2005 Nissan PATHFINDER Engine Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	933614
Internal NHTSA #	10469047
Manufacurer	NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	PATHFINDER
Model Year	2005
File date	01/10/11
Component	ENGINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I noticed a consistent vibration when the automatic transmission shifted around 40 mph. An initial flush of the fluid temporarily corrected the problem, but it reappeared several months later and progressively worsened. The transmission is now erratic at almost every shifting juncture and is pronounced at high speeds. An inspection at a nissan service center confirmed that the problem is due to radiator fluid leaking into the transmission. This is a well documented nissan design flaw that nissan will not take responsibility for. The vehicle is to the point where it is unsafe to drive, especially at highway speeds.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
