Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND NOTICE SMOKE COMING FROM NEAR (IT TURNS OUT IT WAS COMING FROM UNDERNEATH) ABOUT FEW SECONDS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS FLASHING, MY NISSAN PICKUP ENGINE LOST SOME SPEED AND IT APPEARS TO HAVE LOST POWER AS WELL BECAUSE IT WAS NOT ACCELERATING. I TOOK IT FOR INSPECTION TO 2 DIFFERENT AUTO SHOPS LOCALLY AND HAVE GOTTEN THE SAME REPORTS FROM BOTH SHOPS.I HAVE A BAD TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKS SEEMS TO HAVE CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I HAVE TAKEN MY PICKUP TO NISSAN AFTER LEARNING ABOUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY TO ROSEVILLE FUTURE NISSAN AND THEY SEEMS HAVE AGREED ABOUT THIS KNOWN ISSUE. THEY SAID NISSAN HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY UP TO 100K MILES (SO TECHNICAL IT SHOULD BE COVERED), HOWEVER THEY ARE ASKING FOR 3000K FOR DEDUCTIBLE. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY SAID THEY ARE WAITING FOR COURT TO DECIDE ON THIS KNOWN ISSUE AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HELP UNTIL IT'S RESOLVED. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND OUT I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HELP AND ADVISE IF I NEED TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST NISSAN AS THIS IS CLEARLY A KNOWN ISSUE AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE ASKING FOR 3K.
