| Description of the problem | My cars coolant gage jumped straight to h out of nowhere. After pulling into a shell station for antifreeze, it was apparent what had happened. There was something mixed in with the antifreeze. It was the transmission fluid. After being told i would need a new transmission and radiator, i started researching and im not the only one dealing with an otherwise great body you can't do anything with and doubt i will be the last. After further research it appears that no recall has been approved and i believe there are many of us wondering why? This is a consistent problem with hundreds of cars and it's not even one make, it's many. 3 in my category. Does a recall only happen when it has fatality attached? This is a faulty system and nissan approved these coolants in the transmissions and continued to even after complaints of the system. I was lucky to catch mine right away but still need $3000 to fix it! It won't be long until fatality is attached once someone's transmission goes out on a highway or in 5 o'clock traffic! Nissan needs to issue a recall!!! |
