Description of the problem	Purchased a one owner nissan in late 2016 w/ approx. 85-86k miles on it. Got approx. 4-5 mths of use before it completely lost power & became inoperable(approx feb/march of 2017). My wife & i were driving home & basically lost all power w/o any warning. Thank god we were on a side road @ the time & were able to safely pull over. It has been parked since early 2017 & rendered useless.$9000 down the drain. Vehicle only has 89k miles on it & in immaculate shape inside&out. Now we're faced with the financial burden of a $4000+ transmission rebuild + ecm/tcm module replacement. My mechanic picked up on the problem immediately. He checked the radiator & it looked like strawberry milk. I owned 1 other nissan before this & can truly say i will never,ever own another. I felt very confident in the vehicle mechanically. But if i'd known about this defect i'd have never purchased it. Now i'm basically out $9000 or have a $4000+ repair to even be able to recoup any money & some of my losses. If i had any inkling of information about this defective part in nissan's i'd have never purchased it. I originally considered nissan a good car maker & ranked them closely w/ honda & toyota in performance & dependability. Needless to say. All that's now changed. I cannot believe the nhtsa did not demand that nissan publicly announce these issues as to protect the consumers & current owners. But i'd never heard a thing about it & i "work in automotive finance"!!! I will admit, nissan was successful in ripping many people off & without so much as an apology. Much less any potential financial assistance that they caused. Nissan needs to wake up & do right by their customers or they wont have them long. Trust me when i say. That day draws closer w/ every person who finds themselves in this similar situation. Thanks & i hope you do something about this injustice that was allowed to happen on your watch!!!!!!
