Description of the problem	When i drove it to work, there were a few delays while shifting gears. After half hour driving it, i heard water splashing sounds. I turned off the radio and i heard the splashing sounds even more clear. In the same time, i smelled electronic burnt like smells. Since i was on the express way, i couldn't stop right away. Then, 15 minutes later or a total of 45 minutes driving it, there were smokes from the front. I was so shock and worry if the car was going to blow up. I felt panic because i couldn't just stop in the middle of the driving lanes. Thankfully, other cars slowed down for me and let me passed. I pulled up in the nearby dairy depot's parking lot, but i was 20 minutes away from my workplace's city. It was so cold and windy, but since i was worry if the car would blow up, i got out and stood in the cold. Also, the tow truck was delayed for 2 hours and i had to missed work. The car shop told me that the radiator causes the transmission issues and all fluids are mixed together. When i researched this issue, i came across many others who had the same issue. I am shocked that it's very common. I feel so discourage to ever trust nissan again. This car was my investment as i have $7000 loan remaining on it and i just fixed all four shafts for $1000. I have always done comprehensive maintenance to it. So, where did i go wrong? How can nissan does this? Why there was no recall that would have regained customers' trust that it is safe to drive nissan??? Why nissan has to wait for a mountain of complaints before agreed to extend the warranty and even that was only for those under 100k mileage? Does it mean that nissan can't make a car that last more than 100k??? Not only nissan jeopardizes my safety and others, now my investment in nissan has turned into a chunk of debt for me. This is so wrong!!!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
