Description of the problem	Suddey i found my heat not working. Strange, i was low on coolant and no visible leaks. While researching this i came across all the complaints of transmission failure due to the defective welds on the atf cooler within the radiator. I immediately went to dealer and had everything checked out and pressure tested for leaks. They said all is fine and tested ok, we have no idea why you would be low on coolant. Mind you, at this point there is 79k on the odometer and we all know nissans lame warranty extension is useless due to the convenient mileage cap completely and obviously is in their best interest. Appalling and 100% a safety issue and complete negligence. In an effort to be pro active i ordered an aftermarket radiator and installed it myself. I also flushed and refilled tranny fluid. I am now about to break 100k. I'm now worried about the timing chain issue nissan also doesn't want to deal with. Anyone reading this should be pro active and change out your radiator and flush your transmission immediately, it's all you can do right now to prevent a bigger issue. It also cost me $400 to do myself. The quote from the dealer was $1500. Good luck to all, i argued and called and called and nissan could care less and wouldn't even consider any help whatsoever . This was my wife and i's 5th nissan. Never again!!!!!!
