Description of the problem	I purchased my vehicle directly from the manufactured on june 27, 2006. On or about september 26, 2014 my 2006 nissan frontier started having a strong vibration causing my steering the be unstable and the automatic transmission seemed to slip and then catch when my car changes gears from 30-35-40-45-50-55 mph. On october 3, 2014, i took my vehicle into the nissan dealership here on kauai and after 5. 5 hours i was informed my radiator had a crack and was leaking into my transmission. I was told there was a class action lawsuit file regarding this issue and there was now extended warranties on these parts for failure. The extended warranty for no cost to customer is 80000 miles/8 years. My vehicle is under the 80000 miles, but i am over the 8 years by 3 months. I spoke with the manager and he called nissan north america to see if there was anything they would do regarding the fact my truck was only 3 months over the 8 years and below the miles on the extended warranty. I received a call back from him stating they would not cover anything additional and i would need to cover the $2500 co-payment to replace the radiator and transmission. I was however told if i wanted to trade in my vehicle for a new one, they would deduct the $2500 from the price of a new vehicle. I told him i would not buy another nissan sine they do not stand by their product. There are hundreds if not thousands of people who bought nissans with this issue. Nissan is aware of the problem and there should be a recall on this item as it could cause the transmission to cease. I now have to drive this vehicle with the vibration i believe is unsafe until the parts come in. I guess they are going to wait until this causes an accident and someone gets hurt to recall the defect in their automobiles.
