Description of the problem	Fortunately i was simply attempting to back out of my driveway when the vehicle would not move. I read numerous horror stories of others who had this issue in the middle of the highway so i am very thankful that this did pose any further risk of injury especially since i am 9 months pregnant and was on my way to an ultrasound. After taking my suv in, we learned that anti-freeze was leaking into the transmission causing complete transmission failure and ultimately requiring a full transmission replacement. The cost is closing in on $4,000. Never did i receive any notification from nissan that this was possible and my xterra did not show any signs of concern. I started researching this problem online only to learn that i am one of many who have experienced this issue and at a hefty price with no help from nissan. I read online that nissan's answer to the problem was to extend the warranty to 80,000 miles but i have just recently passed that threshold. Furthermore, i have learned that this problem more often begins to present itself after 80,000 miles. I am appalled that this issue has not been investigated and more importantly been recalled since it could cause serious injury if not death. One thing is for sure, my husband and i will never purchase another nissan vehicle. I strongly feel that the nhtsa should analyze the way nissan is doing their business not to mention find a way to compensate every single customer who has suffered from this problem. Nissan should be ashamed of themselves and hopeful that no one gets seriously hurt should it occur in the wrong circumstances.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
