Transmission needs to be rebuilt due to manufacturing defect after only 64,000 miles. Radiator fluid has leaked into the transmission oil which is a manufacturer defect. Quoted $4200 in repairs-they will need to re-manuacture the transmission and replace the at valve. I reached out to Nissan for assistance in the matter since I am just outside of the 5 yr 75,000 mile extended warranty (5 months over 5 yrs). They advised this is not something they will help with. When I asked if this is a normal occurrence for Nissan transmissions to need to be repaired at 64k the regional customer service manager simply stated he is not a mechanic. At 40mph, the vehicle jumped out of gear while driving. I had no power and needed to pull over. This put my property and well being in severe danger. Luckily I was able to get over without incident, but this may not be the case for someone else. This is clearly a manufacturing flaw and needs to be handled responsibly by Nissan. Extend my warranty and fix the transmission free of charge.
