| Description of the problem | My 2005 nissan xterra had just under 100,000 miles on it. The transmission began to slip and there would be no power. I had it towed to nissan and the radiator had leaked coolant into the transmission, destroying the transmission for about a 5,000 $ repair. Nissan offered no explanation other than "it happens", and after further research, found that i'm not the only case of this happening. Luckily for me, i was on a secluded state road when my transmission first slipped. Had i been on a freeway, i would have lost all power in a busy and unsafe location. Http://www. Carcomplaints.
