Description of the problem	I bought this vehicle in june 2011 from benson nissan in spartanburg, sc. I had no idea about the radiator/transmission problems these vehicles were having &of course it wasn't mentioned in the sale. It was already slightly past the 80,000 mile warranty (the previous owner was obviously aware of problems) for the radiator. Less than 2 weeks after purchase i told the sales person &a mechanic that the car was jerking at around 60 mph when changing gears. The mechanic blamed ? Bad gas? & ? Ethanol? & assured me it wasn't the transmission. Less than a month later, i took it back to the dealer? S &told them the car was still jerking at 60mph &asked them about the transmission. They again told me there was not a problem with the transmission. The car continued to shake worse when shifting &i continued to call nissan &complain. The sales person even offered to trade the car in for me, but reneged when his manager declined because i ? Got too good of a deal on that car &(they) couldn't trade it back.? The shaking began to get worse &spread to lower gears &i accepted the fact that i was sold a lemon. Through all this, no one at the nissan dealership mentioned the transmission or radiator problem. I found out about it only after i began to research how to repair it myself &by then all i could do was pray. Barely one year after purchase while on the way to my parent? S house with my child in the back seat, &while on a busy highway, the car stuck in 2nd gear. I barely got it to my parent? S house &endured a lot of angry drivers around me. It cost $3700 to rebuild the transmission &replace the radiator that leaked into the transmission &finally after getting it back the jerking while shifting has stopped. I should've been informed about the transmission problem at purchase or at least after complaining &nissan needs to make good on their faulty parts before someone is really hurt.
