Description of the problem	Memorial day weekend we were in heavy traffic due to being a saturday and also a holiday weekend. Mph was 40 and our suv suddenly lurched violently forward. Thankfully my husband has fast reflexes and is a very good driver and managed to get control of the car or there would have certainly been bad consequences due to where we were. We also realized there were other signs that something was very wrong and had it taken to a nissan service shop. This is from their notes: "they found internal transmission failure due to auto trans cooler which is internal part of the radiator let go, remove radiator and perform engine/coolant flush twice flush out trans lines twice and replace auto trans with factory reman unit and radiator." they took the suv june 6th and we did not get it back until aug 6th due to nissan having trouble filling all the transmission replacements because of so many of the same transmission/radiator failures and we were told this by the nissan service technician. Paying the almost $6000. And losing our second vehicle for 2 months was frustrating but that we could have been very seriously injured or worse, on top of the many surrounding vehicles and drivers who would have been affected when the suv went out of control lurching forward as it did it is shocking to us that nissan has done nothing about this for years. We can live without the money. We are grateful we came out of it safe. From so many others reporting the same dangerous symptoms of the well known problems to us is scary.
