| Description of the problem | While driving on a local street in my neighborhood at 35 mph on my way to pick up my son from school, the pathfinder began to lose power. I press on the gas and the pathfinder would not go any faster, it was hesitating and seemed like it was going to stop. I made to the mechanic and was told the radiator had leaked into the transmission. The mechanic then advised the radiator and transmission would have to be replaced at a cost of $5828. I am upset and completely in shock when he tells nissan has an extended warranty however it only covers you up to 100,000 miles. Nissan is aware of this issue and if it happened at 100,000 i would have brought it in for servicing. I paid over 30,000 for the pathfinder brand new and after eight years this is what i am left with, no recourse? |
