Description of the problem	On september 18, i took my nissan xterra tot he dealership and made an appointment because it had a horrible shifting vibration and was jumping in between gears. However, after making the appointment for the next day, i was rear-ended and had to have body repairs made. I got the car back. The vibration was still there, of course, because the vibration had nothing to do with the body. I was in town where the dealership is located on october 18. I was pulling out of a drive onto a busy road. No power, the car only moved with gravity rolling toward the road and the engine revved with the gas. I stopped quick enough to avoid rolling onto the road which has a 45 mile an hour speed limit where i was. I shut the car off. I started it back up and with my foot on the brake i ran the shifter through the gears. When i tried to accelerate, it had some power, but it was clearly diminished. I headed for the dealership. The car was jerking so hard that it clunked my teeth together and made my neck and back hurt. I got to the dealership. It appears that my radiator rusted or cracked and leaked the fluid into my transmission causing it to destroy my transmission. All total, the repairs would be about $6,300. The car sits at the dealership because i am unemployed and cannot pay that on a car that i have managed while being unemployed since february to continue $482. 58/mo payments on and having only 6 left!!! Nissan refuses to help me because i have over 100,000 miles on the car. How would they have liked it if i had rolled into traffic and gotten killed or hurt? And, the person from nissan consumer affairs told me that they had just extended the warranty to 100,000 because of this problem. So, they even know it is a major problem.
