Description of the problem	I was driving my 2006 nissan pathfinder on a highway in light traffic at about 60 mph when i began to hear a high-pitched whine from the engine area. When i started to accelerate after stopping at a traffic light, the vehicle "bucked," or lurched forward, and began to shake. There was no one in front of me at the time; if another vehicle had been in my path, i would have slammed into it. I was able to exit the highway without incident and drive/coast to a safe place where i immediately called for a tow truck. The repair shop at the nissan dealership informed me that the radiator fluid had leaked into the transmission and caused the transmission to fail. Nissan apparently knew about this problem but did not suggest that the potentially defective radiator be replaced before it led to transmission failure.
