Consumer Description

HAD BEEN GETTING SOME NOISES FROM THE TRANSMISSION FOR A LITTLE WHILE, BUT MECHANIC NEVER CAUGHT THE REAL ISSUE. TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING 100KM/H, OVERDRIVE AND 4TH GEARS NO LONGER WORKED. WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME AND DO QUICK INTERNET SEARCH WHERE IT BECAME OBVIOUS THAT MY PROBLEM WAS RELATED TO ENGINE COOLANT GETTING MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION OIL DUE TO FAILED COOLER INSIDE RADIATOR. OPENED UP RADIATOR CAP WHICH CONFIRMED THIS FACT, TRANNY OIL FLOATING ON TOP OF THE ENGINE COOLANT. COSTS FOR REBUILDING TRANSMISSION OVER $5,000, HOOKED UP OIL TO EXTERNAL COOLER ALREADY IN THE TRUCK, THEREFORE SAVED COST OF REPLACING RADIATOR (BYPASSED THIS COOLER). THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING OR DESIGN DEFECT, NOTHING DO WITH NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. NISSAN WILL NOT REIMBURSE THE REPAIR. *TR
