If you own a Nissan or you’re thinking about buying a Nissan, you’re gonna want to pay attention to this video…

It comes to us from a mechanic at a shop in Utah, and let’s just say that this fella wasn’t too impressed by the car company.

The mechanic said that the problem he sees with the Nissan Titan is “disgusting” and he explained that the transmission costs $12,000 and you can only buy it from a dealer.

He told viewers that he pulled the transmission out of the Nissan, found the leak, and called the Nissan dealer to get a seal to fix the issue…

But the dealer told him there was no seal.

The man said, “There’s nothing available for this. An oil pan gasket, that’s all you can get.”

The mechanic added that the only way to fix the issue was to buy a whole new transmission.

Sounds shady!
