| Description of the problem | Just over a year ago our 2005 pathfinder's transmission failed due to nissan installing a faulty radiator in the vehicle when it was made. Due to the expense of getting it fixed, it still sets in the garage waiting to save up the money to fix the issue. Over the year, nissan has admitted it was a problem but instead of fixing it, they say they will cover it if the vehicle has low millage. The radiator problem is not millage dependant. We drove our pathfinder and it was beyond the millage they would cover. So i guess i am being penalized by nissan for driving the pathfinder. I just wish nissan would do the right thing for its customers. |
