Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MOUNTAIN IN TENNESSEE ON A FAMILY VACATION, WHEN MY TRANSMISSION FAILED BECAUSE THE COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. IN ORDER TO GET TO A SAFE LOCATION I HAD TO DRIVE IN REVERSE TO A DRIVEWAY WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT WITH A YOUNG CHILD AND MY FIANCE IN THE CAR. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I REALIZED THAT NISSAN HAS OVER 500 COMPLAINT ON THE SAME ISSUE AND IT WAS NEVER RESOLVED. I PAID 4800 DOLLARS OUT OF POCKET IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. *TR
