Description of the problem	Vehicle coming to a complete stop when the transmission control module failed due to an electronic short resulting from a radiator cooling line rupturing and flooding the transmission. This is a 2006 nissan pathfinder. I checked on line and was surprised (amazed) at the number of individuals who have had the same problem. There are even class action lawsuits pending related to nissan knowingly aware of a defective radiator cooling line that breaks mixing into the transmission. My vehicle has been diagnosed by a nissan dealership quoting $6,500 to replace the transmission and radiator. Nissan also extended the factory warranty to 80k miles when it was discovered that there was a defective part. Thank you. But, they never notified me that there was a problem. And, you don't know there is one until it fails and creates the problem. This is very dangerous. As the car will die if the module shorts out. It is the same module that tells the electronic ignition system that the vehicle is in park. My opinion, nissan being aware of the defective part, in collusion with a vendor who provided the part. Is darn near not only fraud but conspiracy. I pinged several dealerships who openly advised of the defective part and the number of vehicles they have fixed. I asked the dealer how long to get a transmission. I was advised that the one required to fix the 2006 nissan had 148 transmissions on back order. I should expect 4 to 6 weeks to get one. But, of course. My warranty is expired. I was also advised that the line that ruptures normally does between 90 and 110k miles. This is not only a safety issue. It is down right fraud and deceptive practices. Deceptive, because of not notifying owners. Fraud by knowingly having a defective part on a vehicle. *kb
