Description of the problem	2005 nissan xterra faulty radiator destroys transmission. I have a 2005 nissan xterra which i purchased new in january of 2006. My transmission just failed and i was informed that the radiator fluid was mixed with the transmission fluid because the radiator failed. The system began stalling on sunday and as i pressed the gas the rpm would increase but the car would not accelerate. I took the car to the nissan dealer on monday and they thought it was not the transmission but the ipdm. It worked for them fine and i was able to drive it home fine. As i attempted to drive to work on tuesday the same thing happened. I managed to get the car to my driveway. On wednesday i barely made it to the nissan dealer and the by the time i arrived the car would no longer go in drive or reverse. I received a call stating that it was the transmission and upon further inquiry learned that the radiator had gone out and leaked fluid into the transmission - at no fault of my own. I've since done some research and see that this has happened to many people that own the 2005 nissan xterra. This is obviously a major problem for nissan that has not been addressed. I certainly don't have 5k to repair a car that i am still paying a note on.
