Consumer Description

ILL JUST BE ADDED TO THE LIST IM SURE, BUT MY TRANSMISSION SUFFERED A TOTAL FAILURE DUE TO THE RADIATOR ISSUE THAT LEAKS INTO THE TRANSMISSION. APPARENTLY ITS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM AND NISSAN LOOKED THE OTHER WAY. COST ME $4000 TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION AND REPLACE THE RADIATOR. IM AT A LOSS FOR WORDS THE WAY NISSAN HANDLED THIS. BUT NISSAN COULD HAVE BEEN IN MUCH MORE TROUBLE. MY WIFE GOT STUCK WITH THE TRUCK ON THE PARKWAY ON THE SIDE WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHIZZING PAST HER AT OVER 55 MPH WITH MY 10 YEAR OLD SON AND 8 YEAR OLD SON IN THE TRUCK. SHE CALLED ME IN PANIC. NOBODY THINKS THAT SUCH A FAILURE COULD POSE SUCH A DANGER LIKE THIS!! WHATS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR A RECALL? A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT???? LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK MOVING SLOWLY OFF THE PARKWAY AND MAKE IT HOME. HOW THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS IS BEYOND ME.....NEVER AGAIN BUYING ANOTHER NISSAN!!
