Description of the problem	Upon turning a corner after coming to a complete stop at a stop sign in my neighborhood, i went to accelerate and match the speed of oncoming traffic. The gear failed to shift appropriately (transmission) and giving the car gas simply revved the engine. Luckily the approaching car responded well and slowed to avoid a rear collision while i eased off the pedal and then gently accelerated again to my local mechanic. Upon his examination of my 2006 xterra, he determined that the transmission fluid and coolant were mixing and destroying both my radiator and transmission. A quick search on the internet revealed that this dangerous problem is common among nissan owners! When i purchased the vehicle from smithtown nissan in 2010 and subsequently, there was absolutely no notification or recall regarding this dangerous hazard. This is unacceptable and life-threatening. There settlement of a class action lawsuit is insufficient (a $2500 - $3k) co-pay to replace the transmission and potentially have the same defect again! My wife and kids rely on my car every day and i feel fortunate that i did not wait any longer to have the car examined, but i am extremely disturbed by nissan's negligence.
