2006 NISSAN FRONTIER with 109000. miles

When set in d, the rpm's dropped. Next day driving 20 sec. And looses all power. Can shift the gear stick, but the transmission does not engage. No audible warning or anything like that. Just stopped driving. Got code P1759 and P1769. Needs new transmission and radiator because the coolant leaked into transmission. $5500 is the quote from the dealer.

2005 NISSAN XTERRA with 133164. miles

On 3/14 i went to work as i work where i live when to drive the truck and it would not accelerate. Was like being in 4th gear even though i was in first gear. I then noticed the check engine light came on. I borrowed a code reader and got the code P1769 called the mechanic and they came and towed to shop. The code wasn't what was wrong the radiator leaked into the transmission and it destroyed the transmission. The mechanic rebuilt entire tranny re ran cooling lines and added two cooling fans. He had to buy a brand new valve body and rebuild entire transmission as it was destroyed by the antifreeze. We did see this was a problem with this year Nissan and no recall was ever done. The vehicle was in the shop for almost 8 weeks and the amount it cost to repair was a months worth of bring home pay for my self and wife who is disabled. The truck is repaired now thankfully but would of been nice to have Nissan foot some of this bill for sure
POWER TRAIN,
