Description of the problem	I purchased my 2008 nissan xterra about 3 years ago and did not know about all the defects the transmission and radiator had. I am highly disappointed with this nissan. It left me stalled in the middle of the road just suddenly with no warning. Worst part was that it was in the middle of the night with a party of 5. The conditions were unsafe and had to wait for daylight to be able to be towed. Its is very unfortunate that i can not do anything about this bad vehicle and it will cost me close to 4k to have my vehicle repaired. At this point im just still in debt since i have not finished paying this off and car less. Its very unfortunate that nissan will not take any responsibility for the horrible and unstable vehicle they created.
