Description of the problem	I was parking the car in a carport a low speed when the car lunged forward and hit a metal pole and dented my front bumper. Several weeks before the incident i noticed the car lunges forward (a few times) as i accelerate from a complete stop. This incident happened a few more times until the check engine light came on and the car would hesitate to accelerate. I took the car to universal nissan (where i bought my car and have excellent service record on my vehicle) on 08-21-12 and they informed me that the radiator water was leaking into the transmission and it would cost anywhere between $4-5k to be repaired. They also informed me that this is a known problem for pathfinder, xterra and frontier due to defective radiator. I called nissan north america to see if they could help me with the problem. I waited for a 2 weeks for them to respond but they did not help me, a loyal costumer who have purchased 3 nissan vehicles in the past. This is a very serious problem that nissan chooses to ignore. Since nissan does not want to fix their defective product please make them do something before this serious problem takes a life.
