NHTSA Complaint #10649692 — 2006 NISSAN XTERRA

VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED CHANGING GEARS WHILE ON A MAIN ROAD WHERE SPEED LIMIT IS 55 MPH. TURNED ONTO A SMALLER COUNTRY ROAD, COULD NOT ACCELERATE MORE THAN 20 MPH, AND SLOWLY DESCENDED FROM THERE UNTIL FINALLY COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. CRACKED RADIATOR CAUSED COOLANT LEAK INTO TRANSMISSION FLUID CAUSING MANY SYSTEMS TO FAIL. IN TURN, HAD TO REPLACE RADIATOR AND COMPLETELY REBUILD AND FLUSH TRANSMISSION SEVERAL TIMES ($4400 EXPENSE). HAD I BEEN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH MORE SERIOUS OUT COME. *TR
