Consumer Description

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE #1 LANE AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH ON THE 60 EAST FREEWAY CLOSE TO THE INTERSECTION OF THE 57 NORTH FREEWAY CONNECTOR, I LOST FULL POWER AND WAS FORCED TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY EXIT NARROWLY MISSING SEVERAL TRUCKS AND CARS IN THE PROCESS. AFTER LIMPING HOME AND LETTING THE VEHICLE SIT FOR A FEW DAYS, I TOOK THE TRUCK TO PUENTE HILLS NISSAN COMPLAINING THAT I LOSE POWER ONCE THE TRANSMISSION COMES TO TEMPERATURE AND THAT I NEEDED THEM TO ASSES THE DAMAGE AT A COST TO ME OF $130. THEIR EVALUATION EVENTUALLY CONCLUDED THAT THE RADIATOR HAD RUPTURED CAUSING COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION THEREBY DAMAGING IT BEYOND REPAIR. THEY QUOTED ME APPROXIMATELY $4,500 FOR THE REPAIR WHICH MAINLY INCLUDED LABOR, TAX, A REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION, A NEW RADIATOR, AND ALL NECESSARY HOSES AND PARTS. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BUT APPROXIMATELY 1.5 MILES FROM MY HOME, I LOST POWER ONCE AGAIN AND WAS FORCED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED THE REST OF THE WAY. THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE AT ALL AT THIS POINT. *TR
