Description of the problem	Two years ago my 2005 nissan xterra began rattling, shaking and not heating when idling. I took it for diagnostics at my mechanic he thought it may be a u joint or tire problem. Recently, this problem is getting worse. I took it to the dealer after searching the nissan website which has recently posted an extension of the radiator/transmission warranty due to the many reported problems of radiator fluid leaking into the transmission and destroying the transmission. My xterra has 84000 miles on it. I was just told by nissan that they will rebuild the transmission due to the defective manufacturing, however i must pay a co pay of 2500. 00 dollars since i am over the 80,000 miles. This is ridiculous. They say it is dangerous for me to driver if i don't pay to replace it. Why isn't this a recall item ? How can anyone justify not recalling a defective radiator/transmission on a car with less that 100,000 miles on it ? This must be stopped. Nissan must be forced to make right the defective engineering used in it's automobiles. The customer who paid full price for a new car should not have to bear any of the cost for this defective and dangerous workmanship.
