Description of the problem	I purchased my "certified pre-own" 2006 pathfinder with only 37,000 miles on it and i properly maintained it. December 2010 i noticed that my truck would lose power and sputter while driving at a speed between 40 to 60 mph, and that it would also "tremble or shake" while shifting gears. I took my truck to the dealer to have it serviced and tuned up. I was informed that the radiator was leaking into the transmission and that i needed to have both replaced. I couldn't see straight! I asked the service tech why in the hell i would need a new transmission on a vehicle with just over 100,000 miles and that i'm still paying for no less. The tech suggested that the transmission could be "saved" and i would still have to buy a new radiator and other parts. A year later- 03/12 my truck is behaving the same way so instead of returning to the dealer i decided to take it to a transmission specialist. When i informed him of my problem he asked if i had any problems with the radiator, as a matter a fact i told him i had it replaced a year ago because it was leaking into the transmission. He informed me that he's had a number of pathfinder owners coming to his shop about this very problem, and informed me that there was a class action lawsuit against nissan. I found the lawsuit on the web against nissan and since contacted the attorney and joined in the law suit. Up until the moment i had this problem i was a loyal nissan owner, even back to the days when my father owned a datsun and it became my first car. It's one thing to replace a transmission simply due to normal wear, it's another to have consumers do so because of faulty design from the dealer. I'm disappointed that nissan would treat and handle their customers this way. *js
