Automatic transmission slipped when changing gears when vehicle was cold. Took it in for service and was told water was in the transmission caused by a leak in the radiator. Problem was a known issue with the Nissan design and since it was past the 80k mile warranty it was not covered. Radiator and transmission both would have to be repaired or replaced.

3/10/08-transmission is slipping and clunking, took to dealer-turn away, 59994 miles. 4/21/08-62,597 miles returned to dealer and again was told no problem. That day took to local mechanic and he drained transmission fluid. Resembled a milk shake and he diagnosed the problem as a broken transmission line in the radiator. Returned to dealership and they once again turned me away refusing to acknowledge the problem. Local mechanic flushed transmission and repaired radiator. Transmission still slips and clunks and is presently parked. (not drivable) received a letter from Nissan admitting to this very problem and they still rejected my request for repairs. Believe engine may have been damaged as a result of this problem. Burns oil and stalls as well. Made many requests to national consumer affairs and totally rejected my concerns.
