Consumer Description

WHEN MY XTERRA WAS IDLING IN PARK OR AT A STOP LIGHT, THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING. ALSO WHILE ACCELERATING, THE CAR WAS SHUDDERING WHEN CHANGING GEARS. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR GARAGE, I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS PARTICULAR MODEL NISSAN IS NOTORIOUS FOR FAULTY RADIATORS BEING INSTALLED WHICH CAUSED COOLANT FLUID TO LEAK / MIX IN WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID, THUS DAMAGING THE TRANSMISSION, POSSIBLY TO THE POINT OF HAVING TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE RADIATOR. MY CAR IS SITTING AT A GARAGE NOW WAITING FOR THE RADIATOR TO BE REPLACED AND TRY TO RUN THE VEHICLE TO SEE HOW BAD THE DAMAGE NOW IS TO THE TRANSMISSION. *TR
