Description of the problem	Monday june 2 my husband told me something was wrong with his 05 xterra. He said it sounded like it was driving on rumble strips in the road. We went online to find that there have been several complaints brought against nissan for folks experiencing the same issue. We contacted our local nissan dealer. I spoke with [xxx] and he informed me that there is a known issue with 05 xterra's where the radiator fluid leaks into the transmission which will in turn cause the engine to cease. He then indicated to me that there was a class action law suit that settled back in jan 2013 that if the vehicle was under 100,000 miles all would be covered all but $3,000. That's what we would have to pay to have this fixed knowing that this is a defect on the vehicle that nissan has known about as it effects 2005-2010 xterra's, pathfinders and frontiers. Yet its us that has to pay out of pocket this astronomical amount of money. Anyone over 100,000 miles would have to pay in full which ranges $7000 - $10,000 depending on the state you live in. You can't tell me that this is how a company stands by their name. This was literally almost a total loss on this vehicle but luckily enough we were 300 miles under the 100,000 mark. How is this ok to charge folks these prices for something that is a defect on the company. To date, we were never notified nor was a recall ever put into place. There are thousands of folks filing complaints on this matter. We should not have to have this worry how we will come up with this amount of money and by all means we should not have to borrow from 401k's to afford what we rightfully did not damage ourselves. I will never, we will never purchase another nissan again because they did not stand by their name. All we are asking is that something be done to return our money that we so rightfully shouldn't have had to put out. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.
