NHTSA Complaint #10914796 — 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK WITH OUT NOTICE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED, AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE, LEAVING ME WITH OUT CONTROLL OF THE PICKUP, WHILE I WAS IN MOTION , THE ENGINE RACED BUT LOST CONTROLL OF THE DRIVE, WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS. I FOUND OUT AFTER THE FACT, THAT NISSAN HAD BEEN IN A CLASS ACTION LAW SUITE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT ONLY REMEDY THE PROBLEM WHEN YOU BREAK DOWN OUT OF CONTROLL. I WAS TOLD 3 MONTHS BEFORE I BOUGHT IT , NISSAN SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED SOMEONE, AND THE DEALER PUSHED IT OFF TILL THE 6 MON. WARRANTY RAN OUT FROM HALDEMAN FORD OF ALLENTOWN. THE NISSAN DEALER AT ROTHROCK NISSAN IN ALLENTOWN SAID IT WAS A NISSAN PROBLEM, BUT NISSAN CORP REFUSED TO HELP BECAUSE THE PICKUP BROKE DOWN A FEW MONTHS TOO LATE AFTER A 10 YEAR PERIOD OF FIXING THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS..THE TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES AT THE RADIATOR LEEK FLUID BACK INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND THEN WIDTH NO WARNING FAILS TO ENGAGE WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING.
