Description of the problem	I was noticing a difference in the shifting of my vehicle and took it to a transmission specialist who discovered i had radiator fluid mixed in with my transmission fluid. I was told my radiator needed to be replaced and the transmission flushed, which may or may not solve the problem. There was hope this would work as i caught the problem early and never had a service code pop up. I paid $1110 for this work. Subsequently i contacted my nissan dealer who told me it was related to the radiator problem that nissan had extended the warranty on. I contacted nissan and made a claim for reimbursement and for the problem to be rectified completely. Nissan advised me to take the vehicle to the dealer at my own expense for a diagnosis. The nissan dealer verified that indeed my problem was due to the radiator issue and my transmission needs to be replaced. I contacted the manufacturer again and when i told them this i was told my vehicle had surpassed the extended warranty of 80,000 miles and they would not assist. During my research, i have discovered that most of the people with the same problem were also over the 80,000 miles granted by nissan. My transmission completely stopped shifting and is parked in my driveway. I feel the extended warranty notice sent by nissan was very misleading. It stated a "radiator issue" which in no way identifies that is only the culprit and not that the transmission will be impacted and rendered useless. It would have been such an easier option to replace a radiator and continue to have transportation, then to have a lawn ornament. By the way... Why was there never a service code light that alerted to the problem?
