Consumer Description

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED ON MY CAR. AFTER TRAVELING FROM PHILADELPHIA TO QUEENS NY APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT I SLOWED DOWN WHILE DOING SO THE SUV SUDDENLY MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND THE ENGINE REVED VERY HIGH HOWEVER THE OUTPUT OF THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY AT A CRAWL. I IMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHIFTED TO PARK THE LOUD GRINDING NOISE COULD BE HEARD AGAIN ONLY LOUDER. THIS CAR WAS MY FIRST NEW PURCHASE I ROUTINELY SERVICE IT AT THE DEALERSHIP, AND NOW AT 78,000 MILES AM FOUND STRANDED IN NY TRYING TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THE PATHFINDER ONLY TO FIND THAT THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO OVER HEATING WHICH CAUSE METAL DETERIORATION IN THE TRANS ITSELF. WHY HAVEN'T WE HEARD OF A RECALL YET! HOW LONG CAN THIS PROBLEM CONTINUE?*AK
