Description of the problem	On 17 january 2018, i was driving westbound on i-20, i was taking my niece and nephews to school, there was an accident a few miles ahead, so traffic was crawling luckily. It started when with the vehicle wouldn't respond when i pushed on the gas pedal. It would take a while for the vehicle to gain speed. Then i started smelling oil coming from the air vents, so i turned off the heater and tried to make my way to the shoulder of the highway but was unable to do so because of the heavy traffic. I had to turn the heater on again because it was cold outside and i had the kids in the car. As i was trying to make it to the side of the highway, all traffic stopped, and i smelled the oil again and saw smoke. I immediately turned off the car and popped the hood to check what was smoking or where it was coming from. As i was looking under the hood, i heard fluid leaking, so i started looking around, and when i looked at the passenger side of the car, there was a huge oil spill. Later i found out it was transmission fluid and it was milky white attached are the pictures of the oil spill and when i pulled the transmission dipstick and saw it was milky white also. Upon doing my research, i found out that i was not the only one to have this problem with this particular model and year of vehicle. There was a class action lawsuit, and all they did was extend the warranty, they have not issued a recall, people continue to have this issue. I contacted nissan consumer affairs, and they said they would not fix the issue repair costs are nearly $6000. 00
