Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION PROBLEM I HAD NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING ON MY 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER. TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO DID NOT THINK IT WAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. IT GETS WORSE THE LONGER YOU DRIVE IT, BUT AGREED IT WAS NOT RIGHT AND TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST. I TOOK IT IMMEDIATELY, HE PUT THE CAR ON THE ON COMPUTER AND GOT ERROR CODES BACK, CAR IS FINE.... I EXPLAINED MY PROBLEM AGAIN AND HE DECIDED TO TAKE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE. HE WASN'T GONE 10 MIN WHEN HE PULLS IN TO HIS GARAGE WITH TRAN FLUID POURING OUT FROM UNDER MY CAR. HE NEEDS TO USE THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER AS THE FLUID IS SO HOT IT IS CATCHING ON FIRE. NOW AFTER ALL HAS SETTLED DOWN HE DOES GET ERRORS ON THE COMPUTER BUT NOTHING SPECIFIC ABOUT THE PROBLEM. HE HAS YET TO TELL ME WHAT CAUSED IT EXCEPT THAT IT IS INTERNAL. THERE ARE SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS MODEL AND MAKE SOMEONE HAS TO DO SOMETHING. WHAT IF I WAS DRIVING MY CHILDREN ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. WOULD WE HAVE ALL GOTTEN OUT! *TR
