2007 Nissan Pathfinder Transmission Problems

Your radiator has defective internal seals that allowed coolant and transmission fluid to mix together. This cross-contamination damaged your transmission and engine. The radiator will need to be replaced and your transmission and engine may require repair or replacement depending on the extent of the damage.

Your transmission started slipping and the vehicle moved slowly, then wouldn't start at all (error code U1000). After replacing the starter and a fuse, the car still wouldn't start reliably. You discovered the transmission fluid looked like strawberry milkshake (indicating coolant contamination) and the radiator fluid was dark, suggesting internal radiator failure has allowed coolant to mix with transmission fluid. This may require transmission fluid flush, radiator replacement, and possibly transmission repair or replacement.

While driving, your engine RPMs suddenly spiked and caused the car to sputter and rev unexpectedly, nearly causing an accident. At stop lights, the car hesitates and barely moves forward, feeling like it might stall. You've already replaced the radiator, hoses, and transmission fluid, but the transmission problems persist. This could involve diagnosing the transmission control system, engine sensors, or internal transmission damage.

Your transmission has needed to be replaced twice. This suggests a serious and recurring problem with your vehicle's transmission system that has required complete replacement rather than repair.

Your transmission fluid has water contamination in it. Water in transmission fluid can cause transmission damage and failure over time. You should have the transmission fluid inspected and likely replaced with fresh fluid to remove the water contamination.

Your vehicle wouldn't start after you turned off the ignition, even though the lights and electrical systems worked normally. A shop diagnosed this as a vehicle control module issue. After this problem, your transmission began skipping 1st and 2nd gears and starting in 3rd gear instead on the automatic transmission. The repair may involve diagnosing and replacing the vehicle control module and having the transmission inspected or serviced.

Your vehicle shakes or vibrates once you reach speeds of 40 mph or higher. This vibration becomes noticeable at highway speeds and suggests an issue with the engine or fuel delivery system. A mechanic will likely need to inspect your ignition system, fuel injectors, and engine balance to identify the cause.

OUR TRANSMISSION STARTED SHUTTERING IN 2018. TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. THERE WAS NO MILKY FLUID SO WE SIMPLY REPLACED TRANSMISSION WITH A USED TRANNY. 6 MONTHS LATER 2ND TRANNY FAILED WITH ONLY 1ST & 2ND WORKING. WE TOOK BOTH TRANSMISSIONS TO A SPECIALIST. HE EXPLAINED THAT THE CURRENT ANTIFREEZE DOES NOT LEAVE MILKY FLUID AND BOTH TRANSMISSIONS WERE CONTAMINATED. THIS MEANS THAT THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE FAILURE OF BOTH. HE TOLD US THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE PATHFINDER.

SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION.

RADIATOR WAS DEFECTIVE (ORIGINAL) AND LEAKED COOLANT INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSING BREAKDOWN OF TRANSMISSION, NEUTRAL/PARK SENSOR, COMPUTER. NEED TO REPLACE RADIATOR, REBUILD TRANSMISSION AND REPLACE SENOR. $5K JOB. NEVER WAS NOTIFIED OF DEFECTIVE RADIATOR PROBLEM AND THUS DID NOT KNOW THAT THIS WOULD BE AN ISSUE. NISSAN WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER WITH 112,000 MILES WAS DRIVEN TO FRED ANDERSON NISSAN IN ASHEVILLE FOR SERVICE REGARDING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING IMPROPERLY. AFTER WAITING 4 HOURS, I WAS DELIVERED A QUOTE FOR OVER $7,000 REGARDING REPLACEMENT OF MY RADIATOR, TRANSMISSION, THERMOSTAT, AND AIRBAG SYSTEM. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 6 MONTHS AGO WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM FLOW HONDA OF WINSTON-SALEM.

THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING ROUGH. AT 65 MPH ON I25 THE TRANNY CLANKED, AND DROPPED TO FIRST GEAR. I HAD TO PULL OVER, RESTART. IT DID IT AGAIN, BUT HAD A BURNING SMELL. IT THREW THE CODE P1774. A SINGLE DEALERSHIP CARE FOR ALL MAINTENANCE WORK, ON TIME FOR 10 YEARS, DID ALL RECALL TYPE WORK. FIX QUOTES ARE COMING BACK BETWEEN $3500-$4500, WHICH AFTER BUYING A HOUSE AND A SURPRISE PREGNANCY I CAN'T AFFORD PUTTING MY LIVELIHOOD AT RISK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE CONTACT CALLED BILL COLE AUTO MALL ASHLAND AT 606-29-2288 (2701 WINCHESTER AVE, ASHLAND, KY 41101) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 111,000.

THE VEHICLE STARTED VIBRATING VERY ROUGHLY AND LOUDLY DURING ACCELERATION, THEN SUDDENLY THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IT ON A VERY BUSY FRONTAGE ROAD TO THE HIGHWAY. SHE WAS ABLE TO STEER IT ONTO THE SHOULDER BEFORE IT STOPPED COASTING; AND SEVERAL PEOPLE STOPPED TO HELP HER PUSH IT INTO SAFETY IN A NEARBY PARKING LOT. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP, THE MECHANIC INFORMED US THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID HAD LEAKED THROUGH CRACKS INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, CAUSING IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. UPON RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, WE DISCOVERED THIS WAS A KNOWN AND ACKNOWEDGED PROBLEM WITH 2005-2010 NISSAN PATHFINDERS, BUT NEITHER A RECALL NOR A WARNING WAS EVER ISSUED. WE ARE NOW BEYOND THE WARRANTY COVERAGE IN TIME AND IN MILEAGE, SO NISSAN WILL NOT COVER ANY OF THE EXPENSES TO REPAIR.

COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID ARE MIXED CAUSING THE CAR TO NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. I WAS NOT TOLD OF THIS ISSUE WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2010 FROM THE NISSAN DEALER - EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A KNOWN CONDITION. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING, SO IT'LL BE MY 3RD TRANSMISSION. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, THE CAR HAD 70K MILES. NOW IT HAS 115,000. SO THE 2ND TRANSMISSION LASTED ABOUT 45K MILES. NISSAN WANTS ME TO PAY $3000 OF THE $5,850 ESTIMATE. IF I KNEW THIS CAR WAS GOING TO BE THIS MUCH TROUBLE, I WOULDN'T HAVE PURCHASED IT. I REALLY THINK NISSAN SHOULD BE DOING A BETTER JOB OWNING UP TO THIS ISSUE AND COVERING THE EXPENSES FOR THEIR POOR QUALITY.

TAKATA RECALL . WE WERE ON OUR WAY BACK HOME WITH OUR CHILDREN AND A THE PATHFINDER MADE IT MADE A LOUD NOISE SO WE PULLED OVER OFF THE HIGHWAY AND THE PATHFINDER WOULDN'T START. WE HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO TOW US HOME. WE WAITED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR 3 HOURS WITH A 10 YEAR OLD AND A 3 MONTH OLD. WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED AND AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THE 2007 PATHFINDER APPEARS TO HAVE A WIDESPREAD DEFECT WHERE COOLANT LEAKS INTO THE TRANSMISSION, CAUSING TRANSMISSION FAILURE AROUND 100,000 MILES. REPAIR COSTS ARE TYPICALLY UPWARDS OF $4,500.

I BOUGHT MY 07 PATHFINDER IN JULY AND THE DEALERSHIP HAD DONE REPAIR ON THE RADIATOR AT THEIR EXPENSE, AND REPLACED THE COOLANT AND TRANNY FLUIDS AND STATED THERE WAS NO CROSS CONTAMINATION. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE STOPPED SHIFTING PROPERLY AND WE COULDN'T TELL IF IT WAS THE TRANNY, ABS, OR 4WD GETTING CAUGHT. AS OF YESTERDAY THE TRANNY WOULDN'T CHANGE GEARS. RESTARTING THE CAR HELPED. BUT SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALL THERE IS NO HISTORY OF ANY OTHER WORK. ALL MAINTENANCE WAS KEPT UP WITH THE SAME DEALERSHIP FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE VEHICLES LIFE. AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT A STOP, AND MOVED TO ACCELERATE IT WOULDN'T GO INTO GEAR/DRIVE THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WOULD ?CATCH? AND WOULD LAUNCH.

VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT 200,000 MILES. WITHOUT NOTICE AND UNDER USUAL CHECKS AND TUNE-UPS THE RADIATOR FAILED CAUSING THE ENGINE COOLANT TO MIX WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. NOW, SUBSEQUENTLY THE TRANSMISSION HAS COOLANT MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID. NISSAN HAS TAKEN NO OWNERSHIP OF THE DEFECT EXCEPT TO RECOMMEND REPLACING THE RADIATOR AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. MY VEHICLE IS NOW IN THE SHOP AWAITING A $3,500.00 TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL TO SEE WHAT IS SALVAGEABLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE TEMPERATURE GAUGE PEGGED OUT AT THE HIGH SIDE AND THERE WAS A BURNING METAL SMELL. I WAS TOLD BY TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS THAT THE RADIATOR FAILED AND LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE IS BEYOND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT NISSAN GAVE AND THEY NEVER CONTACTED ME TO LET ME KNOW THAT THERE EVEN WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT GEARS, THE CONTACT HEARD A RATTLING NOISE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SHOP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AFTER RADIATOR FLUID MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. WE BECAME FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WHEN MY DAUGHTER COULD NOT START THE CAR. SHE WAS AT A PARK WITH HER TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AND 50 MILES FROM HOME. IT WAS VERY DISTRESSING. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WILL CHARGE OVER $4,000 PLUS TAXES FOR THE REPAIRS. MOST OF THIS EXPENSE COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF WE HAD BEEN INFORMED ABOUT THE DEFECT AT AN EARLIER TIME. ## VIN PASSED ## NISSAN PATHFINDER 2007 ##

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE GEAR DID NOT SWITCH TO A HIGHER GEAR. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED THE RADIATOR, AND ALSO FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE MONTHS LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (NORTH PLAINFIELD NISSAN, 545 US 22, NORTH PLAINFIELD, NJ 07060) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD BE TRADED IN OR REPAIRED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 89,000. UPDATED 10/05/17*LJ *TR

I HAD NOTICED FLUID LEAKING FROM UNDER THE FRONT /RIGHT PORTION OF MY VEHICLE AFTER I PARKED. I OPENED THE HOOD AND THE RESERVE CAP TO THE RADIATOR HAD COME LOOSE. AFTER LETTING MY VEHICLE COOL, I INSPECTED BOTH THE RESERVE TANK AND RADIATOR AND NOTICED THE FLUID WAS NOW A MILKY/FROTHY SUBSTANCE. AFTER SOME DETECTIVE WORK, I LEARNED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH PATHFINDERS FROM 2005- THROUGH 2010 THAT NISSAN HAS IGNORED TO FIX. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER IN THE RADIATOR ASSEMBLY "FAILS" CAUSING CONTAMINATION TO THE INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS ,AND DAMAGE TO THE INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COMPUTER. THERE ARE NO WARNING SIGNS UP TO OR JUST PRIOR TO THE FAILURES. AFTER CONTACTING NISSAN AND RECEIVING A DENIAL TO FIX OUR TRUCK UNDER A WARRANTY, I AM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE WITH SEVERAL "THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS" IN REPAIRS ALL DUE TO NISSAN IGNORING A KNOWN DEFECT AND NOT ISSUING A RECALL ON ALL VEHICLES IN THE "KNOWN" YEAR BRACKET WITH THESE ISSUES. I'M SURE NOTHING WILL BE DONE REGARDING THIS ISSUE DUE TO THERE NOT BEING A MAJOR LOSS OF LIVES INVOLVED, I.E. TAKATA AIRBAGS,BUT I FIND IT IS MY DUTY TO ADD MY NAME TO AN ALREADY HEFTY LIST OF OTHER NISSAN PATHFINDER OWNERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATED, IT EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FLUID HAD MIXED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000. UPDATED 10/18/17*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED MALFUNCTIONING AIRBAGS. *TR

AT AROUND 91000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SPORADICALLY STAYING IN 2ND GEAR AND WOULD JERK AT TIMES WHEN SHIFTING .FINALLY THE TRANSMISSION QUIT SHIFTING AT ALL OUT OF 2ND GEAR. AFTER INVESTIGATION WE FOUND COOLANT HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. WHICH CAUSED A CATASTROPHIC BREAKDOWN.

TRANSMISSION ISSUES LIKE EVERY OTHER NISSAN PATHFINDER OWNER HAS REPORTED.. SAME ISSUE, RADIATOR LEAKS INTO TRANSMISSION WITH NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER. HOW IN THE WORLD WAS THIS NOT A RECALL FROM NISSAN & THE NHTSA.. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD AND FORTUNATELY IN OUR SITUATION WE BARELY MADE IT TO OUR DESTINATION BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED... $ 6K LATER OUT OF POCKET WITH NISSAN REFUSING TO RECOGNIZE ANY TRANSMISSION OR RADIATOR ISSUES OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY.

WE PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER FROM CARMAX IN POMPANO BEACH FL IN 2012, DURING THAT TIME THE CAR HAD 55,000 MILES ON IT. WE ASK FOR THE HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THAT EVERYTHING WAS GOOD WITH NO ISSUES, HOWEVER A FEW YEARS LATER I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR BECAME INOPERABLE WITH MY 3 CHILDREN IN THE CAR WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC HE EXPRESSED TO ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND THAT THERE WAS EVEN A LAWSUIT, BUT THE COMPANY IS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING. WHEN I RESEARCHED THIS INFORMATION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THESE PARTICULAR VEHICLES HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANT ON THEM UP TO 100,000 MILE FOR A FAULTY RADIATOR THAT LEAKS INTO THE TRANSMISSION ULTIMATELY DESTROYING THE TRANSMISSION WHICH WAS THE CASE WITH US. WE WERE OUT OF A CAR FOR 2 MONTHS IN A RENTAL, MAXED OUT THE CREDIT CARD UP TO 1,600 WITH A 4,000 DOLLAR BILL TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION. THIS WAS A TREMENDOUS FINANCIAL HARDSHIP ON THE FAMILY. WHEN I WENT TO CARMAX AND ASKED THEM WHY THEY DID NOT DISCLOSE TO US THAT THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, THEY HAD NO REAL ANSWER FOR ME AND STATED THAT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS OVER 100,000 MILES THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. I FEEL THAT CARMAX WITHHELD INFORMATION ON THIS CAR AND ACCORDING TO THE STATE LAW IT IS REQUIRED THAT THEY INFORM CONSUMERS OF MANUFACTURE WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLES. SINCE THAT TIME THE CAR HAS HAD ADDITIONAL BREAKDOWN AND WE CAN NO LONGER PAY FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY.E TRAPPED IN A VEHICLE THAT WAS A LEMON FORM THE BEGINNING.

TRANSMISSION OF MY NISSAN PATHFINDER 2007 FAILED. THE RADIATOR SPILLED THE COOLING LIQUID INTO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH THEN PROCEEDED TO CAUSE IRREPAIRABLE DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION REPLACED WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION

RADIATOR OF MY NISSAN PATHFINDER 2007 SE FAILED. THE RADIATOR RUSTED/ROTTED AWAY AND SPILLED RADIATOR FLUID INTO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH THEN CAUSED SERIOUS PROBLEMS TO THE TRANSMISSION AND NEEDING BOTH REPLACED WITH NEW HOSES, CLAMPS ETC.

LOST MOTIVE POWER LOTS OF SHUDDERING AND HARD SHIFTING.

TRANSMISSION FLUID IS LEAKING INTO COOLANT.

I STARTED HAVING THE PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER ON APRIL 6, 2017 WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. IT WAS SHUDDERING AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE WHEN I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR OR PUT IT IN REVERSE. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS BEFORE. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC 45 MIN. AWAY. LATER THAT DAY I LEARNED THAT THE RADIATOR HAD BROKEN AND THE WATER AND GONE INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND DESTROYED THE TRANSMISSION. SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD THAT SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR NISSAN SO I LOOKED ONLINE AND LO AND BEHOLD...THIS WAS A BIG ISSUE WITH NISSAN. THE NISSAN DEALER REFERRED ME TO CONSUMER AFFAIRS FOR NISSAN. THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED FROM MY REPAIR PERSON DOWN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO BE EVALUATED. CONSUMER AFFAIRS FOR NISSAN AGREED TO HAVE ME PAY $3,000 COPAY AND THEY WOULD PAY THE REST EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS 2 WEEKS PAST THE WARRANTY DATE AND IT WAS 13,000 MILES OVER. I, AS A CONSUMER, WAS NEVER NOTIFIED THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY CAR. IF I HAD, I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE REPLACED THE RADIATOR AT $800 INSTEAD OF THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FOR $5700. I AM STILL OUT $3,000 WHICH IS A HUGE AMOUNT AND TWO TOWS FOR MY VEHICLE.

THE TRANSMISSION COOLER LEAKED COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF 40-45 MPH

AT 80000 MILES TIMING CHAIN HAD TO BE REPLACED $2100.00 REPAIR THAT NISSAN WAS AWARE OF BEING A COMMON DEFECT . MY EXTENDED WARRANTEE COMPANY DID NOT COVER BECAUSE THEY SAID IT WAS A PRE - EXISTING PROBLEM. AT 82000 MILES RADIATOR TRANSMISSION COOLER LEAKED ANTIFREEZE INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSING FAILURE TO BOTH. ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT NISSAN WAS AWARE OF AND WOULD NOT PAY FOR A REPAIR FOR OVER $6000 BECAUSE THEY HAD NO RECALL

RADIATOR FAILURE WITH THE TRANSMISSION COOLER, CAUSING THE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION. UNIT WAS IN MOTION WHEN FAILURE OCCURRED. WHEN VEHICLE WAS SHUT DOWN IT WOULD NOT LONGER START.

LIKE SO MANY OTHERS THAT I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT ... THESE RADAITOR TANKS ARE HORRIBLE THEY CRACK AND SOMEHOW ARE LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING FURTHER ISSUES... NOW I AM UPWARDS OF 1000 DOLLARS IN REPAIR COST.... IT CAUSES THE 10AMP AT ECU FUSE TO BLOW EVERYTIME THE CAR IS STARTED

NOW ON OUR 2ND RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION ISSUE WITH OUR NISSAN PATHFINDER, THE ORIGINAL REPAIR WAS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT NOW EXPERIENCING SAME ISSUES AGAIN. WITH BOTH INSTANCES THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN WHEN ISSUES OCCURRED. FORTUNATELY, THE LOCATION TO THE REPAIR SHOP IS CLOSE. OUR PATHFINDER IS CURRENTLY IN A REPAIR SHOP UNDER GOING DIAGNOSTICS.

I PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. THE VEHICLE HAS 139,000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEGUN SLIPPING, AND I TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION REPAIR PLACE, AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE AT LEAST $3500 MINIMUM. THEY SAID COOLANT FROM THE RADIATOR HAS LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION DESTROYING THE TRANSMISSION.

CAR STARTED TO SHUDDER WHEN DRIVING, HEATER WOULD GET COLD WHEN CAR WAS SITTING, VIBRATIONS WHEN DRIVING. GARAGE SAID RADIATOR CRACKED AND LEAKED FLUID INTO TRANSMISSION FLUID AND DESTROYED ENGINE. *TR

MY PATHFINDER STOPPED DEFROSTING/HEATING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IDLE. THIS IS A SYMPTOM OF THE WELL KNOWN CRACKED RADIATOR PROBLEM THAT LEADS TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN MANY 2005-2010 PATHFINDERS AT AROUND 95,000 MILEAGE. THE SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT I LIKE MANY OTHERS HAVE TO GET TO WORK ON TIME AND END UP DRIVING THESE VEHICLES WITHOUT THE WINDOWS BEING PROPERLY DEFROSTED. THIS CAUSES CLEAR VISION ISSUES AND INCREASES THE PROBABILITY OF GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT, A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. FOR THIS REASON, I WOULD SERIOUSLY CONSIDER INSTITUTING A RECALL TO REPLACE THE RADIATORS.

I STOPPED AT THE GAS STATION TO GET FUEL. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND PUT GAS IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE VEHICLE, IT WILL NOT START.. I TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN ELIZABETH CITY NORTH CAROLINA. AFTER MY VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE INTERNAL COOLER IN THE RADIATOR BURST AND LEAKED TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE RADIATOR AND ANTIFREEZE HAD LEAKED INTO MY TRANSMISSION. THE TECH EXPLAINED THAT THE ANTIFREEZE HAVE CAUSE THE INTERNAL COMPUTER IN THE TRANSMISSION TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. HE STATED THAT THE FUSE KEPT BLOWING OUT. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $3000.00 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I HAD NO WARNING SIGNS AT ALL. I WAS TOLD BY THE TECH TO CALL NISSAN CORPORATION FOR FURTHER DETAIL. ONCE I CALLED THE CORPORATION, AN INVESTIGATION CLAIM WAS INITIATED. SHE TOLD ME THAT SOME WILL CONTACT ME BY MONDAY (10/24/16). SO NOW ITS LIKE A WAIT AND SEE GAME. I WAS TOLD THAT THE RADIATOR HAD A WARRANTY ON IT UP TO 100,000 MILES OF UNTIL 02/2017. I DID EXPLAINED TO THE TECH THAT THE FAILED PART IN THE RADIATOR CAUSED MY TRANSMISSION TO GET DAMAGE.

MY PATHFINDER TAKING ANTIFREEZE INSIDE OF TRANSMISSION FLUID TURNING IT TO LOOK LIKE PEPTO BISMOL ALSO MY ENGINE IS TAKING IN ANTI FREEZE ALSO. THERE ARE RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLES NOTE MY TRUCK STILL RUN BUT IT OVER HEATS TRANNY WORKS TOO I'VE PARKED IT FOR COUPLE YEARS NOW I HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT TO THE POINT WHERE IT DON'T WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE PARKED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH CAUSED TRANSMISSION FLUID AND COOLANT TO MIX. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,687.

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.

RADIATOR RECALL FOR TRANS LINES LEAKING INTO RADIATOR CONTAMINATING COOLANT. AND NOW THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER IS CAUSING A LOUD KNOCK IN THE ENGINE FROM THE TIMING CHAIN.

ENJOYING OUR PATHFINDER ONE AFTERNOON AND WENT TO PASS A CAR AND IT WOULD NOT KICK INOT PASSING GEAR. WHEN WE STOPPED I COULD SMELL THAT IT WAS HOT, BUT COULD NOT FIND A LEAK. AFTER LETTING IT COOL, I CHECKED THE COOLANT LEVEL AND FOUND THAT GREY FROTH IN THE RADIATOR. A QUICK CHECK ON THE INTERNET LEAD ME TO ME WORST FEAR. I AM STILL IN THE PROCESS OF FLUSHING RADIATOR AND GETTING QUOTES. LOCAL AAMCO GUY SAID THAT TRANSMISSION IS DOOMED, AND THEY SEE A LOT OF THESE. $4,000 - 4500 TO REBUILD. SO MUCH MONEY FOR SUCH AN EASY REPAIR HAD I KNOWN BEFORE THE RADIATOR GAVE UP. NO MORE NISSANS FOR THIS FAMILY!

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.

VEHICLE LOST POWER, WILL NOT TRANSMIT POWER TO THE WHEELS, APPEARS TO BE A HIGHLY COMPLAINT AMONG ALL OWNERS. TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED IN A HEAVY TRAFFIC AREA. FUEL LEVEL SENDER IS NO LONGER WORKING.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND I PULL TWO P0717 CODES INDICATING AN ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSION CONTROL VALVE WITH TCM. TOOK TO SHOP AND THEY FOUND COOLANT MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID REQUIRING A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT.

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.

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.

3RD EVENT. DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, ENGINE LOSES POWER, WILL NOT ACCELERATE OVER 30 MPH. ON PREVIOUS EVENTS REVERSE REMAINED USEFUL AND VEHICLE RECOVERED. TAKEN TO SHOP, TOLD NOTHING COULD BE FOUND WRONG AND EVENT DID NOT RECUR ON THEIR TEST DRIVE. CONTINUED TO DRIVE VEHICLE MANY MONTHS, NO ISSUE. THIS EVENT, CAR WOULD NOT REVERSE AND WAS DRIVEN TO THE HOME OF MY FAMILY WHERE I WAS ENDING MY VACATION. NOW STRANDED 4 HOURS FROM HOME. CALLED OUT FROM WORK TOMORROW TO RESEARCH AND DECIDE WHAT ACTIONS TO TAKE.

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.

I WAS DRIVING WHEN MY NISSAN PATHFINDER 2007 OUT RIGHT WHEN I GOT IN THE MIDDLE OF IN INTERSECTION MY CAR JUST DIDN'T WANT TO GO I WAS PRESSING ON THE GAS AND IT WOULD GO IT THEN IT WOULD START GOING AGAIN BUT WOULDN'T GO FASTER THEN 20MPH THEN AGAIN IT WOULD STOP N WOULDNT MOVE I TOOK IT TO A SHOP TO GET IT CHECKED OUT THEY TOLD ME MY RADIATOR FAILED AND CAUSE LIQUID TO GO INTO MY TRAMISSION WHICH CAUSE THAT TO FAIL ...SO I CALLED NISSAN ABOUT THE RECALL I READ ABOUT FAIL RADIATOR AND TRAMISSION THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T HELP ME

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!

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.

THIS COMPLAINT IS ABOUT THE PAST RECALL ON THE 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER, THE TRANSMISSION FLUID MIXING WITH THE RADIATOR. DUE TO A HOLE, CRACK IN THE ENGINE. HAD THIS TO HAPPEN TO ME. COST VERY HIGH. THIS HAPPEN WITH CAR IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS.

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.

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.....

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.

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.

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.

RADIATOR CRACKED AND LEAKED FLUID IN TO THE TRANSMISSION.

MY CAR START TO SLIP UP SO I DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAVE COOLANT MIX IN IT ALSO OPEN RADIATOR CAP AND FOUND MILKY LOOKING COOLANT. MY CAR HAVE ONLY 114000 MILES.3/2016

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.

"TAKATA RECALL" OUT OF THE CLEAR BLUE I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 PATHFINDER AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY THAT DAY AND IT PASSED PER SERVICE MANAGER LOUIS CASTILLO AT BAKER JACKSON NISSAN IN HOUSTON TEXAS, 2 DAYS LATER THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND ONCE AGAIN I WENT TO THE DEALER SHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SENSORS AND OTHER PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED THE COST IS $1500. I CALLED NISSAN CORP AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO TAKING RESPONSIBILITY EVEN THOUGH THEY STATED ALL 2007 PATHFINDERS IN OTHER STATES WOULD BE GIVEN A 10 YEAR WARRANTY. MY TRUCK WAS ALSO AFFECTED WITH THE RADIATOR FLULID MIXING WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, DURING THE YEARS OF 2010-2012 I CONSTANTLY TOOK MY TRUCK TO BAKER JACKSON NISSAN AND THE SERVICE MANAGER THEN LARRY JUST TOPPED OFF MY TRUCK HIMSELF AND NEVER MADE A RECORD OF IT. HE KEPT ASSURING ME THAT HE WAS SAVING ME MONEY. MY TRANSMISSION FAILED BUT BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE IN 2012 NISSAN WAS ABLE TO DENY FIXING MY TRANSMISSION VIA THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. I ENDED UP SPENDING $4800 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. IN 2010 NISSAN CONVINCED ME TO REPLACE MY TRAIN FOR $1600, I NEVER KNEW IT WAS A RECALL UNTIL TODAY. ANOTHER CAVEAT TO THIS MESS IS THAT BAKER JACKSON CHANGED THEIR COMPUTER SYSTEM AND HAS NO RECORD OF ME REPLACING MY TRAIN. I HAVE A BANK STATEMENT TO PROVE IT IF NECESSARY.

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.

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.

1) ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO THE CRUSE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. HAVE NOT REPAIRED THIS PROBLEM. 2) IN JULY 2015 THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STARTED FLASHING. HAVE NOT REPAIRED THIS PROBLEM. 3) ON DEC 21, 2005 AFTER PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ADVANCE TO THE NEXT HIGHER GEAR. STOPPED AND PUT IT INTO REVERSE BUT THE SUV WOULD NOT GO BACKWARDS. SLOWLY DROVE IT AROUND THE BLOCK BACK HOME. TRANSMISSION SHOP REPORTED THAT COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE PCM COMPARTMENT CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE, COST WAS 3645 US DOLLARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED FOR AN OIL CHANGE, WHEN IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,789. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FRIED DUE TO CONTAMINATION FROM THE RADIATOR FLUID. NISSAN WAS AWARE OF CONTAMINATION IN TRANSMISSION THROUGH THE RADIATOR AND THIS CONTAMINATION CAUSES THE CONTROL MODULE IN THE TRANSMISSION TO SHORT. EVERY TIME I WANT TO START MY VEHICLE I HAVE TO REPLACE A 10AMP FUSE UNDER THE HOOD THAT WILL ALWAYS BLOW EVERY TIME I START IT. REPAIR COST FOR A NEW CONTROL MODULE ARE EXCEEDING $4000 EVERY PLACE I GO. NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS OF THEIR FAULTY DESIGN. DUE TO THIS DEFECT MY FAMILY WAS STRANDED, I HAD TO LEAVE MY WORK AND PICK THEM UP IN BELOW 30 DEGREE TEMPERATURES.

AT FIRST, THE CAR WOULDN'T START OCCASIONALLY. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND FUSES. THIS HELPED TEMPORARILY. NOW, THE CAR WON'T START UNLESS I PLACE A NEW ECU FUSE EACH TIME I ATTEMPT TO START IT. CHANGING THE FUSE WILL START THE CAR, BUT IT LACKS POWER AND IS QUICK TO STALL OUT. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC, HE DISCOVERED COOLANT IN MY TRANSMISSION. AFTER READING INFORMATION FROM SEVERAL WEBSITES, I REALIZED THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL OF CAR.

COOLANT LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSING DAMAGE TO TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE IS IN SHOP WITH ESTIMATE OF $5000 FOR REPAIRS. MECHANIC STATED IT IS DIFFICULT TO FIND REBUILDS AND THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE TRANSMISSIONS HE HAS PRICED. HE DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND MAKES IS MORE DIFFICULT TO GET REBUILT TRANSMISSIONS. I INITIALLY HAD THE COOLANT LEAK FIXED AND REPLACED THE RADIATOR. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT ROUGH AND IN THREE MONTHS TIME FROM COOLANT LEAK REPAIRS, STARTED TO NOT SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. CAR IN NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND WAS TAKEN TO MECHANIC.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY JERKED FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND ANTI FREEZE MIXED TOGETHER AND THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

COOLANT AFT CROSS CONTAMINATION IN THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR.

MY PATHFINDER BROKE DOWN DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILING WHILE DRIVING. I WAS JUST PULLING INTO MY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AND HAD TO KILL AND RESTART THE TRUCK TO GET IT TO MAKE IT INTO THE DRIVEWAY. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY NISSAN, WHERE THERE'S A CRACK THAT ALLOWS THE RADIATOR COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID TO MIX, CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. THIS IS EXTREMELY WRONG THAT A CONSUMER MUST PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A KNOWN AND ACKNOWLEDGED FLAW IN THE MANUFACTURER'S DESIGN.

MY WIFE WAS TAKING THE KIDS TO SCHOOL AND WHILE DRIVING IN THE DROP OFF LINE HEARD A LOUD "THUNK". WE HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND PAY THE $99.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO FIND OUT THAT THE RADIATOR LEAKED COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH CAUSED TRANSMISSION FAILURE. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT NISSAN IS NOT ADDRESSING.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2007 AS OUR 2ND NEW NISSAN .OUR FIRST WAS A 2005 FRONTIER WITH NO PROBLEMS AND NOW THIS. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IT SLIPS WHEN ACCELLERATING AND SOMTIMES WONT DOWN SHIFT PROPERLY. SO DUE TO THE PROBLEM I DID A WEB SEARCH AND FOUND THIS CRACKED TRANSMISSION LINE ALLOWING COOLANT LEAK IN TO THE TRANSMISSION, SO I CHECKED THE RESEVOUR AND RADIATOR AND BOTH HAD ATF CONTAMINATION. I THEN CALLED THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I COULD BE TALKING ABOUT. THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED IN LATE 2012 STATED THAT ALL DEALERS WERE NOTIFIED. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED AND NOW HAVE OVER 100,000 MILES ON MY PATHFINDER WHICH OPTS ME OUT OF ANYTHING. THIS IS REDICULOUS AND NISSAN NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE! THEY NEVER EVEN ADMITED THERE WAS A PROBLEM JUST OFFERED SOME EXTENDED WARRENTY COVERAGE ABSOLUTELY ABSURD! NOW IM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE I CANT EVEN DRIVE.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 PATHFINDER WITH MY 3 CHILDREN IN THE BACK WHEN THE TIRES SUDDENLY SEEMED TO BE SLIPPING. I WASN'T SURE WHAT WAS GOING ON UNTIL I WAS ON A BIG HILL AND CAR SUDDENLY WOULDN'T GO INTO GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION HAD BLOWN ON ME, ALMOST INSTANTANEOULSY WITH LITTLE TO NO WARNING SIGNS. THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS ON THE HILL AND LUCKILY NOBODY WAS BEHIND US. I HIT THE BREAKS AND STOPPED THE CAR. IT HAD TO BE TOWED AND I WAS STUNNED WHEN MY MECHANIC SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEAD AND IT WOULD COST AROUND 3K TO FIX! "THERE WAS ONLY 85K MILES ON THE CAR AND THE TRANSMISSION JUST BLOWS LIKE THAT," I ASKED HIM? HE TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM VERY COMMON WITH SOME NISSAN CARS. I IMMEDIATELY WENT ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN PATHFINDERS AND XTERRAS, DUE TO FAULT MANUFACTURING AND A LAWSUIT WAS BROUGHT UP AGAINST THEM (A FEW YEARS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED TO ME). I FEEL IT'S OUTRAGEOUS THAT THESE CARS CAN STILL BE SOLD BY THE DEALER (WE BOUGHT IT USED WITH 60K MILES ON IT) WITHOUT SOME SORT OF WARNING LABEL ON IT. THANK GOD MY KIDS DIDN'T GET HURT SOMEHOW, BECAUSE IT WAS QUITE A HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILS SUDDENLY AT THE TOP OF A BIG, LONG HILL! IF MY KIDS HAD GOTTEN HURT, I PROBABLY COULD HAVE SUED THEM FOR A BILLION DOLLARS, BUT SINCE I ACTED QUICKLY, NOBODY WAS HURT, AND THUS, NOBODY AT NISSAN SEEMED TO CARE WHEN I COMPLAINED. THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR FAULT MANUFACTURING! NO CAR'S TRANSMISSIONS SUDDENLY BREAK DOWN FOR NO APPARENT REASON WITH LESS THAN 90K MILES ON IT!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE RPMS INCREASED RAPIDLY AND THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND FAILED TO SHIFT INTO THE REVERSE POSITION PROPERLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 144,000.

RADIATOR LEAKED ANTI-FREEZE INTO THE TRANSMISSION WHICH DESTROYED THE TRANSMISSION AND THE ENTIRE COOLANT SYSTEM. NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS BUT NEVER ISSUED A RECALL.

AS I WAS ABOUT TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE LOST POWER, I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO GET OFF THE ON RAMP AND BACK TO THE FRONTAGE ROAD BEFORE MY CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. TOOK TO A REPAIR STATION WHERE IT WAS FOUND THE RADIATOR FAILED AND ALLOWED FLUID TO MIX WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. TRANSMISSION IS A COMPLETE LOSS, ALTHOUGH THE COST OF REPAIR ($5200) IS TROUBLING, THE FACT THAT MOMENTS LATER MY FAMILY AND I COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR CAUSED SOMEONE ELSE TO BE INJURED IS THE BIGGER ISSUE. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS DEFECT AND FEEL THE NHTSA SHOULD TAKE A BETTER LOOK INTO MAKING THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. AT SOME POINT SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE FROM THIS. NISSAN HAS MADE A VERY UN-REASONABLE ATTEMPT TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

FOUND OUT THAT MY RADIATOR HAD A FAILURE AND A TRANSMISSION HOSE CRACKED INSIDE THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID ALL MIXED UP TO INVADED BOTH THE MOTOR COOLING SYSTEM AND THE TRANSMISSION.. DONT WANT TO GO IN GEAR WHEN TURNING AND IT MAKE THIS RUMBLING NOSE WHEN YOU DRIVING IT

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN THE TRUCK STARTED TO OVER HEAT AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP OUT OF OVER DRIVE. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED AT AN AUTO PARTS STORE. I PULLED THE TRANSMISSION DIP STICK. IT WAS MILKY. I ALSO FOUND THE COOLANT OVERFLOW WAS BUBBLING OUT A MIX OF MILKY FLUIDS. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL GARAGE AND THEY EXPLAINED THE ISSUE. THE RADIATOR HAD FAILED AND BLEW APART INSIDE, WHICH CREATED AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION LINE INSIDE THE RADIATOR. THE COOLANT MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE GARAGE REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THIS COST ME $650. THE TRANSMISSION WASN'T RIGHT FROM THIS POINT ON. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I HAVE REPLACED THE RADIATOR THIS TIME MYSELF AND TOOK IT TO THE GARAGE TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED. AT THIS POINT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS INTO EVERY GEAR AND WILL CONTINUOUSLY SLIP IF ITS IN OVERDRIVE. THE CAR IS UN DRIVABLE AND HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW. TRANSMISSIONS FOR THIS CAR ARE OVER $2500 AND I JUST CANT AFFORD TO PUT ONE INTO IT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION EXHIBITED SEVERE VIBRATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION TWICE. THE FAILURE CONTINUED AFTER THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE MECHANIC RECOMMENDED THAT THE TRANSMISSION BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

TRANSMISSION FAILED DUE TO COOLANT LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION. HAD MY WHOLE FAMILY WHEN TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT DON'T WANT TO IMAGE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS GOING FASTER THAN 35 MPH. COST TO REPAIR $5800. DANGEROUSLY UNACCEPTABLE.

AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY IT STARTED TO SHUDDER AND SHAKE AND THEN FINALLY COMPLETELY TURNED OFF ON THE HIGHWAY. ONCE I GOT IT STARTED AGAIN IT WOULD ONLY GO ABOUT 20MPH I WAS ABLE TO MOVE OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND EXIT THE HIGHWAY. ONCE WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD US THAT THE RADIATOR HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND ALSO THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE TWO CATALYCTIC CONVERTERS. THE TOTAL REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS WOULD COST ME $8000 AS I WOULD ALSO NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. WE REPLACED THE RADIATOR BUT OF COURSE THAT IS ONLY HALF THE PROBLEM. I STILL OWE ABOUT $13K ON THE VEHICLE, HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR 8 MONTHS AND AM NOW STUCK BECAUSE I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND I CANT GET RID OF THE TRUCK KNOWING THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS AND THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND THE RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

I WAS JUST INFORMED BY A FELLOW NISSAN OWNER ABOUT HER TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. WHY WAS I NOT NOTIFIED BY NISSAN THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE? NO CARD, LETTER... NOTHING! I WOULD HAVE HAD MY CAR INSPECTED FOR DEFECT IF I KNEW!!

TOWED MY CAR TO THE LOCAL SHOP AND FOUND OUT THAT THE RADIATOR HAS AN INTERNAL CRACK AND LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. BURNED OUT THE TCM AND NOW I AM GOING TO HAVE TO PAY MORE THAN $5000 TO GET IT FIXED. CALLED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS AT ALL.

2007 NISSIAN PATHFINDER -RADIATOR LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION, CAUSING FAILURE TO TRANSMISSION. REPLACED RADIATOR, ALL FLUIDS AND FLUSHED OUT SECONDARY RADIATOR AND RESERVOUR AND NEW THERMOSTAT, FLUSHED OUT TRANSMISSION FLUIDS. NOW NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION, WHICH IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE PART OF THE JOB!

ONSET OF ISSUE WAS INSPECTION TO DETERMINE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT. CODE P0850 - INDICATED PARK/NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH INPUT CIRCUIT. SWITCH REPLACED AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT BACK ON WITHIN 48 HOURS. RETURNED ADDITIONAL CODES RELATED TO TRANSMISSION. CONCURRENTLY THE VEHICLE WAS STUMBLING AT CERTAIN SPEED/RPM WITH RUMBLING NOISE IN DRIVETRAIN AND HESITATION DURING ACCELLERATION. TRANSMISSION FOUND TO HAVE BEEN CONTAMINATED BY RADIATOR FLUID. COMPLETE REBUILD OF TRANSMISSION PERFORMED AND BYPASSED RADIATOR TRANSMISSION COOLER WITH AUXILIARY COOLER TO PREVENT HAVING TO REPLACE RADIATOR. TRANSMISSION REBUILD AND RENTAL CAR FOR A WEEK >$5000. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TI BE REIMBURSED FOR THE COST OF REPAIRS. *JS

POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO BE INSPECTED AND COULD GET A CLEAR ANSWER WHICH ONE OF THE OBSERVATIONS WAS PERFORM AT A NISSAN DEALER. THE FLUIDS SEEMS TO BE MIXED, TRANSMISSION WITH RADIATOR FLUID. SEEMS AS THIS HAS BEEN AND ON GOING PROBLEM WITH NISSAN. DEALER TELLS ME THE CANT FIND THE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, AN ABNORMAL ROARING SOUND EMITTED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION PULLED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING AT A CONSISTENT SPEED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE ANTIFREEZE WAS MIXING WITH THE TRANSMISSION. AS A RESULT, THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE A YEAR AGO AT 79,000 MILES. IN JANUARY OF 2015, I HIT THE 100,000 MILE MARK AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. LOUD AND JERKY SHIFTING AND SMELLING FOUL IN THE AIR CONDITIONER. NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE AND SINCE I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, (100,000 MILES) THAT THEY WEREN'T LIABLE. HE SAID I COULD DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT SHOULDN'T BREAK DOWN FOR ANOTHER FEW THOUSAND MILES. SO I JUST PARKED IT. I WOULD ONLY DRIVE IT IF I ABSOLUTELY HAD NO OTHER CHOICE. FRIDAY, MAY 15 2015 I WAS COMING HOME FROM A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY BROKE DOWN. THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AND I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR WITH ME. AT 40 MPH, THE RPM WAS AT ALMOST 5,000. I PULLED OVER TO CALL MY HUSBAND AND WHEN WE PUT IT IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE, IT WOULDN'T GO INTO REVERSE. I HAD TO TOW IT HOME AND IT'S COMPLETELY BROKEN DOWN. I DON'T HAVE 4,000 TO SPEND ON A TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR.

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER THAT STARTED MAKING LOUD RUMBLING NOISES WHILE DRIVING. WE REPLACED THE RADIATOR AFTER THE CAR OVER HEATED AND A MILKY SUBSTANCE LEAKED. WE'VE HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED TWICE. WE WERE TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT THE RADIATOR LIQUID MIXED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTING TO FIND THAT THERE ARE SO MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND THAT NISSAN IS DOING NOTHING TO HELP.

MY 2007 NISSON PATHFINDER BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS AND WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE MECHANIC, HE STATED THE COOLANT FLUID WENT INTO THE TRANMISSION AND CAUSED MAJOR PROBLEMS AND NOW THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION NEED REPLACEMENT TO THE TUNE OF $4900.00 (APPROXIMATE PRICE GIVEN BY LEE MYLES). I ACTUALLY BROUGHT THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALER AND THEIR QUOTE WAS $5800.00 AND THEN THEY STATATED OTHER ISSES NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED AND THEY STATED THE TOTAL COST WOULD BE $10,000.00! BOOK VALUE OF THE CAR THROUGH KELLY BLUE BOOK IS $9,600.00 IN EXCELLENT CONDITION! I SAW THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH PATHFINDERS AND I WANTED TO TELL MY STORY. I HOPE THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE AGAINST NISSAN! *TR

DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN IS RESPONSIBLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING AT 10 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE THAT CAME FROM THE TRANSMISSION AS IF THE VEHICLE WERE IN NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,500.

RADIATOR LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION, CAUSING BOTH TO GO OUT. REPEATEDLY TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM BUT THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE RADIATOR-TRANSMISSION ISSUE. ONCE MY CAR FINALLY DIED I WAS FORCED TO REPAIR ON MY OWN WITH NO HELP FROM NISSAN. I WAS TOO FAR OVER MILES TO BE INCLUDED IN THEIR "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM" WHICH ONLY COVERED COST OVER $3,000 AND UNDER 100,000 MILES. I SPENT $4,360.00 OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION AND BYPASS RADIATOR. *TR

NISSAN NEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS AND DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. THEIR DEFECTIVE RADIATOR IS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSING MY TRANSMISSION TO FAIL, AND THEY HAVE THE BALLS TO ASK ME TO PAY FOR IT. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT NISSAN VEHICLES FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS AND WAS ABOUT TO TRADE IN FOR A NEW MAXIMA. OH WELL MAYBE IT IS TIME TO CHANGE TO A DIFFERENT BRAND. *TR

WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 31 DAYS AGO UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THERE WERE NO MAJOR PROBLEMS AS IT CAME FROM A SMALL DEALER LOT. TWO WEEKS AFTER DRIVING IT, WE NOTICED IT HAS SHIFTING PROBLEMS BETWEEN 3RD AND 4TH AND AT 40MPH IT VIBRATES. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN AND HAD A DIAGNOSTICS RUN ON IT WHICH REVEALED THE RADIATOR COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION, THEREFORE CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO GO BAD. WE CONTACTED OUR WARRANTY COMPANY, AS WE HAVE A 90 DAY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND IT IS NOT COVERED AT ALL. WE CONTACTED THE DEALER LOT WE PURCHASED IT FROM AND SO FAR, NOTHING IS BEING DONE. I HAVE DONE QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND NOTICED SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. CURIOUS TO KNOW WHY A RECALL HASN'T BEEN ISSUED YET? *TR

I JUST BOUGHT THIS SUV FROM A USED CAR LOT BACK ON FEB 16TH 2015 I STARTED TO NOTICE A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING FUNNY SO I HAD A 3 MONTH WARRANTY FROM THE USED CAR LOT I PURCHASED IT FROM. I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO HAVE A DYNO TEST,TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHAT WAS GOING ON. I GET A CALL FROM THEM 2 HRS LATER SAYING THE RADIATOR BLEED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND WAS NOT LUBING THE GEARS PROPERLY SWITCHED CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO SLEEP AND AS A RESULT OF THIS I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION FOR 6050.00 FOR BOTH +LABOR EXT. I CALL THE LOT I PURCHASED THIS FROM AND HE STAYS THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO FOR ME THE 3 MONTH POWER TRAIN WARRANTY I HAVE WAS VOID BECAUSE THE RADIATOR CAUSED THE PROBLEM I'VE DONE MY RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM OVER 600+ COMPLAINTS AND PROBLEMS FROM THIS VERY SAME THING I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN IN MY LIFE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK VIOLENTLY AND THE VEHICLE REDUCED SPEED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER MORE THAN FIVE TIMES AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE OR DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO PROVIDED A TRANSMISSION TUNE UP AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN BACK TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A RADIATOR LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION COOLANT AND THE DEALER DID NOT INDICATE WHERE THE FRACTURE WAS COMING FROM WHICH WAS CAUSING THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE SEVERAL TIMES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

MY 2007 PATHFINDER HAS BEEN SHIFTING ROUGH AND SOUNDS LIKE I AM DRIVING ACROSS "RUMBLE STRIPS" USED ON THE ROAD TO KEEP DRIVERS AWAKE. I WENT TO THE DEALER TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUE. AFTER THEY CHECKED THE CAR OUT THEY TOLD ME I HAD POWER STEERING FLUID IN MY RADIATOR AND COOLANT IN MY POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY. WHEN I ASKED HOW THAT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN, THE TECH TRIED TO ASSURE ME THAT THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN RADIATOR LINES FAIL. I TOLD THEM I HAD NEVER HEARD OF THAT AND WANTED TO KNOW HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN. THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $5,250.00 TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR. THE SERVICE TECH AND SERVICE MANAGER ACTED LIKE THEY KNEW NOTHING AND SUGGESTED I CALL NISSAN NORTH AMERICA...I DID. THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE I HAD REPORTED MY ISSUE TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU MY CASE WAS SENT TO THE ARBITRATION DEPARTMENT. THE ARBITRATION GUY CALLED AND TOLD ME MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT NISSAN HAS KNOWN OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2005. NISSAN LOST A CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT THE REMEDY WAS TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY FOR 100,000 MILES. I'M CONFUSED BECAUSE I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW A MANUFACTURER CAN WARRANTY AWAY A DEFECT. FROM MY RESEARCH THE AVERAGE MILEAGE FOR THIS PROBLEM IS 112,000 MILES. MY CAR IS SLOWLY BECOMING NON DRIVABLE. I ACCELERATED OUT OF A PARKING LOT BUT THE CAR MOVED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND STARTED RUMBLING BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ANY FURTHER. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. WHY IS THE CONSUMER RESPONSIBLE FOR A KNOWN DEFECT? ISN'T A WARRANTY FOR PARTS THAT ARE MANUFACTURED CORRECTLY? *TR

BOUGHT A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER FROM SUN TOYOTA NPR. PAID 15000.WITHIN THE 1ST YEAR 4 TIRES,4 BRAKES,BATTERY,RADIATOR,AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION LOCKS UP...STILL OWE 13000 WHAT DO I DO....PAY FOR A BOAT ANCHOR OR RUIN MY CREDIT AND LET THEM REPO IT..... *TR

VEHICLE STARTS SHUDDERING AND JERKING AT 45 MILES PER HOUR.... HEATER ONLY BLOWS HOT AIR WHEN CAR IS MOVING, BLOWS COLD AIR WHEN IDLING. *TR

RADIATOR FLUID LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSING US TO FULLY REPLACE BOTH RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. COVERED BY A $2,500 DEDUCTIBLE PLUS TAX. *TR

AT ACCELERATION OR WHILE DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS, I AM AWARE OF A POORLY SETTLED CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT,HOWEVER IT DOES NOTHING TO PROTECT VEHICLES ABOVE 100,000 MILES. THE RADIATOR IS DOCUMENTED FOR CRACKING AND LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS MY FIRST VEHICLE PURCHASE AND I CAN ASSURE YOU I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A NISSAN PRODUCT AGAIN,I REALIZE ALL VEHICLES BREAK DOWN HOWEVER NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THE COMMON PROBLEM AND CONTINUED TO DISREGARD THE VALUE OF THEIR BRAND BY NEGLECTING TO RECALL AND REPAIR THIS COMMON FAILURE. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILURE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS ON INTERSTATE. *TR

HAVE EXPERIENCES SHUDDER WHILE DRIVING OVER LAST FEW MONTHS. ON DATE OF INCIDENT, I PULLED OVER AFTER ONE SUCH SHUDDER, THEN CONTINUED AND HAD NO TORQUE BUT WAS ABLE TO PROCEED, AS IF LOWER GEARS WERE NO LONGER WORKING. THIS ISSUE CONTINUED WHILE ACCELERATING AFTER EVERY STOP LIGHT AND SIGN. GOT HOME (WITH SICK CHILD) AND SHUT DOWN VEHICLE. TRIED TO START 30 MINUTES LATER AND WOULD NOT RESTART. TOWED TO MECHANIC. *TR

TRANSMISSION ON THE PATHFINDER WAS VERY ROUGH SHIFTING FROM 3RD TO 4TH GEAR. WE RETURNED IT TO A DEALER, WHO SAID IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. IT SEEMS THAT THIS HAS BEEN A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, AND IT SEEMED THE COMPANY SHOULD HAVE DONE MORE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM THAN JUST HOPING THE NEWEST EXTENDED WARRANTIES RAN OUT BEFORE THE CARS NEEDED REPAIRS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WE WERE INTERMITTENTLY LOSING POWER IN THE MOUNTAINS LEADING TO UNSAFE CONDITIONS DUE TO MISMATCHED SPEEDS COMPARED TO THE SURROUNDING TRAFFIC. *TR

WHEN THE CAR REACHES SPEED OF 45 MPH, IT BEGINS TO JERK AND VIBRATE AND A LOUD NOISE STARTS. IF I PRESS THE OVERDRIVE BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF, THE CAR SMOOTHES OUT. IF I DO NOT TURN THE OVERDRIVE OFF, ONCE I LOWER SPEED OR ACCELERATE, IT STOPS VIBRATING. DIAGNOSIS FROM MECHANIC IS COOLANT HAS LEAKED INTO MY TRANSMISSION FLUID. CAR SHOULD HAVE NEW RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION PUT IN. *TR

I AM A VERY LOYAL NISSAN/PATHFINDER OWNER. I'M ON MY SECOND PATHFINDER AND ALWAYS HAVE MY BELOVED 2007 SERVICED REGULARLY AT THE PUYALLUP NISSAN DEALERSHIP. BECAUSE I RELY ON MY VEHICLE FOR WORK, I MAKE SURE TO KEEP IT CURRENT WITH ALL RECOMMENDED SERVICES OVER THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. UNTIL RECENTLY, IVE BEEN AN EXTREMELY SATISFIED PATHFINDER OWNER. NOW, I AM QUITE UPSET THAT A KNOWN DEFECTIVE RADIATOR NOTICE I RECEIVED APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO, ADVISED TO DO NOTHING IF EXPERIENCING NO PROBLEMS, BUT NOW THAT I'M OVER THE LIMIT OF 100K MILES (115K), AND EXPERIENCING THE KNOWN RADIATOR DEFECT ISSUE, I AM NOW ON THE HOOK FOR THE ENTIRE REPAIR COST ($5000). I'VE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE WHICH CAN BE SUMMARIZED AT HTTP://WWW.NISSANPROBLEMS.COM/PROBLEMS/TRANSMISSION.SHTML WHAT DOES THE MILES MATTER? DOES NISSAN'S OBLIGATION TO THEIR PRODUCT AND CUSTOMER DISAPPEAR AFTER 100K MILES? WHY DIDN'T NISSAN RECOMMEND REPLACING THE RADIATORS, AS A PREVENTATIVE MEASURE? FURTHER RESEARCH OF TESTIMONIALS FROM OTHER NISSAN OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE, SUGGESTS THAT THE RADIATOR PROBLEM SEEMED TO TYPICALLY OCCUR AFTER 100,000 MILES ANYWAYS. SO HOW IS IT THAT NISSAN IS OK WITH LEAVING THEIR CUSTOMER HOLDING ON TO THE (CRUD) END OF THE STICK? I SURE HOPE I AM REIMBURSED FOR THE HEFTY BILL SOME WAY SOME DAY. (I'VE NOT YET PULLED THE TRIGGER ON HAVING THE REPAIRS DONE, AS I HAVE BEEN CONTEMPLATING TRADING IN AND GIVING THE PROBLEM BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT HOW WILL THIS AFFECT THE TRADE IN VALUE, AND IF NISSAN'S PAST REPUTATION IS DIMINISHING, WHY DO I WANT TO TRADE IN FOR ANOTHER NISSAN. MY PASSION FOR PATHFINDERS HAS SUDDENLY DROPPED CONSIDERABLY...TIME FOR A NEW BRAND MAYBE.....:-((((( VERY DISGRUNTLED PATHFINDER OWNER, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND IT WAS WHITE MILKY. HAD IT CHECKED ITS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION COOLER INSIDE THE RADIATOR CRACKING AND LETTING ANTIFREEZE GET INTO TRANSMISSION AND IT DESTROYS IT AND IT'S UP TO $5000 TO FIX AND LOTS OF LOST TIME AND NISSAN ISN'T DOING A THING ABOUT IT. AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WITH SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN SHOULD FIX THIS AT NO COST TO THE OWNER !!!!!!!! *TR

TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS THAT EVERYBODY IS COMPLAINING ABOUT HAS HIT ME AS WELL. THIS IS REALLY BAD THAT NISSAN IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT. WHAT IS THERE TO INVESTIGATE? I DON'T UNDERSTAND, ARE ALL OF THESE PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR MIND? THIS MUST BE RECALLED AND RECALLED FAST. *JS

I PURCHASED MY PATHFINDER USED. WITH 78,000 MILES AND WITHIN 10 DAYS OF HAVING IT THE TRANSMISSION DROPPED COMPLETELY. WELL WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND DEMANDED THEY MAKE RIGHT..THEY PAID OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY NEVER PAID FOR OUR RENTAL CAR AND NEVER BOTHERED TO TELL US THERE WAS A DEFECT ON MY VEHICLE! WE WERE DRIVING AND NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AND THE TRUCK VIBRATING VERY LOUD AND VIGOROUSLY WHEN GOING INTO 3RD OR 4TH GEAR AT AROUND 50 MPH. BUT THEY HAD TOLD ME IT WAS MY IMAGINATION. WELL 10 DAYS FROM THE DAY I DROVE IT HOME I GUESS IT WASN'T JUST MY IMAGINATION BECAUSE WE LOST ALL ACCELERATION POWER. THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING BUT WOULDN'T NOT MOVE. HERE I AM A YEAR LATER GOOGLING WHY MY TRUCK KEEPS SCREWING UP AND BOY WHAT DO I FIND???? I'M VERY LIVID AND CAN'T BELIEVE THAT NISSAN HAS DECIDED TO FATTEN THEIR WALLETS INSTEAD OF HELPING IT'S CONSUMERS AND MAKING THINGS RIGHT. I HAD A NEW TRANSMISSION AND NEW RADIATOR PUT IN. AND A YEAR LATER I'M FIGHTING THE SAME PROBLEM ALL OVER AGAIN. IF I'M IDLE OR STAY IN ONE SPOT FOR A FEW MINUTES MY TRUCK IS OVER HEATING AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT IT'S SPEWING COOLANT OUT THE RESERVOIR. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES AND NO ONE GIVES A CRAP! I WAS TOLD IT WAS AN AIR POCKET AND I'M NOT STUPID ESPECIALLY NOW THAT I'M READING ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS. THIS MAKES ME WONDER HOW THE GOVERNMENT CAN ALLOW THIS TO CONTINUE GOING ON..I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT NO HELP IS AVAILABLE TO US AND WE ARE BEING SCREWED ROYALLY AND OUR LIVES IN DANGER BECAUSE WE ARE FORCED TO DRIVE A DANGEROUS NON RELIABLE VEHICLE!!!!!!! MAKE THINGS RIGHT NISSAN FIX OUR VEHICLES OR DO A RECALL AND GIVE US OUR MONEY FOR PUTTING US THROUGH [XXX].

MILKY SUBSTANCE APPEARED IN RADIATOR AND CAR SMOKED AND SMELLED. TOOK TO MECHANIC AND REPORTED FAILED COOLER CAUSING RADIATOR FLUID AND OIL TO MIX. RESULTED IN CRACKED HEADS AS ENGINE OVERHEATED. NOW TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED. LIKELY DUE TO ENGINE OVERHEATING. *TR

TRANSMISSION STUTTERS BETWEEN 35-50 MPH. *TR

CAR HAVING TROUBLE GETTING UP TO SPEED. NOW WILL NOT START. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT NEEDS NEW RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. *TR

WHILE DRIVEN IN NORMAL CONDITIONS ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 M/H IT START TO LOOSE SPEED,THE TRANSMISSION WON`T SHIFT BACK TO THIRD SPEED FROM FOURTH, WHEN IT NEED IT, NO OVERHEATING WHERE INDICATED BY THE HEAT INDICATOR JUST THE LOCK OF POWER,CAR NEED TO BE TOWED TO MY HOUSE. *TR

VEHICLE STARTED OUT SHIFTING HARD AND CHANGING GEARS HARD. WHEN VEHICLE WAS PUT IN REVERSE AND/OR DRIVER, IT STARTED SPUTTERING AS IF IT WAS ABOUT TO SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO VERY SLUGGISH WHEN HITTING THE ACCELERATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO THE MECHANIC TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND I WAS ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION OIL HAD MIXED WITH THE COOLANT IN THE RADIATOR, CAUSING COOLANT TO BE IN MY TRANSMISSION FLUID AND TRANSMISSION FLUID IN MY RADIATOR. I WAS ADVISED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE TYPE THAT NISSAN WAS AWARE OF, BUT ONLY OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES. IF NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE DEFECT IN THEIR PARTS, THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS THAT THIS DEFECT HAS CAUSED AND NOT PUT THE BURDEN ON THE BACKS OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN VEHICLE AND WILL TELL EVERYONE THAT I KNOW NOT TO PURCHASE A NISSAN. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK NORMALLY, IN THE MORNING, I CAME TO A STOP AT A STOPLIGHT. ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PRESSED THE PEDAL TO ACCELERATE AND THE TRUCK WAS SLOW TO RESPOND (AS IF IT WAS IN A HIGHER GEAR TO START) ONCE IT WAS UP TO ABOUT 20MPH IT DROVE DECENT ENOUGH. I CAME TO ANOTHER STOP AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN, SAME AS BEFORE, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS STOPPING AT A SCHOOL TO DROP KIDS OFF AND TURNED INTO A SPOT AND TURNED OFF THE TRUCK. IT WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON WHEN ATTEMPTED. I CHECKED THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES AND CAME UP WITH U1000, U1001, P0717. I HAD TO TOW IT AWAY FROM THE PARKING LOT A COUPLE DAYS LATER. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO CHECK THE TRUCK OUT, I FOUND A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF TRANSMISSION FLUID (FROTHED) IN THE COOLANT. I READ THAT THIS IS DUE TO THE INTERNAL RADIATOR TRANSMISSION COOLER FAILING AND MIXING THE COOLANT WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. I ALSO FOUND THAT THE REASON FOR THE TRUCK NOT STARTING WAS THAT THE 10A FUSE FOR THE A/T ECU BLEW. I HAVE REPLACED THE RADIATOR, FLUSHED THE COOLING SYSTEM, AND AM ABOUT TO TAKE A SAMPLE OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO SEE IF THERE IS COOLANT IN THE TRANSMISSION BEFORE I TALK TO A REPAIR FACILITY ABOUT REPAIRING THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED ERRATICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT RADIATOR FLUID WAS ENTERING THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

HAD CROSS CONTAMINATION OF COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID. NISSAN GARAGE DISCOVERED THIS AFTER I TOOK TO THE SHOP FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY UNRELATED. FOR SOME REASON THE GARAGE NEVER CHECKED FOR THIS OR MENTIONED THE CLASS ACTION SUIT WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS UNDER 100,000 MILES. I HAD TO PAY $5,000 AND COULD NOT RECOVER ANYTHING FROM THE CLASS ACTION, AS MY VEHICLE HAS 112,000 MILES. I STILL OWE ON IT! THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL, BUT NISSAN DECIDED TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY AND SAVE A TON OF MONEY, KNOWING THAT THIS ISSUE WOULD FREQUENTLY OCCUR AFTER 100,000 MILES. WE AS CONSUMERS, ARE DRIVING AROUND LIKE FOOLS, THINKING THAT OUR VEHICLES ARE RELIABLE AND SAFE. *JS

MY CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE LEAVING ME VULNERABLE TO ACCIDENT. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM AND IT IS ALREADY ON THIS SITE WITH 2 SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS. HOWEVER, THE INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN OPENED SINCE 2012 FEB AND NO RESULTS. THE DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS [XXX] SENT TO THE NC CONSUMERS COUNCIL ON 18 FEB 12 WITH NO PUBLISHED RESULTS. I AM THINKING THAT MAYBE SOME MONEY UNDER THE TABLE WENT TO [XXX] FROM NISSAN. OKAY THE LAST PART WAS A JOKE BUT REALLY 2 YEARS OPEN INVESTIGATION. PLEASE HELP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WE STARTED TO HAVE A VERY LOUD AND CREEPING NOISE WHEN WE PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE. SOUNDS LIKE WE WERE PULLING SOMETHING VERY HEAVY AND THE CAR COULD NOT RESIST IT. THEN, WE ALSO STARTED TO NOTICE ISSUES SUCH AS A DELAY IN GEAR CHANGES AND MORE NOISES NOW WHEN DRIVING FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT WITH A "BROKEN TRANS COOLER LINE IN RADIATOR WHICH MADE THE COOLANT LEAK AND MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID. THEY WANT US TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR, AND FLUSH ENGINE BLOCK BRINGING THE PRICE CLOSE TO 7K. I STARTED TO RESEARCH THIS AND I'M DEFINITELY ADDING MY COMPLAINT AND WILL SURELY CALL NISSAN TO SEE WHAT OPTIONS THEY WILL GIVE US. 2/20/15 *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND AS THE FREEWAY WAS COMING TO ITS END WHERE YOU HAVE AN OPTION TO GO ON ANOTHER FREEWAY OR INTO THE CITY AREA, MY CAR COMPLETELY DIED AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP. I WAS TRYING TO ROLL AND STEER MYSELF INTO A SAFE AREA SO THAT CARS WOULD NOT COME CRASHING INTO ME FROM BEHIND AS IT WAS AT NIGHT @ 7:30 PM. AFTER WAITING A MINUTE, I STARTED IT BACK UP AND THE VDC AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS DRIVABLE BUT SOMEWHAT JERKY AND STALLED ONCE AGAIN ON MY WAY BACK HOME. I TRIED TO GET THE CAR HOME SAFELY SO I CAN HAVE AAA TOW IT TO THE NEAREST SHOP NEAR MY HOME IF NEEDED. I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME AND THEN TOOK IT TO A SHOP WHERE BOTH CAM SHAFT SENSORS WERE REPLACED FOR $500. CAR DROVE BETTER BUT THEN STARTED SHAKING AT 40 MPH OR 60 MPH UNLESS I PUT IT IN OVERDRIVE OR LET OFF THE GAS AND TRIED AGAIN. DRIVING IN OVERDRIVE HELPED. MY MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE SO I THEN FOUND ANOTHER SHOP THAT WAS FULL-SERVICE WHERE THEY DID A FULL DIAGNOSTIC. I RECEIVED THE CALL ABOUT 5 HOURS AFTER DROP-OFF WHERE HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE AND YEAR AND THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE RADIATOR WHICH ALLOWS COOLANT TO MIX WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID AND ULTIMATELY DESTROY THE TRANSMISSION. HE ALSO RECOMMENDED AS A FIX THAT I GET A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR AND HOSES AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION THAT WOULD GO IN IT WOULD BE A NEWER MODEL NISSAN PATHFINDER TRANSMISSION WHERE THEY HAVE CHANGED/CORRECTED THE DESIGN AND WOULDN'T INCUR THIS ISSUE AGAIN. HE STATED IT'S A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY STOPS RUNNING AND THAT I WAS ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES THAT IT STILL DOES RUN. AS I HAVE JUST PAID THIS CAR OFF A FEW MONTHS EARLIER, THE NEW COSTS INCURRED TO FIX THE PROBLEM CORRECTLY, WOULD RUN ME ANYWHERE FROM $5,600-$7,500. MY VEHICLE'S VALUE IS $8,000 ACCORDING TO EDMUNDS.COM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND MY CAR SUDDENLY WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I MADE MY WAY TO A STREET LOCATION AND PULLED MY CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I SHUT THE CAR OFF. IT WOULD NOT START. I HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT IT IS THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

FOR THE PAST WEEK WHEN EVER I DROVE MY CAR THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHUDDERS, SHAKES AND HAS A HARSH UPSHIFT WHEN IT IS CHANGING GEARS. IT HAPPENS THE MOST ON HIGHWAYS GOING AT HIGH SPEEDS (55-65 MILES). I TOOK MY CAR INTO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP ON 1-29-14 TO GET IT CHECKED OUT. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED MY CAR WITH A "BROKEN TRANS COOLER LINE IN RADIATOR WHICH MADE THE COOLANT LEAK AND MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID. ADVISE REPLACE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR, AND FLUSH ENGINE BLOCK AS WELL AS REPLACE THERMOSTAT, (PRICE TO FIX: $5938.00 + 9% TAX)". I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON DEFECT ISSUE THAT NISSAN HAS BEEN DANCING AROUND SINCE 2007, AS WELL AS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BEING FILED AGAINST NISSAN. I BOUGHT THE CAR ON JULY 28, 2011, SO I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS IN WHICH THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM DID NOT INFORM US OF THIS WARRANTY BEING OFFERED BY NISSAN FROM THE LAWSUIT OR INFORMED US OF THE POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I HAD THE CAR COMPLETELY CHECKED OUT BY A MECHANIC IN NOVEMBER OF 2013 AND IT PASSED WITH NO ISSUES. NOW HERE WE ARE 2 MONTHS LATER, AND OVER 100,000 MILES AND MY NISSAN EXPERIENCES THIS ISSUE. THIS CAN BE A VERY DETRIMENTAL AND DRAMATIC FAILURE, CAUSING MASSIVE SAFETY ISSUES IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY CAR, ESPECIALLY ON HIGHWAYS GOING HIGH SPEEDS. I CONTACTED NISSAN THIS MORNING TO SEE IF THEY ARE GOING TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND SINCE I AM ONLY 11,000 MILES OVER THEIR "WARRANTY" (WHICH HAS HIGH DEDUCTIBLES), THEY DENIED TO HELP AND I AM LEFT HOLDING A $6500.00 PRICE TAG TO FIX MY CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER SHIFTING INTO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP DESPITE THE CONTACT APPLYING BOTH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND EMERGENCY BRAKE, AND THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A PARKED VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A DIAGNOSIS OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE INCIDENT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

THE TRUCKS TRANSMISSION SLIPPED WHILE I WAS MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THE TRUCK DIDN'T WANT TO MOVE. IT WAS VERY SCARY. I HAD THE WHOLE FAMILY WITH ME. *TR

WAS HEARING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE, DEALER DIAGNOSED AS TIMING CHAIN GUIDES BAD, SAID THIS WAS A "KNOWN" PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. 3 WEEKS AFTER FIXING WAS GOING TO WORK AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT, WAS ADVISED BY DEALER THAT COOLANT HAD LEAKED INTO THE FLUID FROM A FAULTY RADIATOR DESIGN ON THIS MODEL...ESTIMATED 6000+ FOR REPAIRS. THESE ARE KNOWN ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL NISSAN AND THE COMPANY HAS OFFERED ZERO HELP WITH CORRECTING THIS. *TR

AT APPROX 50K MILES THERE WAS A CLUNKING SOUND WHEN PUTTING INTO GEAR, SHORT TIME PERIOD LATER A COOLANT SMELL. THEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. FINALLY THERE IS A HEAVY VIBRATION WHEN SHIFTING OR ACCELERATING AND THE CAR DOES NOT WARM UP WHEN SITTING IDLE. *TR

CAR PURCHASED IN SEPT OF 2013, WAS SPEEDING UP FROM A STOP AT ABOUT 10 MPH AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP. IT HAS DONE IT MORE THAN ONCE, ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO I WAS CROSSING THE RAILROAD TRACKS AND IT SHUTTERED AND JERK, FINALLY GETTING OVER THEM WHICH WAS EXTREMELY SCARY WITH MY 9 AND 2 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR WITH ME. THIS PAST WEEK THE CAR HAS OVER HEATED 3 TIMES. THE LAST TIME LEAVING ME STRANDED IN -5 DEGREES TEMPERATURE WITH MY 9 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. I HAVE SINCE HAD TO BORROW A CAR SEEING THIS NISSAN IS PUTTING MY FAMILY IN DANGER EVERY TIME WE DRIVE IT. SINCE IT WAS JUST PURCHASED WITH 79,000 I STILL OWE ON THE VEHICLE WHICH IS EXTREMELY UPSETTING. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH SINCE AND HAVE SEE SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. I WILL BE TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THIS WEEK TO CLARIFY THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AS ALL THE OTHERS. WHAT UPSETS ME EVEN MORE IS THE CAR WAS SOLD TO ME FROM A NISSAN DEALER WITH 79,000 MILES AND WAS NEVER MENTIONED TO ME OF THE EXTENDED 80,000 MILES WARRANTY, SINCE THEN I HAVE EXCEEDED THE 80,000 AND AM REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT SHOULD CLEARLY BE A RECALL. IF THERE WAS STILL A WARRANTY AT 79,000 WHY WASN'T THIS ISSUE FIXED BY THE DEALER!!! PLEASE DO ALL YOU CAN TO HELP ALL THESE POOR FAMILIES OUT THERE!! THANK YOU *TR

TRANSMISSION WENT OUT GOING DOWN THE ROAD. STUCK IN OVERDRIVE. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH KIDS IN THE VEHICLE WHEN POWER IN THE TRANSMISSION WHEN TO NOTHING THEN SPORADICALLY STARTED WORKING AND NOT. SHE INTELLIGENTLY WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AND GET THE VEHICLE TO A SIDE ROAD IN A BOAT RAMP PARKING AREA WHERE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RUN IN ANY GEAR. I WAS CALLED AND MADE AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND CALLED MY PARENTS TO PICK THEN UP FOR THIS WAS OUR ONLY VEHICLE OF TRANSPORTATION. AFTER WORK MY DAD, UNCLE AND I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO OUR HOME WHERE IT HAS SET SINCE. DUE TO FINDING OUT THAT NISSAN ALREADY HAD A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OVER THIS AND THE RULING WITH THE MILEAGE ON MY VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL INTO ANY COMPENSATION OR ASSISTANCE TO BE FIXED THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS ONLY SIX YEARS OLD. JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON A BUSY ROAD DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SAFETY RECALL. MY UNDERSTANDING OF ISSUE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE MILEAGE RELATED AS MUCH AS TIME OF THE PROBLEM TO HAPPEN. *TR

WHEN DRIVING APRX 40-45 MPH, TRANSMISSION SOUNDS AS IF I WAS HITTING RUMBLE STRIPS. I LOSE POWER. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT COULD BE DUE TO A COOLANT LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER REVIEWING THIS SITE, I NOTICED MANY OTHER PROBLEMS AND AN INVESTIGATION STARTED ALMOST A YEAR AGO....PLEASE GET THIS DEFECT RECALLED!!! *TR

THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION MELTED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CAR COULD NOT MOVE ON REVERSE AND ONLY GOING 20MPH. *TR

THE TRUCK BEGIN TO SHIFT HARD AND RIDE AS IF ON GROOVES IN THE ROAD. AT TIME YOU WOULD HAVE TO REMOVE YOUR FEET FROM THE GAS SEVERAL TIMES TO STOP THE VIBRATION. THE TRUCK WOULD JERK WHILE DRIVING OR EXCEL VERY FAST WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER MONTHS OF THIS THE CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON 11/19/13. I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE NISSAN DEALER TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THEY CAME BACK WITH A ESTIMATED INVESTMENT: TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR, MATIC S COOLANT. NO CODES OR ISSUES THAT WERE WRONG AND AT THE BOTTOM A GRAND TOTAL OF $5047.33. I WAS TOLD THE RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING IT TO GO BAD. HE SAID THE COOLANT DAMAGES ALL THE INNER PARTS THROUGH CORROSION. I THOUGHT WHILE ALL THE REPORTS I HAVE READ ABOUT ONLINE ABOUT THE 2006-2010 MODELS NISSAN IS HAPPENING TO ME. SO WHAT DO I DO PAY A FORTUNE TO FIX A DEFECT THAT NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT SINCE 2007 AND HAVEN'T RECALLED TO FIX THEM IN A CAR I JUST BOUGHT A YEAR AGO, THAT IS NO WHERE BEING PAID OFF. WE NEED SOME HELP WITH THIS THERE ARE COMPLAINTS FROM NC TO CANADA. THIS IS NOT OCCURRING IN VEHICLES UNDER WARRANTY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT IN CARS THAT ARE OVER THE MILEAGE. THEY TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION PRESSURE WAS TO MUCH. IT IS A SUV WITH POWER THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO PAY FOR THIS. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ON I-95 DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT STOP AND GO SPEEDS DUE TO TRAFFIC CONGESTION AND WHEN THE OPERATOR WANTED TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. IT TOOK VARIOUS TRIES BEFORE IT WAS ABLE TO MOVE AND PLACED ON THE CURB. AFTER THAT THE VEHICLE STARTED TO RESPOND AGAIN BUT AT LIMITED SPEEDS AND WAS ABLE TO BARELY MADE IT BACK HOME AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS. IT WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING. IT HAS BEEN FURTHER DETERMINED THAT THERE IS A CONTAMINATION OF TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FLUIDS / COOLANTS AND A TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE MAY BE POSSIBLE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN OPERATION SINCE THIS WAS DISCOVERED AND WE ARE EVALUATING OPTIONS FOR REPAIR, UP TO AND INCLUDING TOTAL REPLACEMENT OF THE POWER-TRAIN AND RADIATOR. AFTER INVESTIGATING THIS POSSIBLE FAILURE I WAS ABLE TO FIND THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON MANUFACTURER DEFECT BUT I CAN NOT FIND ANY RECALL NOTICES. THIS WAS A VERY DISTURBING INCIDENT AND THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS HURT, BUT THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE OCCURRING IN THE MIDDLE OF I-95 COULD HAVE RESULTED IN CRASH DUE TO THE SUDDEN DECELERATION OF THE VEHICLE. I'M LOOKING FOR GUIDANCE ON HOW THIS CAN BE TAKEN TO THE MANUFACTURER SO THEY CAN TAKE CARE OF THIS OBVIOUS FACTORY DEFECT. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING BACK FROM YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AND JERKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED T BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

CALSONIC RADIATOR ISSUE - TRANSMISSION FLUID AND COOLANT MIXED CAUSING ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION. BAD TRANSMISSION COOLER AREA PER AAMCO. NISSAN IS UNWILLING TO HELP AS MY VEHICLE HAS 126K MILES ON IT. THESE ISSUES APPEAR TO BE HAPPENING IN A MUCH GREATER % THAN NISSAN IS ACKNOWLEDGING. THEY MOVED THE WARRANTY FROM 3 YRS/36000 MILES TO 8 YEARS/80000 MILES BUT IT STILL DOESN'T HELP THOSE WHOSE RADIATOR LEAKED AFTER THE 100K LEVEL PREMATURELY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND ALSO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT ISSUE. IT SEEMS THAT NISSAN CORPORATE, DEALERS, TRANSMISSION SHOPS AND OTHER GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE - SADLY, MOST CONSUMERS DON'T. I WOULD HAVE GLADLY REPLACED MY RADIATOR FOR $500 BUT NOW I WILL BE OUT $4000 BECAUSE NISSAN DIDN'T TELL THEIR OWNERS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

MAJOR VIBRATION DURING SHIFTING GEARS (TRANSMISSION). CONCERNED THAT COOLANT HAS LEAKED FROM RADIATOR INTO TRANSMISSION AS HAS BEEN REPORTED ON THOUSANDS OF OTHER PATHFINDERS. NISSAN SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL AND REPLACE RADIATORS/TRANSMISSIONS. *JB

NOTE: AFFECTED PARTS ARE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR (NOT SURE WHAT CATEGORY THOSE FALL IN) I PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP LESS THAN 3 MONTHS AGO. IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING I NOTICED WHAT SEEMED TO BE A MINOR LACK OF POWER OR CUTTING OUT WHEN COASTING DOWNHILL. I MENTIONED IT TO MY SALES REP, AND AGAIN WHEN I HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE SHOP ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR A TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE AND REAR DOOR HANDLE PROBLEM. I HAD NEVER OWNED A 4WD BEFORE AND IT WAS DISMISSED AS NO BIG DEAL SINCE IT STILL DROVE OKAY. THEN LAST WEEK, OVER LABOR DAY WEEKEND, MY CAR OVERHEATED AND IMMEDIATELY DISCHARGED A GREY MILKY SUBSTANCE FROM THE RADIATOR WITHOUT WARNING. IT HAD NOT OVERHEATED PRIOR TO THIS. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY INFORMED ME THAT BOTH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR NEED REPLACING TO THE TUNE OF $6,600. THE CAUSE BEING THE RADIATOR FLUID LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS REPAIR IS OVER HALF THE VALUE OF THE CAR. I NEVER WOULD HAVE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE HAD I KNOWN ABOUT THE DEFECT. AT A MINIMUM I WOULD HAVE INSISTED IT BE COVERED BY WARRANTY. I PAID FULL RETAIL PRICE FOR THE CAR NOT KNOWING OF THIS DEFECT. WHILE I'M GRATEFUL NO ONE WAS INJURED BY THIS DEFECT THIS TIME, I HAVE NO MEANS TO PAY THE REPAIR COSTS AND OWE $13,000 TO THE BANK FOR A VEHICLE I CANNOT DRIVE OR RESELL. *JB

I OWN A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER THAT JUST PASSED 90,000 MILES. IT SEEMS THAT I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AS MANY OTHERS. THERE IS A LEAK IN THE TRANSMISSION FROM THE RADIATOR. NOW I KNOW THAT THEY ARE TAKING SOME RESPONSIBILITY BUT REALLY HOW IS IT THAT I SHOULD RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR ANY PORTION OF THIS REPAIR. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL NO MATTER HOW MANY MILES. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT I WAS BUYING A CAR THAT WAS GOING TO LAST FOR 90,000 MILES I MIGHT HAVE WENT A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. IF IT WAS A NISSAN DEFECT WHY DO WE THE CONSUMER HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS? PLEASE HELP OUT THE MANY NISSAN OWNERS WHO ARE UPSET AND CONFUSED AT WHY THIS BURDEN SHOULD BE PUT ON US. THANK YOU. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND LOSE POWER BEFORE STALLING. THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID AND TRANSMISSION FLUIDS HAD MIXED AND BOTH THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED WAS DRIVING 40 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE AND SHAKE ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE THEN INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED, WHICH IDENTIFIED THE FAILURE AS THE RADIATOR COOLANT PENETRATING THE TRANSMISSION. AS A RESULT, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD DOWNSHIFT WITH ABNORMAL FORCE. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE RADIATOR, TORQUE CONVERTER AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER (AUTOMATIC), WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE A BIT THE VEHICLE SHOW SIGNS THAT THE SPEED-GEAR WILL NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. WHEN I AM AT A RED LIGHT ALSO FOR EXAMPLE ONCE THE LIGHT CHANGE TO GREEN THE CAR TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO ACCELERATE TO THE PROPER SPEED MAKING IT AN INCONVENIENCE FOR OTHER CARS BEHIND ME SINCE THE SPEED WILL NOT PICK UP ON TIME. SOMETIMES ALSO IT TEND TO " SHOT" MAKING A WEIRD NOT BEFORE RESUMING PROPER SPEED AND THIS HAPPEN MOSTLY ON LOCAL ROADS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THERE WAS AN UNEXPECTED INCREASE IN ACCELERATION FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD SPORADICALLY DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITH AN ABNORMAL REDUCTION IN ENGINE RPMS. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,669.

WIFE DRIVING HOME ON HIGHWAY VEHICLE WAS LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL, PULLED OVER AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, MADE IT HOME OK, THIS VEHICLE HAD A RECALL BUT DUE TO THE MILEAGE DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE REPAIRS, NISSAN KNOWS OF THE DEFECTS OF THIS TRANSMISSION BUT REFUSES TO FIX IT, THE COMPONENTS WERE FAULTY WHEN ASSEMBLED AND THEY REFUSE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FIX THAT IS NEEDED, THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE FOR A FAMILY OF FIVE AND WE DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

VEHICLE WAS HESITATING WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. DAUGHTER PULLED CAR IN DRIVEWAY, THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL. THEN ALL OF THIS FLUID LEAKED ON TO THE DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. PATHFINDER AT DEALERSHIP NOW TO BE REPAIRED. WILL COST ME $3000 FOR A KNOWN DEFECT. DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT THAT THE CONSUMER HAS TO PAY FOR THE MISTAKES OF THE MANUFACTURER. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL WITH THIS ISSUE - AND NISSAN SHOULD BE THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING THE ENTIRE AMOUNT. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILED DUE TO FAULTY RADIATOR IN OUR 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. OUR 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING ON A VERY BUSY INTERSTATE LATE SUNDAY JUNE 16TH, 2013. THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION FAILED SUDDENLY WITH NO KNOWN NOTICE. LUCKILY HE WAS ABLE TO STEER OF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UNTIL ASSISTANCE COULD COME. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NISSAN IS DEFINITELY AWARE OF. THEY WILL NOT RECALL THESE RADIATORS WHILE FULLY KNOWING THAT THE TRANSMISSION OF ALL 2005 THROUGH 2010 PATHFINDERS WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL LEAVING THEIR CONSUMERS AT A SAFETY RISK. THE REPLACEMENT OF ALL RADIATORS AND TRANSMISSIONS ARE ONLY COVERED UP TO 80,000 MILES OR 8 YEARS, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. AFTER THAT, THE CONSUMER IS ON THE HOOK FOR REPAIRS. PLEASE HELP TO HAVE THESE RADIATORS RECALLED! *TR

AT ABOUT 50 TO 60 MPH THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS CONSTANTLY TO A LOWER GEAR AND THE RPM SHOOTS UP TO 4000 OR SO, I HAVE TO ACCELERATE TO 75 FOR IT TO GIVE ME A HIGHER GEAR. THESE HAPPENS TO ME CONSTANTLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING OVER 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITANT UPON ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING FLUID INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER AND AS SHE PULLED AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN SHE FELT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING. A MONTH EARLIER WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A SHOP FOR A TRANSMISSION FLUSH AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT IT LOOKED LIKE CHOCOLATE MILK AND THE ENGINE COOLANT HAD MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. HE PERFORMED THE FLUSH AND NOW WE WERE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE VEHICLE AGAIN. I CALLED THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND COULD BE FIXED AND ALL I WOULD HAVE TO PAY WAS A DEDUCTIBLE WHICH WAS CHEAPER THAN REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. I ASKED HOW MUCH WAS THE DEDUCTIBLE, FOOLISHLY THINKING THAT IT WOULD BE AROUND $500, AND THEY SAID IT WOULD BE $3000. I ASKED WHY WASN'T THIS TREATED AS A RECALL AND WAS NOT GIVEN A STRAIGHT ANSWER. JUST THE TYPICAL BS THAT NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY "STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT". ULTIMATELY I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND FLUSHED IT OUT. IT'S WORKING NOW BUT I'M SURE I WILL HAVE TROUBLE ONCE AGAIN. I DON'T KNOW HOW I WILL GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE AND I STILL OWE. I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AND WILL BAD MOUTH THIS COMPANY TO EVERYONE. *TR

WE NOTICED THE NISSAN STARTING TO JERK ON THE FRWY AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT IMMEDIATELY TO THE MECHANIC THEY GAVE ME BAD NEWS APPEARANTLY THE TRANSMISSION HAD RADIATOR FLUID IN IT. HE SAID HE HAD SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE MANY TIMES HIS EXACT WORD WERE THE WAY NISSAN DESIGNED THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE CAUSES THIS. MY MECHANIC HAD TO REPLACE RADIATOR FLUSH THE WHOLE SYSTEM PUT NEW FLUIDS IN TOTAL COST $976.OO HE ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP BECAUSE HE SAID IT NEEDED TO BE LOOKED AT BY A SPECIALIST SINCE HE COULD NOT GUARANTEE IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN OR IF EVEN THE TRANSMSSION WOULD WORK. WELL IT WORKED BUT THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ON THE WAY TO THE TRANSMISSION SHOP ONCE THEY GOT DONE WITH IT AND REPLACED EVERYTHIN THAT NEEDED TO BE FIXED ON THE INSIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION I PAID $3227.49. ACCORDING TO EVERYTHING I READ THIS CAN HAPEN TO THE PATHFINDER WITHOUT ANY PRIOR PROBLEMS. WE TOOK PRETTY GOOD CARE OF OURS WAS A GREAT VEHICLE TILL WE HAD TO DISH OUT ALMOST 5K AFTER WE HAD JUST PAID IT OFF. I WILL NEVER BUY NISSAN AGAIN! *TR

AFTER A 90K MILE CHECK-UP AND FULL SERVICE IN SPRING 2012, I UNDERSTOOD THAT MY PATHFINDER WAS RUNNING WELL. NEVER WAS THERE A MENTION OF ISSUES WITH THE RADIATOR / TRANSMISSION, NOR WAS THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THESE ELEMENTS REPLACED TO PREVENT AN ISSUE (TO MY KNOWLEDGE.) AT 101K MILES, THE HEAT WENT OUT IN THE REAR SECTION OF THE CAR (I DID NOT REALIZE THIS UNTIL TWO MONTHS HAD GONE BY AND I WAS ARGUING WITH MY FREEZING CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT THAT I HAD HIS HEAT AS HOT AS IT WOULD GO - HE WAS CLEARLY CORRECT AND THE REAR BLOWERS WERE BLASTING HIM WITH ICY AIR.) THERE WAS A "CLUNK" UPON SHIFTING THE CAR INTO REVERSE, AND BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MPH THE TRANSMISSION LAGGED AND SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GRINDING AND WORKING HARD. AT 106K I BROUGHT THE PATHFINDER TO THE NISSAN DEALER WHERE I HAD ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE CAR. THIS WAS THE SAME DEALER WHO HAD DONE THE 90K SERVICE, AS WELL. THEY DETERMINED THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID HAD MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND THAT MY CAR NEEDED BOTH A NEW RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION FOR $9,000.00. (MY TRUCK IS MAYBE WORTH $15,000 AT THIS POINT - REALLY?) AFTER DELIBERATING WITH THE SERVICE SUPERVISOR, HE OFFERED AN ALTERNATE OPTION OF ONLY CHANGING THE RADIATOR AND FLUSHING THE TRANSMISSION SEVERAL TIMES TO ELIMINATE THE CONTAMINATED FLUID. I GAVE THE OK FOR THIS SERVICE OPTION AT $600. SINCE THE SERVICE, MY TRANSMISSION IS STILL LAGGING BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MPH AND THE "CLUNK" STILL HAPPENS DURING A SLOW REVERSE. I AM NOW INVESTIGATING MY OPTIONS FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION AS THE VEHICLE IS STILL IN BEAUTIFUL SHAPE, OTHER THAN ITS ENGINE ISSUES. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THIS ISSUE IS WIDE-SPREAD ENOUGH THAT THE TRANSMISSIONS AND RADIATOR SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED BY NISSAN - OR PAID FOR BY NISSAN SINCE IT'S THEIR FAULTY PARTS THAT CAUSE THE PROBLEM. *TR

2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER...WE STARTED EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION ISSUES(SLIPPING) WHILE ON HIGHWAYS AT SPEEDS OF 65 TO 70 CAUSING VEHICLE TO LOOSE GEAR/POWER. IN MOST OF THE INCIDENTS OUR VEHICLE WAS LOADED WITH MY KIDS AND WIFE AND WERE FORCED TO IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY TO AVOID BEING REAR-ENDED(CAUSING ACCIDENT). WE EXPERIENCED 4 INCIDENTS IN 2012 WHEN VEHICLE HAD OVER 75000 MILES. LATEST COSTLY INCIDENT TOOK PLACE 3 WEEKS AGO..MY WIFE LOST POWER AGAIN AS DRIVING OFF FREEWAY, PULLED INTO A SHOPPING CENTER, TURNED CAR OFF....ALLOWED A FEW MINUTES AND TRIED STARTING IT AGAIN BUT IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD, NO CRANKING AT ALL. LOCAL SHOP DIAGNOSED ISSUES WITH ELECTRICAL COMPUTER UNIT AND TRANSMISSION....GOT ALARMED, SEARCHED ONLINE FOR POSSIBLE RECALLS/DEFECTS.SURE ENOUGH I FOUND MANY LINKS TO COMPLAINTS AND CLASS LAWSUIT IN 2012. I CONTACTED DEALER...TWO DEALER DIAGNOSTICS REFLECTED A BAD BODY CONTROL MODULE(COMPUTER UNIT) AND BAD TRANSMISSION DUE TO RADIATOR FLUID INTO TRANSMISSION....I ALREADY NEW THIS. READING COMPLAINTS ONLINE IT APPEARS THAT THESE TWO ISSUES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL/DEFECTS BUT DEALER IS TREATING THE TWO SEPARATELY COSTING ME OVER $3400. I WILL CHALLENGE THEM ON TREATING THESE TWO AS SEPARATE ISSUES. WHY NISSAN HAS FAILED TO NOTIFIED CUSTOMERS ABOUT THESE ISSUES/DEFECTS? THESE FAILURES COULD HAVE CAUSED US AN ACCIDENT! PROPER NOTIFICATION FROM NISSAN COULD HAVE SAVE US THESE $3400+ IN REPAIRS. WHY IS NISSAN WAITING UNTIL VEHICLES ARE COMPLETELY OUT OF SERVICE? WHY DO US, CONSUMERS HAVE TO COVER PART OF THEIR MIS-ENGINEERING? I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AN INVESTIGATION AGAINST NISSAN AND MAKE THEM ACCOUNTABLE....MY FAMILY CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKES AND NEGLIGENCE! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TRANSMISSION MECHANIC WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS LOCATED AT THE RADIATOR WHICH HAD CRACKED AND ALLOWED COOLANT TO ENTER THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 149,000.

THE RADIATOR FLUID IS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND CAUSING SIGNIFICANT "RUMBLING" NOISES. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY. *TR

WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR SPEEDING UP BETWEEN ABOUT 30-50 MPH, THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION FELT LIKE IT WAS SLIPPING. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH AND SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS OF WORK COME TO FIND OUT THAT THE RADIATOR IS FAULTY CAUSING CROSS-CONTAMINATION BETWEEN ENGINE COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID. I AM AWARE THERE IS AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER AS WELL AS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT PENDING. I HAVE SPENT SIGNIFICANT MONEY TO TROUBLESHOOT AND REPLACE WHAT WAS NEEDED (RADIATOR AND MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION FLUSHES) AND FEEL I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED AS WELL AS HAVE A MORE THOROUGH INSPECTION AND ADDITIONAL REPAIR/REPLACEMENT IF NEEDED. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE ENGINE IS NOW DAMAGED DUE TO TRANSMISSION FLUID BEING IN THERE AND POSSIBLY THE TRANSMISSION. BOTH OF WHICH MAY BE FUTURE PROBLEMS THAT MATERIALIZE DOWN THE ROAD. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO MAKE THIS RIGHT FOR THE MANY NISSAN CUSTOMERS. *TR

BASICALLY THERE IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT WITH THE RADIATOR/COOLING SYSTEM. WE BOUGHT OUR NISSAN FROM BMW OF READING (PA) IN AUG OF 2012 AND SHORTLY AFTER IT STARTED TO SLIP. LONG STORY SHORT THE MECHANIC AT AAMCO SAID THE COOLANT FLUID MIXED WITH THE TRANS FLUID WHICH RUINED THE TRANS. YOU KNOW THE STORY AS THIS HAS HAPPENED TO EVERYONE I KNOW WITH A 2005-2010 PATHFINDER THAT HAS 70-100K MILES ON IT. PLEASE COME DOWN ON THESE IDIOTS FROM NISSAN AND MAKE THEM DO A RECALL, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN CONTRARY TO NISSANS BOGUS EXTENSION OF WARRANTY FROM 60 TO 80K MILES. THIS SEIZES UP IN A BUSY HIGH SPEED INTERSECTION AND SOMEONE DIES WHAT THEN? *TR

I BOUGHT A 2007 PATHFINDER FROM A VERY REPUTABLE USED CAR BUSINESS, CARMAX ALMOST 3 YEARS AGO. THEY ARE VERY WELL KNOWN IN THE AREA FOR THOROUGHLY CHECKING THEIR VEHICLES BEFORE RESELLING. IT HAD APPROX 59K MILES ON IT AND I'VE LOVED IT UNTIL RECENTLY. I STARTED EXPERIENCING HEATING PROBLEMS AWHILE AGO BUT MY MECHANIC COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG - HE EVEN CHECKED THE RADIATOR. A FEW MONTHS AGO, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHUDDER OCCASIONALLY WHEN I REACHED ABOUT 40 MPH. AT FIRST IT WAS VERY MINOR, I ACTUALLY THOUGHT IT WAS MAYBE GROOVES IN THE ROAD, ETC BUT THE ISSUE GOT WORSE. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION - THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO TOLD FLUSHING THE TRANSMISSION PROBABLY WOULDN'T HELP. THE RADIATOR IS GOING TO COST ME $913 AND BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM, A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS THE ONLY THING THEY COULD FIND AT $7400! I STILL OWE ON THIS VEHICLE AND AM WONDERING HOW WILL I EVER TRADE THIS IN OR EVEN AFFORD TO FIX IT. NISSAN WON'T HELP IN ANY WAY, EVEN BY DISCOUNTING THE LABOR AND PARTS AND THE CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT WON'T HELP EITHER BECAUSE MY PATHFINDER HAS 109K MILES ON IT - 9K OVER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY NISSAN ISSUED. WHAT A DISASTER. I'M A SINGLE MOM WITH A YOUNG DAUGHTER AND A MOTHER I CARE FOR. I RECENTLY TOOK MY FAMILY TO VISIT MY SISTER IN WEST VIRGINIA, YOU KNOW - MOUNTAINS. IMAGINE IF SOMETHING WOULD'VE HAPPENED THEN. I HAD NO IDEA ALL OF THIS WAS GOING ON AND AM NOW TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT. I'VE NEVER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM NISSAN THAT THERE WAS A POTENTIAL ISSUE - I WOULD'VE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND BEEN COVERED FOR REPAIRS!!! THIS IS A NIGHTMARE AND NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IN SOME WAY. WHY AREN'T THEY STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AT ALL!! DO A COUPLE OF HUNDRED PEOPLE HAVE TO GET HURT BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE? *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM PICKING UP OUR CHILDREN FROM SCHOOL. SHE WAS TRAVELING APPROX 65 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER, BECAME UNSTABLE, AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. SHE SAID THAT IT WAS LIKE SOMEONE PUT ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WITH FIVE TIMES MORE. FORCE THAN NORMAL ALMOST CAUSING HER TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP THE PROBLEM WAS FOUND TO BE THAT COOLANT HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND HAD DESTROYED THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER AND THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER BRAND NEW.. I JUST PAID IT OFF LAST YEAR.. I'VE BEEN FEELING LIKE SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE SHIFTING FOR SOME TIME.. BUT NO ONE COULD FIND ANYTHING... WELL AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT JUST DID NOT WANT TO SHIFT.. STARTING HEATING WHEN I WENT OVER 60 MPH. I TOOK IT TO A SPECIALIST AND COME TO FIND OUT THE RADIATOR IS LEAKING COOLANT INTO MY TRANSMISSION.. IM AT 3500.00 IN JUST PARTS RIGHT NOW.. THAN I GO ONLINE AND SEE ALL THESE OTHER POOR FAMILIES THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN.. ALL NISSAN HAD TO DO WAS LET US KNOW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE LEAKAGE.. THIS MAKES ME SICK.. I WORKED HARD TO PAY THIS VEHICLE OFF.. NOW INSTEAD OF TAKING MY KIDS ON VACATION I WILL BE PAYING FOR MY VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED.. NISSAN TOTALLY DENIES ANY PROBLEM, HOWEVER WHEN YOU CALL THE DEALERSHIP THEY WILL TRY AND SELL YOU AN UPDATED RADIATOR.. WHY DOES IT NEED TO BE UPDATED IF THEY ARE SAYING NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE OLD ONE?? SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. WE PUT OUR TRUST IN A PRODUCT AND IT FAILED US AND NOW THEY WANT MORE MONEY FROM US.. THIS IS WRONG.. I BEG FOR ANY ASSISTANCE AND THAT SOMEONE STEP IN AND MAKE NISSAN PAY FOR WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO PEOPLE.. FAMILIES WORK TO HARD FOR THEIR PRODUCTS TO HAVE TO BE TREATED THE WAY NISSAN IS TREATING US.. AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE LISTENING... I WANT ANSWERS.. IF I SOLD A PRODUCT AND THERE WAS A DEFECT I WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM,... NOT TRY AND COVER IT UP WITH MAKING MY CONSUMER BY ANOTHER PART FROM ME... *TR

THE RADIATOR LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL AT A CRITICAL OPERATIONAL POINT. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE, BUCKED SHARPLY AND NEARLY CAUSED A COLLISION. THE VEHICLES WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THIS IS THE SECOND MAJOR DRIVETRAIN FAILURE WITHIN 8 MONTHS. NISSAN IS AWARE OF SUBSTANDARD DEIGN, PARTS, AND CRAFTSMANSHIP IN THE 2007 PATHFINDER THAT RENDER THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO OPERATE ON PUBLIC OR PRIVATE ROADWAYS. PLEASE TAKE ACTION BEFORE THERE ARE SERIOUS INJURIES RELATED TO THESE DEFECTIVE DRIVETRAINS. *TR

CAR WAS GIVING ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. TWO DAYS LATER I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND CAR WOULDN'T GO PAST 10 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER JUST OUT OF THE WAY OF SPEEDING TRAFFIC. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON FOR IT TO START AND SLOWLY SHIFT GEARS. STILL WAS ONLY ABLE TO GO UP TO 15MPH AT FIRST, ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF MY LOCATION. ONCE I KEPT GOING IT STARTED TO SPEED UP TO NORMAL SPEED. IMMEDIATELY I CALLED NISSAN, BUT BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THEM MY CAR FAILED TO START. I WAS SENT THE RECALL LETTER IN 2012 FOR MY MAKE/MODEL/YEAR. NOT RIGHT BECAUSE BY THAT TIME I RECEIVED THE LETTER I HAD ALREADY GONE OVER THE MILEAGE. EVEN IF I WAS WITHIN MILEAGE HOW CAN YOU MAKE THE BUYER PAY UP TO $3000 DOLLARS FOR A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. ONE PROBLEM IS STARTING TO LEAD TO ANOTHER. FIRST BAD TCM THEN RELAY. I'M FED UP WITH TRYING TO FIX A VEHICLE THAT I KEPT MAINTAINED WITH THE NECESSARY MAINTENANCE CHECKS.

I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN!!!!! *TR

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP AFTER STARTING A VACATION TRIP. VEHICLE WILL NOT BACK UP AND ONLY MOVES FORWARD VERY SLOWLY ON LEVEL SURFACE, WILL NOT CLIMB HILLS.

PATHFINDER STARTED HESITATING AT 40 MPH REGARDLESS OF CITY OR HIGHWAY DRIVING, HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED AND WAS ADVISED BY MY MECHANIC THERE IS A LEAK FROM RADIATOR INTO TRANSMISSION LINE, HAVE SINCE THEN SEEN TRANSMISSION FLUID A MILKY COLOR AND I CANNOT DRIVE VEHICLE WITH OVERDRIVE ON, WHEN IT DROVE WITH OD ON AT ABOUT 40 MPH THERE IS NO SHIFTING OF GEARS. *TR

TRAVELING ON I-95 WHEN TRANSMISSION STARTED TO FAIL, VEHICLE DROPPED SUDDENLY IN SPEED WHILE IN VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC IN THE FAR LEFT LANE, CARS DIRECTLY BEHIND STARTED SWERVING INTO THE MIDDLE LANE AND IT WAS A MIRACLE THAT I OR SOMEONE ELSE WASN'T INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT TRYING TO GET MY VEHICLE TO THE FAR RIGHT LANE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN STALLED WHILE THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THE VALVE BODY AND RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A LEAK IN THE RADIATOR AND THE COOLANT WAS INTERMIXING WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 104,000.

FIRST ISSUE STARTED WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE ONTO THE INTERSTATE. THE CAR/ENGINE STARTED SHAKING BETWEEN 40 AND 50 MPH AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED WHEN I HAD TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. OTHER ISSUES WERE SIMILAR, CAR SHAKING AT 40 TO 50MPH, LIKE DRIVING OVER A WASHED OUT ROAD. UNABLE TO ACCELERATE INITIALLY, THIS WOULD LAST FOR SEVERAL SECONDS, BEFORE FINALLY RESPONDING, SHAKING WOULD GO AWAY WHEN SPEED WOULD EXCEED 50MPH. FINAL SAFETY ISSUE OCCURRED WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP LIGHT ONTO A HIGHWAY RAMP. AT 40MPH THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY WENT OUT, THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD JUST STARTED TO MERGE, I HAD TO SWERVE BACK ONTO THE RAMP LANE AND STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I WAS NEARLY HIT BY THE HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AND ALMOST REAR-ENDED BY A CAR GOING BACK INTO THE RAMP LANE. CARS WERE FORCED TO SLAM THERE BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING MY DEAD CAR, IT ALSO MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR OTHER CARS TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY, SEVERAL CARS NARROWLY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT. CAR WAS TAKEN TO SHOP, TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. RADIATOR DEFECT HAD CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. *TR

VEHICLE JERKS VIOLENTLY AT 50 MPH AND 70MPH. MULTIPLE INCIDENTS WHERE VEHICLE HAS LOST ALL ACCELERATION POWER IN FREEWAY. NEAR MISSED ACCIDENTS. VALVE BODY IS FLOODED AND VEHICLE DOES NOT START ANYMORE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK AND SHIMMY ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE RADIATOR MALFUNCTIONED AND LEAKED ANTI-FREEZE INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THEY ALSO ADVISED THAT THE RADIATOR FAILED AND WAS LEAKING ANTI-FREEZE INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WAS 122,123.

AFTER PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, I FELT THE TRANSMISSION ACTING SLUGGISH. THINKING IT WAS GLITCH, PULLED INTO A 50MPH STREET AND ALMOST GOT HIT FROM BEHIND DUE TO THE VEHICLE NOT PICKING UP SPEED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. BECAUSE I HAD EXCEEDED MY WARRANTY THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $9,900 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM. I CALLED THE ED HICKS NISSAN DEALERSHIP BACK AND INFORMED THEM OF THIS RESEARCH. THEY STATED THAT MY PROBLEM WAS A DIFFERENT ONE SO THE NISSAN EXTENDED WARRANTY THEY OFFERED WOULD NOT COVER IT. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT THAT NISSAN SHOULD PAY FOR, AS I HAVE DONE ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT 30 MPH AND THE NISSAN PATHFINDER 2007 START MAKING A NOISE IN THE MOTOR LIKE WHEN YOU HAVE THE CAR IN 1 BUT IT WAS ON DRIVE, THEN THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON ALARM APPEAR. I PARKED THE CAR BUT WHEN TURNING ON AGAIN IT DIDN'T. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE RADIATOR COOLANT DAMAGE TRANSMISSION AND THE COMPUTER BECAUSE WAS DAMAGED. THE ESTIMATED COST OF THE REPAIR WAS $9,400. *TR

A VIBRATION OCCURS AT ABOUT 1500 RPM. AT THE TIME MY CAR HAD ABOUT 24000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK THE CAR TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME MY TORQUE CONVERTER WAS GOING OUT. I TOOK THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG BUT THAT THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WAS AND THEREFORE IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. IT IS NOW 54000 MILES AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE VERY EASILY. I AGAIN TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION OIL WAS AS BLACK AS MOTOR OIL. THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I THEN TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND, SAME STORY, THEY SAID IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY BY THREE MONTHS. THEY AGAIN SAID THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION BUT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT IT WAS. EVEN THOUGH I MADE THE COMPLAINT ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AS THE VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. THERE IS QUITE A LITANY OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT TRANSMISSION FAILURES FROM NISSAN PRODUCTS. I AM OBVIOUSLY QUITE UPSET AND DISSATISFIED. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN PRODUCT. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AT VARIOUS SPEED LEVELS. THE DEALERSHIP INSPECTED AND DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION COOLER FAILED AND DAMAGED TRANSMISSION THROUGH CROSS CONTAMINATION. THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER KNOWS THAT THIS PROBLEM EXISTS BUT THE WARRANTY IS ONLY EXTENDED TO 80,000 MILES BUT THE PROBLEMS IN MOST CASES SHOW UP AFTER 80,000 MILES.

I STARTED HAVING A SUDDEN JERKING IN MY 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I TOOK IT INTO A NISSAN DEALER THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILURE WITH THE RADIATOR INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY WHICH ALLOWED LEAKING COOLANT INTO MY TRANSMISSION FLUID CAUSING BOTH RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE DEALER NOW STATES THAT I NEED TO REPLACE BOTH ITEMS OR TRADE IT IN. .... COME ON NISSAN YOU HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM. WE NEED A RECALL....... *TR

RADIATOR DEFECT LEAKED COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSED TRANSMISSION TO FAIL; WILL NEED A NEW RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF THIS KNOWN DEFECT IN THE RADIATOR. ALSO, ENGINE TIMING CHAIN DEFECTS IN 2005-2010 PATHFINDERS. REPAIRS ARE SET TO BE $12,000 - WHICH IS MORE THAN THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MAKE A RUMBLING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO REPLACED THE UNIVERSAL JOINT. TWO DAYS LATER THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A HOSE THAT MALFUNCTION MIXING FLUIDS COMING FROM BOTH. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 104,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A THUD AND LOST POWER, HAD TO GO OVER 2 LANES WITHOUT BEING HIT.... I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THE MECHANIC NEW EXCACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEMS WAS. RADIOTOR FLUID GETTING INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING IT TO FAIL... HUNDREDS OF NISSAN PATHFINDER OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. TELL NISSAN TO RECALL THIS NOW BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.. SHOULDNT HAVE TO PAY $8000 FOR NISSANS CRAPPY WORK.. *TR

NISSAN HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THIS ISSUE (TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR} AND WHEN I CONTACTED THEM THEY SAID IT HAD TO BE CHECKED BY A NISSAN DEALER. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED 250 MILES AWAY TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AT MY OWN EXPENSE, WAIT 2 AND A HALF WEEKS FOR THEM TO TELL ME BECAUSE I BOUGHT IT USED (NOT NEW} THEY DECIDED THAT THEY CAN NOT COVER IT UNDER THE WARRANTY. SO A USED VEHICLE HAS NO WARRANTY? NOW I HAVE TO PAY THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE IT TOWED BACK AT MY EXPENSE ANOTHER $375, THIS IS WRONG ON ALL LEVELS AND SHOULD BE COVERED THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE LIKE THIS. THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE VEHICLE'S LOSING POWER IN TRAFFIC, ON THE HIGHWAYS AND HOW THEY BARELY AVOIDED GETTING INTO MAJOR ACCIDENT'S. I KNOW THAT THE NEW YORK TIMES HAS DONE UP AN ARTICLE ABOUT THIS AND I THINK IF WE CAN BAIL OUT THE AUTO INDUSTRY EVEN THOUGH NISSAN DID NOT TAKE A BAIL OUT WE SHOULD MAKE THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR DEFECTS OR DO WE HAVE TO WAIT TILL SOMEONE DIES BECAUSE OF THESE DEFECTS BEFORE SOMEONE MAKES THEM ACCOUNTABLE. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS PATHFINDER, FIRST GM BURNED ME VERY BADLY AND NOW NISSAN. PLEASE PLEASE.... SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. "PLEADING FOR YOUR HELP" THANK YOU *TR

MY PATHFINDER WAS SHOULD HAVE BEEN SLOWING FROM THE SPEED OF AS I WAS BRAKING AND LETTING OFF THE GAS, BUT IT KEPT MOVING FORWARD AND SHAKING. IF THERE WAS A CAR IN FRONT OF ME I WOULD HAVE HIT THEM HARD. MY TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT DOWN TO SLOW DOWN, DUE TO RADIATOR LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION. THE COST OF MY REPAIR OF BOTH RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION IS OVER $5000. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY HUSBAND AND I EXPERIENCED LOSS OF POWER AND HAD TO PULL ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE WERE TOWED FROM THERE TO THE MECHANIC WHO EXPLAINED TO US THAT THE INTERNAL RADIATOR HAD LEAKED FLUID INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING FAILURE TO BOTH. SINCE OUR WARRANTY WAS OUTDATED WE ARE NOW OUT 6000$ AND ARE STRUGGLING TO FIX THIS. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AND DISAPPOINTED IN THE VEHICLE. WE HAD OUR CHILDREN WITH AND I AM VERY GLAD THAT WE WERE NOT AT A BUSY INTERSECTION OR INTERSTATE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER SE, I ENCOUNTERED A HESITATION OF TRANSMISSION FUNCTIONALITY WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ACROSS TWO LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. AS I PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE THROUGH THE LEFT TURN, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO SLIP AND WOULD NOT GET OUT OF FIRST GEAR. SUBSEQUENTLY, MY SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. THE NEXT DAY, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL AUTOEXPRESS TO HAVE THE ODB-II CODE RETRIEVED, I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT READ IT AS IT WAS A DEALER SPECIFIC CODE. I LEFT AND WENT RIGHT TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT A PART OF THE RADIATOR HAD BROKEN AND THE CAR WAS NOW MIXING ANTIFREEZE WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID. THEY INFORMED ME THAT BOTH THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $9200.00, THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT I CALL NISSAN AS I WAS JUST 2000 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY. AFTER COUNTLESS CALLS TO THE CALL CENTER IN THE PHILLIPINES AND THE REGIONAL OFFICE IN OHIO, I WAS BASICALLY TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME, THEY STATED THAT BECAUSE THERE WERE NO RECORDS OF MAINTENANCE BEING DONE AT THE SELLING DEALERSHIP, I WAS OUT OF LUCK. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND IT IS A FULLY LOADED MODEL. THE PLAN WAS TO DRIVE THIS TO THE 200K MILES THAT NISSAN HAS BEEN PITCHED TO COMMONLY ACHIEVE. INSTEAD, I HAVE A CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY THAT I CANT DRIVE, I STILL OWE $4700 ON IT, AND IT WILL COST ME $9L JUST TO MAKE IT USEFUL AGAIN. NISSAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. IT WILL NOT BE UNTIL SOMEONE DIES THAT ANY RECALL ACTION WILL HAPPEN. NISSAN HAS CHASED AWAY A LIFE-LONG LOYAL CUSTOMER. *TR

I WAS ON BUSY 495 HIGHWAY IN MARYLAND WITH MY FAMILY, ALL OF A SUDDEN MY 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER STOPPED ACCELERATING, AND THERE WAS A BIG TRUCK BEHIND ME ON HIGH SPEED, MY WIFE AND KIDS STARTED SHOUTING WHEN THEY SAW THE BIG TRUCK ALMOST RAN US OVER. I HAD TOWED THE NISSAN PATHFINDER TO THE DEALER, ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT IT'S A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND MIGHT COST ME MORE THAN $6,000 TO FIX. I GOT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW FROM NISSAN IN 2007, AND ONLY HAVE ABOUT 75,000 MILES ON IT. A USED CAR THAT I BOUGHT WITH 105,000 MILES ON IT, AND TOPPED IT WITH ANOTHER 65,000 MILES, MAKING IT 170,000 MILES IS STILL RUNNING GOOD! SOMEONE OUT THERE NEEDS TO SHOUT OUT THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THEIR VEHICLES WITH TRANSMISSION ISSUES BEFORE THEY WASTE PEOPLE'S LIVES VIA ACCIDENTS. *TR

START HAVING PROBLEMS IN MID JULY OF 2010. TRANSMISSION WAS JERKING IN GEAR. RADIATOR BROKE DOWN, ALLOWING FLUID TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE IS INOPERABLE. ALSO BEEN HAVING PROBLEM WITH FUEL GAUGE. UNABLE TO GET VEHICLE REPAIRED, DUE TO LIMITED INCOME. VEHICLE BECAME INOPERABLE PASSED EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

STARTED NOTICING IN MARCH 2007 A NOISE LIKE RUNNING OVER A RUMBLE STRIP FOR BRIEF PERIODS THAT WE THOUGHT WERE EITHER OUR NEW TIRES OR ROAD SURFACES. LATER WE NOTICED IT STARTED GETTING LONGER AND IT SEEMED LIKED IT HAD A HARD TIME SHIFTING GEARS. WE TOOK IT TO OUR NISSAN DEALER WHO INFORMED US THAT THERE WAS A LEAKAGE BETWEEN THE COOLING SYSTEM AND THE TRANSMISSION WHICH IN TIME WILL CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. WE ALSO FOUND OUT THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM,BUT WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED. NOW THEY TOLD US EVEN WITH AND EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 80K WE WERE PAST THAT AT 81K. I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE FORCED BACK TO UP THEIR KNOWN DEFECTS AND ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS APPROX 80K MILES WHEN HEAT STOPPED WORKING AND TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING HARD. I WAS INFORMED BY MY MECHANIC THAT COOLANT HAD MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND THAT IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AT NISSAN. WE REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND FLUIDS. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE TRANSMISSION IS INOPERABLE AND NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE. MY MECHANIC AT MIDAS OF RICHMOND VA INFORMED ME THAT HE SEES THIS PROBLEM ALL THE TIME AND THAT NISSAN IS DOING NOTHING. CLEARLY, NISSAN KNEW THIS WAS A PROBLEM AND HAS REFUSED TO TAKE ANY ACTION DUE TO THE HIGH COST OF THE REPAIR. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS A KNOWN DEFECT ISSUE. I CANNOT BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER WOULD BE ALLOWED TO INSTALL A MAJOR VEHICLE COMPONENT WITH A KNOWN DEFECT AND FOR THE CUSTOMER TO HAVE NO RECOURSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FILTER RADIATOR CAUSED THE COOLING TO LEAK, WHICH DESTROYED THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED WHO STATED THAT HE WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE TYPE OF FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURE WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,875.

WHILE DRIVING WITH THE AC ON, MY VEHICLE STARTED TO BLAST OUT HOT AIR THROUGH THE VENTS AND OVERHEAT. MY CAR HAS NEVER RAN HOT BEFORE, I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS SINCE I'VE HAD IT. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY AND LET THE CAR COOL DOWN. MY HUSBAND REMOVED THE RADIATOR CAP AND NOTICED A MILKY LIQUID IN THE RADIATOR. WE HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A MECHANIC SHOP AND THEY NOTIFIED US OF THE RECALL ON THE NISSAN (2005-2010 MODELS) RADIATORS. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVE BEEN SEEING WHERE THE COOLANT MIXES WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUIDS AND CAUSE A MAJOR REPAIR PROBLEM. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE RADIATOR, TRANSMISSION, TRANSMISSION KIT, THROTTLE, VIAL BODY, AND TORQUE CONVERTER WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I FEEL PETRIFIED TO KNOW THAT NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THIS EXISTING PROBLEM BUT REFUSED TO HAVE THESE ISSUES REPAIRED RATHER THAN TAKING THE EASY WAY OUT AND EXTENDING THE WARRANTY. WE BOUGHT OUR TRUCK BRAND NEW FROM THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WE ALSO PAID FOR THE 5YR/100,000 MILE WARRANTY. I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK FOR 5 YRS AND 2 MTHS, SOMETHING SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS. WE THE CONSUMERS HAVE TRUSTED THIS BRAND FOR MANY YEARS AND WE DEPEND ON OUR VEHICLES ON A DAILY BASES. MY FAMILY AND I WERE ALL IN THE VEHICLE WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED WE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HARMED IN A HIGH RISK SITUATION. WE HAD THE 90,000 MILEAGE MAINTENANCE COMPLETED WHERE THEY FLUSHED THE RADIATOR, CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION, & ETC. AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. MY HUSBAND HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR TIMELY MAINTENANCE AND NO ONE HAS EVER MENTIONED THE RADIATOR ISSUES. *TR

AT FIRST STARTED NOTICING HESITATION IN TRANSMISSION AT 40 MPH, CONFIRMED BY 2 MECHANICS TRANS FLUID IS MILKY COLOR AND CHANGED FLUID AT A LOCAL SERVICE STATION THAT HAD TO GO TO NISSAN AND GET THEIR TRANSMISSION FLUID TO FINISH JOB. NOW BACK TO MILKY TRANSMISSION FLUID, HAVE TO TAKE OVERDRIVE OFF BECAUSE GEARS WILL NOT SHIFT, I ALSO CARRY GALLON OF WATER BECAUSE AT ANY TIME RADIATOR FLUID LEVELS CAN BE LOW; HAVE TO TURN AIR OFF AT LONG STOP LIGHTS SO TEMP GAUGE DOESN'T GO UP. *TR

AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED VIBRATING AND GRINDING. I PROMPTLY TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A CHECK, AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS THE TRANSMISSION THAT NEEDS REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THAT I "JUST MISSED" THE CUT OFF FOR THE WARRANTY EXTENSION TO COVER THIS DEFECT, AS MY VEHICLE AS 81000 MILES ON IT. THE DEFECT IS REPORTEDLY ONLY COVERED UNTIL 80000. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF A DEFECT OR RECALL. I HAVE FOLLOWED ALL MANUFACTURE RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE OF MY PATHFINDER. PLEASE CONSIDER EXTENDING THIS COVERAGE, SINCE IT IS A DEFECT AND NOT RELATED TO MY CARE OF MY VEHICLE. *TR

THE FAULTY SEAL THAT SEPARATES THE ANTI-FREEZE AND TRANSMISSION FLUID MIXED AND RESULTED IN THE TRANSMISSION FAILING. THIS CATASTROPHIC FAILURE THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS ADMITTING TO BUT ONLY GIVING PARTIAL REMEDY AS IT MAY NOT HAPPEN BEFORE 80,000 MILES. I FIND MYSELF ALONG WITH MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS WHO ARE FOOTING THE BILL FOR THE 8600 DOLLAR REPAIR IN TOUGH ECONOMIC TIMES. WHEN BUYING A NEW VEHICLE IT SHOULD LAST LONG ENOUGH TO FINISH PAYING THE CAR NOTE WITHOUT ANY MAJOR EXPENSES. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY AS A RECALL SO THE CONSUMER CAN BE REIMBURSED FOR TERRIBLE ENGINEERING THAT ANY MECHANIC WILL TELL YOU. EVEN THE NISSAN DEALERS KNOW IS A PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT TAKE OWNERSHIP. IS THERE ANY ASSISTANCE AS A CONSUMER? *JS

I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY GARAGE WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I TOOK MY CARE TO A GARAGE WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WHERE THEY HAVE FOUND THAT MY TRANSMISSION FLUID IS LEAKING INTO MY RADIATOR AND VICE VERSA. THEY MECHANIC SAID HE HAS SEEN QUITE A FEW OF THESE, WHEN I CALLED NISSAN TO FIND OUT MORE I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE MANY OF THESE PATHFINDERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS THE FAILURE OF A 400 DOLLAR PART THAT NISSAN SENT NO NOTICE TO ANYONE FOR. I WAS TOLD I WAS OUT OF LUCK. I HAVE OWNED 5 NISSANS AND BECAUSE OF THIS ABSOLUTE DISREGARD FOR CUSTOMERS WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER ONE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN I NOTICED MY 2007 PATHFINDER WAS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY, THEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I THEN TOOK IT TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE TO SEE WHAT CODE WAS CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON, I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION SPEED SENSOR. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK MY CAR TO A TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT THE SPEED SENSOR, BUT THE RADIATOR HAD LEAKED COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS THEN TOLD THIS WAS VERY COMMON IN THE PATHFINDER AND NISSAN WOULD NOT HELP WITH REPAIR COST. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE I USUALLY GET MY CAR SERVICED AND WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND WOULD NOT HELP WITH REPAIR COSTS UNLESS I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THEM FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. I DID THEY TOLD ME WHAT I ALREADY KNEW AND THAT IT WOULD COST $7500 TO REPAIR MINUS THE $105 I SPENT FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. MY CAR IS NOT PAID FOR AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET IT REPAIRED. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR POOR HANDLING OF THIS DEFECT. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE SOMEONE BEING SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE THEY TAKE ACTION. SINCE FINDING OUT THIS PROBLEM I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING AND HAVE FOUND I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS FIGHT AGAINST NISSAN. *TR

CAR STARTED SHIFTING VERY ROUGH AND STALLED IN TRAFFIC. VERY DANGEROUS! FOUND OUT FROM NISSAN SERVICE CENTER THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE RADIATOR THAT CAUSES THE COOLANT TO MIX INTO THE TRANSMISSION. BOTH THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION NEED TO BE REPLACED. NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON BOTH PARTS TO 80,000 MILES (APPARENTLY NISSAN KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM). UNFORTUNATELY, IT AFFECTED MY CAR AT 88,000 MILES. NOW, NISSAN IS REALLY GIVING ME THE RUN-AROUND. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER FOR 2 DAYS. THEY INFORMED ME TODAY (MAY 11, 2012) THEY WOULD MAKE A DETERMINATION BY MAY 16TH IF THEY WILL "HELP PAY" FOR THE FIX. THE DEFECTIVE RADIATOR SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED! I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS FIX. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED DUE TO THIS DEFECT!!!! *TR

MY NISSAN PATHFINDER STARTED OVERHEATING. WE HAD THE THERMOSTAT CHANGED. NISSAN STILL OVERHEATED SO I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND A FAULTY MECHANICAL ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO GET ANTIFREEZE IN IT AND THE RADIATOR TO GET TRANSMISSION FLUID IN IT. NISSAN EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY TO 80,000 MILES BECAUSE OF ALL THE CUSTOMERS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THIS, BUT MINE WAS OVER. ALSO THE GAS GAUGE IS FAULTY AND WHEN YOU FILL THE GAS TANK UP THE DIGITAL READOUT WILL NOT WORK AND THE GAS GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY. I'VE RAN OUT OF GAS TWICE BECAUSE OF THIS FAULTY GAUGE. *TR

MY VEHICLE STARTED TO STALL AS IF IT WAS GOING TO CUT OFF, I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES THEN IT STARTED RIGHT UP AS IF NO ISSUE. LATER THAT DAY WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHIFT REALLY HARD AND STALL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AS FLUID COOLER LOCATED IN THE RADIATOR ASSEMBLY THAT ALLOWED COOLANT TO MIX WITH AND CONTAMINATE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID. I WAS REALLY AFRAID OF BEING REAR ENDED AS THE VEHICLE STALLED AS IT SHIFTED TO THE NEXT GEAR, PRIOR TO THIS THERE HAD BEEN ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE OF THIS MAGNITUDE. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER, NISSAN SENT ME AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE RADIATOR TO 82000 MILES, STATING THAT IT WILL CRACK AND LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING DAMAGE. MY PATHFINDER'S RADIATOR FAILED AT 109000 MILES AND NISSAN TOLD ME THAT I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS BECAUSE IT WAS PAST THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. SO THE RADIATOR COST ME ABOUT $600 AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND COST ME $2500. I COMPLAINED TO NISSAN AND THEY DON'T CARE, I HAVE SEEN ONLINE THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH NISSAN BUT THEY WILL NOT RECALL THE RADIATOR, THEY HAVE HORRIBLE SERVICE. *TR

HAVEN'T FINISHED PAYING OFF MY CAR AND ALREADY THE TRANSMISSION OF MY NISSAN PATHFINDER 2007 IS FAILING. THE RADIATOR SPILLED THE COOLING LIQUID INTO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH THEN PROCEEDED TO CAUSE SERIOUS PROBLEMS TO THE TRANSMISSION. THE GUARANTY EXPIRED AFTER 100 000 MILES, EVEN THOUGH PRIOR TO THAT THE MILEAGE THE GUARANTY STILL APPLIED. NOW, IN ORDER TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION, OR REPLACE IT FOR A NEW ONE, WILL COST ME OVER $5000USD. I'D LIKE TO UNITE TO THE EXISTING COMPLAINTS/LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN ON THE MATTER OF THE FAULTS FOUND IN THE 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER, AS I FEEL THAT IS UNFAIR THAT THE COMPANY WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF FAULT IN ITS PRODUCT HAS NOT WARNED THE PUBLIC AND HAS PROCEEDED TO SELL THE PRODUCT TO THE PUBLIC, LEAVING US WITH A FAULTY MACHINE THAT IN THE END IS MORE EXPENSIVE, AND NOT A SATISFACTORY PRODUCT. I AM HOPEFUL THAT THE COMPANY WILL RESPONSE TO ALL OF OUR COMPLAINTS, STEPPING FORWARD AND TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE THEY HAVE CAUSED, AND HOPEFULLY TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THE EXPENSES THAT DUE TO THEIR LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY, HAVE BEEN INCURRED ON TO US, THE CONSUMERS. *TR

TRANSMISSION HAD BEGUN TO SLIP WHILE TRANSITIONING TO AND FROM GEARS(NO MATTER THE SPEED).WHEN PUTTING VEHICLE INTO GEAR THERE WOULD BE THIS HORRIBLE "JERK", AS IF THE TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE WERE ABOUT TO FALL OUT!!! VEHICLE WOULD NOT WARM UP WHILE IN PARK. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF IT WOULD ONLY START BACK UP IF THE "ECU FUSE" WERE REPLACED. TOOK VEHICLE TO TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST AND HE STATED THAT THE RADIATOR HAD BEEN LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION!! THIS ISSUE IS NOW SUBJECT TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES!!! HIS RECOMMENDATIONS, A NEW OR REBUILT TRANSMISSION. I HAVE READ REVIEWS WERE SOMEONE HAS EVEN HAD THEIR TRANSMISSIN REPLACED ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES OR SIMILAR IN NATURE. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IS NOT UTILIZING AN APPROPRIATE RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO JERK WITH HESITATION. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP FOR DIAGNOSIS, WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT RADIATOR FLUID LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION WHICH CONTRIBUTED TO THE FAILURE. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHERE THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 40 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND.
