Description of the problem	When i was driving down the road and at about 45 to 50 mph, my transmission went out leaving the truck powerless and not being able to make it to a safe place to pull over! I was stranded in the middle of the road, which was a death trap not only for myself but for my wife or daughter as well. I began checking the fluids and i discovered the transmission fluid was a burnt brown strawberry milk shake color. I was very confused about the color of my transmission fluid so i hopped on google to research problems with frontiers transmission. I found list of complaints of the same issue i had just experienced. I immediately called the dealership in gainesville ga. I asked the tech if the truck had any recalls. The tech stated that there where 2 recalls. I asked him if there was any known problems with the radiator and transmission, and of course no was the response. I inquired about the issues i discovered. The tech then replied "well nissan did extend there warranty on that problem". He told me to call nissan n. America. The nissan representative asked all the questions the dealership did and asked about the miles. I replied 101570. The rep. Stated he was sorry i was out of all extended warranty plans. I asked him just because i am 1500 miles over you guys cant help me? The representative replied that it was out of their extended warranty window, so he was sorry they can not assist me. Then he gave me a number to the radiator and transmission hot line. I replied to him by stating, wow this is that big of a problem that nissan specifically has a hotline for the situation? The representative just hang up. I then called the 1877-208-9275 radiator and coolant assist line. They where closed because of martin luther king day. My argument is why has nissan not made a recall about this safety issue?
