Consumer Description

CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC GOING UP A HILL AND OVERHEATED AND HAD WHITE FOAM DRIPPING FROM THE ENGINE AND UNDERNEATH. THE COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID CROSS CONTAMINATED AND IT RUINED THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. I REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED. CAR WORKED UNTIL 8-30-13, WHEN VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUDDER, RPM GAUGE RAN TO 5000, VEHICLE HAD NO POWER ON A HIGHWAY CAUSING A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE. A CRASH COULD HAVE ENSUED. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER. THE TRANSMISSION IS OUT. NOW I AM FACED WITH A $3000 FEE/CO-PAY, FOR SOMETHING I DIDN'T CAUSE! NISSAN NEEDS HELD RESPONSIBLE. *JB
