NHTSA Complaint #10574765 — 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER

VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE AS IF RIDING OVER BUMPS AT APPROX 60-65 MPH AND THEN WHEN APPROACHING A STOP A JERKY SHIFT WOULD OCCUR AT APPROX 5-10 MPH. SERVICE ENGINE SOON ILLUMINATED CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE MORE THAN 10 MPH SO MY WIFE PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN AND HAD TO BE TOWED. I HAD THE CODE PULLED FROM THE ECU AND IT REPORTED ERROR "P0717 INPUT TURBINE SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT NO SIGNAL". AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE I FOUND A LOT OF INFORMATION ON DEFECTIVE RADIATOR IN 2005-2010 NISSAN PATHFINDER, XTERA AND FRONTIER WHICH ALLOWS COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID TO MIX AND CAUSES TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHICH WAS ALSO CONFIRMED BY CONTAMINATED COOLANT IN THE RADIATOR. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF THIS FAILURE LIKE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED UNTIL ITS SUDDEN FAILURE AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL IN PLACE.
