Description of the problem	Hello fellow "nissaners"! Well, was so happy with this truck and my wife as well, because that was her first idea to purchase this good-looking vehicle. Our son was driving our frontier to school and back home a few years ago, then to a local university. Everybody were so happy! Then my son mentioned that truck is behaving very strange: heavy shaking/jumping at highway speeds around 60-65 mph. I didn't believed it till i draw myself. True! A few times i felt like heavy hit from behind, looks like someone ended up to truck's rear side! Then i searched web and after some exploration realized the problem is radiator coolant contaminates with automatic transmission fluid! How?! I opened radiator cup and saw milky substance on it and transmission fluid was not a clear pink color, it was more like pinkish milk shake color! That was it!!! After almost $32k were paid in full and happy family for a few years, now a huge frustration and helplessness!!! Dealers "offer a help" only if we pay full price for transmission and radiator to change - about $6k. I have not so much money!!! I heard nissan refusing a recall on this huge issue. Mr. Nissan or whoever you are, please do something about it, are you sleeping well every night?! We don't!!! Are you (mr. Nissan) afraid to go bankrupt of this big problem - i've bet you are! But think of those people who are behind the wheels of your trucks and suvs and on this cars one day might get stuck in middle of fast highway because of this failure...!!! I really hope somebody can hear us out there. Please do something!!! Please!!! Other frontiers, pathfinders, xterras - please write your complaints!!! Don't seat and wait when something will happen, or till something happens!!! Thank you!!!

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?
