Description of the problem	While driving on the highway, penultimate week. I observed loud engine noise, vigorous shaking and jerking and a reluctance in acceleration when i applied gas pedal. I was a little bewildered as i have been very punctilious with the regular maintenance of my car. I gently pulled into a parking lot to avert any danger on the freeway. Upon exiting the car, i perceived a pungent burning smell. At this point, i knew it would be unsafe and pernicious to drive the car home. I immediately called for roadside assistance through my insurance company and had the car taken to my mechanic. He called back the following day with the most disheartening news. For some uncanny reason, fluid from the radiator was leaking into and contaminating the transmission. He vehemently pointed out that he had seen quite a few of the same ominous problems brought to his shop, involving mostly 2006 nissan pathfinders. I was given a quote of about $4500-$7000 to fix this problem. I purchased the vehicle from a used car dealer with approximately 117,000 miles. I'm currently financing the car and because of my student loan and exorbitant fees, i still owe a lot on it. Honestly, i cannot afford the repairs at this juncture. It is very rapacious and immoral of nissan to abdicate their responsibility and pass on the financial burden to innocent consumers. These cars had factory defects and design flaws that nissan was aware of but chose to ignore. I enjoin anyone having similar problems and indeed conscientious members of the public to vociferously condemn nissan's action and force a recall. This is corporate greed at it's worst !!

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?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
