Complete transmission failure including engine radiator due the Nissan design.
Transmission failure.
We are a auto dealer in ohio. After purchasing a 2007 Nissan Frontier crew cab 4x4 at the auction, we did a post sale inspection and it passed. We brought it home and did a 60 point inspection, outside of an airbag light issue, it passed once again. One week later, the transmission is shot. After a transmission shop called me today and said $3000 to replace transmission, I found out this is a common problem that Nissan will not be accountable for. I am looking for any and all assistance. This quote sums it up well, �simply extending the warranty coverage for the radiator without warning consumers of the consequences to the transmission only makes sense if Nissan is looking to cut their losses. Why didn't Nissan warn consumers that the transmission could fail quickly as a result of a cracked cooler tube? how many consumers must suffer transmission failures in busy intersections and on busy, congested highways before Nissan does the ethical thing and issues a safety recall?�.
While on vacation transmission failure due to coolant mixing with transmission faulty radiator taken to mt holly Nissan ASAP while driving it was a safety hazzard.
My name is mrs. Veronica a. Jackson. On 5. 29. 2019, my vehicle's transmission failed as a result of a manufacturing defect. I took my vehicle to aamco and had it repaired at a cost of $5,258. 45 . While my vehicle was being repaired I discovered there are numerous tax paying consumers who have experienced the same mechanical failure. I, also, discovered despite knowing about this problem, Nissan has refused and/or failed to recall these vehicles or notify the owners about these potential dangers. Had the corporation notified the owners the major transmission. Failure could have been averted with a simple procedure at a cost of $700- $1,000 . Instead the company kept silent about the issues. As a result american consumers have been footing the bill for Nissan's defect, to the toon of thousands of dollars. I contacted Nissan's ceo seekng reimbursement for the $5,258. 45 out of pocket expenses it took to fix Nissan's manufacturing defect. I was referred to the consumer affairs department by ceo hiroto sarkawa. Consumer agent pamela id # 7319615 initially denied my request verbally alleging that because I took my vehicle to an outside mechanic I am not eligible for reimreimbursement. However in writing she claimed Nissan was unable to offer financial assistance with the repair of the transmission due to the vehicle being outside of your new vehicle limited warranty.
Transmission failure due to radiator coolant leaking into transmission. Driving condition resulted in sudden hard downshifts and eventually led to a no start condition. Upon inspecting, the at control fuse was blown and when replaced the vehicle cranked, only to have the fuse blow again. The transmission, likely need to be replaced to remedy the issue. This issue is known and unfortunately, little has been done to hold the manufacturer accountable.
Automatic transmission failure due to radiator failure and coolant contamination.
Transmission contaminated with engine coolant @ 81,000 miles. Catastrophic transmission failure, engine overheated and the vehicle quit moving. Occurred while in motion on a rural road and vehicle had to be towed home.
Transmission total failure. Radiator line broke and mixed into transmission, destroying it. Occurred while driving up a hill.
"takata recall" transmission failure due to water damage of transmission valve body due to coolant leakage from radiator into transmission. I began to notice a vibration around 1200 to 1600 rpm that would smooth out at higher rpms.
The transmission failed due to a known design flaw that allows collar from the radiator to leak into the transmission causing it to fail. On my vehicle it failed at 100,800 miles, just barely outside warranty. It will no longer climb hills and has great difficulty gaining initial momentum on flatter roads. It doesn't stall, just sits in one place, rolls backward instead of forward, or excelerates like a 3 toed sloth. The first time it happened we were driving up steep driveway and it just stopped moving. The second time we were on a less steep busy roadway and we're forced to roll backwards in traffic until we could find a place to turn around. Issue had not been specifically noticeable prior to this.
With no prior warning, transmission failed on the vehicle. This has now happened twice, in November 2013 and December 2015. In both cases, vehicle lost all transmission of power to the drive train. In both cases, transmission fluid could be smelled when the hood is opened afterwards. Manual clutch continues to function perfectly, and guage shows proper rpms, but the vehicle will not move. In both cases, vehicle was moving in a straight line, once at freeway speeds of about 65 mph and once in a residential neighborhood at approximately 25 mph. Because of the sudden loss of power, especially on the freeway, the problem caused a sudden slowing which affected the traffic around me.
Transmission failure due to coolant mixing had to have the valve body replaced along with the tcmand new radiator. Vehicle cut completely off and would no longer start. After failing to excelerate past 40mph.
My transmission failed to water in transmission due to faulty radiator because of recall I was never informed of untill I researched it after it happened 10 /17/15 it stayed in high gear on hwy 98 I almost got hit 2 or 3 times I had it towed to advanced trans. Spanish fort , al invoice #10892 water in trans. 3996. 89 for rpairs.
Was driving 2007 Nissan Frontier when 4wd light came on and check engine light came on. Slowed down and came to a stop. When I tried to accelerate, there was no response. Apparently, transmission is ruined due to a known defect with the radiator where coolant leaks into the transmission. Nissan never issued a recall tor the radiator assembly, just extended the warranty to 100,000 miles, leaving the consumer responsible to fixed catastrophic transmission failure. Cost $6500.
Transmission cooler failed. . . Transmission oil leaked into the engine coolant and engine coolant leaked into the transmission. This caused the engine to overheat and the transmission to fail. Vehicle stalled on major roadway without prior warning of any problems.
No power to wheels. . . Transmission coolant and engine coolant mix together due to malfunction in radiator causing catastrophic transmission failure. Cost to replace radiator and transmission is $5200. . . Research on this matter indicates that Nissan corp. Knew of the problem and that a class action law suit coving this defect has been approved, but, the deadline to apply has passed. . . My truck just broke and it is now too late to register for the approved class action law suit. How can I get reembursed like so many others have???.
An internal crack on the oil cooler tube caused internal leakage of engine coolant into the transmission causing transmission failure.
Radiator crack caused transmission failure we have 81,000 miles on the truck so they want us to have to pay 2500+ dollars for a 6 year old truck for which we had a 100,000 mile warranty/72 month warranty and on which we paid hundreds of dollars for every major mileage inspection and service. Nothing was done to tell us or warn us of this. People will also lose resale value because no one will want to buy the vehicles. We should be compensated for the repairs and the loss of resale potential.
While I have not yet had a failure, or crash I have been notified by Nissan that my truck's transmission may fail suddenly making the vehicle inoperable. This is a concern as I occasionally use the vehicle for commuting to work on the interstate highway system and fear I would be subject to injury or death if I have a sudden failure and there is no place to pull safely off the road. I also use the truck to go deep into the maine wilderness to fish and hunt and fear if the transmission fails, I could be stranded dozens of miles from the nearest help, putting my health and safety at risk.
Known issues with faulty radiators is causing it to fail and mix antifreeze into the transmission causing the transmission to fail. . The result is a ~$9200 bill from your dealership for a new transmission and radiator. . Nissan absolutely refused to take ownership of this issue making me the owner of my 4th Nissan truck to pay. .
My transmission failed due to radiator coolant mixing with my transmission fluid. Nissan knew about the factory defect but failed to notify the consumers or replace the transmissions. Nissan was involved in a class action lawsuit and increased the transmission warranty to 10 years or 100k miles. But they required the customer to provide a CO-pay of $3000. 00 (which is ridiculous). However I noticed symptoms of my truck shuttering and thumping into gear around 95,000 miles, my vehicle had appx110,000 miles on it when the Nissan dealership officially diagnosed the problem. Furthermore, mileage should not matter because this is a "factory defect". I bought my Nissan Frontier new in 2007 and it was only a matter of time before the transmission failed due to the "factory defect". Please inform me if there is any recourse/recall for this situation. Thank you.
