2006 Nissan Pathfinder Other Problems

Your transmission suddenly stopped working without any warning signs beforehand. This is a complete loss of transmission function that requires immediate diagnosis and likely repair or replacement of transmission components.

Your car is experiencing a leak where coolant from the radiator is mixing with your transmission fluid, which is causing your transmission control module (the computer that manages the transmission) to fail. This happens when there's a breach in the cooling system that allows radiator fluid to contaminate the transmission. The fix will likely involve finding and sealing the leak, flushing both the cooling and transmission systems, and possibly replacing the transmission control module.

LATELY, MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER HAS BEEN STALLING OR SHUTTING DOWN WHILE I AM DRIVING MY VEHICLE. I AM NOT SURE WHY, BUT EVERYTHING STAYS ON AND RUNS FINE, IT IS JUST THAT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE. I HAVE TO MOVE MY CAR TO THE SIDE, IF I CAN GET IT THERE ON TIME, AND TURN IT OFF. THEN I WAIT A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND START IT BACK IT. AT TIMES, AFTER THE STARTUP, THE CAR WILL RUN FINE, BUT AT OTHER TIMES, I WILL BE ABLE TO DRIVE FOR A LITTLE BIT AND THEN MY CAR STALLS AGAIN OR DIES DOWN. I ALSO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE FUEL SENSOR. IT DOES NOT WORK AND THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS, BUT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL INTO THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER FUEL SENSON RECALL. I HAVE ALWAYS CAUSED NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF MY VEHICLE STALLING OR RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY BECAUSE MY FUEL LEVER DOES NOT WORK BECAUSE OF THE FUEL SENSOR.

TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING BAD BECAUSE MY RADIATOR FAILURE OF MIXING FLUIDS AND NOW IM IN A BIND WITH ONLYBONE VEHICAL AND MY ONLY WAY TO WORK... I HAVE 3 KIDS AND I NEED HELP GETTING THIS FIXED SO I DONT LOOSE MY JOB... PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN DO SOMETHING FOR ME THANKS SO MUCH

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN OUT IF NOWHERE IT GOT SLIGHTLY SHAKY RUMBLY FEELING AND THEN IT UP SHIFTED VERY VERY HARD AND REDLINED THE VEHICLE SO I HIT BRAKES AND GOT PULLED OVER AND TURNED IT OFF. I GOT IT TOWED BACK HOME AND THEN NEXT DAY TOWED TO SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RADIATOR MALFUNCTIONED AND IT HAD BASICLY DRAINED ANTIFREEZE INTO MY TRANSMISSION. SAID THAT PROBLEM IS NOTORIOUS FOR THESE VEHICLES AND THAT I WOULD NEED NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR NOW.

CATALYTIC CONVERTERS FRONT AND BACK HAVE TO BE REPLACED

CAR STARTED GIVING PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION IN THAT THE VEHICLE DOESN'T MOVE WHEN YOU RELEASE THE BREAK, YOU HAVE TO ACCELERATE IN ORDER FOR IT TO START MOVING. AFTER TAKING IT TO A NISSAN DEALER IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT IT IS A FACTORY ISSUE THAT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY PATHFINDER MODELS, IN WHICH THE WATER FROM THE RADIATOR GETS INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND DAMAGES THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OF THE TRANSMISSION. THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING TO MANY PEOPLE. THE ESTIMATED COST FROM A NISSAN DEALER IS AROUND $6,000 WHICH IS NOW MORE THAN THE CAR IS WORTH.

NISSAN CLASS ACTION SUIT-OIL COOLER SETTLEMENT. TWO DAYS AGO I TOOK MY NISSAN 2006 PATHFINDER INTO MY MECHANIC AFTER HAVING CONTINUED SHIFTING ISSUES WITH IT. HE SAW AN OILY SLUDGE ( TRANSMISSION FLUID) IN THE RADIATOR, DIAGNOSED A RADIATOR LEAK CAUSING FLUID EXCHANGE BETWEEN RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. I LIVE ON A REMOTE ISLAND IN SOUTHEAST ALASKA, SO THERE IS NO ACCESS TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. HIS SHOP COULD NOT FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION SO HAD ME CALL A SHOP OFF-ISLAND. I LEARNED FROM THIS MECHANIC OF REPEAT ISSUES WITH NISSAN'S LEAKY RADIATORS. HE SAID I SHOULD PURSUE CALLING NISSAN FOR COMPENSATION OF SOME KIND. I DID CALL, RECEIVED A CASE NUMBER AND TODAY DURING A CONVERSATION WITH A REGIONAL CONSUMER AFFAIRS AGENT FOR NISSAN, WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT PERTAINING TO THIS VERY ISSUE BUT THAT I MISSED THE FILING DATE AND THEREFORE NISSAN COULD NOT HELP ME. I CALLED NISSAN IN JUNE OF 2016 WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO ACCESS TO ANY NISSAN DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE. I CALLED NISSAN THEN AND RECEIVED A CASE NUMBER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. THERE WAS NEVER ANY MENTION OF THE FLUID EXCHANGE ISSUE THAT COULD BE CAUSING MY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD EXTEND THE FILING DATE FOR COMPENSATION UNDER THIS CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AT THE VERY WORST AND REMOVE THE CO-PAY AMOUNT. THIS IS THEIR FAULT. QUITE HONESTLY THERE SHOULD BE A TOTAL RECALL OF ANYONE OWNING THIS FAULTY RADIATOR. AS I SAID I LIVE ON A REMOTE ISLAND SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES AND A COUPLE OF FERRY BOAT RIDES FROM ANY NISSAN DEALERSHIP, AND NOW HAVE NO OPTIONS BEFORE ME. NISSAN ONLY DISCLOSED THE ISSUE BECAUSE I BROUGHT IT TO THEM, AND THEN OFFERED UP INFORMATION KNOWING THAT I WAS NOT ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE ANY OF THE COMPENSATION. I AM DONE WITH EVER OWNING ANOTHER NISSAN!

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN COMING TO A STOP LIGHT SEVERAL TIMES THE VEHICLE HAS EITHER STALLED COMING TO THE LIGHT WHEN I DEPRESS THE BRAKE OR IT STALLS ONCE I AM SITTING WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE I HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK INTO THE IPDM ECM OR THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR PROBLEM AS STATED IN OTHER COMPLAINTS I WILL DO THAT THIS WEEK. IT HAS STALLED POSSIBLY 6 TO 7 TIMES NOW 2 TIMES EXITING THE HIGHWAY AND COMING TO THE STOP LIGHT AND OTHER TIMES ON CITY STREETS IN TRAFFIC ROLLING AND ATTEMPTED TO STALL OR COMING TO THE LIGHT INSTALLED ONCE I STOPPED OR COMING TO THE LIGHT

RADIATOR FLUID LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION. HAD TO REPLACE BOTH PARTS.

TRANMISION AND RADIATOR

PURCHASED PATHFINDER IN 2013 WITH 140,000 MILES FROM A DEALERSHIP. AFTER LESS THAN 3 YEARS AND 20,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION HAS GONE AND IT WILL COST OVER 4,000 TO FIX WHILE I AM STILL FINANCING OVER 9,000 FOR IT. ALL EXTENDED WARRANTY DEADLINES AND LIMITATIONS HAVE EXPIRED BEFORE I HAD EVEN PURCHASED THE CAR. IT IS AMAZING THAT FOR SUCH A SEVERE ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN DETRIMENTAL TO MANY BASED ON MY RESEARCH, THAT NISSAN DOES NOT HAVE MORE REALISTIC AND HELPFUL WARRANTY STANDARDS. I AM NOT A LOSS AT WHAT TO DO AND NISSAN OR DEALERSHIP HAS OFFERED ANY HELP.

COOLANT IS MIXING WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND IS CREATING THE CAR GETTING OVER HEATED, THE MIX IS GETTING DISCHARGE IN A FORMER OF A BROWN CHOCOLATE MIXTURE

TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED IN 2012 TO FIND OUT OUR VEHICLE WAS AFFECTED BY THE INTERMIX THE RADIATOR CRACKED AND LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION THEY GAVE US AN ESTIMATED COST OF OVER $10,000.00 STATED IT WAS NO GOOD AND TO TRADE IT IN ASAP SAID WE SHOULDNT DRIVE IT THAT IT WAS DANGEROUS SO WE PARKE DIT. I WAS DEVISTATED WE DID EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER MADE REPORTS CALLED EVERYONE POSSIBLE NOTHING! TRIED TO SUE HOWEVER I FELL ILL (CANCER) AND COULDN'T KEEP OUR HEARING APT HERE IN SACRAMENTO CA. ITS STILL PARKED IN OUR GARAGE.

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED HUNDREDS OF TIMES. I HAVE OVER 100,000 MILES, AND WAS PUT IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE DRIVING MY CAR. AS I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS TWO LANES AND INTO THE PATH OF ONCOMING VEHICLES, THE CAR STUTTERED, ALL OF THE LIGHTS WERE FLASHING, POWER STEERING WENT OUT, AND THE GAS NOR BREAK WOULD WORK. I WAS HALFWAY THROUGH MY TURN WHEN I REALIZED MY PATHFINDER JUST SHUT DOWN-I HAD NO WARNINGS, OR TROUBLE WITH THE CAR COMING UP TO MAKING MY TURN. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT I WAS ABLE TO COAST ONTO THE STREET I WAS TURNING ONTO IT WAS BY THE GRACE OF GOD I DIDN'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. COME TO FIND OUT THE RADIATOR LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING IT TO CONTAMINATE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND ESSENTIALLY BLOW THE TRANSMISSION. REPAIR IS OVER $7000 FROM TWO DIFFERENT BODY SHOPS AS WELL AS A NISSAN CERTIFIED SERVICE CENTER. I OF COURSE WAS NOT HAPPY WHEN I WAS TOLD MY MILEAGE EXCEEDED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE. I WAS ALSO SAD TO FIND OUT NISSAN WASN'T DOING ANYTHING FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS, DESPITE THE MANY MANY COMPLAINTS AND LAWSUITS FILED AGAINST NISSAN WASN'T DOING ANYTHING FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS, DESPITE THE MANY MANY COMPLAINTS AND LAWSUITS FILED AGAINST THEM. THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT CONSUMER SAFETY'EVEN AFTER THE EXACT SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING WITH HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF THEIR VEHICLES. I AM HOPING NISSAN WILL DO THE RIGHT THING, AND MAKE IT RIGHT. THEY SHOULDN'T BE WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO DIE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE TO MAKE A CHANGE. IT SEEMS LIKE THEY DON'T CARE TO DO ANYTHING AND LESS THERE IS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH CAUSED BY THIS ISSUE

RADIATOR LEAKS TO THE TRANSMISSION AND FUME LIKE WHITE MILKY COMING OUT OF THE RADIATOR WHEN WE OPEN IT AND THE SAME STUFF FOUND INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. LICENSE MECHANIC WAS CONSULTED AND HE FOUND THAT RADIATOR WAS LEAKING TO THE TRANSMISSION WHICH DAMAGE BOTH RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION AND I WILL NEED NEW RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THIS 2006 PATHFINDER AND RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.ACCORDING TO MY INTERNET RESEARCH ON THIS PARTICULAR 2006 PATHFINDER MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINED EXPRIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM.

I'M CURRENTLY FINANCING A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER WHICH I PURCHASED JUNE 2012 AT 78000 MI. IN FEBRUARY OF 2014 I WENT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS OIL IN THE ANTIFREEZE COMPARTMENT. A FEW DAYS LATER I NOTICED THAT MY CAR "SHUTTERED"EVERY TIME I SHIFT GEAR TO REVERSE OR TO DRIVE. I NOTICED MY VEHICLE "LOSING POWER" WHEN I ACCELERATED. AT ONE INSTANCE I WAS DRIVING UP A HILL AND THE VEHICLE BASICALLY LOST POWER AND IT STARTED TO REVERSE BACKWARDS WITHOUT THE GEAR BEING SHIFTED INTO REVERSE. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE CAR WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKES AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. SCARIEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND I SENT IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A MANUFACTURED DEFECT WITH THE MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR. THE ENGINE COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO BECOME DAMAGED. AFTER MONTHS OF CALLING NISSAN NORTH AMERICA THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I FOUND THAT ABSURD SEEING THERE WAS A SETTLEMENT FOR THIS ISSUE MY CAR WAS EXPERIENCE. I ENDED UP PAYING $4000 TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION/RADIATOR AND OTHER ISSUES CAUSES BY THIS MANUFACTURED DEFECT THROUGH A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN APRIL 2014. A YEAR GOES BY AND I'M NOW I'M EXPERIENCING THE SAME "SHUTERRING" ISSUE WHEN SHIFTING GEARS AND I NOTICED THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING ONCE AGAIN. THIS IS MY FIRST EVER VEHICLE. IT'S ABSURD WHAT NISSAN HAS DONE. THERE HAS TO BE JUSTICE FOR NISSAN OWNERS. NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY A NISSAN MODELED CAR. NEVER!!!!!

ON 8/11/2015 I CONTACTED NISSAN REGIONAL TO FILE A COMPLAINT, 19756783, ABOUT A POSSIBLE ISSUE WITH MY TRUCK. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE TRUCK IN TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BUT WAS TOLD I HAD TO PAY A $139.99 DIAGNOSTIC FEE. I DIDN'T HAVE THOSE FUNDS AT THE TIME. MY TRUCK IS NOW STARTING TO SHOW SIGNS OF JERKING WHILE DRIVING. A MONTH AGO , I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FLUIDS MAY BE MIXING TOGETHER. AUTO MECHANIC SAID THE FLUIDS LOOKED MILKY. I DRIVE MY FOUR CHILDREN , AGES 11 MONTHS TO 8 YEARS OF AGE ON A DAILY BASIS TO AND FROM SCHOOL AND AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES. WE HAVE FAMILY IN THE KENOSHA, WISCONSIN AREA WHICH WE OFTEN FREQUENT. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A HIGH SPEED. WHENEVER I HAVE TO GO FAR, I DRIVE OUR SEDAN WHICH SEATS 5 PASSENGERS, YET THERE ARE 6 PEOPLE IN OUR FAMILY. I AM AWARE THIS IS NOT SAFE, HOWEVER I FEEL THAT IT IS SAFER THAN DRIVING MY TRUCK WHICH CAN STALL AT ANY TIME NOW. AT THIS TIME, OUR CHILDREN ARE OUR FIRST PRIORITY AND WE WANT TO PREVENT ANY MISHAPS TO HAPPEN. WE DON'T WANT TO BE STRANDED WITH OUR FOUR CHILDREN. I HAVE MY TRUCK MAINTENANCED QUITE OFTEN BECAUSE I TAKE PRIDE IN DRIVING A NISSAN. I DON'T WANT TO MY EXPERIENCE FROM NISSAN TO GO FROM POSITIVE TO NEGATIVE. NISSAN, PLEASE LISTEN TO MY CONCERN AS WELL AS OTHERS. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY THE $3,000 DEDUCTIBLE YOU ARE ASKING FOR TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR REPLACED. WE ARE ON A FIXED INCOME AS MY HUSBAND IS THE ONLY BREAD-WINNER IN OUR HOME. PLEASE HELP.....

BEWARE 2006 PATHFINDERS RADIATOR PROBLEMS THEN TRANSMISSION DIES. OUR TRANSMISSION WENT SUDDENLY AS WE WERE ON A MINI TRIP. WE GOT STUCK SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO GET HOME. VERY DANGEROUS. THANK GOD WE DID NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND NO ONE HIT US AS WE WERE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY. WE WERE LUCKY WE GOT HOME SAFELY BUT IT WAS A SCARY AND DANGEROUS EXPERIENCE. WE DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. WE THEN GET IT TOWED AND OF CAUSE ITS THE TRANSMISSION. SAME PROBLEM EVERYONE IS HAVING WITH THESE CARS. NISSAN SHOULD OF HAD THESE CARS RECALLED OR EXTENDED THE WARRANTIES SO THAT NO ONE HAS TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM AND GO THROUGH THE HELL WE WENT THROUGH ON OUR MINI TRIP TRYING TO GET HOME SAFELY. THEY ARE RISKING PEOPLE'S LIVES.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME MY RADIATOR LEAKED FLUIDS INTO TRANSMISSION AND BOTH NEED TO BE REPLACED. I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS REALLY TERRIBLE THEY WON'T ADMIT MANUFACTURERS FAULT IN THIS. SO NOW STILL HAVE TO MAKE PAYMENTS FOR THE CAR WE CAN'T EVEN DRIVE FOR ANOTHER 2 YEARS AND THE REPAIRS CAME AT OVER $7000. CAR IS A NECESSITY TO PEOPLE TO MAKE A LIVING FOR THEIR FAMILIES. WE HAVE 3 SMALL CHILDREN THAT HAVE TO GET TO SCHOOL AND DAYCARE SO THANKS NISSAN YOU LOST ANOTHER CUSTOMER. HOPE EVERYONE STOPS BUYING YOUR CARS.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO RADIATOR HOSE LEAK. CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT MILAGE LIMITS EXCEEDED. I HAD THE CAR IN MULTIPLE TIMES THIS WAS NEVER DISCLOSED TO ME. VEHICLE PAID OFF 12/2012- FAILURE 3/2013. TOTAL COST FOR NEW TRANSMISSION/RADIATOR WAS 7,000.00. I HAD TO BORROW THE MONEY SINCE THIS VEHICLE WAS MY ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM WORK.

TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING ON THE WAY TO THE REPAIR SHOP TO GET IT LOOKED AT. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION, IT REFUSED TO GO INTO GEAR AND CAUSED ME TO SLOW DOWN CONSIDERABLY, RESULTING IN A NEAR ACCIDENT WITH THE CAR BEHIND ME AND THE CAR GOING AROUND ME. THE RADIATOR HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION, A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THIS PARTICULAR YEAR OF NISSAN PATHFINDER.

I WAS DRIVING UP A MOUNTAIN ROAD WHEN SUDDENLY MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE AND LOSE POWER. THE ENGINE THEN BEGAN TO REV AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS. I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN ALL AVAILABLE GEARS INCLUDING REVERSE AND THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV. THE POLICE WERE CALLED AND I WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY PASSING VEHICLES MULTIPLE TIMES. AFTER 55 MINUTES THE POLICE ARRIVED AND REQUESTED AN EXPEDITED TOW. VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED FROM THE ROADWAY. AFTER PAYING THE $135.00 TOW BILL TO THE LOCAL TOW YARD I WAS ABLE TO CALL AAA AND HAVE THEM TOW ME THE ALMOST 90 MILES BACK TO MY HOME IN NJ. THIS WAS OF COURSE THE SATURDAY OF MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND SO NOTHING WAS GOING TO BE OPEN UNTIL TUESDAY MORNING. TUESDAY MORNING I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL, REPUTABLE TRANSMISSION PLACE. ULTIMATELY THEY TOLD ME THAT WATER HAD GOTTEN INTO MY TRANSMISSION AND IT WOULD COST $3,188.60 TO FIX. THE TRANSMISSION PLACE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE SEEN MANY NISSANS WITH THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. AFTER GOING HOME AND GOOGLING NISSAN PATHFINDER TRANSMISSION I WAS APPALLED TO SEE ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT NISSAN PATHFINDER (AND OTHER MODEL NISSANS) TRANSMISSIONS. I WAS LITERALLY TAKEN BACK BY IT AND COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. I THEN CONTACTED MY NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BEFORE NOVEMBER 14, 2014 OR IF I HAD LESS THAN 80,000 MILES. MY TRUCK HAD JUST OVER 84,000 MILES. I THEN CALLED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. THEY ADVISED ME THAT IN ORDER FOR THEM TO DETERMINE WHETHER THEY WOULD COVER ANY OF THE EXPENSES INCURRED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM I WOULD I HAVE TO TOW MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND HAVE THEM TAKE A LOOK AT IT. ONCE COMPLETED WITH THAT, THEY WOULD SUBMIT A REPORT TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA TO DETERMINE WHETHER ANY OR ALL OF THE INCURRED EXPENSES WOULD BE COVERED...POTENTIALLY TAKING SEVERAL WEEKS OR MONTHS WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT ANYTHING WOULD BE COVERED.

OUR PATHFINDER STARTED MAKING A NOISE LIKE YOU ARE DRIVING IN THE RUTTED PAVEMENT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THAT IS INTENDED TO WAKE PEOPLE UP WHO'VE FALLEN ASLEEP. IT ONLY DID THIS OCCASIONALLY AT FIRST, BUT GOT WORSE QUICKLY. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO OUR MECHANIC AND HE HAS DISCOVERED THAT IT IS A RESULT OF LIQUID FROM THE RADIATOR SOMEHOW LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. HE HAS ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM WITH OUR MAKE AND MODEL OF NISSAN. THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS, BUT IT IS A VERY COSTLY AND SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE PAYING TO REPAIR. *TR

RADIATOR COOLANT WENT INTO THE TRANSMISSION. CAUSING IT TO STOP RUNNING AND STUCK IN 4TH GEAR..... ALMOST MAKING IT OFF RTE 22 SO I WON'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT..... *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.

SPONTANEOUS LOSS OF POWER DUE TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE. RADIATOR COOLANT FLUID FOUND CONTAMINATING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. NEW TRANSMISSION AND NEW RADIATOR REQUIRED FOR REPAIR.

I LIVE IN A VERY COLD PLACE DURING THE WINTER AND WOULD LIKE THE SENSOR RECALL REPLACEMENT PERFORMED FOR MY NISSAN PATHFINDER 2006. *TR

I GOT THIS VEHICLE FROM NISSAN DEALERSHIP ON 3-11-2006. THIS DEALERSHIP DID FRAUD. FIRST OF ALL THEY TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NO MILES ON IT BUT IT DID HAD MILES ON IT AND PLENTY OF THEM. THEY GAVE ME THE WRONG CAR. THE CAR THEY SHOWED ME THAT I WAS GOING TO RECEIVED IS NOT THE CAR I RECEIVED. WHEN I CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WAS TOO LATE. THIS DEALERSHIP IS A COMPLETE LIAR. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT GETS BUSINESS IN THE FIRST PLACE. I WANT TO CANCEL THE PURCHASE OF THIS CAR. *JB
