Description of the problem	I was driving on interstate 75 in atlanta, ga at the beginning of rush-hour when my vehicle suddenly started jerking. This is a 6 lane highway and i was riding in the center lane. While attempting to work my way to the right shoulder, i was unable to accelerate because my transmission was unresponsive. I had to hit the accelerator really hard to get out of the way of 18 wheelers and other fast moving vehicles. Thankfully, i was able to get the vehicle out of the way of on-coming traffic without incident. I had my vehicle towed to town center nissan, which is where i take it for regular servicing and was informed on friday 1/24/14 that the transmission 'was shot.' not willing to take their word for it, my husband and i visited an aamco transmission location and was told by the technician that there was a class action law suit against nissan due to radiator fluid leaking into the transmission. He stated that he had serviced 8 - 9 pathfinders with the problem. My husband contacted nissan corp and the dealership about our discovery. Nissan initially denied any responsibility, but stated that they would investigate. We were contacted by nissan corp yesterday informing us that our problem was not due to cross-contamination, but due to an issue with the transmission fluid, in other words, it is our fault. What is most interesting is that this is our regular service site, so any issues with the transmission should have been reported to us by them. That is what we have been paying them for. They have quoted us $4500. 00 to replace the damaged transmission. They also made a point of stressing the fact that they would not have addressed it anyway due to the fact that we have over 100,000 miles on the vehicle. Yes in 2014 we have 118,000 miles, but we were well below that number when this mess surfaced in 2010. What's worse is we never received a notice from nmac.
