That sounds like the **Titan radiator transmission cooler leak** issue — it's a known defect on Nissan Titan/Frontier/Xterra from 2005–2010.

Internal radiator failure cross-contaminates coolant and transmission fluid (the 'strawberry milkshake' problem), destroying the transmission. Class action settled.
