Description of the problem	i was traveling on the interstate when my nissan xterra fell on it's face, so to speak. It was like i hit the brakes and thank god no one was directly behind me. A few short moments later it regained power and sounded like i was running on the rumble strips. It seemed fine for awhile but went to pull out in traffic and it just all but came to a stop and jumped forward suddenly. I all but made it home and pulled into my garage and with my foot on the brake it jumped forward almost taking out my wall. After talking to a few friends i knew the problem was from the transmission cooler going bad and mixing anti-freeze with transmission fluid. After researching i found i wasn't alone, hundreds of people have posted the same problems. After talking to my wife's cousin she had a nissan pathfinder with same tranny and when hers went out she lost control of her vehicle and went into the interstate median strip. I dropped it off and hamilton nissan today and nothing is probably going to be covered. I am upset because i was almost in an accident because of this. Nissan has known about this for awhile but has done nothing. It is a clear safety issue when you just feel like you stomped on your brakes on the interstate, and pray someone doesn't hit you in the rear end. I have a 3 year old son and i don't feel safe having him in that trap.
