| Description of the problem | 2005 nissan pathfinder. Took off out of parking garage, car lost power (wouldn't accelerate) and the service engine soon light came on. Took car to independent shop who advised that the computer code they were receiving from the car was a manufacturer code and i would have to take it to the dealer. Took car to dealer and was told that radiator had failed and caused the coolant and transmission fluids to mix, resulting in damage to the transmission. Recommended repair was replacement of radiator and transmission with an estimate of $5,200. I bought car at 48,000 miles from the dealership as a nissan-certified pre-owned vehicle. I've had multiple problems including replacing the fuel sending unit as well as a catalytic converter. The car had 115,000 miles at the time of the incident and i contacted nissan to request assistance with the cost of the repairs but was denied any help. *js |
