2006 Nissan XTERRA Engine And Engine Cooling Cooling System Radi Problems, Complaints and Defects

Description of the problem	On 9/13/2013 i took my vehicle to alan webb nissan to investigate some transmission slipping that i had experienced the previous day. On 9/16/2013 i was informed that my transmission had become contaminated with radiator coolant and my transmission and radiator would have to be replace at the cost of $5300. 00 plus applicable tax. I was further informed that this was known problem with this generation vehicle but that nissan only provided repair assistance for vehicles with less than 100k miles on them and i was therefor required to pay the full amount. It was only later through online research that i discovered that a class action lawsuit had been the only reason they provided any repair assistance. I also noted that the vastt majority of reported cases were for vehicles over the 100k mark. 1. If this was a known defect that affected millions of vehicles why wasn't nissan forced to perform a recall and replace the radiators. 2. Why was i not as a minimum informed of the defect when i purchased the vehicle with 74k miles on it. With less than 80k on them nissan would repair the problem at their cost. 3. If the problems are not as a rule happening to vehicles until they go over 100k miles then why cap the assistance requirement. 4. Now that it is recognized by the courts as a known failure why are the consumers paying anything to do these repairs whn it could have been avoided with a $200. 00 radiator and an hours labor. I find this very dishonest that nissan was not forced by the courts or the nhtsa to do a full recall or disclosure to owners. If so many vehicles are on the road which can have a major transmission failure at any time why hasn't the nhtsa forced nissan to do something about it? This may not be as hazardous as fuel tanks rupturing but i would think that a vehicle that has a transmission failure at highway speeds should be of concern. *js
