Consumer Description

WHILE GETTING ON THE FREEWAY, I ACCELERATED TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC BUT WAS UNABLE TO GAIN SPEED SO I GOT OFF ON THE FIRST EXIT RAMP. HAD PLENTY OF ENGINE POWER BUT LOST TORQUE. FIRST THOUGHT, MUST BE THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING. GOT HOME AND CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL AND IT WAS FINE, THE OIL DID NOT LOOK LIKE TRANSMISSION OIL, IT WAS DISCOLORED AND HAD A DIFFERENT FEEL TO IT. WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. COOLANT HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. DID MY RESEARCH AND FOUND THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. AS FOR THE WARRANTY,BY WHICH I STILL HAVE TO PAY OVER $2500, I BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL ON THE 05 FRONTIER, PATHFINDER, AND PAID FOR THE WHOLE REPAIR FOR THEIR USE OF WHAT I CALL DEFECTIVE PARTS. ( RADIATOR & TRANSMISSION COOLER ). *TR
