Consumer Description

DUE TO A KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER TRANSMISSION COOLING SYSTEM, MY DAUGHTER WAS STRANDED BY A VEHICLE THAT WOULDN'T MOVE. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 2005 YEAR MODEL. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM AND THE TRANSMISSION MIXING FLUIDS, THEREBY CAUSING CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. LEADING UP TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE, THE TRANSMISSION MAY FAIL TO SHIFT OR IT MAY DOWNSHIFT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAUSING OVERSPEEDING OF THE ENGINE. *TR
