Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I was driving and stopped at a traffic signal. When the light turned green and i pressed the gas pedal the vehicle moved less than 5 m. P. H. This continued all the way to church on march 10th, 2013. I drove to the vehicle to the dealer and 2 days later they diagnosed the issue. The radiator was leaking coolant into the transmission, cross contaminating the transmission fluid. This caused the valve body in the transmission to fail. The nissan dealer informed me that the radiator and valve body in the transmission had to be replaced. They also informed me that my power train warranty was expired because i was over 100,000 miles and my vehicle is at 104,000. I was told that nissan wouldn't cover the repair even though the radiator is defective but since i caught it early the transmission wasn't totally damaged just partially damaged saving me more money. However, my repair bill was $2,999. 94!! Even the mechanics at nissan told me that this is an known issue (off the record) and nissan should cover the repair!! This is due to a defective radiator and nissan should issue a recall. Consumers shouldn't have to foot the bill for a manufacturing defect that nissan is aware of! It effects 2005 thru 2010 pathfinder, xterra and frontier vehicles. Nissan is voluntarily offering to co-pay for repairs if your vehicle has less than 100,000 miles because of a class action lawsuit that is still pending in court. The issue only occurs after 100,000 miles leaving millions of consumers on the hook for an obvious manufacturing defect!! Please help us recover the cost of this expensive repair?? Please!!!!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
