Description of the problem	Vehicle moving along interstate in heavy traffic at 60 mph when acted as if it was shifted into neutral. Almost got hit twice trying to coast to side of road. There was no response to trying to accelerate, shifter still in d position. Engine temperature rose quickly. Shut engine off engine, to prevent a fire. Sit there momentarily, restarted the engine, temp came down, transmission engaged, drove home. Husband investigated and found oily substance in radiator and transmission low in fluid that was a pasty looking material now on dipstick. Refer to the nissan radiator defect class action lawsuit settlement case is in re: nissan radiator/transmission cooler litigation, case no. 10-cv-07493, u. S. District court for the southern district of new york. We were never notified of a recall or the suit, when we would have qualified for assistance from nissan. Does the state of new york decide reparations to the rest of the country while i am now poor and need a car and can't afford to repair it. How many more failures are out there? Includes pathfinder and frontier models. Also discovered vin number on top of dash was incorrect. Thanks. *js
