Description of the problem	Suddenly my truck appeared to have no power; could not accelerate up to traffic speed or effectively get across an intersection. It was scary and dangerous as this could have easily caused an accident. The "service engine soon" light came on and i promptly took my 2005 nissan frontier nismo v6 to my local nissan dealer for service. I had just had the full 90k mile service with radiator flush and no issues where reported to me. So i was shocked when they told me that it needed to have both the radiator and transmission replaced due to "fluids mixing". Antifreeze and water from the radiator had leaked into the transmission and destroyed it. And i was further shocked and angry that it would cost me $3k even after nissan's "extended warranty". (i don't have this kind of money lying around to dump into my 7+ year old truck, that i had bought new in '05.) this is a catastrophic defect in the design - known by the manufacturer and should be made right by the manufacturer. I've found that there are hundreds of complaints about this same issue across the internet for other 2005-2010 frontiers, pathfinders and xterras. Nissan needs to do their consumers right, or risk loosing loyalty. Up until now, i've been really happy with my truck, my service dealer and nissan, but now i'll be looking at other brands that back their products and consumers better.
