2006 Nissan Pathfinder Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE CONTACT NOTICED THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY. AFTER FUELING THE VEHICLE THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE RADIATOR HAD LEAKED WATER INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. AS A RESULT, THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION UNDER NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: DP12004 (POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: TORQUE CONVERTER POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: COOLING UNIT AND LINES POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM)) THAT MAY BE RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

OUR PATHFINDER HAS FAILED AND BEEN "REPAIRED" 7 TIMES NOW FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. IT'S RELATED TO THE ISSUE ABOUT THE FUEL SENDING UNITS. I WAS EVEN ALSO TOLD BY NISSAN THAT THE SENDING UNIT WAS REPLACED BEFORE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 22K MILES. TO DATE NO LESS THAN 3 UNITS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED (INCLUDING THE NEWLY DESIGNED ONE 2X ) TO ADDRESS PLASTIC GAS TANK ISSUES. ON THREE OCCASIONS WE'VE RUN OUT OF FUEL. IT REGISTERS 1/2 TANK AND THEN WE RUN OUT. OR IT IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE 1/2 TANK AND THEN DROPS TO E AND THE EMPTY FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. THIS WHOLE THING HAS PASSED THE INSANE LEVEL. ONCE I HAD TO PAY 400+ FOR REPAIRS AS THE WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE WAS EXPIRED. I TRIED TO ARGUE IT WAS COVERED UNDER PREVIOUS REPAIRS BUT THAT'S LIKE SPITTING IN THE WIND (NISSAN AS WELL AS THE DEALER COWELS NISSAN). SINCE THE LAST "REPAIR" A FEW MONTHS AGO IT HAS ALSO FAILED 4 MORE TIMES. WE'RE JUST IN THE HABIT OF USING THE TRIP METER. FIRST QUESTION IS THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU POTENTIALLY COULD JUST RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE INTERSTATE. ALSO WITH ALL THESE ERRORS IN THE COMPUTER THE VEHICLE WON'T PASS STATE SAFETY INSPECTIONS. LAST TIME NISSAN REFUSED TO REPLACE THE SENDER UNIT OR AUTHORIZE ANY REPAIRS OR PAY FOR A LOANER VEHICLE. THEY CLAIMED THE MECHANIC DROVE IT HOME AND FOUND NO ERRORS...IS THERE SOMETHING YOU CAN HELP OUT WITH THIS ISSUE. WITH ALL THESE REPAIRS ALL THESE PARTS / LABOR WARRANTIED FOR 12M / 12,000 MILES. WHY ARE THEY NOT HELPING? CAN SOMEONE ASSIST US HERE ? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE TRANSMISSION IS SHOT! *TR

CAR STALLED AT RED LIGHT, SMOKING FROM HOOD TOOK TO MECHANICS ADVISED OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE, LEAKING BROWN STUFF. *TR

I WAS ROLLING INTO A SPOT OFF THE PAVED ROAD ON TO A GRAVELED SPACE (PINE NEEDLES, ROCKS AND DIRT) IN ORDER TO MAKE A THREE POINT TURN. BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I JAMMED ON THE BRAKES BUT THE CAR KEPT ROLLING DOWN SLOWLY AND I CRASHED INTO A TREE. MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND I SUFFERED SOME MINOR BURNS AND BRUISING. THE VEHICLE SUFFERED MINOR BUMPER DAMAGE BUT WHY DID MY AIRBAGS DEPLOY AT ONLY 8 MILES PER HOUR. I AM AT A LOSS THAT THIS HAPPENED. I JUST ADDED NEW BRAKES THE WEEK BEFORE. BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON I 20 HWY IN ATL ! I WAS GOING TO PICKUP MY KIDS FROM SIX FLAGS AMUSEMENT PARK. I WAS DRIVING IN THE CENTER LANE, AND OUT OF THE CLEAR BLUE, MY CAR CUTOFF,AND INDICATED A SLIP LIGHT COME ON ! I WAS LUCKY THE CARS AROUND ME DID ALLOW ME TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ! WHEN I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO PULL OVER,I BEGAN TO START MY CAR BACKUP,AND SURPRISINGLY IT DID START BACKUP. I WAS ABLE TO PICKUP MY KIDS,AND I DID DRIVE NO FASTER THAN 60 MILES AN HOUR WHEN I DID TAKE MY DAUGHTER'S FRIENDS HOME ! THIS SURPRISE INCIDENT,COULD HAVE TAKEN MY LIFE EASILY ! THANKS TO OTHER DRIVERS BEING SURPRISINGLY ACCOMMODATING AND LETTING ME PULL OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT MY CAR HAVING ANY POWER ! *TR

WHILE ACCELERATING DOWN MAIN HIGHWAY IN MASSACHUSETTS MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR , JERKED REPEATEDLY AND THEN CAUGHT AGAIN SURGING FORWARD. THIS PROCESS REPEATED ITS SELF FOR THE FOLLOWING 5 MILES UNTIL COULD SAFELY GET IT OFF THE HIGHWAY. *TR

THERE WAS A LINE OF CARS AND I TRIED TO STOP AND THE BRAKES STARTED TO MAKE A SOUND AND DOESNT RESPOND I MADE A LEFT TURN AND IT STOPPED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A WEEKEND VACATION IN OCEAN CITY, MD WITH 2 OF MY CHILDREN IN MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. APPROXIMATELY 45 MINUTES INTO THE DRIVE ON ROUTE 1 IN DE, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY 'JUMPED' AND THEN SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND THEN PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IF NOT, WE COULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY ANY VEHICLES THAT WERE BEHIND US. FOR A BRIEF TIME, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO SLOWLY DRIVE IN 1ST GEAR AND PULL INTO A PARKING LOT OF A GAS STATION/CONVENIENCE STORE. I COULDN'T GET IT TO GO BACK INTO DRIVE AFTER THAT POINT. WE THEN HAD TO WAIT 2 1/2 HOURS TO BE PICKED UP BY MY HUSBAND. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP AND DIAGNOSED AS NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE PRICE QUOTED WAS EXTREMELY HIGH (PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY KNEW WE WERE OUT OF STATE), SO WE OPTED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO OUR TOWN OF RESIDENCE TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP. THE SHOP INDICATED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM MANY TIMES IN 2005-2007 NISSAN PATHFINDERS. THE RADIATOR CRACKS, AND THE COOLANT LEAKS INTO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH ENDS UP DESTROYING THE TRANSMISSION. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN DEFECT. $6000 LATER, I NOW HAVE A REPAIRED NISSAN PATHFINDER. NISSAN NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THESE KNOWN ISSUES. THEY ALSO NEED TO REIMBURSE CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THESE ISSUES AND HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET. *TR

OUR 2006 PATHFINDER'S RADIATOR WENT OUT, SOMETHING JUST POPPED AND FLUIDS JUST STARTED LEAKING OUT, IN JULY OF 2012 AT UNDER 90,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD FLUIDS MIXED AND COULD HAVE POSSIBLY CAUSED TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. GOT THE RADIATOR REPLACED AND WAS TOLD IF THE TRANSMISSION STARTS ACTING UP, IT WOULD NEED REPLACED. LATER I GOT THE NOTICE OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. SINCE I SPENT LESS THAN THE CO-PAY, THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO. NOW, MY RADIATOR NEEDS REPLACING AGAIN, ALONG WITH MY TRANSMISSION, BUT I'M JUST OVER THE 100,000 MILES OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, AS OF MAY 2013. I WENT THROUGH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, GOT TO THE EXECUTIVE LEVEL, AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME SINCE I WAS OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN I WAS GOING TO NEED MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED I WOULD HAVE HAD IT DONE WHEN THE RADIATOR WENT OUT THE FIRST TIME, NOW AFTER IT WAS "FIXED" AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP, IT FAILS AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT REQUIRES A NEW TRANSMISSION. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH THE RADIATORS THEY ARE INSTALLING, I'LL BE ON MY 3RD ONE NOW, AND IT'S CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSIONS. IF MY FIRST PROBLEM DIDN'T HAPPEN TILL AFTER THE 100,00 EXTENDED WARRANTY IT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT STORY, BUT I ALREADY HAD 1 RADIATOR FAIL, AND NISSAN SAID THEY FIXED IT. I SEE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE CAME AFTER A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT, I HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT FROM THE RADIATOR FAILING WHILE DRIVING. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WOULD PROVIDE INACCURATE READINGS AND WOULD OFTEN FLUCTUATE BETWEEN READINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN MANEUVERED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC FOR AN INSPECTION. SEVERAL DIAGNOSTIC CODES WERE PRODUCED DURING THE INSPECTION, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

DROVE TO WAWA FOR GAS AND AS CAR WAS IDILING IT OVER HEATED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. GOT MY CAR HOME AND STARTED POKING AROUND ONLINE JUST TO FIND THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. THE RADIATOR CRACKED AND MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID. DON'T KNOW IF TRANSMISSION IS DESTROYED YET BUT TIME WILL TELL. HORRIBLE THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS. AND WHAT A HAZARD I HAD MY 3 CHILDREN IN CAR AND HAD TO TELL THEM NO BASEBALL FOR THEM. AND TOP IT OFF THERE WAS NO SIGNS OF ANY ISSUES AND CAR ONLY HAS 59,799 MILES ON IT. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN JUNE 2011 FROM BENSON NISSAN IN SPARTANBURG, SC. I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS THESE VEHICLES WERE HAVING &OF COURSE IT WASN'T MENTIONED IN THE SALE. IT WAS ALREADY SLIGHTLY PAST THE 80,000 MILE WARRANTY (THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS OBVIOUSLY AWARE OF PROBLEMS) FOR THE RADIATOR. LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE I TOLD THE SALES PERSON &A MECHANIC THAT THE CAR WAS JERKING AT AROUND 60 MPH WHEN CHANGING GEARS. THE MECHANIC BLAMED ?BAD GAS? & ?ETHANOL? & ASSURED ME IT WASN'T THE TRANSMISSION. LESS THAN A MONTH LATER, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER?S &TOLD THEM THE CAR WAS STILL JERKING AT 60MPH &ASKED THEM ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION. THEY AGAIN TOLD ME THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR CONTINUED TO SHAKE WORSE WHEN SHIFTING &I CONTINUED TO CALL NISSAN &COMPLAIN. THE SALES PERSON EVEN OFFERED TO TRADE THE CAR IN FOR ME, BUT RENEGED WHEN HIS MANAGER DECLINED BECAUSE I ?GOT TOO GOOD OF A DEAL ON THAT CAR &(THEY) COULDN'T TRADE IT BACK.? THE SHAKING BEGAN TO GET WORSE &SPREAD TO LOWER GEARS &I ACCEPTED THE FACT THAT I WAS SOLD A LEMON. THROUGH ALL THIS, NO ONE AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP MENTIONED THE TRANSMISSION OR RADIATOR PROBLEM. I FOUND OUT ABOUT IT ONLY AFTER I BEGAN TO RESEARCH HOW TO REPAIR IT MYSELF &BY THEN ALL I COULD DO WAS PRAY. BARELY ONE YEAR AFTER PURCHASE WHILE ON THE WAY TO MY PARENT?S HOUSE WITH MY CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT, &WHILE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY, THE CAR STUCK IN 2ND GEAR. I BARELY GOT IT TO MY PARENT?S HOUSE &ENDURED A LOT OF ANGRY DRIVERS AROUND ME. IT COST $3700 TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION &REPLACE THE RADIATOR THAT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION &FINALLY AFTER GETTING IT BACK THE JERKING WHILE SHIFTING HAS STOPPED. I SHOULD'VE BEEN INFORMED ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AT PURCHASE OR AT LEAST AFTER COMPLAINING &NISSAN NEEDS TO MAKE GOOD ON THEIR FAULTY PARTS BEFORE SOMEONE IS REALLY HURT. *TR

OUR 2006 PATHFINDER HAD STARTED SHUTTERING IN THE TRANSMISSION ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE IT JUST GAVE OUT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP, WHO TOLD ME THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID HAD GOTTEN INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND RUINED IT. I DID SOME CHECKING ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. NISSAN HAS KNOWN THIS WAS A PROBLEM AND HAS NOT SENT ANY NOTICES OR RECALLS. I ALSO HAD ANOTHER PROBLEM RECENTLY WITH THE ECM RELAY, THAT LEFT IT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER RESEARCH FOUND THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED AND NO NOTICE WAS SENT OUT. I WAS THANKFUL THAT NISSAN REPLACED THE RELAY. WE HAVE CALL NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION, BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY WILL HELP DUE TO THE MILEAGE. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED WHEN IT WAS DISCOVERED WITH A NEW RADIATOR AND A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION SERVICE. *TR

2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. CONSUMER IS QUESTIONING WHY HER VEHICLE ISN'T INCLUDED IN NHTSA RECALL# 10E019000. *KB

I TOOK MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP BECAUSE WHEN I ACCELERATED OR SLOWED DOWN IT WAS GIVING A "BUCKING" FEELING AND MY REGULAR MECHANIC REFERRED ME TO THEM. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE FAULTY RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR ANYWHERE FROM $4800-$5500. WOW WHAT A SHOCK! THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE SHIFTING GEARS, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AND EMITTED A STRONG COOLANT ODOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE RADIATOR CRACKED DUE TO DEFECTIVE MATERIAL AND CAUSED COOLANT TO ENTER THE TRANSMISSION. THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

VEHICLE SHAKES AND TRANSMISSION SLIPPED WHEN DRIVING. DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. TOOK TO AMOCO AND TOLD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IS MIXING WITH THE RADIATOR AND BOTH FAILED. COST OVER $4,000 DOLLARS TO FIX OR IT IS UTTERLY USELESS - JUST OVER 82K MILES. INVESTIGATION SHOWS DANGEROUS TREND FOR SAFETY AND COMPLETE PRODUCT DEFECT, WITH YEARS OF FOREKNOWLEDGE BY NISSAN. DRIVING IS DANGEROUS SINCE THE VEHICLE DOESN'T ACCELERATE CONSISTENTLY AND STEERING VIOLENTLY SHAKES. *TR

JUST PURCHASED 2006 PATHFINDER FROM LOCAL (JEEP/DODGE) DEALER. WAS LITERALLY DRIVING IT HOME FROM THE LOT WHEN I ENCOUNTERED VIBRATION AND NEAR LOSS OF CONTROL AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME AND AFTER CHECKING THE FLUIDS FOUND A MILKY WHITE (ATF?) FLUID IN THE COOLANT/RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE HAS 87500 MILES AND I'M BESIDE MYSELF RIGHT NOW. THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM SEEMS WILLING TO WORK WITH ME TO REMEDY THE SITUATION BUT I'M NOT SURE IF THEY'LL PAY FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR...? AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES OF INVESTIGATION ON THE INTERNET FOUND THE MASS OF FOLKS DEALING WITH THE SAME RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION FAILURE PROBLEM. I'VE GOT AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER THIS WEEK... WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. NHTSA PLEASE HELP THE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF NISSAN OWNERS DEALING WITH THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT! *TR

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS OR VIBRATES EXTENSIVELY AT APPROX 42 MPH, 55 MPH, AND 62 MPH. IT CANNOT DOWNSHIFT PROPERLY - I HAVE TO DRIVE ABOVE OR BELOW THE REFERENCED SPEEDS TO AVOID THE SHAKING. IN LATER INCIDENTS, THE VEHICLE JOLTED BUT NOT OUT OF CONTROL. *TR

DRIVING BETWEEN 35-60 MPH MY 2006 PATHFINDER WAS SHAKING AS IF I WERE ON A RUMBLE STRIP. IT CONTINUED TO WORSEN AS THE WEEK PROGRESSED. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT BOTH FRONT AND REAR U-JOINTS WERE LOOSE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WITH ONLY 81000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE I ASKED IF THIS WAS PREMATURE FOR BOTH U-JOINTS TO FAIL AT THE SAME TIME. I WAS TOLD IT IS CONSIDERED "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR". THE COST OF REPLACEMENT WAS $1200. *TT

I PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER IN 2009. IT HAD 64000 MILES AND I PAID $18500. OF COURSE THE DEALER DID NOT INFORM ME OF THE ISSUE. SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THIS CAR (ONE PREVIOUS OWNER) I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TWO CAT CONVERTERS, A RADIATOR, A PRESSURE GAUGE, AND NOW A TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE RADIATOR FLUIDS AND TRANSMISSION FLUIDS ARE MIXING. IT CAUSES THE CAR TO JERK UNCONTROLLABLY OUT OF NOWHERE WHILE IN NORMAL OPERATION. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE, THE SERVICE ADVISER HAD ME CHANGE THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION MAINTENANCE. THIS COSTS ME $1650. TWO CAT CONVERTERS, $3200. NOW THEY SAID I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION FOR $5000+. THERE HAVE BEEN OVER 5000 COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAFETY ISSUE, AND THE NHTSA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE. WILL SOMEONE HAVE TO BE KILLED FIRST IN A PATHFINDER FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE? THE CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND COULD CARE LESS. I HAVE BEEN SPOKEN TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, THEY HAVE DECIDED I WAS ONE NOT WORTHY OF HELP DUE TO MILEAGE. THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS NISSAN KNOWS AND UNDERSTANDS THIS WILL HAPPEN TO THEIR CARS EVENTUALLY. IT IS NOT ONLY PATHFINDERS, BUT ALSO FRONTIERS, MAXIMAS, ALTIMAS, ETC. READ ALL OF THE BLOGS. IT IS A JOKE. NISSAN NEEDS BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE DESIGN FLAW. THEY ARE HAVING THEIR CUSTOMERS PAY FOR NISSAN'S PROBLEM. USA NISSAN CUSTOMERS NEED YOUR HELP. NISSAN NEEDS TO BE PUNISHED FOR THEIR INACTION. NISSAN HAS ALSO SETTLED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AS WELL REGARDING THIS ISSUE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS KILLED! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, AND THE FUEL SYSTEM GAUGE DISPLAYED THE INCORRECT FUEL LEVELS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. A WARRANTY LETTER WAS RECEIVED FROM NISSAN TO REPAIR THE RADIATOR CRACK ASSEMBLY FAILURE, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT QUALIFY DUE TO THE MILEAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATELY FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 109,000. UPDATED 3/19/13 *CN UPDATED 3/29/2013 *JS

MY VEHICLE IS SUFFERING THE FATE OF COUNTLESS OTHERS. I HAVE THE COOLANT INTERMIX ISSUE THAT HAS RUINED MY RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. NOW, I AM OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION COSTING $4500! NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THIS--I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS ALREADY AND IT SIMPLY ISN'T FAIR THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO PUT A BANDAID ON A DEFECT THAT HAS HARMED AND COULD CONTINUE TO HARM THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS. PLEASE FIX THIS! *TR

SOON AFTER PURCHASE WHEN I WAS TRAVELING BETWEEN 45 AND 55 MILES PER HOUR IT WOULD FEEL AS IF THE WHEELS HAD LOCKED UP BUT THE CAR WAS STILL MOVING. THIS PROBLEM EVOLVED UNTIL IT WOULD FEEL AS IF YOU WERE TRAVELING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS, THEN IT STARTED SHUDDERING AT ANYWHERE BETWEEN 45 AND 60 MILES PER HOUR. NOW IT ACTUALLY LOSES SPEED UNTIL IT FALLS DOWN TO ABOUT 30 AND THEN IT WILL KICK BACK INTO GEAR AND I CAN SPEED UP AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. TOOK IT THE DEALER WHEN I FIRST STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS A YEAR AGO AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. TOOK IT BACK TODAY AND NOW THEY SAY IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW. THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED FROM THE BEGINNING. LEMON LAW SHOULD APPLY. *TR

AS HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY OUR 2006 PATHFINDER HAS BEEN FOUND TO HAVE ANTIFREEZE IN THE TRANSMISSION AND WE ARE NOW TOLD IT WILL TAKE 4500 DOLLARS TO FIX. THIS IS NO DOUBT A MANUFACTURES DEFECT AS THERE WAS NO WAY TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING OR KNOWING FOR SURE WHEN IT DID. THIS SUV HAS BEEN MAINTAINED BY PROFESSIONALS AND THEY DID NOT CATCH IT, I BELIEVE NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THIS BASED ON ACTIONS THEY HAVE TAKEN AND NOW SHOULD HAVE TO REPAIR THESE VEHICLES. *TR

WHILE RETURNING FROM LUNCH BREAK, I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR ON MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND DID NOT ACCELERATE. IT SOUNDED AS IF IT WAS IDLING BUT THERE WAS VERY LITTLE TO NO MOVEMENT. THIS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. AFTER HAVING THE TRUCKED TOWED AND THE PROBLEM ASSESSED, I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS COMES WITH A HEFTY PRICE TAG. IN THE MECHANICS EXPLANATION OF THE PROBLEMS HE ASSERTED "YOU HAVE HEARD ABOUT THESE PATHFINDERS, HAVEN'T YOU". WELL, I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THE FAILED TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR IS NOT A NEW OCCURRENCE. THIS HAS BEEN AND IS HAPPENING REGULARLY AND THERE IS NO RECALL. THIS PUTS CONSUMERS IN A BAD POSITION, ESPECIALLY WHEN, LIKE ME, THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. I AM STILL WAITING FOR A TRANSMISSION TO BE SHIPPED FROM CALIFORNIA. BY THE WAY, I FOUND OUT THAT IT IS ON BACKORDER. THAT'S JUST HOW FREQUENTLY THIS PROBLEM OCCURS. MAKE SURE YOU PURCHASE EXTENDED WARRANTIES AND/OR TRADE IT BEFORE THIS HAPPENS TO YOU. OR EVEN WORSE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT PHYSICALLY NOT JUST FINANCIALLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, SHE NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT DISPLAY THE ACCURATE FUEL LEVEL. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILIARY TANK). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,200 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE 94,000.

THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE OR WILL DOWNSHIFT INCORRECTLY AND REDLINE, MAKING THE TIRES CHIRP AND ALMOST LOSE CONTROL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT DISPLAY ACCURATE READINGS. THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN EMPTY READING WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS ACTUALLY FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE TRANSMISSION COOLANT HAD ERRONEOUSLY LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THERE WAS A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL FOR THE FAILURE BUT THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE LIMIT FOR THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133,995.

MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER HAD BEEN HAVING FUEL GAUGE PROBLEMS FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. FINALLY AFTER THE ANNOYANCE BECAME TOO MUCH, WE TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER. WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE ASSEMBLY THAT INVOLVED A RECALL. UNFORTUNATELY FOR US, WE MISSED THE RECALL BY LESS THAN FOUR MONTHS. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT NISSAN KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM, THEN ARBITRARILY CHOSE A DATE WHEN THE RECALL WOULD END THAT WOULD SATISFY THE NHTSA, BUT NOT FULLY COVER THE PERIOD WHEN THIS PROBLEM COULD ARISE. LIMITING THIS RECALL BY DATE CAN PROVE TO BE EXTREMELY PREJUDICIAL TO THE CUSTOMER THAT PURCHASES THE VEHICLE LATER IN THE YEAR; FOR EXAMPLE, PURCHASING THE CAR IN NOVEMBER 2006 VERSUS JANUARY 2006 WOULD PLACE THE CONSUMER AT AN ELEVEN MONTH DISADVANTAGE. *TT

VEHICLE WAS RUNNING NORMAL TILL WE PARK TO HAVE LUNCH.START VEHICLE FINE PLACE SHIFTER IN GEAR (DRIVE) WAS NOT TAKING ANY GEAR.WE HAVE VEHICLE TAKING TO NISSAN DEALER.THEY DETERMINE CAUSE DUE TO A FAULTY RADIATOR LEAKING COOLANT TO TRANSMISSION NISSAN WAS NOT GOING TO DO ANY WARRANTY REPAIRS ON THE VEHICLE BECAUSE VEHICLE WAS OUT WARRANTY. *TR

I USE THIS VEHICLE TO COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK. I CURRENTLY SERVE IN THE U.S. MILITARY AND MUST DRIVE OVER CAUSEWAYS THAT ARE LOCATED OVER WATER TO GET TO WORK. THE VIBRATIONS FROM THE FAILING TRANSMISSION CAUSE A MAJOR CONCERN WHEN GOING OVER THESE CAUSEWAYS. IF THE TRANSMISSION WERE TO FAIL GOING 50 MPH IT COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT POSSIBLY KILLING MY FAMILY, ME AND POSSIBLY MANY MORE. TODAY I WAS TAKING THE FAMILY OUT FOR DINNER. ON OUR WAY I DROVE OVER THE CAUSEWAY DRIVING 55 AND CAME TO AN EXIT. AS I WAS EXITING, THE VEHICLE STARTED JERKING VIGOROUSLY. THANKFULLY THERE WAS ENOUGH ROOM TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE TO BRING IT TO A STOP. NOW THE VEHICLE WILL NOT DRIVE PAST 1ST GEAR, SO OBVIOUSLY I HAD TO GET IT TOWED. NISSAN MUST ADDRESS THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED, BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE WAITING FOR. *TR

AFTER FILLING MY VEHICLE UP WITH FUEL, THE GAUGE STILL READ ONE QUARTER TANK, AND IT TOOK MOST OF THE DAY BEFORE THE GAUGE SLOWLY MOVED UP TO READ FULL. AFTER THAT, WHEN THE TANK WOULD REACH 1/2 FULL, THE GAUGE WOULD START ACTING CRAZY. ONE MINUTE IT WOULD READ 1/2 FULL, THE NEXT SECOND IT WOULD READ EMPTY AND MY GAS LIGHT WOULD COME ON. ALSO, AT HALF FULL DOWN TO ONE QUARTER FULL, THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WOULD COME ON. WHEN I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLE, I CALLED NISSAN TO INQUIRE, BUT WAS TOLD THAT DUE TO MY VIN # MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED. THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH MY FUEL GAUGE IS EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE RECALL COVERED, AND THE PARTS THAT I HAD TO HAVE REPLACED ARE THE SAME PARTS THAT THE RECALL COVERED. I HAD TO PAY $300 TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED, WHEN OBVIOUSLY THE PART COVERED IN THE RECALL WAS ALSO DEFECTIVE IN MY VEHICLE. (CAMPAIGN ID #/NHTSA #: PC042/10V-075; APPLIED VEHICLES 2006 & 2008 PATHFINDER, 2006 & 2008 FRONTIER, 2006 & 2008 XTERRA). *TR

RADIATOR/ TRANSMISSION FAILED CAUSING BREAKDOWN RADIATOR WAS AFFECTED AS WELL AS WHEN THE INTERIOR COMPONENTS OF THE RADIATORS (INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COOLERS) BROKE DOWN ALLOWING COOLANT TO MIX WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. AS A RESULT OF THE CONTAMINATION, THE TRANSMISSION AND OTHER DRIVE TRAIN COMPONENTS WERE DAMAGED AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. *TR

MY TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE. MECHANIC SAID THE COOLING LINE CRACKED, WHICH ALLOWED RADIATOR FLUID TO ENTER THE TRANSMISSION AND DESTROY IT. *TR

I HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED VIBRATING AND THEN WOULD NOT MOVE, I TOOK TO LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP, THEY ADVISED THERE WAS A PROBLEM IN THE RADIATOR CAUSING DAMAGE TO TRANSMISSION, I TOOK TO NISSAN DEALER THEY ADVISED THAT NISSAN HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 80,000 MILES DUE TO THE RADIATOR, HOWEVER NISSAN HAD NOT SENT ANY INFORMATION REGARDING A PROBLEM ARE EXTENDING THE WARRANTY. IF I HAD KNOWN THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH RADIATOR, I WOULD HAVE HAD IT CHECKED PRIOR TO THE 80,000 MILES. THEN NISSAN SENDS LETTER THAT THEY ARE EXTENDING WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES WITH A 3,000 DOLLAR DEDUCTIBLE. IF I HAD RECEIVED A LETTER EARLIER FROM NISSAN ABOUT THE PROBLEM, I WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE NISSAN TO A DEALER PRIOR TO THE 80,000 MILES. AT TIMES THE TRANSMISSION WOULD STALL OUT WHEN MAKING A TURN, WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT; FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO ON COMING TRAFFIC. THE CAR ALSO HAS A FUEL GAUGE WHICH GIVES A FALSE READING AT ALL TIMES TO THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TANK DUE TO A FAULTY SENDING UNIT. SO NOW I AM STUCK WITH A BILL FOR 3,000 DOLLARS. I FEEL NISSAN WAS NEGLIGENT IN NOT ADVISING THEIR CUSTOMERS OF THE PROBLEM EARLIER. THE DEALER THEN CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS WORN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF 2,000 DOLLARS. MY NISSAN HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES AND THE RADIATOR, TRANSMISSION AND TIMING CHAIN ARE FAULTY, AND NISSAN SHOULD COVER THESE CHARGES. *TR

DURING DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION POPPED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. AFTER REVIEWING DIFFERENT WEBSITES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT MY 2000-2006 PATHFINDERS HAVE. THIS ISSUE IS DUE TO TRANSMISSION FLUID MIXING WITH ENGINE COOLANT. IT IS A FAILURE DUE TO A THIN WALL IN THE RADIATOR THAT WEARS OUT OVER TIME AND IS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX IF NOT CAUGHT SOON ENOIGH THE PRICES I WAS QUOTED WAS ANYWHERE FROM 4,000 TO 12,000 DEPENDING ON WHAT ALL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER WAS DRIVING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,568.

DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 95 AND A TRUCK SENT BUD IN THE AIR, WENT TO CLEAN WINDSHIELD AND RAN OUT OF CLEANER. JUST HAD VEHICLE SERVICED. WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID WAS FILLED THAT MORNING AT JIFFYLUBE. WINDSHIELD FLUID LIGHT CAME ON. STOPPED AND MANUALLY CLEANED WINDSHIELD. NOTICED THAT WINDSHIELD FLUID TANK WAS EMPTY AND REFILLED. FLUID WAS LEAKING OUT. RETURNED HOME AND REMOVED FENDER SHIELD TO LOOK AT TANK. FLUID LEAKING OUT OF BOTTOM OF TANK SEAL. TO THIS DAY WE STILL OPERATE WITHOUT FLUID DUE TO COST TO REPAIR. THIS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN THE WEATHER IS VERY WARM AS IT IS MOST OF THE YEAR IN SAVANNAH. *TR

VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE BADLY WHILE DRIVING AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. WHEN TAKEN TO A MECHANIC TO FIX ISSUE, WE FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD TURNED PINK. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT AT FLUID AND COOLANT HAD MIXED TOGETHER. WE HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR REPLACED.

TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. STARTED LURCHING AND LOST SPEED. ALMOST GOT HIT. HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT PLUS THE TORQUE CONVERTER REBUILT. 10/15/2012 TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AGAIN AND LOSING POWER. AT MILEAGE 169,886 MECHANIC TOLD ME COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANMISSION. REPAIRED AGAIN AND BROUGHT HOME ON 10/18/2012. THAT EVENING TAKING MY SON TO FOOTBALL PRACTICE, LOST POWER GOING 50 MPH AND ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. I'M DONE WITH THIS DANGEROUS VEHICLE BUT I DON'T WANT ANYONE DRIVING IT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR VIBRATES AND IF YOU STOP AT TRAFFIC LIGHT AND TRY TO PROCEED DRIVING IT ACTS AS IF IT HAS NO POWER AND IT DOESN'T WANT TO PULL. TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN AND THEY SAID THE RADIATOR HAD LEAKED COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION, AND BOTH HAS TO BE REPLACED ABOUT $7000. THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

KNOWN ISSUE WITH FUEL SYSTEM (NHTSA ID # 10V075000) NISSAN ACKNOWLEDGES PROBLEMS BUT PUT MILEAGE LIMIT ON DEALER PAID REPAIR. (APPROXIMATELY 1300 MILES OVER) APPARENTLY DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURE ISSUES HAVE TIME LIMITS REGARDLESS OF SAFETY ISSUE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS. INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS CAUSED DELAYS IN IDENTIFYING THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TIMETABLED,INACCURATE AND THEN FAILURE OF THE FUEL GAUGE. THIS IS A FAILURE OF BOTH NISSAN AND THE NHTSA TO ALLOW MILEAGE TO BE THE DETERMINING FACTOR IN LIMITING OUR SAFETY. *TR

WE HAVE HAD 3 SEPARATE INCIDENTS WHERE OUR FUEL GAUGE WAS READING 1/4 OF A TANK AND IT WAS ACTUALLY EMPTY. MY WIFE WAS STRANDED WITH MY YOUNG CHILDREN FOR AN HOUR BEFORE SHE WAS ABLE TO GET GAS. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND ADVISED THEM OF THE INCIDENT AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR A FUEL TANK PROBLEM. THEY THEN ADVISED ME THAT MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. HOW IS IT THAT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES IN THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL HAD THE SAME ISSUE BUT MINE WAS NOT ONE. *TR

VERIFIED AT LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT RADIATOR COOLANT IS MIXING WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID WHICH CAUSES ROUGH SHIFTING AND CAR TO SHAKE AT CERTAIN SPEEDS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS CAR CAN SUDDENLY LOSE POWER/BREAK DOWN WHILE DRIVING. RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION NEED TO BE REPLACED. WE RECEIVED NISSAN'S EXTENDED WARRANTY (8 YR/80,000 MILES) ON RADIATOR LAST YEAR. CAR IS ONLY 800 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY, HOWEVER NISSAN WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF REPLACING THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. NISSAN NEEDS STAND BY ITS PRODUCT AND ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. *JS

MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER'S RADIATOR LEAKED ANTIFREEZE INTO MY TRANSMISSION FLUID. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT AND DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT. *JS

MY TRANSMISSION STARTED MAKING NOISES AND PROBLEM SHIFTING AT 60 MPH AND THE WHOLE VEHICLE START SHAKING. I HAD TO BRAKE AND REDUCED SPEED TO AVOID THE SHAKING. *TR
