ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION. DRIVING CONDITION RESULTED IN SUDDEN HARD DOWNSHIFTS AND EVENTUALLY LED TO A NO START CONDITION. UPON INSPECTING, THE AT CONTROL FUSE WAS BLOWN AND WHEN REPLACED THE VEHICLE CRANKED, ONLY TO HAVE THE FUSE BLOW AGAIN. THE TRANSMISSION, LIKELY NEED TO BE REPLACED TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. THIS ISSUE IS KNOWN AND UNFORTUNATELY, LITTLE HAS BEEN DONE TO HOLD THE MANUFACTURER ACCOUNTABLE.

POWER TRAIN
CAR STUTTERS WHEN I ACCELERATE WHIL GOING UPHILL BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MILES AN HOUR. DEALERSHIP MECHANIC REPORTED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD BEEN CONTAMINATED BY THE RADIATOR FAILING. THERE ARE 102,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP IS CHARGING $6,100 TO REPAIR A TRUCK THAT IS WORTH LESS THAN THAT. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT AS I AM 2,000 MILES PAST THE WARRANTY, THEY WILL NOT DISCOUNT THE PRICE OF REPAIR, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE. NEITHER THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM OR THE DEALER PERFORMING MAINTENANCE FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS HAS EVER MENTIONED OR CHECKED FOR THE ISSUE.

ENGINE
THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION COOLER THAT IS INTERNAL TO THE RADIATOR LEAKED COOLANT INTO THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CAUSING EXCESSIVE FRICTION DESTROYING IT. NISSAN KNEW OF THE PROBLEM YET FAILED TO WARN OWNERS THAT THEY COULD AVOID A $6000 REPAIR BY REPLACING THE KNOW DEFECTIVE RADIATOR FOR LESS THAN $1000. NISSAN OFFERED A PRORATED WARRANTY EXTENSION OF UP TO 10 YRS/90,000 MILES (MINE IS A 2007 WITH 88934 SO NOT COVERED) BUT ONLY COVERING A SMALL PORTION OF THE COST TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN SHOULD BE PUNISHED FOR FAILING TO WARN OWNERS THEY COULD HAVE AVOIDED THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. A MANUFACTURE SHOULD HAVE A DUTY TO WARN CONSUMERS IN THIS CASE. THIS COULD CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE FAILURE OCCURRED IN A CRITICAL SITUATION. IN MY CASE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING ON STATE HIGHWAY 460 NEAR NARROWS, VIRGINIA.
