Consumer Description

NOTICED ROUGH SHIFTS IN TRANSMISSION, EVENTUALLY FAILED TO ENGAGE 5TH GEAR. TOOK TO DEALER, TRANSMISSION LINES INSIDE RADIATOR HAD RUPTURED. REPLACED TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR AND LINES AT A COST OF OVER $8000 AND 4 WEEKS TIME. THIS OCCURRED AT 67K MILES. AT 87K MILES, RADIATOR FLUID IS MILKY AND SHOWS SYMPTOMS OF ANOTHER RUPTURE OF COOLANT LINES INSIDE TRANSMISSION. DEALER AND NISSAN USA DO NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE OR INHERENT DEFECT IN ENGINEERING. HOWEVER, A SIMPLE SEARCH WILL SHOW AN EXTREMELY LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR ISSUES CAUSED BY FAULTY COOLING LINES IN THE RADIATOR RUPTURING CAUSING TRANSMISSION ABRUPT BEHAVIOR AND THE DANGER FOR LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL DUE TO THE FAILURE. *TR
