Consumer Description

RADIATOR FAILED ALLOWING COOLANT TO CONTAMINATE TRANSMISSION CAUSING IT TO FAIL AS WELL. I REALLY LIKE THIS VEHICLE AND I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD PAY TO FIX ALL OF THESE AFFECTED SINCE IT IS A KNOWN EQUIPMENT FAILURE AND HAS HAPPENED AT SUCH A WIDE RANGE OF MILEAGE. I HAD THIS ONE CHECKED AT 60,000 MILES AND HAD NO PROBLEM WITH NEITHER PART AND I HAVE BEEN WATCHING IT REGULARLY BUT DIDN'T CATCH IT IN TIME WHEN IT FINALLY WENT. I AM AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC FOR THE LAST 20+ YEARS AND ONCE A TRANSMISSION IS CONTAMINATED WITH COOLANT THERE IS ONLY ON FIX AND THAT IS TO REPLACE OR REBUILD.....NOT JUST A FLUSH AND SEND ON YOUR WAY! *TR
