I was traveling at approx. 35 mph when the car shuddered violently for a second or two, all panel lights lit up and everything completely shut down while going through a very busy 6-lane intersection. All steering, brakes, and maneuverability were lost. I was lucky to coast to a safe spot and if this had happened on an interstate it may have easily been catastrophic. The dealer found a failed cam shaft sensors (their verbiage on the bill). Replaced both and the crank sensor.

Defective factory radiator led to mixing of trans fluid and coolant causing contamination and vehicle failure. Problem initially exposed while driving vehicle on highway at 50mph. Vehicle lost power and stalled while driving at this speed. Had I been an inexperienced driver, like many out there, this failure could have easily resulted in serious injury, or even death, of myself and my children, as well as, other drivers of the highway! this was the first indication of any problems with my vehicle. All maintenance was, and is, up to date. All fluids are routinely checked with no indication of leaks. Researching this problem, I found that it is extremely common in various models of Nissan between years of 2005-2015! how hasn't this been recalled yet, especially considering that NHTSA has already investigated it" it is not a coincidence that all of these vehicle experience the same problem! my vehicle has been repaired at Nissan dealership, with no assistance from Nissan. $5086 to replace the transmission and radiator, and hook the same defective system back up to inevitably fail again. With no doubt that it will occur after the 12 month warranty period expires. It is your responsibility to keep consumers safe from the corner-cutting, cost-cutting companies. This faulty radiator is causing serious problems. Not only does it cost thousands to fix temporarily, but it is endangering lives. Does someone need to die for it to be considered a safety issue, and recalled? or, is Nissan paying you more than the potential ramifications you face when someone is badly injured or killed"
