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 protect consumers. Thanks.
