Consumer Description

TOOK MY 2006 PATHFINDER TO A SHOP FOR POOR HEAT, AND A SLIGHT TRANSMISSION SHUTTER AFTER CHECKING THE FLUID NOTICED THE ANTI-FREEZE WAS CONTAMINATED WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS MILKY FROM THE ANTI-FREEZE. ONLY HAVING 88,000 MILES ON CAR I STARTED LOOKING FOR REASONS AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE RADIATOR CAUSING IT TO SWAP FLUIDS. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE SHOP OWNER HE BELIEVES IT WAS CAUGHT EARLY SO THERE IS AN OFF CHANCE THAT A GOOD FLUSH AND TRANSMISSION SERVICE WILL CORRECT THE SHUTTER, HOW EVER I WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR, THERMOSTAT, ALL FLUIDS AND THE HOSE ASSEMBLY THAT CONNECTS THE REAR HEAT ( BECAME BRITTLE AND CRACKED FROM TRANSMISSION FLUID) FOR A COST OFF $2000 PARTS. *TR
