Consumer Description

I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH MY 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER AT APPROXIMATELY 100,000 MILES. I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM WITH THE HEATER. WHEN I WAS PARKED THE TRUCK WOULD NOT HEAT UP ONLY COLD AIR WITH COME OUT. NEXT PROBLEM WAS WHEN I WOULD STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL THE TRUCK WOULD JERK ALOT AND IT WOULD VIBRATE WHEN I WOULD SPEED UP. IT WAS VERY SCARY, IT ACTUALLY FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO CAUSE ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, THAT'S HOW TERRIBLE IT FELT. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FOR THEM TO CHECK IT AND THEY IMMEDIATELY KNEW THAT THE PROBLEM WAS COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE COOLANT MIXED INTO THE RADIATOR CAUSING FOR THAT TO GO BAD TOO. I CALLED THE NISSAN HEADQUARTERS AFTER FINDING OUT THAT THIS ISSUE WAS EXPERIENCED BY SO MANY OTHER OWNERS OF 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDERS. THIS JOB COST ME OVER $4000. *TR
