2005 Nissan XTERRA Power Train Automatic Transmission Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I was entering onto the freeway about 60mph when the vehicle started vibrating violently. I wasn't sure if i blew a tire or hit something and i instinctively braked hard and drove onto the shoulder of the road. I inspected the front end and could not determine what had gone wrong. I drove at minimum posted speed to the next ramp and exited. On a dirt road on the way home the vibration and shaking started again at around 40mph. When i slowed down the shaking stopped. I nursed the car home. I learned later there is a defect in the transmission of this model caused by radiator fluid leaking into the transmission which corrodes the components. I never received a recall or other notice from nissan. This is a dangerous condition because it causes the driver to take immediate and severe action as it feels like a catastrophic failure of some sort. At high speeds it could cause an accident. *kb
