Description of the problem	I purchased my vehicle brand new in 2007 and have had it regularly maintained since this time. I was driving down the highway at about 60 mph, when the vehicle began to shake violently. I was in fairly heavy traffic and had difficulty maintaining control of the vehicle as i struggled to pull it to the side of the road. I had it towed into my local dealership who informed me that the radiator had cracked and coolant had worked it's way into the transmission. I am being told that i need to replace the radiator and transmission which will cost me $5500 in parts and labor. In addition to this, transmissions for this vehicle are on backorder and i must wait even longer for the repairs. Of course, i have 95,000 miles on the vehicle and that means i am outside of the warranty coverage. My biggest complaint is that this problem is likely a manufacturer defect and seriously puts owners at risk of injury or even death. I wish nissan would be more accommodating in reimbursing the repairs and warning owners about this problem in the future.
