Consumer Description

MY NISSAN XTERRA IS A VICTIM OF THE MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHERE THE COOLANT IN THE RADIATOR MIXES WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID, DUE TO A LEAK IN THE TRANSMISSION COOLER, CAUSING COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. MY TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND DRIVING IS ERRATIC, CAUSING UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE REPAIR IS QUOTED AT $6,000 DOLLARS AND IS NOT CONSIDERED A RECALL ITEM. NISSAN HAS EXTENDED COVERAGE ON VEHICLES UP TO 100,00 MILES ONLY, BUT THIS IS STARTING TO HAPPEN TO NEWER VEHICLES OVER 100,00 MILES. A RADIATOR REPLACEMENT WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED SOON! *TR
