| Description of the problem | My suv was on a highway, and 4wd indicator light came on and vehicle made a vibrating noise, pulled off and turned vehicle off and would not restart, the suv was towed to the nissan dealership for diagnostic test. Results: the codes u1000, p1807 and p0717 (transmission) cost $4, 491,58. In april 2016, i had a leak from the radiator that ruined the transmission. I initially had the radiator replaced and the transmission flushed, cost $1000 at nissan dealership. This was only a band-aid however, and did not fix the problem. 6 months later transmission failed. Nissan put the consumer under the bus. I filed a complaint with nissan consumer affairs case# 24403641 with no assistant, due to the mileage of 100k exceeds warranty. Nissan was aware of this default in radiators back in 2007 and did not notify a recall to the consumer. A cross contamination where coolant leaks into the transmission and destroys the transmission. I will never buy another nissan product, due to this ordeal and very difficult situation. I've always maintained my suv on all required maintenance. Nissan corporation needs to assist the consumer, and the extended warranty and deductible was a joke. There has been over 2500 consumers affected by this issue. Nissan continues to sell their products and i would highly advise consumers to stop buying nissan, not a trustworthy company period.
