Consumer Description

MY 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER BUCKS AS I ACCELERATE. I TOOK MY CAR TO LITHIA NISSAN AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A DEFECT WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR, AND THAT THEY SAW MILKY FLUID IN MY CAR WHICH INDICATED TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FLUID MIXING TOGETHER. THE COST WOULD BE $5000 TO FIX BOTH. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO MY PERSONAL MECHANIC, AND HE CHECKED THE FLUID WHICH WAS CLEAR. THE BUCKING PROBLEM STILL EXISTS IN MY CAR, WHAT ELSE WOULD CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAID I WAS OUT OF THE WARRANTY STAGE SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, I DON'T TRUST THEM NOW BECAUSE THEY TOLD ME FALSE INFORMATION REGARDING THE COLOR OF THE FLUID. WHAT SHOULD I DO ? *TR
