Description of the problem	On saturday december 18, 2010 i noticed a vibration in my 2005 nissan xterra. The following monday i took it to a dealer for service. I was told that my radiator had failed and that it had leaked coolant into my transmission, causing both components to need immediate replacement. The mechanic told me that the failure is a known problem and that it occurs with no warning... No check engine light, no noticeable deterioration of performance, it just happens. He said that in a worst-case scenario, the vehicle's transmission could seize causing an immediate stop and loss of control. When the problem occurred on my xterra, i was on the interstate traveling 60-70mph. Nissan knows about this problem and has extended the warranty on the radiator by 20,000 miles (to 80k from 60k) but they refuse to issue a recall even though this problem affects all of their mid-sized trucks and suvs manufactured in 2005. Furthermore, nissan issued this extension to dealerships and not directly to consumers. I was never notified of the change or any potential problem. As such, i have been driving a ticking time-bomb that luckily did not go off and harm myself or my family.
