| Description of the problem | While traveling down the highway at approximately 40 miles per hour i felt like i was riding over rumble strips in the road. The road was smooth, so that was not the problem. I later found out that i had a transmission problem. Upon further investigation, i found that the radiator coolant fluid leaked into the transmission and destroyed both the transmission and radiator. Upon further investigation i found that this is a problem experienced by many other nissan pathfinder owners (years 2005 - 2010). This is definitely a manufacturing defect not recognized by nissan. |
