Description of the problem	July 2006 i purchased a new nissan xterra. October 2008 at approx. 58,000 miles the transmission failed. The transmission "slipped" as i made a left turn. The vehicle momentarily stopped in front of on coming traffic. Traffic stopped for me. At that time the vehicle moved forward. I initially thought that this was an isolated incident but over the next few days the problem worsened. On october 30th i took the vehicle to ricart nissan. An initial check showed a foreign substance in the transmission fluid, the service person accused me of putting oil in the transmission and stated that nissan would send the fluid to a laboratory for testing. Approx 6 days later i received a call from the dealership stating nissan would replace the transmission free of charge. At 60,000 miles or a month or so later my vehicle warranty expired. The vehicle never really ran correctly after that; heavy shifting, vehicle would not warm up when stationary. I made several follow up calls to the dealership but each time i was advised that vehicle was out of warranty, or over 60,000 miles. At that point i just dealt with the rough running rough shifting vehicle. Move ahead to may 2014. Once again the vehicle's transmission slipped while turning almost causing me to have an accident. At this point i began researching my vehicle and found out that transmission problems, more specifically coolant leaking into the transmission causing failure was an on going problem, i had the vehicle inspected at pickerington ohio goodyear. Coolant was present in the transmission. At that time i notified my dealership and nissan of my issue. Nissan stated that due to the vehicle age (175,000 miles) they could not assist me; nissan reference number #[xxx]. I believe this is just as much a safety issue as a mechanical issue. If the transmission fails when turning in front of traffic an accident could take place. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
