Consumer Description

AROUND 95000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN VERY ABRUPT JERKING WHEN ACCELERATING. AROUND MAY 2011 TRANSMISSION BEGAN SLIPPING, I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND DISCOVERED MANY PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM DUE TO RADIATOR CRACKED. I LOOKED INTO MY RADIATOR AND DISCOVERED STRAWBERRY LOOKING FLUID . REPLACED MY RADIATOR , AN FLUSHED IT A FEW TIMES AND THEN FLUSHED MY TRANSMISSION WHICH HAD THE SAME COLOR FLUIDS, I BELIEVE NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THESE FAULTY RADIATORS AND TRANSMISSION AND DRAG IT OUT THROUGH COURT SO PEOPLE WOULD LOOSE THEIR OPPORTUNITY TO USE THEIR WARRANTY. I AM CURRENTLY TRYING TO GET NISSAN TO REPLACE MY FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND I AM WILLING TO PAY A $3000.00 FEE BUT SO FAR THEY ARE RELUCTANT. ANY SUGGESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR
