Grinding noise - requested help from dealer but no avail. I am wandering why the department of justice is not stepping in especially that the problems has escalated to radiator leakage and destroying transmissions and Nissan bribed our lawyers in the class action. How about timing chains for gods sake. We're more hurt by Nissan than vw. .
On Sunday, August 30, 2015, while driving from maryland to virginia, on a speed limit of 55, vehicle slowed down and transmission wont engaged while accelerating the gas pedal, rpm was going to the higher number/red zone and car will not move faster up to the noted speed limit. When we stop at the light, and the lights turn green, the vehicle will not move and make loud noise and rpm going higher to the red zone numbers. This caused traffic behind us back up because of speed too slow in a 55-mile per hour speed. I was afraid it could have caused an accident. This happened several times during a 200-mile travel from maryland to virginia. I read that there were several complaints about Nissan vehicles about radirator water leaks to the transmission and causing it to malfunction. According the price transmission experts, this is the same problem and the cost to repair will cost $4,400. 00 I would like to have Nissan pay the repair cost.
I was driving 15 mph on the local street and the slip sensor light and vehicle dynamic control sensor light came on, then the transmission started to make a grinding noise. That's it, finished at 49k miles doa. Vehicle was always garaged. Radiator cracked leaked coolant into transmission nice truck, sorry to have to let Nissan go. Truck was like new.
The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Xterra. The contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, a grinding noise emitted from the front end as the transmission overheated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the radiator fluid penetrated the transmission causing the transmission to fail. The transmission was not replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 198,400.
Started over a year ago that while driving the motor would just stop running, would have to coast to the side if the road without power steering or brakes. I took it into the shop and they couldn't find out the problem. Now that my transmission is starting to shake and make noise, I took it to the dealer. They told me that my radiator is making into the transmission and that makes the motor quit and loss of power. I am informed that I need a new radiator and transmission. Looking online I see that there are a lot of people with this sane safety issue and that there is no recall. I think that there should be a recall because it's safety alone! I almost hit a car and a pedestrian while trying to steer off the road and stop. Please help with a recall!! thanks josh.
