Description of the problem	I was having trouble with my 2005 nissan pathfinder transmission slipping during routine driving. I had the fluid level checked and there was no problem. On october 3,2011 while driving on to a highway ramp, i started to accelerate to merge into traffic and the transmission just made a high pitch sound and would not engage. Several cars were behind me and i had to go off the road onto the embankment to avoid being hit. I had the vehicle towed to the shop, after several days told by a mechanic that there was a defect in the radiator of the nissan the interior components of the radiator allowed coolant to mix with the transmission fluid contaminating it. The transmission and other drive train components were damaged and needed to be replaced along with the radiator. When i contacted the nissan dealership here in north carolina i was told that there have been numerous complaints filed regarding the transmission problem but there was not a recall on record to date. The cost of my repairs was $2,500.
