Description of the problem	I purchased a 2006 nissan pathfinder in 2009. It had 64000 miles and i paid $18500. Of course the dealer did not inform me of the issue. Since i have purchased this car (one previous owner) i have had to replace two cat converters, a radiator, a pressure gauge, and now a transmission because the radiator fluids and transmission fluids are mixing. It causes the car to jerk uncontrollably out of nowhere while in normal operation. When i brought the car in for service, the service adviser had me change the radiator and the transmission maintenance. This costs me $1650. Two cat converters, $3200. Now they said i need a new transmission for $5000+. There have been over 5000 complaints regarding this safety issue, and the nhtsa has not issued a recall. This is unbelievable. Will someone have to be killed first in a pathfinder for something to be done? The car is very dangerous to drive. Nissan is well aware of this problem and could care less. I have been spoken to nissan north america, they have decided i was one not worthy of help due to mileage. The problem i have is nissan knows and understands this will happen to their cars eventually. It is not only pathfinders, but also frontiers, maximas, altimas, etc. Read all of the blogs. It is a joke. Nissan needs be held accountable for the design flaw. They are having their customers pay for nissan's problem. Usa nissan customers need your help. Nissan needs to be punished for their inaction. Nissan has also settled a class action lawsuit as well regarding this issue. Please do something before somebody gets killed!

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?
