Description of the problem	I purchased my 2005 nissan frontier at approx. 95k in february. The test drives were fine, the car sounded and drove perfectly fine for a few months. It recently began to start shifting roughly . The nissan dealership i purchased the car from did something to cover up the issue which was obviously why they were trying to sell it before 100k and i got burned on it. I purchased the truck from marietta, ga at team nissan. I didn't get it checked until now, but have since discovered the numerous complaints of a recall related to radiator antifreeze leaking into the transmission and causing failure of both. This is a safety issue and it really does baffle me that a whole generation of nissan vehicles from 2005-2010 have this issue and that it could caused some accidents due to high speed transmission failure. I see this as being a safety issue on the same scale as the toyota issues of a few years back. To have this be a limited warranty recall is disgraceful. You can believe nissan knows exactly when these incidents are likely to occur so they extended their coverage up to that point and they fail thereafter. Not to mention that the current recall does not seem to include issues it causes to the transmission. My truck as you can see is out of the extended warranty for the radiator and was when i purchased it.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
