CarComplaints.com Notes: Radiators are still cracking, leaking coolant and destroying transmissions. Which is a shame when you consider that otherwise, this would be a great small pickup truck.

My transmission was failing. It started with unexpected downshifting. It graduated to no reverse gear... it would just slip. We refilled the transmission fluid. Problems returned. We replaced all transmission fluid at a cost of $180. Problems returned. We took it to a mechanic to diagnose... Fluid was low again so he refilled it for another $80. Problems returned.
I started pricing out new transmissions. Then a mechanic randomly asked me to check the radiator. Did the fluid look funny? Yes, it did. It looks greasy.
Problem is with the radiator. It is swapping fluid with the transmission.
I have no idea if my transmission is going to survive this ordeal. I will replace the radiator and pray that the damage to the transmission is not fatal. I expected better from Nissan.
