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

Issue ID	1006333
Internal NHTSA #	10537384
Manufacurer	Nissan North America, Inc.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	XTERRA
Model Year	2006
File date	23/08/13
Component	ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Transmission started to slip abruptly and with imminent failure. Checked complaints and discovered a well known issue with transmission/radiator fluids intermixing due to a failure in the transmission cooler. Mechanic verified this was my problem as well. Nissan quoted $8500 repair. Service adviser at nissan north (ohio) confirmed that this is a very common problem. Apparently nissan acknowledged this in a class action lawsuit settlement in 2012 but did not notify any of the owners of potential failure without any previous symptoms. I had my car serviced at the dealer 3 months prior and they did not notice/notify me of any potential issues. Transmission failed on a trip to new york. I'm looking at a repair bill that potentially exceeds the value of my automobile. Nissan has a moral and a implicit obligation to notify owners of problems such as this. This should have been a recall, as it would have prevented the failure and saved numerous owners outrageous repair bills and possible loss of vehicle.
