Description of the problem	My daughter was pulling out on to a busy road on her way to school and the transmission seized causing a near collision with a oncoming semi-truck. The semi-truck driver had to skid to avoid a tragic accident. In my opinion would have been fatal for my daughter! The mechanic told us the radiator transmission cooler leaked radiator fluid into the transmission and ruined it. I have contacted nissan about this issue and they refuse to offer any assistance. We have had the vehicle less than a year and nothing from a maintenance standpoint could have prevented this. Nissan concealed the fact that the radiator had a defect straight from the manufacturing plant. They should not only be held responsible for the replacement of the radiator but also the thousands of dollars it costs for the transmission. We cannot afford to have it fixed and are out a vehicle. As far as i'm concerned they need to be reprimanded before someone dies!
