Description of the problem	While driving down the street at approximately 45mph the vehicle suddenly loss forward moving power but the engine would rev to a high rpm, causing a dangerous situation with the other traffic on the road while we attempted to coast to the side of the road. Upon taking the car to the dealer, i was informed that the radiator had experienced an internal failure causing antifreeze to enter and contaminate the transmission causing that to become damaged beyond repair. Although the power train (which i imagine includes the transmission) was still under manufactures warranty up to 60,000 miles, i was told it would not qualify for a warranty repair since it was determined that the radiator was the cause of the transmission failure and the radiator was only covered under a 3 year or 36,000 mile warranty. The repair costs for both were quoted to me from the dealer to be ~$6,000. 00 for a new radiator and transmission. It is also my understanding nissan has recently started to extend the warranty on certain pathfinders faulty radiators (based off of vin number) and would also reimburse anyone who already had to pay for this repair out of pocket. I have not received a letter from nissan to-date stating my vehicle has qualified for this plan. Even though it is obvious to me (and the nissan dealer) that my radiator was faulty therefore causing the damage beyond repair to my transmission as well. I feel i should be reimbursed for this very expensive repair since it was caused out of no fault of my own. Due to the extremely high dealer quote, i opted to have the vehicle repaired at an independent certified repair shop for ~$4,000. 00 for which they installed a newly warranted transmission and radiator package. I was told they only sell the replacement transmissions with the radiators included, confirming to me that this type of failure is known to the industry as a combined failure.
