Consumer Description

ON MY WAY TO WORK IN EARLY MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC MY TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY LOCKED UP IN A LOWER GEAR. THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND I WAS FORCED TO SLOW TO ABOUT 15 MPH. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT NO ONE STRUCK ME FROM THE REAR AS TRAFFIC WAS VERY HEAVY. NISSAN STATED THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. I HAVE BEEN QUOTED $7,050.00 BY LANDER'S NISSAN IN SOUTHAVEN, MS TO REPAIR.
