Description of the problem	Less than one week after hitting 100k miles, i started hearing a noise coming from the engine on my way home from work. As i entered the highway the car lost all power and wouldn't change gears, the engine would rev. But the car wouldn't kick into gear. Luckily i was able to coast off highway safely (during rush hour & with all of the oncoming traffic, it was a very dangerous situation to be in) on the last exit before the toll bridge (which is over a mile long with no shoulder & if i got stuck there, i would have received ticket for over $600). I have keep excellent care of this car, taking it to the dealership for suggested services and now i've now found that nissan has been aware of this problem and rather than recalling the parts, or making sure that the owners of these vehicles are aware of this, they have provided an extended the warranty. I've also found as they know about this problem they set the extended warranty at two different levels and 80k and 100k and that they are expecting most failure over the 100k mark and setting things up that way, they don't expect to honor any liability with most of these failures due to their faulty engineering. I've been trying to get them to work with me but since i now have 100,225 miles (just barley over the 100k mark!!!) they refuse to help with any of the extended warranty assistance (which i would still have to pay $3000 before tax as a deductible). This is a very costly repair, when i initially was looking into purchasing a nissan, i had the understanding that they were reliable and if taken care of would run for well over 200k and that nissan would stand by their product. Dealing with this situation and through research i now see that their bottom line is more important than customer satisfaction and safety!

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?
