Consumer Description

8/31/2016 - CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DURING NORMAL DRIVING, I BROUGHT IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION WHICH SHOWED THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED. THIS IS DUE TO THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION INTERMIX PROBLEM IS HOW NISSAN NOTES IT AND VALIDATED BY MY CALL TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. THE CAR IS OUTSIDE THE NISSAN EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD FOR THIS ISSUE WHICH IS 10 YEARS BUT WELL UNDER THE 100,000 MILES AS IT HAS 80K MILES AT TIME OF EVENT. NISSAN IS UNABLE TO OFFER ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE SO THE OUT OF POCKET COST TO REPAIR ($5-$6K) MAKES IT NOT WORTH THE REPAIR SO I'M STUCK WITH A CAR THAT TO DATE I HAVE MAINTAINED VERY WELL. THERE WAS NOT WARNING SIGNS AND I AM SURE THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME TIME AS IT DOES NOT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT. VERY DISAPPOINTING THAT NISSAN DOES NOT TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM THAT HAS PLAGUED HUNDREDS OF NISSAN PATHFINDER OWNERS.
