Description of the problem	as i began to enter the highway and increase speed to about 65 mph, i noticed what felt to be a slip in gears. Each time i decreased by speed and increased over 50 mph, i could feel the same type of slip. Although i drive my vehicle daily, it is usually for very short distances, as i am in town driving. I have only noticed this slip of gears while on the interstate. Today i took my vehicle to the nissan dealership for diagnosis. I was informed that i was no longer under warranty and would have a $2500 deductible for the replacement of the radiator & transmission. My vehicle is properly maintained at recommended intervals, with low mileage. I came home to do some research and learned about the reported radiator/transmission problems for some 2005-2010 nissan truck and suv models. I do not remember ever receiving any information from nissan regarding the potential transmission failure for my make and model and i am disappointed to know that a recall was not issued, as this is a serious safety issue. The service manager also did not mention any of this to me. The only thing that clued me in to an issue was that he mentioned "deductible" and that i was just about 3,000 miles over the warranty. Knowing that a power-train warranty is usually 36/36000, i started thinking, how could i only be 3,000 miles outside of the warranty? Nissan should be held accountable as numerous reports have been made. Extending a warranty to 8/80,000 is also a joke, since most of the reported issues, have not occurred until after 80,000, as in my case. I should not be stuck with this maintenance bill; this is nissan's responsibility. Sometimes doing the right thing as opposed to doing the most profitable is in order. Too bad nissan does not care enough to keep their customers satisfied, but most importantly, safe!

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.
