NHTSA Complaint #10626698 — 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER

I OWN A NISSAN PATHFINDER 2008. THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED WHEN THE VEHICLE'S RADIATOR BEGAN TO RUN HOT. WE TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE COOLANT WAS MIXING WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. WE REPLACED THE RADIATOR IN HOPES THAT THE DAMAGE HAD NOT EXTENDED TO THE TRANSMISSION. WHILE OUT OF TOWN ON A TRIP, THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT IN THE PATHFINDER. THE TRUCK WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE LOCAL DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS GONE, AND IT WOULD REQUIRE REPLACING. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY CALLED NISSAN AND WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF RECALL, BUT MY VEHICLE HAD TOO MANY MILES. THE DEFECT IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, NOT ONE OF MY OWN DOING. NISSAN WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER. THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE DEALING WITH THE SAME THING. *TR
