I parked my truck and later tried to start it and it wouldn't. Had it towed to one repair shop ($45.00 plus $75.00 to the repair shop) and they referred me to a transmission mechanic. So i had it towed there ($45.00) and he said that radiator fluid had leaked into the transmission. I've had the truck about 2 weeks before this happened. The estimate on repairs is $3,500. Watch and see what god makes happen! *tr

The car was brought in for fluid changes since the car was nearly at the 100,000 mile mark. They explained the radiator had failed and caused the transmission to be contaminated. This car was brought in several times over the years and they never disclosed that this known problem can ruin a transmission.

The check engine light came on while starting the truck. It was place on the diagnostic machine and the result was that a sensor in the gas tank was not working. I received a recall notice one week after the warranty had expired. The notice stated that the warranty would take care of the problem. I emailed nissan to complain and never heard from them. *tr

My transmission failed due to radiator coolant mixing with my transmission fluid. Nissan knew about the factory defect but failed to notify the consumers or replace the transmissions. Nissan was involved in a class action lawsuit and increased the transmission warranty to 10 years or 100k miles. But they required the customer to provide a co-pay of $3000.00 (which is ridiculous). However i noticed symptoms of my…
