NHTSA Complaint #10492327 — 2008 NISSAN FRONTIER

STARTED TO NOTICE HEAT NOT WORKING AT AN IDLE BUT WHEN ACCELERATED HEAT WAS WORKING FINE. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING ABOUT IT SEEING AS IT WAS COLD OUTSIDE. THEN I RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR A SUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS CAUSED BY TRANSMISSION COOLING LINE LEAKING CAUSING COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID TO MIX AND TRANSMISSION FAILING. I NOW HAVE 102,000 MILES ON MY FRONTIER AND THE SETTLEMENT NISSAN OFFERS WILL NOT COVER ME EVEN THOUGH VEHICLE IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THE HEAT ISSUE IS CAUSED BY THE LEAK AS WELL. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE NOT A SETTLEMENT WHICH ONLY COVERS PEOPLE WHO NEVER DRIVE THEIR VEHICLE. 8 YEAR 80,000 MILE EXTENSION IS A JOKE. NOW I WILL HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET TO REPAIR MY ONLY VEHICLE THAT I HAVE BEFORE FURTHER DAMAGE IS DONE TO THE TRANSMISSION. IT STUTTERS AT THE MOMENT HOPEFULLY IT WONT COMPLETELY FAIL BEFORE I CAN AFFORD TO REPAIR IT. *TR
