NHTSA Complaint #10721914 — 2005 NISSAN XTERRA

CONFIRMED DIAGNOSES OF VEHICLE DAMAGE OF RADIATOR ASSEMBLY & TRANSMISSION ARE DUE TO NISSAN'S DEFECTIVE RADIATOR ASSEMBLY WHICH ALLOWS COOLANT TO PASS THROUGH INTO THE TRANSMISSION RENDERING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO OPERATE. NISSAN IS UNWILLING TO ASSIST WITH THE REPAIRS OF DAMAGE CAUSED BY DEFECT. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, A DAMAGED TRANSMISSION DUE TO COOLANT ENTERING IT HAS RENDERED THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE, A KNOWN DEFECT, YET THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT EVEN COMPROMISE TO ASSIST WITH REPAIR OF THIS DEFECT. A MANUFACTURER SHOULD ASSIST WITH REPAIR OF ANY DEFECT THAT RENDERS THE EQUIPMENT UNSAFE TO OPERATE - NO MATTER WHEN THAT DEFECT DECIDES TO SHOW UP! NISSAN SHOULD ASSIST IN ALL REPAIRS DUE TO THEIR KNOWN DEFECT TO LET THE CONSUMER OPERATE THE VEHICLE IN SAFETY.
