Description of the problem	I bought a used nissan xterra last year that had 100k mile. Traveling from work warning lights come on. I took my vehicle to meineke for diagnostic. The warning code read transmission. Took it to the nissan dealer knoxville tn the next day and tech diagnosed problem as a failed transmission fluid cooler located in the radiator assembly that allowed coolant to mix with and contaminate the automatic transmission fluid, resulting in damaged internal transmission components and a damaged internal transmission computer. That week my car produced slowing of vehicle and times where engine would not crank. I ended up paying $3010. 35 (attached) to chip's transmission to get fixed. I contacted nissan north america regarding the issue and was provided documentation that after reviewing my case; they were unable to offer financial assistance because the vehicle was outside the new vehicle limited warranty. (attached) i found out a class action lawsuit was filed regarding this matter and the fix was an extended warranty. Per document if you miles were over 90k miles you were out of luck. Well luck plays no part in this matter as i had bought this vehicle used over 100k miles and was never notified. I had a warranty for 1 yr or 12000 miles when i bought was never notified. I feel like regardless of the mileage. This was a defective part that was installed by nissan dealership and was a known problem by consumers. This part should be replaced or recalled by nissan and that an ongoing investigation on the behalf of those consumer who had these vehicles should not have to pay for such extensive repairs or damages being that it is nissan's wrongful intentions. I have had to eat the cost of not only missing work but paying for rental car expenses for 14 days (attached) plus the parts/repair to this vehicle. F you would like to contact me regarding this matter.]
