem. Sadly, i was now one of those victims. Yes, the coolant had contaminated the transmission fluid via the faulty transmission cooler. There is a class action lawsuit that i am sure you are aware of but i was unaware of. I do not recall any contact notifying me of a class action lawsuit and the potential damage. I had no reason for worry because my vehicle had not given me any trouble signs and the fluids have always checked normal during normal service checks. Like many, i cannot afford to shell out the dollars that this negligence on nissan corporation behalf has caused. I encourage you to please force nissan corporation to issue a recall requiring them to make all the appropriate repairs for these damages. Please, do not put a cap on the mileage or set the mileage relatively high if you must. My vehicle has only 89,000 miles and only gave signs of damage less than 500 miles ago. |
