Consumer Description

AS I WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE LIKE I WAS RUNNING OVER THE EMERGENCY LANE VIBRATION STRIPS AND LOST POWER. I WAS IN HIGH TRAFFIC AND WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. I HAD TO LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL, COAST A LITTLE THEN PRESS THE PEDAL AGAIN UNTIL IT SHIFTED INTO A HIGHER GEAR. I HAD IT CHECKED BY A DEALER AND TURNS OUT THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED BECAUSE OF A CRACK IN THE RADIATOR ASSEMBLY THAT ALLOWED COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION. A PROBLEM THAT MANY PATHFINDER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. A PROBLEM THAT NISSAN KNEW ABOUT IN THEIR PATHFINDERS AND INSTEAD OF RECALLING THE VEHICLES THEY EXTENDED A WARRANTY THAT LEAVES THE OWNER PAYING A $3,000 CO PAY TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR REPLACED FOR A KNOWN PROBLEM. *TR
