Description of the problem	My 2008 nissan pathfinder began shuddering whenever i would coast to 40 mph and then accelerate. I took it into the local nissan dealership to have the issue checked out. They informed me there was an issue with the torque converter in my transmission that was caused by leakage from the radiator. They said this was evidenced by rust that had formed on my transmission fluid dipstick. They quoted me a repair price of over $4,500 but informed me i would only be responsible for $3,000 due to a class action lawsuit settlement. After researching the issue, i realized that this is a very common problem with nissans. Further, i'm convinced there was evidence of this issue existing in my vehicle long before i took it in for service. I get my vehicle regularly serviced at the nissan dealership and had my last oil change there about four months ago. It takes a long time for rust to form - so if there is rust on my transmission fluid dipstick today, then there was probably evidence of the issue just four months ago. It was in nissan's best interest to not mention the issue to me since they needed me to be over the 90,000 mile mark so that i'm responsible for more of the repair. This is a huge safety issue - imagine what would happen if the transmission fails during my drive to work on the interstate one day. And it's infuriating that nissan won't correct the issue. I love my pathfinder and would have been a lifelong nissan customer, but you better believe i'll never spend another dollar there.

What is Failure?
