What owners wrote
Vehicle had total failure on highway. Nissan dealer says it is from transmission contamination. TCM totally failed, no power.
At a stop sign started to drive then stopped the vehicle jerked forward and started to vibrate more than normal. I called nissan about the bad radiator that wrecks the transmission. They told me to bring it in to be checked over. Why don't they recall the radiator and not put my family at risk for a bad know part.
