| Description of the problem | The transmission fluid cooler in the radiator has busted causing radiator coolant to get inside the transmission. When the coolant mixed with the transmission fluid it has caused catastrophic damage to the inside of the transmission (gears, etc.) a couple of weeks ago i noticed the transmission starting to shift more and more abruptly. I drove to work and at the end of my shift, my truck would not start. I discovered the reason for it not starting was due to the automatic transmission fuse was blown. I replaced the fuse, started the truck and the fuse blew again. I took it to a mechanic and he discovered the issue with the radiator and transmission. This is a recurring issue with 2005 -2010 pathfinder, frontier and xterra owners. What can be done to hold nissan accountable for a faulty product that they are obviously aware of but will not correct. This is going to cost me $3500 - $4500 to repair |
