NHTSA Complaint #10583620 — 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER

I WAS DRIVING YESTERDAY NIGHT WHEN MY CAR STARTED JERKING AND STOPPED SUDDENLY ON THE HIGHWAY, THANKFULLY THE CARS BEHIND ME WERE ABLE TO STOP AVOIDING A CRASH BECAUSE THERE WAS LOTS OF TRAFFIC, BUT OTHERWISE, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL CRASH. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, PEOPLE HAD TO HELP PUSH IT OFF THE HIGHWAY. THEN AFTER A WHILE IT STARTED MOVING AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR, JERKING ALL THE WAY BACK TO MY HOUSE. I HAD PREVIOUSLY NOTICED A JERKING WHENEVER I AM ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION OF PATHFINDERS OWING TO A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURE THAT CAUSES RADIATOR FLUID TO MIX WITH COOLANT AFFECTING THE TRANSMISSION. THEY FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION BUT THE JERKING CONTINUED. I WAS SEARCHING THE INTERNET ON THIS AND SAW MANY COMPLAINT ON THIS. THIS ISSUE NEED TO BE RESOLVED. I AM GLAD I WAS SPARED BUT LIFE'S ARE BEING PUT IN DANGER. *TR
