Description of the problem	I have a 2006 nissan xterra and driving my car it started driving like in neutral so i had my car towed and the shop told me there was a crack in the radiator hose that caused fluid to go into transmission and ruined it. I had my car towed to a nissan dealer and they said yes they knew about this and had issued an extended warranty to 80,000 miles my car has 100,000 miles on it so it wouldn't be covered. I felt since they clearly had a design flaw in the radiator hose connection that could cause the transmission to give out and be dangerous it should have been a recall issue. It shouldn't matter how many miles you have on the car it was a defective design by nissan and should have been corrected. All you have to do is search on the internet and you will find many many pages of complaints about this issue. I find it hard to believe that a car company could be aware of a design flaw that is more likely to occur than not but not stand behind the vehicle and take care of it regardless the miles. It is over $5,000 to fix and it is wrong for nissan not to have recalled this. Why when it is repaired does the new radiator have a different hose connection?? Because they know it was a defective design first time around. Just wrong, i will never buy another nissan again. *kb
