Description of the problem	I was traveling to work that morning. I live on top of a mountain so i was going down a mountain. I started to hear a grinding sound between 40-60 mph. Then the vehicle began to shake. When i would slow down it began to stop. I got to work and when the technician looked at vehicle he stated the coolant had mixed with transmission fluid. I am in the car business so i knew that this was major damage. I called a local nissan dealer and to my surprise learned that this is a well know issue with this vehicle. I am very upset and this could have caused a major accident being on a mountain and having the transmission go out. I have taken very good care of this vehicle and am very displeased with the service. I wrote a complaint to nissan north america and the only reply i received wa to tell me about an open recall on the vehicle. Well since the vehicle can't be driven i guess that recall will have to wait. I did replace the radiator and flushed the transmission several times in hopes that it would save the transmission but so sorry to say i still have the shutter and vibration at 40 -60 mph. The extended warranty that nissan has come up with is a laugh! Most complaint i have seen the consumer has problems well after 100000 miles and why should the consumer pay anything on a defected part that caused the damage. Shame on nissan!
