Description of the problem	My 2006 nissan xterra would lunge forward when i was traveling at 40-45 mph. It would first jerk forward when i would go from slowly moving to accelerating, like when you began to move after sitting at a red light. The light turns green, you slowly start to move and then you press the gas to accelerate and the car would jerk forward. Then the car had problems shifting out of 1st gear before i was about to get on the interstate after leaving work. I decided to take the back route because i did not want to have an accident. I stopped at 2 mechanics on the way home. Each told me i would have to take the car to the dealer. I was able to get the car to the dealer and was then told that the radiator and the transmission needed to be fixed as there was a mix of the radiator and transmission fluid due to a leak and it would cost $5050. I was totally shocked! I had not any other major problems and the vehicle was checked regularly. I specifically asked the asm guy, who checked in my vehicle and told me the specifics of what was going on after the technician looked at it, was this a common occurrence and his response was, "it happens but better than buying a new car." it just didn't make sense. I then had my vehicle towed to a transmission repair shop because it would not shift into first gear. This is when i was told of the radiator leaks with subsequent transmission failure. The mechanic said he has had numerous nissans with transmission failures and even finding a used or rebuilt nissan is extremely difficult to find now. I am just extremely blessed that i did not cause an accident by either ramming into another car or the car just stopping on the middle of the interstate during rush-hour traffic. If i nissan could have notified owners by mail or during a service check, i could have had the defect fixed before this happened. Please reimburse owners for this cars defect.
