Transmission Slip Out Of Gear Problems of Nissan Titan

Sometimes when starting from stop, the transmission will not shift out of first gear. I have to manually shift into neutral and then back into drive while the truck is in motion. This is dangerous when pulling out into traffic because after 20-25 mph, the truck stops accelerating until I manually put the truck into drive. It usually takes me a second or two to notice that I'm no longer accelerating and to fix the problem by manually shifting into drive. Meanwhile traffic is rapidly approaching. The oncoming traffic has to slow down. Sometimes the approaching traffic will honk because I'm an unexpected obstacle to them. I've talked to several other Nissan Titan owners who have had similar experiences. It's difficult for me to judge the frequency, but I'd guess this occurs several times per month. This had occurred since I've owned the vehicle. I've taken the vehicle to the local dealer several times they have been unable to resolve the problem.

While driving at 45 mph transmission drops out of gear and truck engine nearly red lines. Was unable to get completely off the road. After sitting for a few minutes was able to move the truck a few feet to get completely out of traffic. Had vehicle towed to Nissan dealer where they informed me that I had an intermix of coolant and transmission fluid. They stated that this was a common problem that they see and that Nissan extended the warrantee to 80,000 miles but I am not covered. They quoted me $8700 to repair. Spoke to a few transmission shops and they all indicated that they encourage their Nissan clients to bypass the internal tranny cooler in the radiator with an external on when they reach 80,000 miles. They said the cost to do this is less than $300. 00. Nissan knows of this and even lost a class action suit but has never informed anyone. For a $300 fix I am now out a truck and or $9000. 00!!!! way to go Nissan!!.
