Description of the problem	My 2005 nissan xterra started having some problems early in july. On or about july 5 i was pulling onto highway 30 in montgomery illinois. There was oncoming traffic. I pushed the gas and proceeded to merge on to the highway. The car moved very slowly almost causing an accident. I pulled over out of traffic and rested car for approx 5min. When i began to accelerate again the car performed normally. I took to a mechanic who stated that the radiator fluids had mixed with the transmission fluids causing the transmission to slip and fail. After hearing this i went online and observed that over 500 people have also experienced the same problem and that it is a defect in the manufacturing of all 2005-2010 trucks and suv's. I have asked nissan to repair my car at their expense since it is a problem they knew about. They first stated they did not send me the original info on this problem because they did not know i owned the car. This is not true. They had previously sent me information about a tow bar issue/recall and a nissan dealer in san jose ca fixed that problem. I believe that nissan intentionally did not inform owners because they wanted the mileage to exceed what they were offering (80,000). Had i known i would have had my truck looked at long before the mileage expired. What happened to me could happen to a family and if they were to pull into ongoing traffic an accident would certainly occur. This is very dangerous and nissan needs to do the right thing. I appreciate you opening an investigation on this and hope you get results before someone dies.
