Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving my truck I noticed smoke pulled over into a lot looked under truck and noticed fluid everywhere. Had vehicle towed to Nissan dealer. They stated transmission cooler line split caused fluid to leak out that caused transmission to fail. Truck still under power train warranty and refusing to pay for the repair. Had a child in truck at the time so good thing I was not on the interstate. If you google Nissan Titan transmission cooler line you will find many post on this issue.”
