Description of the problem	My family and i were driving back from a small trip while on our way home our truck starting shaking when it reached speeds of 40 to 50 mph it did this about 3 different times on our way home. We pulled over to check but were not able to find anything, we were nervous because we had not had any problems with our truck. Once we had made it into to town we were at a stop sign as my husband accelerated to cross the intersection the truck hesitated to speed up. It appeared to be that the truck was stuck on 1 to 2nd gear. Luckily it was late in the evening and there was no oncoming traffic when we crossed the interception, if not i hate to think what could have happened. It felt like the truck was going to die right in the middle of the intersection. Next day we took the truck in to our mechanic. He informed us that there was water/coolant from the radiator that leaked into the transmission, he advice us to take it in to our local nissan dealer shop. We had to pay nissan $96 for them to perform a diagnostic test because they would not accept our mechanics results. Once the diagnostic test was performed it confirmed what out mechanic had informed us. We submitted a claim to nissan of america, and sadly they denied our claim. Their reason behind the denial was because the extended warranty for the radiator covered up to 80k miles our truck was over about 35k miles. We are stuck with a bill of over 6k to have the truck fixed, it requires a new transmission, radiator, tranny cooler line flush and coolant flush. I have been on the phone with nissan for over 11/2 week with no results other than nissan refuses to fix our truck because we have surpass the 80k miles. What i don't understand is how is it possible for a 6 year old truck to have such seriouse problems with transmission due to a falty radiator which nissan was well aware.
