Description of the problem	In january 2012 one morning i was driving at hwy speed on the freeway when out of nowhere lost total power. I stepped on the gas and my truck went from 60 to 10 miles an hour. Thank god it was close to an off reap and i was able to get off the freeway. I took the car to nearest auto repair shop. After examination of transmission they found large amount of white subtend in the transmission fluid but they could not determine what that was. Next day i drove the truck to nissan dealer and they told me that because of the defect in the radiator the anti-freeze was leaking to the transmission and causing it to seize and both components need to immediate replacement. The mechanic told me that the failure is a known problem and that is occurs with no warning, no engine light, no noticeable deterioration of performance, it just happens. He said that in a worst-case scenario, the vehicle? S transmission could seize causing an immediate stop and loss of control. Since i was not in any position to pay for this repair, i took my truck home and try to contact nissan for help. On january 16, i contact the nissan consumer affairs again and requested an exception to the 80k miles limitation. Nissan consumer affairs took 2 weeks to review my case before denying it. The failure of nissan to stand behind their products, particularly when the problem represents a serious safety concern and attributable to a design flaw, is inexcusable. Nissan denies that there is a safety concern, whereas they should have acknowledged responsibility for their error and issued a recall.
