2006 Nissan XTERRA Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1376946
Internal NHTSA #	10984670
Manufacurer	Nissan North America, Inc.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	XTERRA
Model Year	2006
File date	26/04/17
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Radiator failed internally and allowed transmission fluid to to mix with coolant and circulate through the transmission, destroying both the radiator and transmission. This happened suddenly on a a very busy highway and caused the total loss of propulsion. This endangered me due to the fast moving vehicles around that didn't know why i was slowing to a stop in traffic and i was very lucky to not be run over. Cost of repair is at least $6,000, dealer price is more like $7,000 this happened when my xterra only had 110,970 miles and with no warning at all. This is total loss of the vehicle since it doesn't make any sense to repair at this price a vehicle with less resale value than the cost of the repair. I've attached pictures of a repair estimate and the "strawberry milkshake" looking mix of transmission fluid and radiator coolant that resulted.
