2006 Nissan Pathfinder POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

I TOOK MY NISSAN PATHFINDER ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.1ST VISIT 11/29/2011, 2ND VISIT 3/12/2012, 3RD VISIT 6/11/2012 INTERMIX WITH COOLANT AND TRANNY FLUID, REPLACED RADIATOR 800.00, TOLD ME TO COME BACK AND TEST FLUIDS AFTER 1000 MILES, SAME ISSUE, FLUSHED OUT THE TRAN FLUID 250.00,T OLD ME TO COME BACK AFTER 1000 MILES TO TEST FLUID, SAME PROBLEM. PAID 600.00 TO CLEAN OUT TRANSMISSION PAN AND WHATEVER BS THEY TOLD ME, NOW RPMS ARE REVVING HIGH WHEN I TRY TO TAKE OFF, AND I AM AT RISK FOR STALLING OR TRANSMISSION FAILING IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION OR HIGHWAY. MY WIFE AND I ARE EXPECTING OUR 1ST CHILD IN JANUARY AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE BRINGING OUR NEWBORN IN THIS VEHICLE AND PUTTING HER LIFE AT RISK. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, AND LODGED A COMPLAINT THEN ANOTHER REP CALLED ME BACK AND SAID I DO NOT QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE BECAUSE I HAVE 98K ON MY VEHICLE AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THEY OFFERED WAS UP TO 80K. REGARDLESS THERE ARE MANY PATHFINDER OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM, SHE DISPLAYED NO EMPATHY, AND KEPT SAYING THE SAME THING, "I UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATION, BUT WE CANNOT HELP YOU"....UNBELIEVABLE!! VEHICLE HAS 98K AND IT'S PAID OFF. DON'T WANT A NEW VEHICLE, AND WANT NISSAN TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE AND FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS THIS PROBLEM! *TR

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

WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND NOTIFIED THEM OF SHUDDERING WHEN DRIVING IN EXCESS OF 40MPH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IS 'MILKY' AS A RESULT OF COOLANT MIXING IN WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID DUE TO A CRACK IN THE RADIATOR. ADVISED REPAIRS TO INCLUDE A TRANSMISSION COOLER WOULD BE IN EXCESS OF $8,000+. ALSO ADVISED THAT MILEAGE OF 91,033 VOIDED EXTENDED WARRANTY. (3 YEARS, 80,000 MILES) VEHICLE IS NON-OPERABLE DUE TO TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *TR

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

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE WOULD JUMP TO SECOND GEAR AND SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS. AFTER DIAGNOSIS THEY ADVISED HIM THAT HE NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 135,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 136,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MAJOR ISSUES WITH MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. INTERMIX WITH COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP KNEW AFTER A FEW MOMENTS FROM LIFTING MY HOOD. THE MECHANIC EXPLAINED IT WOULD COST OVER $1500 TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION AND ADVISED ME TO COME BACK AFTER 10K MILES. AFTER HAVING THE RADIATOR ($800) REPLACED I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY FOR LESS THAN A MILE AND MY RPMS WERE REVVING HIGH WHEN I ACCELERATED AND THE TRUCK WAS OBVIOUSLY STUCK IN GEAR. TOOK PATHFINDER BACK (TWO DAYS) TO MECHANIC AND FOUND THE RADIATOR CONTAMINATED ONCE AGAIN AND NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH WILL COST $2500 THAT I DON'T HAVE AND I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW VEHICLE. I'M MAKING PAYMENTS ON A CAR I CAN'T DRIVE. MY HUSBAND IS DRIVING A 2005 ALTIMA WHICH IS HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND JUST HAVEN'T BROKEN DOWN COMPLETE. NISSAN SHOULD RECOGNIZED THIS ISSUE AND ADDRESS ASAP. *TR

THIS BEGAN INTERMITTENTLY SHOWING PROBLEMS ON THE HIGHWAY, DURING ACCELERATION (AFTER LETTING OFF THE GAS PEDAL TO SLOW) THE CAR WOULD START TO SHAKE SLIGHTLY AND LOSE POWER BEFORE AGAIN RUNNING SMOOTHLY IN MAY 2011. LATER IT STARTED TO DO IT AT SLOWER SPEEDS DURING ACCELERATION. THEN IT WOULD SOMETIMES HAVE ONE OR TWO CLUNKS DURING ACCELERATION, BEFORE AGAIN RUNNING SMOOTHLY. WE TOOK OUR CAR AGAIN TO OUR MECHANIC IN MAY 2012, AND FOUND THAT THE RADIATOR HAD BEEN LEAKING, THEN GUSHED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. WE REPLACED THE RADIATOR, AND FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION TO HELP FIX THE ISSUES. THE ISSUES STILL CONTINUE TODAY, ALTHOUGH WE RARELY DRIVE THE CAR AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE AN NEW TRANSMISSION. *TR
