Description of the problem	Transmission did not engage when pulling car out of my garage. I put it in park and tried again but the car would still not engage. After a third attempt the car began to move but the transmission was acting very odd and disengaging, almost like i was coasting. This was very scary for me and my three children. My husband inspected the car and found that radiator fluid contained a white greasy substance. I took the car in for inspection and repair at my local nissan dealer and they informed me that there was indeed cross contamination due to a cracked transmission cooling line mixing with the radiator fluid. This will end up costing me $2,500. 00 to fix. It appears that i am not the first to have to deal with this problem, and by the number of people filing complaints it seems like a defect to me and not mere coincidence. This really needs to be a recall. Nissan needs to be held liable for the multitudes of people stuck in this unfortunate situation.
