I had bought a used 2007 nissan xterra and the radiator and transmission went out on it. I do not have the money to fix it. It is not driveable. I had bought it im august of 2017 and it went out on me in march 2018. The dealership I bought it from can not help me.
Coolant from my radiator got into my transmission and damages my transmission and transmission computer in 2015 and I had to have it replaced. Earlier this year 20q8, my transmission went out again with what seems to be the same exact problem. I can't afford to replace the transmission again so I'm stuck now.

Transmission failed from radiator leak. Nissan didn't notify us. Called corporate on different occasions over the last couple years and we keep getting a run around. We've been told the vehicle has to many miles or to old. I asked to speak with manger and was told there decision has been made. Each time the managers were always busy. They vehicle shut down in the middle of traffic on a busy highway.
Transmission failure due to radiator leaking into transmission
Lack of recall for the transmission failure. The transmission does shift from park to neutral to reverse and then drive but once in drive it stays in a lower gear like 1st. While driving on a city street all of the sudden I noticed that the vehicle was making a sound as if it were not shifting to a higher gear. I then noticed that the check engine light came on. We took the vehicle to a repair shop and they checked the engine code and they said it was a transmission issue and that we needed to take it to a transmission shop. We took it to a transmission shop and they said that the codes is for transmission failure. Repair cost will be about 5000.
