Consumer Description

WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION LINES AND THUS INTO THE TRANSMISSION. SIMPLE, INEXPENSIVE FIX TO REPLACE THE FAULTY RADIATOR WAS NOT COMMUNICATED TO ME AND NOW IT'S TOO LATE TO SAVE THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN GOT AWAY WITH MURDER AND CAUSED THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE MONEY THAT THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR DEFECTIVE PARTS. THESE PARTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AS THEY CAUSE A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING. HAVING YOUR TRANSMISSION FAIL ON YOU WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. BUT BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE ACTUALLY DIED FROM IT A RECALL WAS NOT REQUIRED.
