Consumer Description
WE NOTICED THE NISSAN STARTING TO JERK ON THE FRWY AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT IMMEDIATELY TO THE MECHANIC THEY GAVE ME BAD NEWS APPEARANTLY THE TRANSMISSION HAD RADIATOR FLUID IN IT. HE SAID HE HAD SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE MANY TIMES HIS EXACT WORD WERE THE WAY NISSAN DESIGNED THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE CAUSES THIS. MY MECHANIC HAD TO REPLACE RADIATOR FLUSH THE WHOLE SYSTEM PUT NEW FLUIDS IN TOTAL COST $976.OO HE ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP BECAUSE HE SAID IT NEEDED TO BE LOOKED AT BY A SPECIALIST SINCE HE COULD NOT GUARANTEE IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN OR IF EVEN THE TRANSMSSION WOULD WORK. WELL IT WORKED BUT THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ON THE WAY TO THE TRANSMISSION SHOP ONCE THEY GOT DONE WITH IT AND REPLACED EVERYTHIN THAT NEEDED TO BE FIXED ON THE INSIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION I PAID $3227.49. ACCORDING TO EVERYTHING I READ THIS CAN HAPEN TO THE PATHFINDER WITHOUT ANY PRIOR PROBLEMS. WE TOOK PRETTY GOOD CARE OF OURS WAS A GREAT VEHICLE TILL WE HAD TO DISH OUT ALMOST 5K AFTER WE HAD JUST PAID IT OFF. I WILL NEVER BUY NISSAN AGAIN! *TR
