Description of the problem	Back in january our 2006 nissan xterra, on occasion, started making a sound like it was running over several road bumps. It would stop shortly thereafter. I took it to our family mechanic thinking it was a u-joint or something along those lines. He couldn't figure it out. It began to happen a bit more often so we stopped driving it until our house sold. Finally, the house sold and when we were bringing it to our new condo it overheated. We had it towed to nissan who informed us that the transmission fluid had cross contaminated with the radiator fluid, destroying both. The estimate was over $14,000. The service person informed me that nissan was having problems with this and a couple of other makes. Now it is in a class action suit, and my car sits while i continue to pay it off. What can i do to join the lawsuit? This is clearly a situation that nissan needs to fix. I would never had bought the car if i had known there was even the most remote chance that this could happen. They have stated they "can't" do anything until the lawsuit is resolved. Its unfathomable to me that they simply wouldn't have these cars fixed during each and every incident. Thank you for your help.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
