| Description of the problem | During a routine oil change at fort lauderdale nissan i was told the radiator somehow cracked was leaking around the vehicle, but no more info was covered or discussed. As it was already in the shop who was to argue this, as i was told i wouldn't be able to drive the vehicle. I had driven the vehicle many mile since my prior service and not once had this vehicle overheated. A month later when i was getting tires i received an inspection at a different shop and their claim was my transmission fluid was very dirty and frothy and it needed changing, so i did this. Now, in 2017 after a few odd transmission issues that went unexplainable besides regular service, at 135,000 i have transmission failure and have learned why: due to faulty radiator leakage at one point. I wasn't informed of anything of this nature now i am paying for it. The total failure happened while driving. |
