Coolant continued to run out, but no leaks were observed. Just added water to see if I could find a leak. Car cooled and drove fine until the next issue arose.

I am disappointed with my car because I made an investment of $40000 and I am disappointed with the Nissan brand because in my country Bolivia south america was a mark of quality, now after 2000 everything is a mechanical malfunction that does not cover if you don't have the extended coverage after the 80000 miles that is when he turns theses problems i would like to have repaired all without having a no cost.
