Consumer Description

ENJOYING OUR PATHFINDER ONE AFTERNOON AND WENT TO PASS A CAR AND IT WOULD NOT KICK INOT PASSING GEAR. WHEN WE STOPPED I COULD SMELL THAT IT WAS HOT, BUT COULD NOT FIND A LEAK. AFTER LETTING IT COOL, I CHECKED THE COOLANT LEVEL AND FOUND THAT GREY FROTH IN THE RADIATOR. A QUICK CHECK ON THE INTERNET LEAD ME TO ME WORST FEAR. I AM STILL IN THE PROCESS OF FLUSHING RADIATOR AND GETTING QUOTES. LOCAL AAMCO GUY SAID THAT TRANSMISSION IS DOOMED, AND THEY SEE A LOT OF THESE. $4,000 - 4500 TO REBUILD. SO MUCH MONEY FOR SUCH AN EASY REPAIR HAD I KNOWN BEFORE THE RADIATOR GAVE UP. NO MORE NISSANS FOR THIS FAMILY!
