Description of the problem	I had my transmission and radiator replaced in my 05 nissan xterra in dec 2010 at 69,000 miles due to defect of radiator leaking into transmission which caused me to brake down on a 2 lane highway. The nissan service/dealer in kingston ma where we purchased the vehicle tried to tell us all that was needed was a radiator and transmission flush but we had already contacted nissan corporate and found out we were entitled to a new transmission and radiator assembly due to a recall. They unwillingly replaced both assemblies. I have now experienced a 2nd brake down on an on ramp entering the highway and could not move my car as the transmission again failed at 153,900 miles. I had it towed to the nissan service/dealer in kingston ma and was informed the transmission we had put in 2010 was only under warranty for 1 yr/12000 miles and i am responsible for all repair costs. I have to think that the original repair was not done properly and the same problem existed in the new assemblies that were put in as a new transmission should last longer than this. I feel my safety and the safety of other motorists was put at risk due to these problems as severe accidents could have occurred due to the fact that the my vehicle lost the ability to move at all on the highway in two different incidents. Nissan should be held responsible for not fixing the initial problem properly.
