Automatic Transmission Cooler Problems of Nissan Armada

There was a sudden catastrophic failure in the cooling system that allowed fluids to mix with the transmission. The transmission had to be completely rebuilt along with components with the radiator/cooling system. We were at a stop waiting to turn left, when the signal turned green, the vehicle's engine revved as we tried to accelerate but the vehicle would not move. Called aaa as we needed to be towed to an auto shop. The auto shop explained that it was a catastrophic failure in the cooling system and transmission. Repair costs totaled $6000!!.

Automatic transmission cooling line failure. Our automatic transmission cooling line sprung a leak without warning and no ignition lights turning on. The end result is that the transmission needs to be replaced. After doing some research online, I found out that this is a common problem with Nissan Armada 2006 transmission cooling lines. The line had a weak spot in it that split open and sprayed all the atf out. This occurred while driving back through our town at about 35 mph.

While under mild acceleration (from approx. 30mph to 40mph) the transmission coolant line failed, spraying transmission fluid throughout the engine compartment, and causing 1 or more drive belts to slip from the tension system, and wrap themselves around the cooling fan shaft. This resulted in an immediate reduction in power to the vehicles driveshaft,, creating a dangerous driving condition. The friction from the belts binding began to heat up the rubber, and could have caused a fire, which, with transmission fluid sprayed throughout the engine compartment could have immediately engulfed the engine in flame. Vehicle was stopped immediately and towed to a dealership, who acknowledged the transmission coolant line as the point of failure.
