A number of people have stated that they want to take legal action, including a class action lawsuit.

Give us lots of money to fix it!".

Does this really seem unreasonable? This is just Nissan being opportunistic and trying to mitigate warranty costs by pushing them on to the customer...
Under federal law, Nissan cannot void the entire vehicle warranty if an oil cooler is installed.

If you have a tranny problem I doubt that Nissan will try to blame that on an oil cooler. Even many engine problems, such as an ignition problem, could not be blamed on an oil cooler being installed. But there are many problems that most certainly will be blamed on the oil cooler - and that's what you should expect.
