Description of the problem	We have an 2006 nissan xterra and the radiator leaked into the transmission and caused a cross contamination. We had to replace the radiator and have the transmission rebuilt. We participated in the nissan class action lawsuit, but unfortunately we received a denial letter in the mail earlier this week because we were over 100,000 miles. I am highly disappointed with nissan for being so greedy and not taking responsibility over this issue. This problem happened to occur the winter of 2011 when i would go out to start the car and it would blow cold air and never heat up unless the car was running. If i was to sit at red lights the car would blow cold air again. That spring i noticed the car jerking and driving a little rough but didn't think much about it because we had just replaced the universal c joint back that prior fall. The summer of 2011 and at first i noticed the rpm's revving up but the car wouldn't go anywhere. Then the air went out and would cool down the car. Meanwhile i am driving my kids around in a car with no ac in 100 summer heat and humidity. Eventually the car got so bad it wouldn't run. It would rev up but go no where. I finally took it into a shop when i noticed it leaking a reddish, brown/green fluid. Come to find out there was cross contamination between the radiator and the transmission. I had been driving months with this car like this it really messed up my xterra. It cost me $4500 to fix this issue on top of many inconveniences. I't super disappointed in nissan for not recalling this faulty part they knew about. Apparently a letter was sent out asking customers to bring the cars in to be checked. We never received this letter. All i want is nissan to fess up and pay hard working people back the money they owe them. My xterra was paid off and i had to sink $4500 into a 6 year old car. Nissan has lost a customer for life. Ill never buy another.
