Description of the problem	I own a 2005 nissan pathfinder and i have been having problems with the heat staying consistent (does not blow hot air when idle) as well a vibration when driving at certain speeds. I also begin to notice that transmission began to slip. I would stop at a red light and go to take off and would not be able to pick up speed which can be dangerous when entering the highway. I researched this online and found many others having the same problems. I took the truck to a nissan dealership and they told me exactly what i already knew, the radiator was now no good and leaking antifreeze into the transmission which has caused both of them to be ruined and they want to charge me 5k to replace. I asked if the dealership has seen this before and it was confirmed that several of the same vehicles have been in for this very reason. He advised that nissan has not paid for these services as the vehicles are always out of warranty on the radiator. I still have 2000 miles left on my powertrain and advised that i would be contacting nissan for "goodwill" assistance. Nissan finally contacted me and advised that since the problem was initially caused by the radiator, they would not honor the powertrain warranty. They also advised me that since i was not considered "loyal" to nissan as this is my first vehicle with them they could not help me. I do think it is fair to hold the consumer responsible for fixing the transmission as clearly the radiator is defective and the problem doesn't begin until after it is out of warranty. I cannot afford to pay 5k for the transmission and i shouldn't have to. If this was a rare case or caused by the consumer then, yes we should be held responsible but this is clearly a defect as all nissan dealerships are aware of this problem. Please assist us and issue a recall for these parts as driving this vehicle is unsafe.
