Consumer Description

SUV STARTED VIBRATING BADLY WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS NEAR 60 MPH. THIS HAPPENED FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS. TOOK VEHICLE TO SHEEHY NISSAN IN ANNAPOLIS, MD TO HAVE INVESTIGATED AND WAS TOLD COOLANT HAD MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID DUE TO A FAILURE IN RADIATOR. I WAS TOLD THAT A COSTLY REPAIR IS MY ONLY OPTION, AND THAT WHILE I CAN DRIVE IT NOW, A TOTAL FAILURE AT "SOME POINT LATER" IS IMMINENT. HOW CAN I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ON THE STREETS KNOWING THAT AT ANY MOMENT THE TRANSMISSION COULD FAIL??/ *TR
