Description of the problem	My 2006 nissan xterra started shaking violently while driving at 40mph all of a sudden, to the point i thought i hit something or was dragging a branch, i stop to find nothing and kept on driving, and the cart did it again, so scared of going any faster and loosing control. I took it to the dealership and they informed me that due to a design flaw cracked radiators are causing coolant to leak into the transmission and mix with the transmission fluid. Once the coolant (antifreeze) is in the transmission it kills the valves, seals and torque converter and eventually renders the entire transmission useless. It seems to be a common occurrence on '05-'06 xterra. But i was never informed nor other xterra owners. To correct this i have to replace the radiator & transmission at an outrageous price. Although nissan hasn't conducted a recall or acknowledger there's a problem, they did extend the power train warranty from 60k to 80k. My vehicle has 94k miles, so i'm hoping my extended warranty covers it. This is very dangerous, imagine driving at 60mph and loosing control due to strong shaking. I just cant believe with the overwhelming amount of people complaining they haven't started a recall.
