Description of the problem	I had noticed fluid leaking from under the front /right portion of my vehicle after i parked. I opened the hood and the reserve cap to the radiator had come loose. After letting my vehicle cool, i inspected both the reserve tank and radiator and noticed the fluid was now a milky/frothy substance. After some detective work, i learned that this is a common issue with pathfinders from 2005- through 2010 that nissan has ignored to fix. The transmission fluid cooler in the radiator assembly "fails" causing contamination to the internal transmission components ,and damage to the internal transmission computer. There are no warning signs up to or just prior to the failures. After contacting nissan and receiving a denial to fix our truck under a warranty, i am stuck with a vehicle with several "thousands of dollars" in repairs all due to nissan ignoring a known defect and not issuing a recall on all vehicles in the "known" year bracket with these issues. I'm sure nothing will be done regarding this issue due to there not being a major loss of lives involved, i. E. Takata airbags,but i find it is my duty to add my name to an already hefty list of other nissan pathfinder owners that have experienced this same problem.
