| Description of the problem | Transmission control unit fried by defected radiator failure. I am now one of the many 2007 xterra owners taken by the nissan motor corporation who put out a defective product and now refuse to stand behind it. Me and the wife were stopping to get a bite to eat, ended up being a final stop. After picking up the food the truck would not crank, gauges worked, horn and lights but still would not crank. Had it towed to the house and then contacted the dealership. Then it gets worst, the dealership "technician" replied with the exact same description of problem over the phone that i gave to him when i called to have it towed to the dealer. The symptoms are no crank, milky looking radiator fluid and the automatic transmission fuses keeps blowing. Now i contacted the nissan motor corporation and got no "joy" when i found out that the were offering a big fat nothing!!!!!! I guess this is what you get for buying a nissan :( |
