Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION FAILURE. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE PATHFINDER AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. IT WOULD NOT MOVE EITHER FORWARDS OR BACKWARDS. WE TOWED THE VEHICLE AND UPON INSPECTION BY REPUTABLE TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST, WERE TOLD TWICE BY TWO DIFFERENT INSPECTION SHOPS THAT THE COOLER THAT COOLS THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS 1) DEFECTIVE AND 2) STOPPED UP AND PREVENTED THE TRANSMISSION FROM GETTING PROPER FLUID FLOW. THE TRANSMISSION SHOPS STATED THAT THEY HAVE ADVISED NISSAN OF THIS ISSUE NUMEROUS TIMES AND HAVE REPAIRED THIS ISSUE ON OTHER CARS NUMEROUS TIMES. THE FAILURE CAUSED US TO TOW THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP WITH ESTIMATED REPAIR COSTS OF $3,000. BECAUSE THE FLUID FROM THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT BEING PROPERLY HANDLED, THE PARTS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION BECAME OVER HEATED AND WERE PERMANENTLY DAMAGED. THERE ARE MANY PARTS IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT WERE DAMAGED. TOO MANY TO LIST HERE, BUT I HAVE A LIST OF PARTS IF NEEDED. *TR
