NHTSA Complaint #10639647 — 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER

I HAD THE VEHICLE'S TIRES REPLACED AND WITHIN A FEW DAYS THERE WAS A SHUDDER LIKE RUMBLE STRIPS. I TOOK THE PATHFINDER BACK TO HAVE THE TIRES LOOKED AT. REPAIR SHOP REPLACED THE WHEEL BEARINGS. THE SHUDDER STILL PERSISTED. I TALKED TO A FRIEND WHO OWNS A TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP AND HE TOLD ME ABOUT THE RADIATOR LEAK/TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. HE SAID TO CHECK THE ENGINE COOLANT FOR MILKINESS AND SEARCH ONLINE. THE COOLANT IS MILKY AND AFTER READING ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, MY FAMILY IS SCARED TO USE THE PATHFINDER. I THINK A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING BECAUSE OF FAILURE OF THE COOLING SYSTEM NOT WEAR AND TEAR. A FAILING TRANSMISSION IS MORE LIKELY TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT THAN A FAILING COOLING SYSTEM. ALSO, NISSAN'S EXTENDED WARRANTY SEEMS TO END TO EARLY TO BE EFFECTIVE. *TR
