Description of the problem	While my wife and granddaughter were driving our 2006 nissan xterra on a highway, the transmission started to slip, not allowing the ability to maintain the proper safe posted driving speed. My wife had to pull over on the side of the road during heavy traffic, exposing both her, and my granddaughter to a safety hazard. The vehicle had to be towed, while they waited on the side of the road, getting picked up by a family member. Subsequently i learned of a known defect in nissan radiators that fail, and leak into the transmission, causing it to fail. Reportedly, it has been recognized the failures commonly occur around 90,000 miles, or a little over 2000 more miles than when this incident occurred. We were never notified of this potential defect, which should have involved a recall/warranty repair, rather than subjecting me, and my family, to this safety risk. I would assume there are many more vehicles in this same unsafe state today, awaiting the same development that occurred to my family. This matter needs to be addressed as soon as possible. Thanks.
