2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER Power Train Problems

The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact became aware of transmission failure during the gear shifting. The contact stated that the gear shifter would remain in neutral. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and was diagnosed with transmission failure. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was contacted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 128,364.

Transmission oil cooler line in radiator broke causing coolant and transmission oil to mix and car is not driveable and needs $3,000 repairs

.Transmission failed do to coolant in transmission. .got stuck in traffic and couldn’t go anywhere .this is a known problem with these vehicles .vehicle has been inspected by owner who is a mechanic .there were no warning signs

THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING A LITTLE LET FOR US WHEN I START FROM THE STOP SIGN OR FROM A DEAD STOP WHEN THE ENGINE IS COOL AND I 1ST STOP IT RUNS FINE FOR THE 1ST MINUTE OR 2 BUT THEN AS I'M DRIVING ALL OF SUDDEN IT START SLIPPING REAL BAD IF I'M IN REGULAR DRIVE WOULD YOU OVERDRIVE ON WHICH IN 5TH GEAR CANNOT GO ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER 55 MILES AN HOUR AND JUST THAT SLIPPING REAL BAD UNLESS I PUT IT IN 4TH GEAR BY TAKING THE OVERDRIVE OFF DANIEL RIDE OKAY FOR A WHILE BUT IT'S SOON AS I GO TO A STOP SIGN OR I STOPPED THE VEHICLE TAKING OFF IT'S SLIP SO BAD IT ALMOST IS NOT MOVE AT ALL ONCE YOU GET SOME MOVING AND RUNS NOT TOO BAD BUT THE LONGER I DRIVE IT TO WHERE SHE GETS UNTIL I SHUT...

TRANSMISSION ISSUE DUE TO LEAK MIXTURE OR RADIATOR FLUIDS. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT GEARS DUE TO COOLANT IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS HAS ESSENTIALLY RUINED THE TRANSMISSION DUE TO THE RADIATOR FAILING AND ALLOWING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION VIA THE TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLANT LINES THAT RUN THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE RADIATOR.

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER AND I WAS DRIVING TO THE DOCTOR AND THERE WAS A SHUDDER. I DIDN'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS UNTIL I DID SOME RESEARCH WHICH EXPLAINS THERE ARE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH NISSAN TRANSMISSIONS IN GENERAL. I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT DUE TO BEING ON A FIXED INCOME. I'M PAYING PAYMENTS ON IT AND ALSO INSURANCE WHICH I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE IT. I NEED MY VEHICLE TO GET PLACES I NEED TO GET. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. I REALLY BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD RECALL TRANSMISSIONS AND FIX THEM.

TO ADD TO MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT MY TRANSMISSION TOTALLY WENT OUT WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO MY MOMS FRIENDS HOUSE. I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE IT TO GET PLACES I NEED TO GO.

THE TRANSMISSION IS SHUTTERING, FEELS LIKE IT IS SLIPPING AT TIMES. THE COOLANT LOOKS LIKE CREAMY PASTE. THE SUV WANTS TO BOUNCE OR PULL TO THE SIDES. ALSO AT TIMES IT FEELS LIKE THE MOTOR IS RUNNING HIGH AND THE VEHICLE WILL MOVE SLOW.

EL VEHICULO COJE LA REVERSA PERO NO EL DRIVE Y NO QUIERE ARRACAR NO LA PUEDO USAR NI MOVER HACIA FRENTE

ALL 4 OF MY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED (OR NEED TO BE REPLACED - I'VE ALREADY REPLACED BANK 1. NOW BANK 2 IS BAD) IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS OR SO AND NOW MY RADIATOR IS LEAKING INTO MY TRANSMISSION. I DISCOVERED THERE WAS A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT ON THE RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION ISSUE, BUT I'M OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. WITH RESPECT TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, I OCCASIONALLY SMELL EXHAUST, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS STAY ON. WITH THE TRANSMISSION, IT STARTED OUT AS GEAR SLIPPING, CAUSING ROUGH DRIVING (WHICH THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER). THEN, IT STARTED RUNNING SLOW OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND HARD SHIFTING. I TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION PLACE THAT PULLED TRANSMISSION CODES AND WHEN THEY DROPPED THE PAN, THE FLUID LOOKED LIKE A MILKSHAKE. THE ROUGH DRIVING/GEARS SLIPPING DIDN'T MATTER - IT COULD BE ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN THE...

I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN THE CAR SHUDDERED AS IF GOING OVER ROUGH PAVEMENT. THE ENGINE STARTED RACING, BUT THE CAR GRADUALLY LOST FORWARD PROPULSION. I STEERED TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND STOPPED. AFTER A MINUTE, THE CAR REGAINED JUST ENOUGH FORWARD MOTION TO GET ME TO THE NEXT EXIT, ACROSS AN INTERSECTION (WHERE THE LIGHT JUST HAPPENED TO BE GREEN, THANK GOODNESS), AND INTO THE PARKING LOT OF A LARGE GROCERY STORE BEFORE THE VEHICLE LOST ALL PROPULSION. WE PUSHED THE CAR THE LAST FEW FEET INTO A PARKING SPOT. IT WAS TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THE NEXT DAY THAT THE TRANSMISSION WARMER HAD FAILED, ALLOWING RADIATOR COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH RUINED THE TRANSMISSION. THE REPAIR WOULD COST $6000. I CANNOT PUT ANOTHER $6000 INTO A 13-YEAR-OLD VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH I'VE ONLY HAD IT FOR FIVE...

RADIATOR FAILED CAUSING LEAK OF RADIATOR FLUID INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSING VEHICLE TO BE TOWED TO AUTO SHOP. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY AND THEN WOULD ALL OF THE SUDDEN NO LONGER ACCELERATE. MECHANICS, (GOT 3 ESTIMATES) ALL SAID SAME THING; THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THESE PATHFINDERS. MY COST IS ABOUT 6,500. I HAD JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FOR 8,500 ABOUT 3 WEEKS PRIOR.

TRANSMISSION IS FAILING QUICKLY. I HAD TO REPLACE MY RADIATOR A FEW MONTHS AGO BECAUSE IT CRACKED. THAT EVENT LEFT MY WIFE AND CHILDREN STRANDED ON THE INTERSTATE.

THERE IS A SYSTEM DESIGN FLAW WITH THE 05-10 NISSAN TRUCKS; PATHFINDER, FRONTIER, XTERRA. THE RADIATOR HOUSES BOTH COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID. WHEN THE RADIATOR FAILS, IT LEADS TO COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID MIXING; RESULTING IN CATASTROPHIC FAILURE AND PREMATURE DESTRUCTION OF THE TRANSMISSION. OUR TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED WITH A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION AFTER THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 89K MILES. AFTER THE NEW TRANSMISSION WAS PUT IN, THE TRANSMISSION WAS DESTROYED AT 90K MILES AND THE ISSUE WAS TRACED BACK TO A CRACKED/RUPTURED RADIATOR; LEADING TO MIXING OF COOLANT AND RADIATOR FLUID WHICH IN TURN RUINED THE TRANSMISSION. THE COST OF THE INITIAL TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT WAS $6000; THE ESTIMATED COST OF REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN ALONG WITH THE RADIATOR AND FLUSHING THE SYSTEM AND REPLACING THE FLUIDS IS $8000. IN BOTH INSTANCES OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE, IT HAPPENED DURING DRIVING CONDITIONS ON A HIGHWAY WITHOUT SYMPTOMS OF TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THE...

TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSING TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FAILURE. WAS ON MAINROAD AT TIME AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO MECHANICS WHERE UPON LEARNING THIS IS A TYPICAL ISSUE FOR THESE VEHICLES. CANNOT DRIVE VEHICLE AND REPAIRS ARE VERY COSTLY.

MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY STARTED TO HAVE A DELAY IN ACCELERATION WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS PUSHED, AND THEN WOULD CATCH AND LURCH FORWARD. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION INNER COOLER RUPTURED AND HAS RUINED BOTH THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. FURTHER RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT NISSAN HAS FAILED TO ACCURATELY ADVISE OWNERS ABOUT, OR ISSUE A RECALL. THIS IS NEGLIGENT AND WHOLLY UNETHICAL. NEGLIGENT IN THAT THE SYMPTOMS COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS HARM OUT INJURY, AS THERE IS NO WARNING PRIOR TO THE DAMAGE BEING DONE. UNETHICAL IN THAT NOW NISSAN GETS TO PROFIT FROM THEIR NEGLIGENCE, AS IT WILL COST $5,000 TO REMEDY WHAT COULD AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH LESS COSTLY.

CAR OVERHEATED/NO START, HAD SUV TOLLED TO AUTO REPAIR SHOP WAS TOLD BY TECHICIAN WAS TOLD THE FOLLOWING. RADIATOR FAILED CAUSING COOLANT AND TRANS FLUID TO MIX. TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FAILED CAUSING VEHICLE NOT TO START.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE "OVERHEATED" WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE VEHICLE FAILED START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE RADIATOR FAILED AND CAUSED COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID TO MIX. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FAILED. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REBUILT AND A NEW RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,270.

MY PROBLEM IS WITH THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION FLUID CONTAMINATION.. SOME HOSES INSIDE THE RADIATOR THAT CARRIES TRANSMISSION FLUID AND COOLANT CRACKED AND CONTAMINATED BOTH THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO LOCK INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND CONTAMINATED BOTH MY RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION THIS PROBLEM WILL NEED TO BE REPAIRED BEFORE THE VEHICLE CAN BE DRIVEN. IT WILL BE A COSTLY REPAIR THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY NISSAN ON A RECALL ACCORDING TO ALL THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ABOUT.

DEFECTIVE RADIATOR FROM NISSAN, DROPPED FLUID INTO THE TRANSMISSION. AS A RESULT, BOTH THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. IF THE RADIATOR WAS DEFECTED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD STILL BE IN TACT. THIS HAPPENED JUST REACHING THE 100,000 MILE MARK.

TRANSMISSION HAS WENT OUT DUE TO FACTORY DEFAULT THERE'S A RECALL ON THE EXACT ISSUE THAT I'M HAVING WITH MY CAR I NEED TO KNOW IF THERE'S AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OR SOMETHING TO REMEDY THIS BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE

RADIATOR MALFUNCTION CRACKED TRANSMISSION LINES, MIXING ANTIFREEZE INTO THE TRANSMISSION LINES, CONTAMINATED THE TRANSMISSION, THE TRANSMISSION IS RUINED! NEVER INFORMED ABOUT THIS DEFECT IN THE RADIATOR! NEVER NO RECALL!

CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FAILURE DUE TO CO-MINGLING ATF AND COOLANT AT 136,000 MILES. CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, THEY REFUSED TO HELP IN ANY WAY, BUT ACKNOWLEDGED THIS AS A "KNOWN" ISSUE.

THE RADIATOR HAS BROKEN AND LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING A COMPLETE FAILURE IN THE SYSTEM. BOTH MUST NOW BE REPLACED.

THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO OVERDRIVE, SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AAMCO. THE TRANSMISSION WAS CONTAMINATED WITH COOLANT FROM THE RADIATOR, REQUIRING A COMPLETE OVERHAUL INCLUDING THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER. ESTIMATED COST OF DAMAGES IS $4600! MY VEHICLE IS IN EXCESS OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, HOWEVER THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY NISSAN.

THE RADIATOR WAS CRACKED WHERE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IS AND IT MIXED WITH THE ANTIFREEZE WHICH CAUSED BOTH THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION TO HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE ENGINE WAS ON AND VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN WE NOTICED THE TEMPERATURE INCREASED GREATLY AND RAPIDLY UNTIL IT MAXED OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING A MIX OF ANTIFREEZE AND TRANSMISSION FLUID. WE REPLACED THE RADIATOR BUT THE DAMAGE WAS DONE ALREADY TO THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED.

I WAS DRIVING MY NEWLY PURCHASED USED 2006 PATHFINDER AND NOTICED THAT I COULD NOT GET UP TO SPEED UNTIL I GOT UP TO 45 OR 50 MPH NOTICED I HAD SEVERAL ERROR CODES ENDED UP THAT ONE WAS THE TRANSMISSION VALVE ASSY. TOOK IT TO TRANSMISSION SHOP WHICH TESTED THE FLUID AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS RADIATOR COOLANT MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE CAR WAS GREAT EXCEPT FOR THIS ISSUE. NOW IT BARELY DRIVES ONLY IN 4TH GEAR AND I AM TOLD IF I KEEP DRIVING IT THAT WAY IT WILL BURN IT UP. I NEED TO REPLACE BOTH THE VALVE ASSY AND THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM AT A COST OF 5K. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY. THIS IS REALLY UNACCEPTABLE.

WHEN I WAS DRIVEN MY NISSAN I MAKE A STOP AND THEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE BUT MY CAR DIDN'T RESPOND SO I TOOK THE NISSAN TO THE MECHANIC AND HE TALK ME THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD DO I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION .I WAS VERY LUCKY BECAUSE I WAS VERY CLOSE FROM HOME IN CITY STREET OTHER WISE I WOULD HAS TO TOW THE CAR TO THE GARAGE AND PUT MY FAMILY IN DANGER

RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION $4000 CAR 10 YEARS OLD HOWEVER I HAD HIGH MILEAGE DUE TO MANY ROAD TRIPS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE ALHAMBRA NISSAN DEALER IN ALHAMBRA, CA FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, THE CONTACT WAS ALSO ADVISED TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGE. THE TECHNICIAN PERFORMED AN OIL CHANGE ON THE TRANSMISSION AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED EIGHT DAYS LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE ALHAMBRA NISSAN DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SERVICED DUE TO THE REPAIR FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OLD IN AGE AND OUT OF WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT OFFER FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000.

RADIATOR TRANSMISSION COOLER FAILURE, CAUSING TRANSMISSION TO FAIL

A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH RADIATOR BRAKING WITH COOLANT IN TRANSMISSION RESULTING IN NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR 4439.65. NISSAN SHOULD BE BARRED FROM SELLING CARS IN USA WITH SUCH SUBSTANDARD PRODUCTS/

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, PENULTIMATE WEEK. I OBSERVED LOUD ENGINE NOISE, VIGOROUS SHAKING AND JERKING AND A RELUCTANCE IN ACCELERATION WHEN I APPLIED GAS PEDAL​. I WAS A LITTLE BEWILDERED AS I HAVE BEEN VERY PUNCTILIOUS WITH THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE OF MY CAR. I GENTLY PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT TO AVERT ANY DANGER ON THE FREEWAY. UPON EXITING THE CAR, I PERCEIVED A PUNGENT BURNING SMELL. AT THIS POINT, I KNEW IT WOULD BE UNSAFE AND PERNICIOUS TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE THROUGH MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND HAD THE CAR TAKEN TO MY MECHANIC. HE CALLED BACK THE FOLLOWING DAY WITH THE MOST DISHEARTENING NEWS. FOR SOME UNCANNY REASON, FLUID FROM THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING INTO AND CONTAMINATING THE TRANSMISSION. HE VEHEMENTLY POINTED OUT THAT HE HAD SEEN QUITE A FEW OF THE SAME OMINOUS PROBLEMS BROUGHT TO HIS SHOP, INVOLVING MOSTLY...

TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO FAULTY RADIATOR. VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE. HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 10-50 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO OPERATE AS INTENDED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED DUE TO CONTAMINATION OF THE TRANSMISSION FROM THE RADIATOR FLUID ACID. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON I95 IN CONNECTICUT ,10PM AT NIGHT, AT 55MPH , WITH FAMILY IN CAR. COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING A TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND DID NOT CONTACT VEHICLE OWNERS TO WARN OF THE PROBLEM OR OFFER SUGGESTED REPAIR. REPLACING THE RADIATOR WOULD HAVE BEEN A $300.00 FIX. INSTEAD NISSAN OFFERED NO WARNING AND THE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON AN INTERSTATE AT NIGHT HAPPENED. TOTAL COST TO REPAIR WAS $4381, PLUS A WEEK CAR RENTAL.

THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FLUIDS ARE INTERMINGLING AND HAS CAUSED MY TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. IT HAS RUINED THE TRANSMISSION. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THOUSANDS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL.

THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FLUID MIXING AND CAUSING TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. I SEE THAT YOU HAVE HAD MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND YOU CHOOSE NOT TO HELP THE CONSUMERS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A CONTINUING PROBLEM AND AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ISN'T FAIR TO THE CONSUMER BECAUSE THIS IS A FAULTY ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL TRANSMISSION/RADIATOR.

I PAID OFF MY PATHFINDER LAST YEAR. JUST ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO AFTER LEAVING A FRIENDS HOUSE THE TRUCK STARTED TURNING ON ALL THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. I DROVE IT VERY SLOWLY HOME NOT EVEN A MILE AWAY, I TURNED IT OFF AND NEXT DAY..MY SURPRISE IT DIDN'T TURN ON TO TAKE TO THE MECHANIC. I CALLED THE TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT IN TO NISSAN DEALER AND THEY FOUND THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION OIL AND MESSED UP THE MODULE TOO. THEY WHERE ORIGINALLY CHARGING ME 7200 DOLLARS TO FIX. I BROUGHT IT BACK HOME AND AFTER WHEN I WAS ABLE TO PAY WITH CREDIT I TOOK IT IN TO FIX. THEY URGED ME TO FIX ALL AT ONCE BECAUSE OF A MANUFACTURER DEFECT ON ANY OF THE ABOVE..MOST LIKELY THEY SAID IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION FLUIDS MIXED CAUSING MASSIVE RADIATOR BLOW OUT AND REPLACEMENT. . COST OF $2000 THEN AFTER BEING TOLD THE TRANSMISSION SURVIDE AND LIMITED DRIVING NOW A FEW THOUSAND MILES LATER AND ABOUT A YEAR LATER NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS SHOT NO REVERSE AND ONLY ONE FORWARD GEAR!

THIS SUB HAS A PROBLEM WHEN SPEED AFTER 35 MPH. THE ENGINE HAS TO GO HIGH REVOLUTION 4500 OR 5000 RPM WICH IS NOT NORMAL. TO KEEP AT 50MPH .THE TRAMISION DOESN'T GEAR PROPERLY. I TOOK TO NISSAN DEALER THEY SAID IS THE TRAMISION HAS WATER FRON THE RADIATOR. THE COOLANT MAJESTIC THE TRAMISION FAIL. IT COST OVER 5000.00 FOR RAPAIR .IT NEED NEW RADIATOR.

I'M A OWNER OF A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THIS VEHICLE HAS MAJOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES. VEHICLE SHUTTERS AND JERKS WHILE DRIVING 20 TO 30 MPH!!

RADIATOR COOLANT LEAK INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSED COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING ON A 6 LANE HIGHWAY. ABILITY TO ACCELERATE OR MAINTAIN SPEED CEASED WHEN PRESSING GAS PEDAL. COASTED ON SLIGHT DOWNWARD HILL FOR 1/4 OF A MILE OR A LITTLE MORE ALLOWING TIME TO TURN ONTO A SIDE STREET WHERE VEHICLE STOPPED COMPLETELY.

DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION COOLANT SYSTEM CAUSED TRANSMISSION TO "SLIP" MAKING IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

IN 2012, SOON AFTER WE PURCHASED OUR USED 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER, WE KNEW IT WAS A MISTAKE. NOT ONLY DID THE FUEL INDICATOR NOT WORK (NOTICED THE DAY WE DROVE IT OFF THE LOT) THE SUV JUST DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN 100 DEGREE WEATHER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS BECAUSE THE FUEL INDICATOR SAYS I HAVE FUEL, BUT THE LIGHT WOULD IMMEDIATELY COME ON, AND THE CAR WOULD CUT OFF & LOCK UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT! FAST FORWARD TO LAST YEAR, 2015, WE STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WHEN SHIFTING INTO AND OUT OF PARK/DRIVE/REVERSE. THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND SOMETIMES WOULDN'T EVEN CHANGE GEARS, JUST KEEP REVVING UP THE ENGINE AND NOT GOING ANYWHERE. IT HAS LEFT MY CHILDREN AND ME STRANDED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SINCE THEN. FINALLY, ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, THE PATHFINDER DECIDED TO NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK AT ALL AFTER CRANKED....

VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE BADLY WHILE DRIVING AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. WHEN TAKEN TO A MECHANIC TO FIX ISSUE, WE FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD TURNED PINK. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT AT FLUID AND COOLANT HAD MIXED TOGETHER. WE HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR REPLACED.

WHEN I HAD ABOUT 87,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, IT STARTED VIBRATING WHEN I REACHED ABOUT 40 MILES AN HOUR. FROM THERE, THE HEAT WOULDN'T WORK WHEN I WOULD STOP AT INTERSECTIONS OR LETTING THE CAR IDLE. I THEN HAD MY COOLANT LEVELS CHECKED, AND DISCOVERED MY COOLANT WAS MIXED WITH RADIATOR FLUID. I HAD THE RADIATOR REPLACED, AND THE VEHICLE DRIVES, BUT ONLY UP TO ABOUT 40 MPH. TRYING TO ACCELERATE BEYOND 40 MPH AND THE ENGINE REVS HIGH. TURNS OUT MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AS A RESULT OF THE ENGINE COOLANT GETTING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE ONLY WAY TO CONTINUE TO USE MY VEHICLE IS TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT/REMANUFACTURED AT A TUNE OF $5,000. WELL, I'VE ALREADY PAID ~$40,000 FOR THE VEHICLE, ALONE (EXCLUDING OTHER REPAIR ITEMS SINCE I'VE OWNED IT). THE FACT THAT I NEED TO REPLACE A MAJOR POWER TRAIN COMPONENT TO USE SUCH AN...

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER WITH 91,450 MILES. I NOTICE A SLIGHT SLIP IN THE TRANSMISSION ON THE WAY TO WORK. I WORK AT A AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THEY TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND FOUND NOTHING. APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS LATER, IT REALLY STARTED TO SLIP TO THE POINT I HAD TO PULL OVER, BECAUSE IT WAS NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY. WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT IN TO THE SHOP AGAIN IT DID NOTHING. I CALLED THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER IN STROUDSBURG PA AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A "SILENT RECALL" AND TO CHECK THE FLUID IF IT WAS A MILKY COLOR, PRETTY MUCH I WAS GOING TO BE WITHOUT A CAR. I ALWAYS TOOK CARE OF MY CAR AND FOR THIS TO HAPPEN WAS A REAL BLOW. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME PRETTY MUCH THE REPAIR EXCEEDS THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE. I DID CHECK THE VALUE OF MY CAR...

HAD TO HAVE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED DUE TO IT BREAKING AND CAUSING HARD STEERING AND NO CONTROL OF WHEELS. BARELY MADE IT HOME. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE FLUSHED AND BY PASSED DUE TO COOLER GETTING WATER IN TRANSMISSION. BOTH OF THESE ARE SAFETY ITEMS AND NISSAN DEALER SAYS NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS. COST ME $3400 IN REPAIRS WHICH HAD TO BE DONE DUE TO SAFETY REASONS. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION EACH TIME ON FREEWAY AND HAD TO STOP AND GET IT TOWED TO MECHANIC BECAUSE IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ANYWHERE.
