Consumer Description

OUR RADIATOR IN OUR VEHICLE BEGAN MIXING FLUID WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THIS CAUSED ERRATIC DRIVING WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND POOR AND VERY SHAKY ACCELERATION. WE WERE LUCKY TO NOT HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION SEIZE ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE THIS WAS DIAGNOSED AND THEY TOLD US THE ENTIRE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. WE FILED A CLAIM WITH NISSAN USA, BUT IT WAS DENIED. THE TIME FRAME FOR THE WARRANTY WAS COVERED, BUT WE HAD SLIGHTLY EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE WARRANTY. THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH MULTIPLE VEHICLES OF THE SAME TYPE AND A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IS CURRENTLY PENDING. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE AWARE THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BY NISSAN FOR THE PROBLEM AS THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
