Description of the problem	I was driving my truck on the expressway and i felt vibration when it shift from first to second gear as i increased the speed the vibration got worse and i felt something like it was trying to pick up speed but it could not and finally it caught the gear and was able to pick up speed but at the same time my check engine light came on. So i was able to drive it home and when i got there i called bill kay nissan to take it i for service. When i took it in they checked it out and i was informed my transmission valve body had become contaminated and it had to be replaced and it would cost me $2098 to replace it and if i didn't get it replaced it was possible for the transmission fluid and radiator fluid could mix and cause the transmission to go bad. Moving forward to june 9th 2014, on approximately may 3rd i noticed i began to feel some vibration again and it felt the same way it felt in august of 2013 and on june 8th the check engine light came on once again so i took it back to bill kay nissan and was told the transmission and radiator fluid had mixed and i would have to have the transmission and radiator replaced and nissan had an extended warranty offer but it had a $2500 deductible and i would be responsible for that portion. I've already spent $2100 to have the valve box replaced because of some contamination and now i'm being told i have to spend more money on the same thing. This is not right.
