Consumer Description

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER LE, IT CURRENTLY HAS 64,000 MILES, AT APPROX. 58,000 MILES I NOTICE EXCESSIVE VIBRATION THRU OUT THE VEHICLE AT ABOUT 74MPH, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HAVE THE TIRES BALANCED AND ROTATED BUT THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN WHO TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT I SHOULD KEEP AN EYE ON IT, WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR MY OIL CHANGE I TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND AGAIN THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM SO THEY RE-BALANCE THE TIRES WHICH DID NOT CHANGE ANYTHING. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THREADS REGARDING THIS INCIDENT WERE THE RADIATOR COOLANT LINE LEAKS INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION, IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE LEADING TO THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION, CAR SHAKES TREMENDOUSLY AS IF IT WERE FALLING APART, HOW CAN THERE BE SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND YET NISSAN DOES NOTHING TO FIX IT, EXTENDED WARRANTIES COVER TRANSMISSION DAMAGE BUT YOUR STILL LEFT WITH A $1000.00 BILL FOR THE RADIATOR. *TR
