Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION FAILURE DIAGNOSED BY REPAIR SHOP AS CAUSED BY RADIATOR COOLANT CONTAMINATION INTO THE TRANSMISSION. TOTAL REBUILD OF TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF 3,980.00. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2005 AND WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BY NISSAN. I HAVE LEARNED THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN AWARE OF FOR YEARS. MY VEHICLE HAS 129,000 MILES AND MORE THAN 10 YEARS SINCE PURCHASE. I FIND THIS MATTER DISTURBING THAT OWNERS ARE NOW FACING SUCH AN AVOIDABLE COST FOR REPAIR AND THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
