Frontier

  • 136,911 miles
I was driving my vehicle in a parking lot, but it seemed like it wasn't getting power. So, I shut it off and when I tried starting it again the fans and lights came on but nothing else. I took it to Firestone and they said it was the starter. They replaced the starter and that didn't fix the problem. They changed the atecu fuse. It started and ran for three minutes and then died again. Then I took it to an electrical shop. They couldn't find anything wrong. Then I took it to the Nissan dealer and they said it was the brain ECM. They fixed that and it still wouldn't start the car. Then they said it was the ECU and transmission. They said the transmission was no good due to cross contamination (radiator fluid into the transmission). This is a Nissan defective radiator and they charged $5500 for a mistake that wasn't my fault.
