Consumer Description

EXPERIENCED SUDDEN JERKING WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAILED TRANSMISSION COOLER WHICH ALLOWED COOLANT TO MIX WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, CAUSING INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. PRIOR TO THIS, THERE WAS NOTHING AMISS WITH THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. APPARENTLY THIS IS COMMON AND EVEN THOUGH SEVERAL COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED TO NHTSA, NISSAN STILL CLAIMS THAT THERE IS NO DEFECT. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, PLEASE CONSIDER ISSUING A RECALL. I JUST BOUGHT MY TRUCK IN DEC. 2012 WITH ABOUT 81,000 MILES AND 4 MONTHS AND 2,000 MILES LATER, I AM ON THE HOOK FOR THIS DEFECT. *TR
