Description of the problem | Driving on interstate at 70 mph, when car suddenly reduced to 50 mhp in jackson ms, almost got hit from behind by 18 wheeler. Took it to the dealer in meridian ms and they stated the cause of the transmission failure and damage are due to boiling coolant. The boiling coolant is caused by the coolant system that can not cool the coolant liquid fast enough. This only happens if you are driving on highway for a very long hours. Dealer suggested replacing the cvt transmission ($4000), nissan advices to add a second external cvt oil cooler kit ($900) to prevent coolant liquid from boiling and to protect the transmission. I had extended warranty, they will not cover this issue. It's a known issue and it's nissan's design flaw. Warranty companies know about it and they will not cover for this particular issue despite of their contract says transmission is covered. Nissan offered to pay for half of the repairs. They did admit it was a design flaw on phone. |
