Description of the problem	our transmission started shuttering, pulling, and lagging while driving at speeds of 40 mph or more and eventually failed. As a known factory defect and design flaw, nissan failed to notify current owners about transmission failures due to radiator fluid leaking into the transmission. Instead of sending a letter out to all nissan owners about this issue, they decided to offer an extended warranty up to 2013 or 80,000 miles. Since most of the cars will have problems well after 80,000 miles and no owners were notified of this extended warranty, consumers were left unaware as nissan evaded the problem. As our only family car, this issue could have caused a major injury or death if the car's transmission failed while driving on the highway. I have tried to get answers from nissan north america, but they said they are not willing to help me because i am past the 80,000 mile mark and that i am not a loyal enough customer. I have owned three nissans and i don't know how i could possibly be more loyal, especially since i had major issues with my nissan titan a couple of years ago which nissan denied to fix even while it was still under the factory warranty. This should have been resolved with a factory recall long before i had this issue. Now i am facing a repair bill from nissan for $5,380. 00. Leaving consumers with this kind of burden and hazard makes me wonder if nissan is waiting for someone to be seriously injured or die from this very common and inevitable outcome for most nissan suvs and their owners. This problem still exists, it will not go away on its own, and there are hundreds of people like me with the exact same complaint. Something needs to be done to hold nissan accountable regarding this matter.
