Consumer Description

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT RELEASED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND HAD TO ACCELERATE AGAIN VERY SLOWLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. IN ADDITION, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WAS CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE WAS CROSS CONTAMINATION WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING INTO THE RADIATOR AND COOLANT ENTERING THE TRANSMISSION. AS A RESULT, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE RADIATOR WAS REPLACED AND FLUSHED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED AND THE RADIATOR HAD TO BE CONTINUOUSLY FLUSHED OF TRANSMISSION FLUID. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT ASKED THE DEALER IF THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V690000 (AIR BAGS), BUT THE DEALER STATED THAT THE RECALL WAS NONEXISTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.
