Description of the problem	My 2005 nissan pathfinder with 67k miles developed a "shudder" at 40 mph and 60 mph, approximately when the car was shifting from 3rd into 4th gear and from 4th into 5th gear. Took it to the dealer and was told that the transmission cooler (part of the radiator system) had leaked coolant into the transmission, ruining the transmission, and that both would need to be replaced, at a cost of approximately $5700. The vehicle is one month short of five years old, but is 7k miles past the warranty expiration and has been problem-free up to this point. After doing some research online, i found hundreds of similar complaints, along with reports that nissan was refusing to pay for repairs to the transmission because the root problem was with the radiator. This is a well-documented problem online; why is nissan refusing to do a recall? You'd think they'd want to avoid the pr disaster toyota is currently enduring ...
