NHTSA Complaint #10560635 — 2007 NISSAN XTERRA

OUR 2007 NISSAN XTERRA, PURCHASED BRAND NEW, BEGAN TO OVERHEAT. UPON CHECKING THE FLUIDS I NOTICED THE COOLANT LEVEL WAS DANGEROUSLY LOW. I WAS CERTAINLY PUZZLED WHERE THE FLUID HAD GONE BECAUSE THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY VISIBLE LEAKS OR ANY WARNING LIGHTS OR ANY OTHER SYMPTOM TO DRAW MY ATTENTION. I BEGAN TO LOOK INTO THE SITUATION BECAUSE I WAS PUZZLED AND QUICKLY LEARNED OF THE MASSIVE NUMBER OF NISSAN OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. SADLY, I WAS NOW ONE OF THOSE VICTIMS. YES, THE COOLANT HAD CONTAMINATED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID VIA THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION COOLER. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT I AM SURE YOU ARE AWARE OF BUT I WAS UNAWARE OF. I DO NOT RECALL ANY CONTACT NOTIFYING ME OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND THE POTENTIAL DAMAGE. I HAD NO REASON FOR WORRY BECAUSE MY VEHICLE HAD NOT GIVEN ME ANY TROUBLE SIGNS AND THE FLUIDS HAVE ALWAYS CHECKED NORMAL DURING NORMAL SERVICE CHECKS. LIKE MANY, I CANNOT AFFORD TO SHELL OUT THE DOLLARS THAT THIS NEGLIGENCE ON NISSAN CORPORATION BEHALF HAS CAUSED. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO PLEASE FORCE NISSAN CORPORATION TO ISSUE A RECALL REQUIRING THEM TO MAKE ALL THE APPROPRIATE REPAIRS FOR THESE DAMAGES. PLEASE, DO NOT PUT A CAP ON THE MILEAGE OR SET THE MILEAGE RELATIVELY HIGH IF YOU MUST. MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 89,000 MILES AND ONLY GAVE SIGNS OF DAMAGE LESS THAN 500 MILES AGO. *TR
