Description of the problem	When i had about 87,000 miles on the vehicle, it started vibrating when i reached about 40 miles an hour. From there, the heat wouldn't work when i would stop at intersections or letting the car idle. I then had my coolant levels checked, and discovered my coolant was mixed with radiator fluid. I had the radiator replaced, and the vehicle drives, but only up to about 40 mph. Trying to accelerate beyond 40 mph and the engine revs high. Turns out my transmission is slipping as a result of the engine coolant getting into the transmission. The only way to continue to use my vehicle is to have the transmission rebuilt/remanufactured at a tune of $5,000. Well, i've already paid ~$40,000 for the vehicle, alone (excluding other repair items since i've owned it). The fact that i need to replace a major power train component to use such an expensive vehicle is beyond comprehension. Until the manufacturer (nissan/infiniti usa) takes responsibility for their major mishap, i discourage everyone i know from purchasing their vehicles. I bought a vehicle... One that should transport me from a point of origin to a point of destination (what it is designed to do). I didn't pay $40,000 for a hunk of plastic and metal to take up space in my driveway. Someone needs to do something about this major malfunction as expediently as possible. This should not be permitted to take place in the modern usa that we live in. Otherwise, what purpose does federal commissions serve if the citizens aren't protected from such fraud?
