| Description of the problem | I was driving on the interstate at 60mph when i attempted to speed up and switch lanes the truck suddenly lost power and shut off. I was almost rear ended three times lucky there was no one in the other lane so they went around i had no power steering or power brakes while trying to pay attention and not get hit i had to put the truck in neutral and try to start it back up the truck started and seemed to idle fine i put it back in drive and limped it to the side of the interstate whiteout getting hit luckily and called a tow truck and had it towed to a shop i had my wife and two small children in the truck thank god nothing happened. The shop told me that the transmission and radaitor fluid mixed causing my transmission to fail they told me that my radiator is crack and coolant mixed with the transmission fluid i didn't fix it yet i don't have the money i just paid it off and i'm trying to buy a house and now looking on line there are hundreds of cases of this and a lawsuit that was one but my truck has 150,000 miles on it all interstate mainly but i'm way out of the miles for warranty, so why isn't this a recall ? If this has happened so many times it is a safety issue i was was almost hit three times and i had to limp my truck to the side of the interstate were i could have been hit sitting still . I'm very upset over this nissan wants 5k to fix it so i guess i will start saving my money hopefully this will be a recall soon. |
