Description of the problem	Transmission fluid and coolant mixing. Poor and dangerous design. Took the car to the dealership several time with them like they never heard of the issues(shuttering when climbing on a slight incline, losing power, over heating) after complaining they change the radiator, rear axle, and transmission. This was at 99,295 miles on the odometer. The repairs took a month to complete. Now less then a year and at 128,000 miles on the odometer, it is happening again!!! Also the extended warranty is over. The dealership is now saying that it is not their problem. Now i have to pay $1200 to change my radiator so i can drive this time bomb. And they suggested that i change the transmission again for $8,000!!! I will never buy nissan again. I guess i will drive it until it dies. Searched online and found out that this is a known issue. Nhtsa, what are you waiting for to call a recall???
