First of all, bought this Nissan not knowing of no lawsuit for an ATF and coolant mix that ruins your transmission and other components that could cost 4000 $ or more to repair. We bought it with 60000 miles and have had it for 3 years, approx 45 thousand miles and this sh*t happens,,, Nissan needs to own up to their bullshit mistake and fix this problem. I will tell everyone not to own nor ever buy this brand name, NISSAN, until they come to and face that they messed up and get it fixed and fixed right,,, not just a flush either...
