Consumer Description

STARTED HAVING OVER HEATING ISSUES IN 8/2012. EVENTUALLY HAD RADIATOR COMPLETELY REPLACED IN 2/14. HAD TRANSMISSION FLUSHED AROUND SAME TIME. ON 3/26/14, I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65MPH WHEN I LOST USE OF THE TRANSMISSION, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL, BARELY AVOIDING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. TODAY FOUND OUT THERE IS A DEFECT WITH NISSAN RADIATORS OVER HEATING AND CAUSING COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION, DETERIORATING THE GEARS OVER TIME. SPENT AROUND $1,000.00 GETTING THE RADIATOR REPLACED UNAWARE OF THIS FACTORY DEFECT. NOW I AM WITHOUT A FUNCTIONING VEHICLE AND I THINK LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. *TR
