Description of the problem	April 2013 i was having issues with my 2006 nissan pathfinder. It began shuddering upon acceleration. We contacted the local nissan dealership and questioned them about any recall or any other service bulletins regarding transmission issues. I was told there were no recalls on my vehicle or any outstanding service bulletins in regards to this particular year and model. Since the vehicle had over 80,000 miles and was out of warranty and we would have to pay for repairs. April 30 it was found that the radiator assembly was leaking coolant into the transmission and needed replaced. The vehicle was fine for the first week after repair. On may 9 my vehicle was unable to go over 20 mph. It began shuddering and loosing power when accelerating from a standstill or at a low speed. At that point, i had to get out of the flow of traffic and get the car to a safe place along the roadway. Going back to the local repair shop they flushed the transmission fluid, changed the oil and put in new filters. About a week later when the engine was hot; it would continue to shudder upon acceleration, again they flushed the transmission and changed oil. It continued to have issues. On june 2 we took the vehicle to a local transmission place where we had the transmission replaced. At this time we were told about a class action lawsuit against nissan for nissan radiator/transmission cooler litigation, which alleges these vehicles contain a defect that permits cross-contamination of engine coolant and transmission fluid, ultimately causing the radiator and transmission to fail or need substantial repairs. The class action lawsuit further alleges that nissan failed to disclose the alleged radiator defect to consumers despite knowing about it. You needed to file no later than june 7, 2013. Our issues occurred after the deadline. This issue has cost us over $5,000. 00.
