I have a 2006 Nissan Frontier. While driving down the road the truck shudders and shakes and cannot shift into gear. I had no pick up while driving on the interstate and had cars speeding by me at 75mph while I was barely able to drive the truck. The truck would drive fine and than this would happen out of nowhere. I took it to aamco and found out I had water in the transmission due to a leak in the radiator. I had to pay $2500. 00 to have my transmission rebuilt and a new radiator installed. I feel this should be a recall on Nissans part because it was a faulty radiator that caused the problem and could have caused a severe accident. I have heard of alot of complaints regarding this same problem but Nissan refuses to due a recall. I have the same fuel gauge problem that was just recalled and I ran out of gas because of it. I feel that this needs to be investigated before someone is killed in an accident because their transmission just stops working while driving on the interstate.
Purchased a used 2006 Nissan Frontier 9/18/09 from fresno Acura. Approx 2 weeks later I drop it back off at the dealership, due to the heater not working & a shudder in the transmission. Findings radiator/transmission oil cooler ruptured and fluid leaked into transmission & vice versa, I found out that transmission fluid was going into radiator. Dealership would not honor transmission warranty due to the radiator not being under warranty and transmission contamination was effected by radiator . This is so wrong, unjust and corrupt. Possible damage ranges from $3000-$6000. A consumer should not be responsible to pay this for this kind of damage that was affected by a defective part that should of been recalled or corrected. A person pays approx $23,000 for a new vehicle and should not have to dish out another 3 -4 thousand dollars on a 3 yr old vehicle . This is bad business and will give the Nissan a very bad reputation.
