TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE MADE A RUMBLING NOISE AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE RADIATOR HOSE HAD FAILED AND CAUSED COOLANT TO PENETRATE THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,238.

TRANSMISSION COOLANT LINE IN BOTTOM OF RADIATOR RUPTURED LEAKING COOLANT INTO TRANSMISSION AND TRANS FLUID INTO COOLING SYSTEM. *TR

MY NISSAN CAME TO A STOP WHILE DRIVING HOME. I WAS GOING NO MORE THAN 30 MPH AND MY CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND THEN IT STOPPED AND WOULD NOT MOVE ANYMORE. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND WOULD HAVE TO REBUILT IT. THE SHOP KEPT MY CAR FOR A MONTH AND WAS UNABLE TO FIX IT, EVEN AFTER REBUILDING THE TRANSMISSION. I FINALLY TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. THEY WOULD FIX IT, BUT IT WOULD COST ME $6,700. BECAUSE MY CAR IS OVER MILEAGE IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT NISSAN HAD OFFERED, I WOULD GET NO FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO FIX MY CAR--EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THIS IS JUST OUTRAGEOUS AND IRRESPONSIBLE THAT NISSAN WILL NOT RECALL THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR PROBLEM. LUCKILY I WAS NOT TRAVELING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT THE TIME THE TRANSMISSION FAILED OR THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN FATALITIES. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A NISSAN EVER AGAIN!! *TR

MY CAR HAS COOLANT IN TRANSMISSION AND STARTING TO GIVE ME PROBLEM I TOLD NISSAN 2 YEAR AGO WHEN MY CAR HAD 78,000 MILES BUT THEY SAID NO NOW IT HAS 103,000 AND MY TRANSMISSION IS BAD AND THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX ISSUE. *TR

THE COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. NISSAN MUST HAVE KNOWN THERE WAS AN ISSUE TO EXTENDING THE WARRANTY FROM 60,000 TO 80,000. THE PATHFINDER WAS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE FOR A FEW MONTHS BECAUSE SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT AND FINALLY FOUND OUT THE ISSUE WAS COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AT 83,000 MILES. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT VEHICLE FROM A SMALL DEALERSHIP WHO PROMISED TO BE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, MY HUSBAND DROVE THE CAR FOR ABOUT 8 MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD AND AS SOON AS WE HIT THE HIGHWAY, NOT EVEN BEING 40 MILES THE ENGINE LIGHT LIT UP AND STARTED JERKING!! CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WILL SAID THEY ARE NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE, HAD TO PAY TO HAVE SOMEONE TOWED MY VEHICLE TO MY HOME. *TR

2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER SE THE RADIATOR SEEMS TO HAVE A BAD LEAK AND BAD SMELL, MOTOR KEEPS OVER HEATING CAUSING IT NOT TO BE DRIVEN UNTIL MOTOR HAS COOLED OFF, I NEED TO KEEP PUTTING WATER IN RADIATOR. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO JERK AND MAKES A LOUD SOUND WHEN CHANGING SHIFTS AND DRIVING. THE MOTOR ALSO HAS A SQUEAKY SOUND WHEN DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR FOR REPAIR AND THE SAME THING HAPPEN AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME EVEN WORSE I CAN NOT AFFORD THE HIGH NISSAN SERVICE AND PART PRICES. I AM STILL PAYING ON THIS CAR, NISSAN SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM AT NO CHARGE IF THERE IS A DEFECT THAT CAUSED SO MUCH TROUBLE TO MY CAR NOT TO MENTIONED THE SAFETY OF MY THREE CHILDREN AND I. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION CROSS CONTAMINATION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK ON THE EXPRESSWAY. THE PAST FEW DAYS THERE HAS BEEN A VIBRATION, A CLUNKING NOISE AND VERY SLOW ACCELERATION. UNTIL RECENTLY, THERE HAVE BEEN NO SIGNS OF ENGINE PROBLEMS. TODAY ON THE EXPRESSWAY THE TRUCK STARTED VIBRATING BADLY AND LOST ACCELERATION. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT I ALMOST CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT SCHEDULE WITH NISSAN ON FRIDAY DUE TO THE RECENT SYMPTOMS; HOWEVER, AFTER THIS MORNING I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I SPOKE WITH SOMEONE AT THE SHOP WHO INDICATED TAN EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS ISSUED FOR RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM NISSAN AND I CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN FOR REPAIR. I ALMOST CAUSED A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR
