Description of the problem	While operating the vehicle, moderate to heavy vibration occurred followed by an extreme loss of power. Thankfully i was not on an expressway. Took to dealer and was told transmission was contaminated with coolant, requiring a replacement of the radiator and transmission, approximately $5,000. While there, it was inferred that this has been a recurrent problem with this model. There were 2 other vehicles there that day with similar complaints. The dealer (first team nissan) has submitted to nissan north america a request for some relief. The vehicle currently has 100,000 miles on it, but i believe strongly, based on various web searches and some complaints on this site, that there is a manufacturing defect that needs to be addressed. I have not heard back from the dealer or the manufacturer about this. The dealership said they handle these on a 1st come 1st served basis and he believes they have a very large back-log of complaints. The problem was diagnosed by the dealer may 3, 2011.
