| Description of the problem | Driving down freeway, vehicle started to shudder/vibrate, check engine light comes on, can's accelerate, smoke coming from the hood of the vehicle. Pulled the vehicle off the highway. Take it to a mechanic, where he diagnoses the problem as transmission/radiator coolant issues. Hose broke and the fluid from the radiator/transmission mixed causing transmission to stop working. Take to nissan dealer, told $6000. 00 to fix. I have an extended warranty since i purchased vehicle used (ford warranty). Told ford will not cover anything, since the "transmission" wasn't really the problem. It was the coolant lines to the transmission that caused the problem. Just ford (big business) trying to find a way around paying for something. I paid for the warranty, and the warranty is basically useless. Was told by the dealership where i purchased the vehicle liberty ford, maple hts., ohio that it would cover transmission issues. What a scam. I will never purchase another nissan vehicle nor will i ever purchase an extended warranty. Frustrated nissan owner in ohio. |
