| 2005 | POWER TRAIN | TRANSMISSION DID NOT ENGAGE WHEN PULLING CAR OUT OF MY GARAGE. I PUT IT IN PARK AND TRIED AGAIN BUT THE CAR WOULD STILL NOT ENGAGE. AFTER A THIRD ATTEMPT THE CAR BEGAN TO MOVE BUT THE TRANSMISSION WAS ACTING VERY ODD AND DISENGAGING, ALMOST LIKE I WAS COASTING. THIS WAS VERY SCARY FOR ME AND MY THREE CHILDREN. MY HUSBAND INSPECTED THE CAR AND FOUND THAT RADIATOR FLUID CONTAINED A WHITE GREASY SUBSTANCE. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR AT MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS INDEED CROSS CONTAMINATION DUE TO A CRACKED TRANSMISSION COOLING LINE MIXING WITH THE RADIATOR FLUID. THIS WILL END UP COSTING ME $2,500.00 TO FIX. IT APPEARS THAT I AM NOT THE FIRST TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM, AND BY THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE FILING COMPLAINTS IT SEEMS LIKE A DEFECT TO ME AND NOT MERE COINCIDENCE. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. NISSAN NEEDS TO BE HELD LIABLE FOR THE MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE STUCK IN THIS UNFORTUNATE SITUATION. *TR |
