| Description of the problem | I was driving my car on a busy major highway during rush hour traffic. My car sputtered and stalled unable to exceed 40 mph. I pulled over onto the shoulder and waited over an hour for the tow truck while cars zoomed past me at 60 mph. My car was diagnosed with a radiator that leaked antifreeze into transmission causing transmission failure. Nissan has several class action lawsuits against them for this problem.
