Description of the problem	I just recently started experiencing a 'shudder' under mild acceleration between 40-60 mph with my 05xterra, v6 4x4 (~120k miles). Feels like my rear wheels are going over a rumble strip and only lasts a few brief moments. Took my xterra back to dealer and they indicated possibility of transmission cooler leak allowing antifreeze to enter torque converter and transmission causing slippage; although they checked my fluids and no cross contamination was evident. They recommended replacing torque converter, transmission and radiator... To the tune of ~$5000... There's got to be better answer... And accountability on their part... I searched on line and found that i'm not alone with this issue... A number of folks have experienced the same issue... Nissan has even acknowledged a problem and has extended their warranty on the radiator, but not the torque converter, but my mileage exceeds the extended period; if they know of the issue, why isn't there a re-call... If the torque converter fails while driving, it will most certainly cause an accident... Problem is getting worse and more frequent... There needs to be action by nissan to correct this condition before someone is seriously injured due to a known problem...
