2007 Nissan Pathfinder Power Train

THE SUV HAS ALWAYS GONE FOR SERVICE AT THE DEALER AND THEY NEVER TOLD US TO WATCH OUT FOR THE RADIATOR PASSING WATER TO TRANSMISION, AND NOW THAT DEFECTIVE PART HAS PUT WATER IN MY TRANSMISSION IT AS DAMAGED IT.

ON FRIDAY, AUGUST THE 8TH ON THE WAY TO WORK ON THE INTERSTATE I ACCELERATED GOING UP A HILL AND THE GEAR CHANGE IN THE TRANSMISSION WAS EXTREMELY ROUGH. IT WAS LIKE WHEN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION IS KNOCKED OUT OF GEAR, OF COURSE THIS VEHICLE IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. LIKE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION BEING KNOCKED OUT OF GEAR THE VEHICLE HAD A VERY QUICK DECELERATION ALTHOUGH I AS STILL PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. THIS ALMOST CAUSED THE CAR BEHIND ME TO REAR END ME. EVENTUALLY THE VEHICLE ACTED LIKE IT WENT BACK IN GEAR. WHEN I EXITED OFF OF THE INTERSTATE, CAME TO A STOP AT THE END OF THE OFF RAMP, AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE AGAIN ACTED LIKE THE MOTOR WAS ENGAGING BUT NOT THE TRANSMISSION, ALMOST CAUSING ANOTHER REAR END COLLISION. I MANAGED TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE PARKING LOT AT WORK. IT SET THERE FOR THE DAY UNTIL I WAS LEAVING TO GO HOME. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE VDC AND SLIP LIGHTS WOULD COME ON WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START. I LEFT THE VEHICLE AT WORK. I RETURNED ON SATURDAY. I GOT A AUTO CODE FROM THE VEHICLE OF P0717 REFERRING TO THE TURBINE SPEED SENSOR. I FOUND THE 10 AMP A/T ECU FUSE WAS BLOWN. I REPLACED THE FUSE AND THE VEHICLE CRANKED BUT IMMEDIATELY BLEW THE FUSE AGAIN AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN IF TURNED OFF. I LEFT THE VEHICLE AND DID SOME RESEARCH FINDING THE ISSUE WITH THE RADIATOR FLUID CONTAMINATING THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO GO OUT. MY COMPANY MECHANIC AND I LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE ON MONDAY AND FOUND THE RADIATOR EMPTY OF FLUID AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CONTAMINATED. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SEVERELY INJURED ID THIS ISSUE IS NOT BROUGHT TO THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. THE VEHICLE IS STILL SITTING WHERE I LEFT IT UNTIL I DECIDE WHETHER I AM GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE WHAT I AM SURE IS A BAD TRANSMISSION DUE TO A FAULTY MANUFACTURERS DESIGN.

CAR WOULD NOT START. LOCAL MECHANIC COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHY. TOWED 30 MILES TO DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD COOLANT LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION AND WOULD NEED TO COMPLETELY REPLACE TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF $5,000. NISSAN KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE, HOWEVER THE MILEAGE IS TOO HIGH FOR THEM TO HELP ME OUT AT ALL.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND TRUCK WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO OVERDRIVE. PULL CODE P0717 INDICATING THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR OR COMPUTER WAS OUT. TOOK TO SHOP AND THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION COOLING LINE IN THE RADIATOR CRACKED, THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS THEN MIXED WITH ANTIFREEZE, AND IT FOULED THE TRANSMISSION PARTS AND KNOCK OUT THE COMPUTER. TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACE AND THE SHOP NOTED THAT NISSAN WOULDN'T WARRANTY THE TRANSMISSION WITHOUT REPLACING THE RADIATOR, WHICH THEY KNEW HAD TO BE DONE ANYWAY. THEY SAID THEY'VE SEEN SOOO MANY OF THESE IT'S RIDICULOUS. $4,225.43 REPAIR THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF WE'D JUST KNOWN TO REPLACE THE $200 RADIATOR.

AS A SINGLE FATHER OF THREE TEENAGERS, I NEEDED TWO VEHICLES WITH ENOUGH ROOM AND SAFETY FEATURES TO HANDLE HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE NEEDS. I BOUGHT TWO PATHFINDERS, A 2007 SE AND 2008 LE, ONE FOR MYSELF AND ONE FOR MY SON (WHICH WOULD BE PASSED ON, ETC). MY DECISION WAS BASED ON MY PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH NISSAN PRODUCTS AND MY LOYALTY TO THE BRAND. HOWEVER, I NOW HAVE BOTH PATHFINDERS NEEDING MAJOR REPAIRS TO THEIR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. THE 2008 PATHFINDER'S TRANSMISSION FAILED IN VERY HEAVY HOUSTON TRAFFIC WHILE DRIVING WITH MY YOUNGER SON, WHICH CAUSED OTHER VEHICLES TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES AND ALMOST CREATED A LARGE PILE-UP ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. WHILE WE AVOIDED BEING KILLED BY ONCOMING VEHICLES, WE WERE ALSO IN DANGER AS WE MOVED THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. AFTER TOWING THE VEHICLE TO A REPUTABLE TRANSMISSION SHOP, HE FOUND THE ISSUE TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE COOLANT FLUID LEAKING INTO THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, CAUSING TOTAL FAILURE. ESTIMATES ARE OVER $6,000 FOR REBUILDING OR REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION WITH PARTS AND LABOR, INCLUDING THE REQUIRED ADDITION OF A "COOLER" INSTEAD OF THE RADIATOR. I ATTEMPTED TO FILE THIS WITH MY CAR INSURANCE BUT WAS DENIED COVERAGE. NOW, THE 2007 PATHFINDER IS HAVING THE SAME SYMPTOMS WITH SLIPPAGE AND INABILITY TO USE OVERDRIVE, WHICH ALMOST CAUSE ANOTHER MULTI-CAR PILE-UP IN HOUSTON TRAFFIC UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO DOWNSHIFT AND MOVE ASIDE. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE 2007 PATHFINDER TRANSMISSION ALSO FAILS COMPLETELY, AND I STILL OWE $12,000 TO THE CREDIT UNION ON BOTH LOANS COMBINED. I ATTEMPTED A LOAN FOR REPAIRS THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION SHOP, BUT WAS DENIED DUE TO BAD CREDIT FROM A LAY-OFF LAST YEAR. NISSAN, PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL FOR THOSE OF US WITHOUT HOPE AND UNABLE TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO SAVE LIVES AND BOOST YOUR BRAND TO A HIGHER LEVEL, THROUGH INTEGRITY.

IN OCTOBER OF 2015, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. IT HAS HAPPEN 3 TIMES SINCE (THE MOST RECENT BEING MARCH 22, 2016). AN INDEPENDENT REPAIRMAN HAS LOOK AT THE VEHICLE 3 TIMES, BUT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. SPOKE WITH THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE THE ISSUE OVER THE PHONE. WE DID DISCUSS THE TRANSMISSION/ENGINE COOLANT MIXING. TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER EVALUATION. THEY SAID IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY OR RECALL. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BUT OUR VEHICLE ALREADY HAD TOO MANY MILES TO BE INCLUDED.

IN THE MIDDLE OF 2013, THE DEALER RECOMMENDED A TRANSMISSION FLUSH FOR MY 2007 PATHFINDER. I GAVE THEM THE GO AHEAD. ONLY A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO JERK AND SHIFT VIOLENTLY INTO GEAR. EVENTUALLY, THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER. THE DEALER SAID IT WOULD COST $6K TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND BASICALLY TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD JUST GET A NEW CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE RADIATOR, TRANSMISSION COOLER WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THE TRANSMISSION OVERHAULED. THE WORK WAS QUOTED AT $3,500 WHICH WAS A LOT BETTER THAN $6,000 SO I WENT AHEAD WITH THE REPAIR. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION COOLER TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, THE REPAIR WAS EXECUTED BY THE DEALERSHIP IN LATE 2014. THEN IN MID 2015 THE TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. SAME SYMPTOMS AS BEFORE. I AM JUST WAITING FOR THE TRUCK TO DIE ON ME ANY DAY. RECENTLY I CAME ACROSS SOME INFORMATION ABOUT A CLASS-ACTION SUIT THAT WAS SETTLED AGAINST NISSAN IN 2013 OVER THIS EXACT PROBLEM. THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS SETTLEMENT AND SHOULD HAVE OFFERED ME THE OPTION TO GET MY CAR REPAIRED UNDER THE TERMS OF THAT SETTLEMENT - BUT THEY DID NOT. FURTHER, I UNDERSTAND NISSAN HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH A NEW PART BUT I SUSPECT THAT THE DEALER USED THE OLD TYPE OF PARTS WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS IN THEIR BODY SHOP AND THIS IS THE REASON MY TRANSMISSION IS ONCE AGAIN EXHIBITING SIGNS OF AN IMPENDING PROBLEM. THIS IS JUST NOT GOOD FOR CONSUMERS AND IT IS DEFINITELY NOT GOOD FOR NISSAN'S REPUTATION. I WILL NEVER AGAIN BUY NISSAN.

RADIATOR DEFECT, THAT NISSAN HAS KNOWN SINCE 2012, CLASS ACTION SUIT, FOR PATHFINDERS AND XTERRAS LEAKED FLUID INTO TRANSMISSION BLOWING MY TRANSMISSION. NISSAN REPLACED TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR BUT CHARGED ME $3,000 AS CO-PAY. NISSAN HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE FOR A WHILE AND YET NEVER SUBJECT OF RECALL NOR WERE OWNERS NOTIFIED OF THIS ENGINEERING DEFECT OF THE RADIATOR. NISSAN REFUSED TO INDEMNIFY ME FOR THE CO-PAY CLAIMING I WAS LUCKY I GOT THAT FROM THEM. WHEN QUESTIONED AS TO WHY THESE RADIATORS WERE NEVER RECALLED, THEY REFUSED TO RESPOND AND STATED THEY WERE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO NOTIFY OWNERS OF THIS DEFECT. MY TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR WENT WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE CAUSING MY CAR TO SWERVE ALMOST RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT IT IS ABSURD THAT THE OWNERS SHOULD HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING BECAUSE OF THIS RADIATOR THAT WAS ENGINEERED DEFECTIVE.

ANTI FREEZE LEAK INTO TRANSMISSION.

FLUID HAS LEAKED FROM THE RADIATOR INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING CORROSION IN THE TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION STALLS AND SHUTTERS WHILE DRIVING IT. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY HAZARD, DUE TO LACK OF POWER AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF TRANSMISSION DURING DRIVING. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN NISSAN PATHFINDERS.

TRANSMISSION IS BUCKING AND VIBRATING WHILE IN MOTION. I'M GUESSING I HAVE MONTH BEFORE IT BREAKS DOWN LIKE ALL OF THE OTHERS.

COOLANT HAS LEAKED INTO MY TRANSMISSION. MY VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 88000 MILES AND MY TRANSMISSION HAS STARTED SLIPPING. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND HE SAID "YEAH, IT'S A MIXER". REFERRING TO THE COOLANT THAT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. ACCORDING TO HIM IM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS BROUGHT IN THEIR NISSAN WITH THIS ISSUE.I WENT TO NISSAN BUT THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL. AFTER CHECKING ONLINE IT SEEMS THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT BROUGHT AGAINST NISSAN BACK IN 2012 BUT IT SEEMS LIKE I CAN'T BE PART OF IT SINCE THE DEADLINE HAS PASSED. I HOPE THERE IS A RECALL SOON SO I CAN GET MY TRUCK FIXED.

ON MARCH 14TH 2016. WE PURCHASED A NISSAN PATHFINDER 2007, ON THE DAY IT WAS PURCHASED? IT SHUT DOWN IN THE GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT! WE HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER, GOT IT BACK? AND THEN THE CAR SHUT DOWN AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET! IN A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA! MY HUSBAND CANT WALK FAR BECAUSE OF HIS DISABILITY AND WE HAD TO SIT IN THE CAR AND WAIT TILL THE TOW TRUCK CAME! MARCH 7,2017 THE DAY AFTER OUR FIRST PAYMENT! THE DEALERSHIP THEN TOLD US IT WAS A LEAK IN THE RADIATOR COOLANT HOSE DUE TO SOME FLAW IN DESIGN! THEY TOLD US IT WOULD COST 1500 MINIMUM TO FIX! WE OWNED THE CAR LESS THAN A MONTH! MADE ONE PAYMENT! AND NOW WE CAN'T DRIVE IT OR AFFORD TO FIX IT! BECAUSE OUR VEHICLE HAS 100,000 MILES NISSAN, INSTEAD OF JUST FIXING THEIR ENGINE FLAW?WANTS TO CHARGE US 3,000 DOLLARS TO FIX IT! WE ARE ON A FIXED INCOME BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I ARE DISABLED,AND FINANCED INTO A TRUCK THAT COULD HAVE KILLED US! THIS NEEDS TO BE A STRAIGHT AND FAIR RECALL WITH NO COST TO THE CONSUMER! THIS CAR COULD HAVE SHUT DOWN ANYWHERE! LEAVING US STRANDED! OR WORSE!

PROBLEM STARTED WHEN TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP WHILE DRIVING BACK AND FORTH TO WORK.. HAD TRANSMISSION FLUSHED DID NOT HELP...LEARNED ABOUT THE INTER-COOLER DEFECATE SO CHECKED THE RADIATOR TO FIND TRANNY FLUID.. CAR IS OVER 100K MILES SO LEFT WITH ALL REPAIR COST AND A SORRY ABOUT YOUR LUCK.....

STARTED HEARING A LOUD KNOCKING WHEN PUTTING MY CAR IN PARK OR OTHER GEARS. TOOK IT IN FOR MY REGULAR SCHEDULED SERVICE AND TOLD THE SERVICE WRITER AT NISSAN WHAT WAS GOING ON. HE CHECKED IT AND SAID HE WOULD NOT LET ME DRIVE IT AND OFFERED A RENTAL , TOLD ME HE WOULD CALL. WELL SURPRISE $7600 PRICE TAG, SAID NOTHING ABOUT THE RECALL, I FOUND THAT MYSELF. BUT HE TOLD ME NISSAN WOULD PAY PART AND MY CO-PAY IS $3000. HE TOLD ME THE INTER COOLER IN THE RADIATOR HAD CRACKED AND LEAKED, SENDING FLUIDS INTO MY TRANSMISSION AND KILLING IT. ON TOP OF THAT THEY WANT TO REPLACE WITH A RE-MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION. ACCORDING TO THE EXTENDED WARRANTY GUIDELINES OF THE CLASS ACTION SUIT, MY VEHICLE JUST TURNED 9 YRS. APPROX. 3 WEEKS AGO AND ONLY HAS 79,000 MILES. YOU WOULD THINK SINCE IT'S ONLY 3 WEEKS OUT OF 8 YRS. AND WITHIN THE 80, 000 THEY WOULD REPLACE FOR FREE. I WAS NEVER EVEN NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL, I HAVE MY CAR SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED FROM, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DIDN'T TELL ME OR TAKE ACTION BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, WHO KNOWS MAYBE THEY WILL DO PROPER BUSINESS AND FIX THEIR MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

THE RADIATOR IS MIXING ANTI-FREEZE AND TRANSMISSION FLUID TOGETHER AND CYCLING IT THREW THE WHOLE ENGINE

MY SUV WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A MANUFACTURING DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSON AND NOW HAS ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION COOLER PIPES SPLITTING CAUSING CROSS CONTAMINATION BETWEEN THE RADIATOR COOLANT & TRANSMISSION FLUID. WHICH RESULTED IN A FAILURE TO THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE CROSS CONTAMINATION HAD TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION, TRANSMISSION COOLER HOSES & RADIATOR REPLACED.I CALLED NISSAN CORP AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY I TOLD THEM THAT THEY ARE PUTTING FAMILYS IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I ALSO EXPLAINED TO THEM WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE THEY WHERE WELL AWARE OF THE SITUATION BUT CONCEALED THAT INFORMATION FROM ME AND I LET THEM KNOW THAT I WAS PREGNANT AT THE TIME WITH OUR 4TH CHILD AND NEEDED THE 3RD ROW THATS WHY WE TRADED, SO I DID NOT APPRECIATE THAT INFORMATION BEING CONCEALED FROM ME AND PUTTING MY CHILDREN IN A UNSAFE VEHICLE. NISSAN HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST WRECK 3 TIMES THIS HAS CAUSED SO MUCH STRESS ON ME AND MY FAMILY.I HAVE REACHED OUT TO NISSAN CORP SEVERAL TIMES WITH THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT OR RETURN IT AND GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK.AND ALSO I DELIVERED MY BABY 10 DAYS LATER AFTER I PURCHASED THE PATHFINDER AND THE PATHERFINDER HAD ABOUT 70,000 MILES ON IT ALREADY SO THE TRANSMISSON COULD HAD EASILY WENT OUT AT ANY TIME SINCE IT HAD KNOWN PROBLEMS THAT WERE CONCEALED FROM ME AND CAUSED A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ME AND MY BABY BECAUSE WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE THEY CONCEALED THE INFORMATION KNOWING THAT IT COULD HAPPEN AT ANYTIME AND REFUSED TO LET ME KNOW EVEN THOUGH MY HUSBAND AND I BOTH ASKED IF ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND THEY TOLD US NO THEY CHECK THE VEHICLES BEFORE THEY SALE THEM BY THEIR MECHANICS.SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. MY PATHFINDER ONLY HAS 123,000 MILES ON IT.

IN APRIL 2016 WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. SUV MANAGED TO MAKE ANOTHER 10 MILES OR SO UNTIL THE SLIPPING WAS TO BAD TO CONTINUE DRIVING. STOPPED THE CAR AND ALLOWERD IT TO COOL. OPENED THE RADIATOR CAP AND DISCOVERED THAT THE TRASMISSION FLUD AND RADIATOR FLUID HAD MIXED. THE SUV IS NOW AT A REPAIR SHOP AND WILL NOT BE COVERED DUE TO BE OVER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY MILEAGE. I ALSO OWN A 2008 NISSAN FRONTIER THAT IS ALSO SUCCEPTIBLE TO THE SAME PROBLEM.

RADIATOR CRACKED AND LEAKED FLUID IN TO THE TRANSMISSION.

AFTER HEARING A LOT OF ABOUT THIS PROBLEM I DECIDED TO MAKE A COMPLAINT BECAUSE IT IS NOT FAIR FOR ANYONE TO GO THROUGH THIS. MY 2007 PATHFINDER SUDDENLY LOST COMPLETE POWER AND IT WOULDN'T START AT ALL AFTER HAVING A MECHANIC CHECK IT HE GAVE ME A DIAGNOSE THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION WHICH I DIDN'T BELIEVE I SAID WHAT DOES THE TRANSMISSION HAS TO DO WITH POWER BUT IT HAS A LOT TO DO AFTER I DID SOME RESEARCH IT COMES TO THIS. THE COOLANT ON THE VEHICLE GETS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION AND MIXES WITH THE OIL CAUSING THE TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) TO FAIL AND NOT TO SENT SIGNAL SO THE VEHICLE WILL START. SO NOW I HAVE TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR COST WILL BE MORE THAN 3000 DOLLARS. I BEEN THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS CAR AND HAVE TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT AS MUCH AS I CAN I JUST PAY OFF THIS CAR 2 YEARS AGO AND I DON'T THINK IS FAIR FOR US THAT HAD HAS THIS PROBLEMS TO PAID FOR IT I THINK NISSAN AMERICA SHOULD DO A RECALL ON THIS AND HELP US THE CONSUMERS.

VEHICLE STARTED VIBRATING AT 40MPH TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC THEY ADVISED THAT THE RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION FLUIDS MIXED, REPLACED THE RADIATOR FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION VEHICLE WAS AT 90,000 MILES DROVE THE CAR ANOTHER YEAR WITH SLIGHT VIBRATION STILL AT 40MPH NOW IT IS AT 106,000 MILES TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING WHEN IT WARMS UP WON'T COME OUT OF 2ND GEAR LOOKING AT HAVING TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION FOR 4500.00, THE RADIATOR WAS 400.00 PLUS AN OUTSIDE COOLER FOR THE TRANSMISSION AN ADDITIONAL 200.00. HAD I BEEN MADE AWARE OF A POTENTIAL PROBLEM I MAY HAVE BEEN COVERED BECAUSE UNDER 80,000 MILES I HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE NOT HEATING UP WHEN IDOL THE HEAT WOULD ONLY WORK WHEN I DROVE THE CAR AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON BUT THE DIAGNOSES WAS A FUEL CAP 3 GAS CAPS LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND I HAD A HEATING ELEMENT REPLACED BUT IT SEEMS THAT THE HEATING ISSUE IS A SIGN OF THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE MADE IT'S CUSTOMERS AWARE OF THE ISSUE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2010 WITH 13.000 MILES ON IT THEY WERE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THERE RESPONSE WAS WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE US TO DO I DON'T THINK THE CLASS ACTION SUIT WAS FAIR TO THE CONSUMER I DON'T QUALIFY DUE TO THE CUT OFF DATE AND NOW THE MILEAGE BUT I WOULD RATHER GIVE A TRANSMISSION SHOP 3500.00 RATHER THAN GIVE NISSAN 3500.00 I FEEL THAT I ALREADY PAID THEM ENOUGH AND FOR THEM TO KNOW OF THIS ISSUE AND NOT NOTIFY THE CONSUMER IS TERRIBLE I HAVE 3 CHILDREN I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY IN FACT I HAD MY 2 YEAR OLD IN THE VEHICLE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T COME OUT OF 2ND GEAR IT SLOWED FROM 60MPH TO 30MPH LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND SWITCH INTO NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO DRIVE TO GET IT TO SHIFT SO I COULD MAKE IT TO THE NEAREST EXIT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT CHANGE GEARS FROM DRIVE INTO REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

RADIATOR FAILURE ALLOWED COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION BOTH THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR NOW NEED TO BE REPLACED. NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME AND HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL. OUR VEHICLE DROPPED INTO 1ST GEAR WHILE DRIVING AND NEARLY RESULTED IN US GETTING REAR ENDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 15 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO REVERSE AND SHIFTED THE GEAR SHIFTER INTO REVERSE BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE BACKWARDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTAMINATION DUE TO ANTI FREEZE FROM THE RADIATOR. THE TECHNICIAN ALSO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

WHEN DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY DOING ABOUT 60 MPH OUR VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN WHEN I WAS ABOUT 3 OR 4 MILES FROM HOME AROUND 8:40 PM. I STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. THE ENGINE SOUNDED OK BUT THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO GO VERY FAST. SINCE I HAD NO PHONE AND I AM HANDICAPPED AND UNABLE TO WALK VERY FAR AND HAD A LOT OF PERISHABLE FOOD TO CARRY AND MY WIFE AND 9 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. I TRIED TO DRIVE HOME SINCE WE DON'T HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE. I BARELY MADE IT TO THE DRIVEWAY WHERE THE CAR SITS UNTIL I CAN GET A LOAN TO FIX OR BUY ANOTHER CAR. I ONLY HAVE 145,000 MILES ON THE CAR, I USUALLY GET 300 TO 400 THOUSAND MILES BEFORE I GET RID OF THEM.. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF A RECALL AND I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW FROM A DEALERSHIP. I AM PRETTY SURE IT'S THE TRANSMISSION BUT UNTIL I GET FUNDS I CANNOT PUT IT IN THE SHOP OR REPLACE IT.THIS IS FRIDAY THE DAY AFTER THE BREAKDOWN.
