Consumer Description

ON THE HIGHWAY, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO FEEL AS IF THE CAR WAS GOING TO STALL. THE COOLANT LIGHT INDICATOR MOVED RAPIDLY TO THE HIGH END, WHICH SEEMED TO INDICATE A RADIATOR OR COOLANT PROBLEM. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND LET THE CAR COOL DOWN, BEFORE PROCEEDING ON BACK ROADS TO GET HOME. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACT AS IF IT WAS GOING TO STALL EVEN AT 15-20 MILES PER HOUR. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE RADIATOR CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. NISSAN IS AWARE THIS IS A PROBLEM BUT AS MY CAR IS OVER 80,000 MILES, I WILL NEED TO PAY $2,500 TO FIX THE PROBLEM! *TR
