Consumer Description

THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A BUSY STREET DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR, AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STOPPED RUNNING AND WENT TO A CRAWLING SPEED (AROUND 1-2 MPH). CARS BEHIND NEEDED TO MOVE QUICKLY TO AVOID COLLISION, AND BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SHOULDER, THE CAR BLOCKED TRAFFIC. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEIR FIRST DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT IT WAS A FAILURE OF THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY, AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE AROUND $2400 FOR THE REPAIR. THREE DAYS LATER, AFTER LOOKING AT IT, THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION, WITH A COST OF REPAIR OF $7400. *TR
