What owners wrote

Boch nissan south ( formerly nissan village)sold me a truck on march 30, 2013 where they rolled back the odometer & failed to mention 2 serious accidents in 2011 prior to my purchase march 2013. I believe we were shown a different car fax I was told it was the salesman's wife's truck that she had just traded in. I have had very serious issues that made no since for a truck that had been babyed by me . Complete enigen fire in febuary nuremous oil leaks & radiator mixing with the coolant oil past 10 months.

Reported at 143,000 miles, February 2018 Fire

The radiator leaked and the coolant went into the transmission and now has totally screwed up the transmission to the point of having to replace it and the radiator. Nissan knows about this problem and will not make a recall on either parts which is completely wrong.
