Description of the problem	My 2008 nissan xterra starting shifting rough over the past couple weeks. I dropped it off to the nissan dealer this morning and recevied a call stating radiator and transmission needs to be replaced due to engine coolant leaking into transmission. Was told this was a familiar issue so i researched and see there is pending claim open since june 11 2012: how many vehichles are needed before the recall is passed. I was just quoted $10,000 to replace radiator and transmission. I do not have 10k and i rely on my vehicle for work as i am a hospice nurse. This is causing me serious stress as i need my vehicle for work.
