Takata recall- my transmission fluid is mixing and going into my coolant system. the vehicle was overheating and my gages in the car was not indicating to me that there was a problem. all i noticed was a thick chalky film in the radiator.
The timing chain and tensioner system is making noise. nissan is aware of this reoccurring issue and has sent out an tsb to dealers that does not fix the issue. there really should be a recall since they have known about the problem since 2004 or earlier. i am lucky this did not fail on my recent long trips on the highway. it could have been deadly.

The defect in the radiator caused the antifreeze and oil to mix. it then mixed with the transmission fluid. that was fixed by a repair shop. now the transmission has slipped out because of the mixture of the three fluids. *tr
