Tranny dead..this should be interesting

Auto..car wouldn't go into reverse. Took it to the dealer, guy's like.."we can't look at it today. If it's your fault, if you hit something and it messed up your tranny cooler line, you know you're going to have to pay right?" I was like WTF look at the car first before you go blaming it on me. The Teins are their greatest excuse..blame every little thing on the car bottoming out.

Question: When you auto guys' trannies died, was it an internal problem? That is, do you think this dealer is gonna blame it on the car bottoming out? Is that a legit excuse? I mean, if that were the excuse they gave, how can I counter it? Someone w/mods or that has had their tranny replaced under warranty..please give me some advice.

its not your fault thats a manufacture deffect. you are not the only one that his tranny has gone bad. if they want to blame it on you and refuse to fix it you can take it a step further it not your fault its nissans fault.

your car is probably lowered. Your dealer is an ahole,and just wants to protect his ***. Put your car back to stock and take it to a diff. shop

Take it to another dealer. Your dealer sucks. I can't believe that they're trying to blame you without even looking at the car.

that dealer tried to turn you away. ask them, "if I hit my tranny cooler line, wouldnt my radiator be messed up already?" the tranny cooler liine is sitting between the radiator and tranny and if something happeend to it, pretty mcuh the front of the bottom of your car is messed up too.


I would take look at your tranny pan, if it has a big dent on it, probably your hit something. but it doesnt mean that's the cause of your tranny problem.


good luck

Maybe he was trying to help you out in a round-about way. Like saying "I see you're lowered, if you have any physical damage to the underside tranny parts you'll be denied warranty".

Gives you chance to make sure there isn't anything damaged from bottoming out.
