| Description of the problem | When i am drivinging at a slow speed , my transmission makes a noise and then feels like it's going to die, now i have noticed that there is fluid leaking from my radiator. When i researched the issue i was having and realizised this is a recurring problem that is being reported by many nissan xterra owners and that nission has been aware of this issue since 2007 , when i originally purchased my xterra . Now that i understand what the issue is , the radiator is leaking fluid in to my transmission and is destroying the transmission and radiator . In doing research on the problem i was having , and what happens when this occurs , i'm frightened to even drive my xterra at this point . Considering that nissan takes no responsibility in what should clearly be a recall , i'm stuck with a car that i've just recently paid off , that i am afraid to drive and do not have $4,700 to have the radios and transmission replaced . There was no warning when this happened at all . I have always maintained my nissan and thought i had made a well informed decision in my purchase . I will never do business with this company again . I'm so disappointed in the situation nissan has put myself and apparently many , many others in . No way to do business . |
