Consumer Description

LAST TIME I CHANGED MY OIL ABOUT A MONTH AGO, THEY WERE CONFUSED AT WHY I HAD OIL IN MY RADIATOR. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT A GOOD SIGN! YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, MY TRUCK HAD NO POWER AND IT EVENTUALLY STOPPED MOVING IN THE ROAD. THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING, BUT WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN A GEAR AND MOVE FORWARD. I HAD IT TAKEN TO A LOCAL SHOP TO LOOK IT OVER AND AFTER A TEST DRIVE AND LOOKING AT THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FLUIDS, THEY SAID I HAD A CROSS CONTAMINATION OF THE TWO SYSTEMS AND IT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. THEY CALLED THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE A LAW SUIT I CAN JOIN TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THE EXPENSE OF REPLACING THE CVT. (CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION) IT WILL COST ABOUT $4,200. I LOOKED ONLINE AND IT LOOKS LIKE NISSAN ALSO HAS AT CVT REPLACEMENT PROGRAM. I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS SO I COULD HAVE HAD IT REPLACED AND NOT PUT IN DANGER. *TR
