Description of the problem	Traveling at approximately 40mph. Noticed that car shuddered when i accelerated, but then it stopped as i sped up. Service engine soon light came on and car lost power while i was driving in high traffic. Nearly rearended by the vehicle behind me. Cars has to swerve to miss hitting me. The rpms were high when i applied the accelerator, but the car would only go about 10 mph. Took car to mechanic nearby. Was told there was a problem with the transmission and the car was dangerous to drive. Advised to have the car moved to a local transmission business for further inspection. Received a class action lawsuit notice against nissan for the very make and model suv i own. At the time, i had no problems. I have maintained the vehicle well. This very costly transmission problem came on suddenly with no warnings, which i read is typical of this nissan defect. I believe that these cars should be recalled and all expenses paid for by nissan as they were aware of the defective radiators. Not only are the costs to their consumers unacceptable ($6,000 repair on a vehicle with little over 100,000k miles), but they are putting people's lives at risk with this defect.
