Description of the problem	Note: affected parts are transmission and radiator (not sure what category those fall in) i purchased a 2007 nissan pathfinder from a nissan dealership less than 3 months ago. Immediately after purchasing i noticed what seemed to be a minor lack of power or cutting out when coasting downhill. I mentioned it to my sales rep, and again when i had to take the vehicle back to the shop on two separate occasions for a tire pressure gauge and rear door handle problem. I had never owned a 4wd before and it was dismissed as no big deal since it still drove okay. Then last week, over labor day weekend, my car overheated and immediately discharged a grey milky substance from the radiator without warning. It had not overheated prior to this. I had my car towed to the dealership. They informed me that both the transmission and the radiator need replacing to the tune of $6,600. The cause being the radiator fluid leaking into the transmission. This repair is over half the value of the car. I never would have purchased the vehicle had i known about the defect. At a minimum i would have insisted it be covered by warranty. I paid full retail price for the car not knowing of this defect. While i'm grateful no one was injured by this defect this time, i have no means to pay the repair costs and owe $13,000 to the bank for a vehicle i cannot drive or resell. *jb
