Description of the problem	My 09 nissan frontier se (automatic transmission) grinded a bit when changing gears. I noticed it was between 3rd and 4th gears. Sometimes it was louder and longer than other times. Sometimes it didn't happen at all. I noticed it happens when i accelerated slowly with the gas only slightly pressed. It didn't happen at all when accelerating to get on the freeway, for example. I had purchased my frontier as a used truck with about 113k miles on it from the nissan dealership in everett, wa and nothing was said of any transmission issues (as you'd expect from a dealer). Only about 3 weeks later after purchasing it the transmission started doing very strange things. While i was driving on the road, my truck was shifting like normal. However, all of a sudden when shifting to the next gear i heard and felt a loud thump from the engine, then the truck sounded like it was in a very high gear and the engine would rev very loudly while i pressed the gas pedal, but my truck wasn't accelerating at all. It seemed like the car was in neutral. I had to pull over on the side of the road and turn off my truck, then restart t to drive again. However, the problem continued but this time it was after i had gotten on the freeway. It would happen after accelerating and shifting all through each gear (around the 4th/5th gear range). I had to pull over 2 more times before finally getting to work.

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.
