Description of the problem	I noticed a vibrating noise when i would reach 40-50mph. It sounded like i was driving on a rumble strip but was not. One day i pulled out into traffic and my transmission slipped, had my gas pedle to the floor but i was barely moving. I had to swirve into the ditch to avoid getting rear ended! I took it to my nissan dealship to have a diagnositc test done. They called and told me that there was a defect in the radiator causing fluid to leak into the transmission. The estimated cost will be about $1500, to replace my radiator and flush the fluids twice. They stated that this will be a 80-85% chance this would temporaraly fix the problem, but with them not really knowing how much damage there is to my transmission that if this doesn't correct the problem that i would need to replace my trasmission meaning an additional $5,000. I have searched on-line and found out on a website (carcomplaints. Com) that there are many other people out there with my same problem. Nissan is very aware of this defect in the radiator and has done nothing about it. My warrenty ran out in april and the warrenty on the radiator ended at 80,000 miles. I am in a huge bind not knowing what to do. Being a single mom i am very tight on money. I would hope that there are enough complaints for nissan to recall all nissan xterra 2005 for radiator defects. I am keeping my fingers crossed and praying for a miracle. *tt
