Consumer Description

WHILE ACCELERATING, MERGING ONTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY, AND WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE LOST POWER LUNGED FORWARD AND STARTED MAKING A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. I WAS NEARLY HIT FROM BEHIND BY A VEHICLE HAVING THE RIGHT-OF-WAY BEFORE I COULD GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AND WAS DIAGNOSED BY A MECHANIC AS HAVING "CROSS CONTAMINATION OF TRANSMISSION FLUID AND ANTIFREEZE DUE TO TRANSMISSION INTERCOOLER FAILURE". THIS INCIDENT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO AND DISMISSED BY NISSAN AS NOT BEING A FREQUENT PROBLEM FOR THEM. *TR
