Consumer Description

WELL MY PATHFINDER WAS WORKING GREAT AND I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH IT THEN ONE DAY I'M DRIVING IT TO WORK AND IT JUST STOP I KEPT ACCELERATING AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE. A FRIEND OF MINE CAME AND LOOKED AT IT AND TOLD ME ON THE SPOT YOU RADIATOR BUSTED AND FILLED YOUR TRANSMISSION WITH COOLANT AND THAT DESTROYED YOUR TRANSMISSION AND DESTROY IT DID. MY FRIEND TO TOLD ME FUNNY THING IS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED BY INSTALLING AN EXTERNAL COOLING WHICH HE WOULD HAVE DONE FOR 100 BUCKS IF ONLY HAD NISSAN LET ME KNOW THAT THE 2005 PATHFINDERS HAD THIS ISSUE. OH WELL I FEEL CHEATED AND I SWORE IN MY LIFE I WILL HAVE A NISSAN CAR AGAIN OR ACURA FOR THAT MATTER NOR ANYONE IN MY FAMILY. THIS ONE I'M STUCK WITH BUT ONCE GUARANTEED THAT THE MECHANIC GAVE IT'S ABOUT TO EXPIRE I'M SELLING IT AND I'M DEFINITELY NOT BUYING NISSAN AGAIN! EVER! *TR
