Consumer Description

THIS 2006 NISSAN XTERRA PROBLEM HAS CAUSED PROBLEMS WITH STABILITY OF THE VEHICLE, LURCHES IN ACCELERATION, NEAR-STALLS, AND UNCERTAINTY ABOUT RELIABILITY OF VEHICLE IN TAKING TRIPS. THE PROBLEMS CONTINUES TO GET WORSE AND WE HAVE DETERMINED THAT IT IS CAUSED BY ENGINE COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND VICE VERSA. THERE IS VERY VISIBLE EVIDENCE OF THE COOLANT BEING IN THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE RADIATOR. I HAVE CHECKED BOTH OF THESE AND THERE IS NO MISTAKING IT. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE TWO TRIPS BECAUSE OF BEING AFRAID OF THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILING AND LEAVING ME AND MY FAMILY STRANDED IN A REMOTE AREA DURING THE TRIP, NOT TO MENTION MY EVERYDAY DRIVING THAT IS REQUIRED. *TR
