NHTSA Complaint #10500624 — 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER

2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER STARTED HAVING A VIOLENT VIBRATION AT AROUND 50MPH. RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS ARTICLES REGARDING THIS ISSUE. ALL INFORMATION I FOUND INDICATED THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION THROUGH THE COOLENT LINE. WHEN I CHECKED MY RADIATOR LEVEL, THE COOLENT WAS LOW, WHICH WAS ONE OF THE INDICATORS THAT HIS WAS MY PROBLEM. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM, LESS THAN A YEAR AGO WITH 75,000 MILES, THEY TELL ME THAT THE WARRENTY ONLY COVERS VEHICLES WITH LESS THAT 80,000 MILES. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS NO MENTION OF THE ISSUE, ONLY THAT THE PATHFINDER WAS A SOLID, CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VIHICLE. NOW I WILL HAVE TO PAY $3,000 CO-PAY. EVERYTHING I HAVE READ, INDICATES THAT THESE ISSUES RARELY EVER START BEFORE 80,000 MILES. THE FACT THAT THE INDUSTRY IS LETTING THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS IS DISGUSTING TO ME. I HAVE A WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN RIDING AROUND IN A FAULTY VEHICLE WITH A WELL KNOWN ISSUE I CAN'T AFORD TO FIX. *TR
