NHTSA Complaint #10546928 — 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER

CAR SHUTTERS WHEN WE GET TO ABOUT 45 MPH AND YOU CAN FEEL SOME ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER DOING A LOT OF RESEARCH, APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY NISSAN. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT THAT SAYS THIS IS NOT A SAFETY HAZARD SO THEY MADE AN ARRANGEMENT TO COVER SOME, BUT NOT ALL, IN FULL. APPARENTLY RADIATOR FLUID IS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND RUINING THE TRANSMISSION. THE SETTLEMENT SAYS THAT AT MY MILEAGE, OVER 90,000 MILES BUT BEFORE 100,000 THEY WILL FIX THE PROBLEM FOR $3000! WOW! HOW SWEET OF THEM. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS NOT A RECALL. THERE ARE THREADS AND THREADS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS EXACT PROBLEM. IT EFFECTS 2005-2010 MODELS. THEY SAY IT ONLY EFFECTS A SMALL AMOUNT, THAT IS BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN THE IMPACT YET. ARE WE GOING TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE IS REALLY INJURED TO DO A RECALL. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. GUESS I WILL JUST DRIVE IT LIKE THIS AND HOPE THAT IT DOESN'T HURT ME OR SOMEONE ELSE, SINCE NISSAN SAYS IT IS NOT A SAFETY HAZARD. HOW ISSUES WITH A TRANSMISSION ARE NOT A SAFETY HAZARD IS BEYOND ME. I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AGAIN. THIS IS MY SECOND NISSAN AND THE SECOND ONE THAT I HAVE HAD TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION REPLACED IN. THE OTHER ONE WAS REPLACED IN THE FIRST YEAR BECAUSE OF ANOTHER ISSUE THAT THEY COULDN'T FIX. NO MORE NISSANS IN THIS HOUSE! *TR
