Description of the problem	The truck would get a shudder/vibration that shook the whole truck at around 45 and 60 miles per hour and would not shift properly. A nissan dealer verified that the transmission had been cross contaminated with coolant fluid. I was livid to learn that nissan knew about this issue since 2007 but did not tell me about the defect when i took the truck for maintenance (a transmission fluid exchange) in 2010 when i had 68,000 miles on the truck. I was robber of the opportunity to take action even at my own cost that would have prevented this catastrophic failure. Nissan refuses to pay anything towards the cost citing the settlement in the class action. I was told the terms of the settlement would not allow nissan to cover anything after 100,000 miles. I refused to allow the dealer to fix it because they did not give me a warning when i was having the routine maintenance done on the trani and because nissan will never get another penny from me. The service tech at the nissan dealer told me not to buy an after market radiator because it would be based on the old radiator design so i could have the same problem of cross contamination again. He said nissan had a new radiator. Clearly sounds like a manufacturer design defect. Also, i read that it is for 2005-2010 nissans but i spoke with the owner of a 2011 nissan frontier who told me he had the cross contamination but because it was under warranty, nissan had to pay to fix everything. The fact that nissan knows about this but is not being proactive in letting customers know that there could be a problem is irresponsible. I had to pay $5200 to fix the trani and radiator, $110 for the dealer to confirm cross contamination, $104 for towing and $330 for a rental car. This is 180 degrees from how honda is treating the recently announced cooling fluid leak they have. Honda is extending the warranty 10 years with unlimited miles.
