Consumer Description

SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER/STALLING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS ANTI-SLIP LIGHT. TOOK VEHICLE SAME DAY TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP. TRUCK ACTUALLY STALLED ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP HOWEVER I WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A BAD CAM SHAFT SENSOR. SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THEY ALSO MENTIONED THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS CONTAMINATED WITH ENGINE COOLANT. SUGGESTED REPAIR WAS TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION-$4800. I CHOSE TO JUST REPLACE THE CAM SENSOR. THREE DAYS LATER, 8/9, LOST POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEED. RADIATOR AND HOSES LEAKED AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. AGAIN DEALERSHIP SUGGESTED REPLACING THE RADIATOR AS WELL AS THE TRANSMISSION. REPLACED RADIATOR AND HOSES, FLUSHED TRANSMISSION TWICE. I PLAN TO DISPOSE THE TRUCK. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS PRIOR TO THESE TWO INCIDENTS. MY OPINION IS THAT THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURING/ENGINEERING DEFECT. *TR
