Description of the problem	I went to pick up my oldest daughter from track practice and placed my 4 year old in her car seat to start driving. Allowing the car to warm up, i pulled out of my driveway and proceeded up the hill in my neighborhood when i noticed that my vehicle would not accelerate above 20 mph. Traffic was heavy at the time. Thinking that i did not warm the car up enough i proceeded on my way up hills at a snails pace to retrieve my oldest daughter from high school. Once i made it to the high school i figured that there was something significantly wrong with the vehicle and just wanted to get the vehicle home. I had to contend with heavy traffic trying to cross a large and busy road with a vehicle that only accelerated to 20 miles an hour and at some time actually stopped without warning in the middle of the road. Although the school is only 2 miles from home it took me 30 minutes to get back safely to my house because of the off and on again drivability. I took it to the mechanic the following monday and they indicated that my transmission failed. The car is not old and taken care of----i searched for recalls and saw the numerous complaints about the transmission and had my vehicle towed to nissan for diagnosis. The diagnosis was a failed transmission as a result of coolant and transmission fluid mixing and they indicated that my transmission would have to be replaced as well as my radiator---this is a known quality issue with the nissan pathfinders. The car failed without warning putting myself and my young daughter at risk for a rear end accident in the vehicle. Nissan should be ashamed of what they have put consumers through and a mandatory recall should happen. This is a safety risk to everyone who drives a nissan.

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?
