Description of the problem	I was driving on an interstate highway where the speed limit is 70mph. Car begins have a large rumble. Can't tell if it the rear end, the drive shaft or transmission. There is no pattern to the rumble and it continues for several weeks, so i take it to an auto repair shop. They tell me that i have water in my transmission fluid, which was caused by a cracked line in the radiator. I am told to check on the internet, because this is a big problem that lot of nissan xterra owners are facing. So, i check it out and the issue is huge. I bought the xterra about 2 years ago and during that time was never contacted by anyone warning me of this issue. Now, at the time i find that there was a settlement, my vehicle has over the 100,000 mile limit. From what i read, the majority of the vehicles are over the 100,000 mile limit when the problem occurs. My vehicle still will drive and only get the rumble occasionally, but i now know it's fate. It's ashamed that i could not have been warned by nissan before facing costly repairs. Nissan could have saved us lots of headache and money if we had know and been able to be pro-active before the damage was done.
