Consumer Description

2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER - NOTICED SHUDDER AROUND 60 MPH INTERMITTENTLY FOR ABOUT ONE WEEK THEN PROBLEM BECAME MORE FREQUENT OCCURRING AROUND 40-45 MPH. WHILE TRYING TO TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP, TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL IN THE PATH OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. DEALERSHIP SAID THAT RADIATOR HAD FAILED, LEAKING COOLANT INTO TRANSMISSION WHICH REQUIRED BOTH TO BE REPLACED. SINCE FAILURE OCCURRED AT 90,000 MILES, WARRANTY ON RADIATOR THAT HAS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER DEFECT IS VOID AND THUS PREVIOUSLY COVERED TRANSMISSION WARRANTY IS ALSO VOID. NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND RECALL THE PART, LEAVING THEIR CUSTOMERS STRANDED BOTH ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IN THEIR WALLETS. TRANSMISSION FAILURE IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR MANY REASONS. THE LOOPHOLE APPEARS TO BE THAT SINCE THE FAILURE IS DUE TO THE RADIATOR, ANYTHING RELATING TO THE TRANSMISSION IS NULL AND VOID. *TT
