NHTSA Complaint #10567259 — 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER

MY CAR STARTED TO RATTLE AND LOSE POWER AT 45 MPH. I DROVE IT HOME AND TRIED TO REVERSE IT IN WITH NO LUCK. I IMMEDIATELY KNEW I HAD A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. I PARKED THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO LATER INFORMED ME THAT MY RADIATOR COOLANT FLUID HAD MIXED WITH MY TRANSMISSION FLUID AND DESTROYED MY ENTIRE CAR. THEY QUOTED ME BETWEEN 7000-9000 TO FIX THE CAR. I CONTACTED NISSAN WHO INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TWICE TO UP TO 100,000 MILES. I FIND THIS IRONIC SINCE AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH THE ISSUE USUALLY OCCURS AFTER 100,000 MILES. NISSAN HAS KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR 7 YEARS AND HAS CHOSEN TO IGNORE THE ISSUE AND NOT ISSUE A RECALL. NOW THE CONSUMERS HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL.
