Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Cracked radiator leaked coolant into the transmission cooler destroying the transmission, transmission cooler, and radiator at about 109,000 miles in traffic. Apparently, this is a know issue with 2005-2010 nissan xterras, frontiers, and pathfinders. As part of a settlement to a class-action lawsuit, nissan offered an extended warranty up to 10 years / 100,000 miles, whichever comes first (although an internet search says the average mileage at which this problem occurs is 95,000 miles). Nissan nor its dealership never notified me of the defect or the extended warranty so now i'm trying to decide if i fork out $6100 for the repairs or trade-in the vehicle.
