Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AROUND 70 MPH. EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER FOLLOWED BY MY CAR RUNNING HOT. I PULLED OVER AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY REPAIR SHOP. DIAGNOSIS WAS THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE RADIATOR WAS REPLACED AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS FLUSHED. TOTAL COSTS $900. POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION UNKNOWN AT THE TIME. THE CAR IS NOW BACK IN THE SHOP WITH THE SAME ISSUES SLIPPING/GRINDING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. LOOKING ONLINE IT SEEMS THAT A NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH A LEAKY RADIATOR HOSE. I SPOKE WITH A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY SAID THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE. *TR
