I purchased this 1 owner trade in 4/11/19. As of 5/9/19 I started to experience pronounced issues with losing power around 40 mph. Diagnostics confirmed that it was due to a leak in the cooling coil which resulted in coolant in my transmission fluid which damage the transmission. I have filed a claim under the class action required extended warranty. As I was unaware of this issue and didn't know what was happening and honestly afraid to find out since I still owe 5000 dollars on the car I put off getting the diagnostics. The final straw came when I was merging onto the highway and lost power trying to merge into fast traffic. I finally called a local repair shop for diagnostics on 5/31/19 and took the first available appointment on 6/4/19. I was told there may be an extended warranty and to call the dealership. The dealership confirmed the diagnosis the next day 6/5/19 and Nissan is reviewing my claim. I am praying they won't deny it because the diagnostics were completed a couple business day after the extension expired on 5/31/19.
Purchased this vehicle for my wife, while she was driving down the freeway in rush-hour in August in phoenix, the vehicle started smoking and lost all power to the transmission, I noticed the transmission cooler had failed and sprayed fluid all over the engine, -this all happened with zero warning and no service indicator lights were activated. I towed the vehicle to my house and inspected further, called the dealership and they said at 120K I no longer qualify for a warranty covered repair even though the service department is very much aware of this problem. I'm now facing a repair by myself or pay a mechanic to fix an obvious design flaw.
