Description of the problem	Driving home from work my vehicle started to tremble and shudder at speeds above 30-40 mph. Eventually after much hesitation and loud engine revving i decided to pull over and turn the vehicle off. Turned it back on and got about a few hundred feet down the road when the same problem occurred. The transmission wasn't responsive with the engine causing me to cut someone off just to pull of the road safely. I have heard the common issue with nissan's transmission/coolant contamination and decided to look further into the issue after getting towed home. $100 down the drain. Sure enough my coolant reservoir and radiator cap were smothered in a thick goop known as the infamous "smod". There is trans fluid mixed into my coolant and more than likely, coolant in my transmission. This is design flaw in nissan. This problem should be resolved completely by nissan with no fault to their dedicated customers. Warranties need to be extended past 100k because that's when the issue is occurring in most xterra, pathfinder, and frontiers. I'll be damned if nissan only partially cover my cost repair leaving the bulk to me. I am a student working a full time job trying to pay for their education bit by bit. This is not what others in similar situation need to deal with and neither do i. Remember, nissan is only successful and wealthy because of us, the consumer. Give back to those who helped you build a reputable auto manufacturer.
