Description of the problem	Nissan manufactured the 2005 nissan pathfinder with a faulty radiator that leaks radiator fluid into the transmission causing the irreparable damage to the transmission. The car experiences vibration (which has loosened bolts & other parts on the undercarriage) along with shifting problems & hesitation when accelerating. Nissan extended the warranty to 8 years, 80,000 miles but the problem usual occurs at high mileage. My car has 104,000 miles & they will not cover the cost of replacing the radiator (or transmission). I only received a letter from nissan a few months ago stating there may be a radiator leakage problem but did not advise of the problem with leaking into the transmission nor did it state symptoms to watch for. I have been experiencing symptoms but did not know it was related to this issue until i went online and found several complaints by other pathfinder owners. I bought my car to the dealer and they advised that it was a different issue and then an hour later they advised it was the radiator issue. Since i am over the 80,000 miles, they will not pay for replacement. I have contacted the corporate office and was told i would hear from them in approximately 24-36 hours but that was 5 days ago.
