| Description of the problem | I took my car in for an oil change in april 2014 and they found a milky substance in my radiator and replaced the radiator cleaned the lines and replaced the antifreeze. They also drained the transmission fluid, cleaned the lines and replaced the trans fluid. In march 2015, i noticed the hesitation when the car was switching gears from 45 to 50 mph. I took it to aamco and they advised this is a known defect that nissan is being sued about. I contacted consumer affiairs with nissan and filed a case. I took my nissan to a nissan dealer and they confirmed it needed a new transmission and radiator at a cost of $7000. They also advised given the mileage that nissan would not do anything and they were right. |
