Description of the problem	Like many other xterra of this year, the radiator was faulty and leaked antifreeze into the transmission. Consequently i had to replace the radiator, have it serviced for 1177. 00 dollars and then was told by the dealership that it was not covered because it was not a safety recall even with a high failure rate for this model. Thinking the radiator was the root cause of the vehicle driving problems i was assured nothing else was wrong with the xterra. I continued to research this problem as i had continued trouble with the transmission and being towed several times. I was told that the radiator leaked antifreeze into the transmission rendering it inoperative and needing a full replacement. I then paid 3550. 00 for a new transmission. Again, i was told by nissan that this was not covered by any warranty and that they were aware of the problem with this model and year. After more research, i discovered there was thousands of people complaint of the same issue and nissan telling their customers that it was out of there hands and not in high enough incidence for a recall. I understand that there is a class action lawsuit for customers to be repaid for these repairs and my family and i hope nissan does the right thing and pay their customers back for their mistake and faulty parts.
