Description of the problem	I took my 2005 nissan pathfinder into the shop because it was having trouble shifting gears at highway speeds. I later learned the bad news that the hoses in the radiator have failed causing coolant to cross contaminate and mix with transmission fluid producing a toxic sludge that ruins the radiator as well as the transmission. I was told that $4,000 later i would need a new radiator, new transmission and new hoses. The service technician also told me that this problem is very common in 05-06 pathfinders. After going home a quick google search revealed that tens of thousands of cars have actually dealth with this problem and there was a lawsuit brought against nissan for these problems. Unfortunately i never knew of such a lawsuit and now that i have the very problem it's too late to do anything about it. That type of service by companies for selling faulty products to their consumers is really too sad.
