I bought this truck from a dealership, with 118,500 miles in, and i only drove it 1,500 miles and transmission broke, i never the warranty for the truck, and the repairs came out $4,237 dollars what can i do in this situation. please let me know. thanks.
Lost power while driving, had it checked by transmission shop and turns out there is a defect in oem radiator causes contamination of transmission fluid and engine coolant. was required to spend over $6000 out of pocket to fix.
Transmission started slipping and then lost reverse.and finally just kept slipping and wouldn't move more than a few hundred feet ,and would turn off and wouldn't restart until the transmission cooled off,and when it restarted the idle or tachometer would jump into the red line area even though the truck wouldn't drive past 20 mph. coasting on the freeway i would pull to the side and have cars drive around mr while trying to push it off the shoulder,looking for an off ramp to go to the nearest transmission shop i could find..secondly i had to replace my fuel sender and or. my fuel pump i t went out when i was driving down the freeway thinking i had a half a tank when actually it was on empty ..so i really never knew how much fuel it had until i got it fixed at sam's automotive in beaumont ca .92223 and sam has returned and sold the business so i have no receipt only remembering it costs between 500 and 100 dollars .. and yes i checked and it too had a recall and i was never notified
Transmission started slipping and then lost reverse and finally just kept spinning and wouldn't move more than a few hundred feet and would turn off and not restart till transmission cooled off ..and when it would restart the idle or tachometer would accelerate into the red line area while coasting on the freeway heading to nearest transmission shop i could find off freeway
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan frontier. while driving approximately 30 mph, the rpms increased to 4,000. when the vehicle was placed into reverse, the gear went into neutral. when the vehicle was shifted into drive, it went into low gear without warning. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the radiator fluid leaked into the transmission, and the radiator and the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 129,000.
I was driving on the highway and suddenly lost power and almost crashed. mechanic said the radiator and transmission failed. radiator fluid mixed into transmission fluid. vehicle only has 85000 miles on it.
Vehicle will not change gears and is sluggish. the display on the speedometer does not show the position of the transmission. i have spent over 600 dollars to find out that the transmission control module is bad and that there was a recall to fix coolent leaking into the transmission fluid. my vehicle is still broken because of the part cost 1100 usd and the repair. total bill is 1600 usd. this was a known problem and should be fixed without me paying a dime. my vehicle was in motion. now it won't even get up to speed the transmission sounds as if it is stuck in a gear. very erratic. my cruise control also just blinks and when the mechanic tested the codes it gave a network failure code
In april 2019 i was driving my 2006 nissan frontier truck 4x4 v6 . suddenly i notice a lack of power and then it did not move any where. i call a tow truck services to take it to the mechanics. the was the transmission control module failure , do to the radiator coil leaking. we put a new radiator and bought a transmission control module that cost $964.00 dollars. th3 mechanic installed it and recommended to take it to nissan for programming. after 3 times trying nissan sad that the control module was defective. this issue has cost me almost $2,500.00 in towing and labor back and forward and still my transmission is not working. i am now in the process of buying a transmission. this is not fair how a company that knows that product is defective wait until the warranty is over and don't fix the problem prior. they are know for their ctv problems with transmission and with the radiator coil being defective. this companies operating in our country are abusing the consumers with no body doing justice. i hope this hope someone or at least bring awareness to our government agencies that ...
The problem stems from an acknowledged defect inside the radiator assembly. the metal tubes that separate engine coolant from transmission fluid crack over time. coolant and transmission fluid mixes through these cracks and subsequently cause transmission failure. vehicle was in motion when this happened. vehicle was stopped at a traffic light but when the light turned green vehicle had no power when trying to accelerate. vehicle was towed to the nearest dealer where they told me the problem was with the transmission as described above. this problem has been document many times before and nissan is aware of it. a manufacture recall has never been issued. repairs have been allowed under warranty but this vehicle is past the time limit and number of miles defined in the warranty and nissan will not take any responsibility for this defect.
Coolant leaked from radiator into transmission through faulty cooling lines.. result was sudden loss of power while accelerating onto highway. very costly repair bill ($4600.00). had to replace radiator and do a complete rebuild of transmission.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan frontier. the contact stated that the radiator cracked, which caused transmission fluid and radiator coolant to mix together. the failure eventually caused the transmission to fail. the vehicle was towed to banister nissan of norfolk (1250 n military hwy, norfolk, va 23502) where it was determined that the vehicle was not included in any recalls and the radiator and transmission needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was not contacted. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 99,967.
On 11/10/2018 while driving on the freeway with no warning light my 2006 nissan starts to lose power!!! i was able to get off the freeway and pull into a gas station to call aaa to tow it to a mechanic. the mechanic told me the transmission has coolent in it and the transmission will need i be rebuilt or replaced with a rebuilt transmission. he said there was a crack in the coolent hose that was a manufacture defect. i never got any warning light until after the transmission failed.

Apparently coolant mixed into my transmission and it is now slipping. and repair will cost $4500.00 or more. i heard a slight clunk when driving then it started to slip.
