Description of the problem	I received a letter for a settlement offer from nissan about the transmission cooler failure which leads to total transmission failure. I started to research what was wrong and what i can do about it seeing as my frontier has 102,000 miles on it and is not covered by the settlement offer. As i did some research i found out about a symptom before transmission failure occurs which is at an idle you have a loss of heat until you rev the engine or start to accelerate and heat returns. I noticed that this had happened around november 2012 while i had left my truck running while parked for a few minutes which i normally do not do. I started to drive and the heat was working again so i thought it might have been a thermostat sticking and watched my vehicle for the signs of this to happen again. I did not notice anything happen again because i do not let my truck sit idle long enough until i tested it today and when i let it sit idle for a minute the heat stopped working properly and returned to normal function when i started driving it. I am trying to find a way to repair the problem before it gets worse but i do not know if i will be able to afford it. So as for the time being i will have to drive my only vehicle to work and hope the transmission does not fail completely and cause an accident or worse. Hopefully i can find a affordable repair or nissan will be forced to repair it before someone driving down the road at highway speeds has this happen and us consumers suffer bodily injury or fatalities before they will do the honorable thing and admit their vehicle has faulty materials used in its construction and repair them. Only they will suffer in the end if they do nothing.

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.
