| Description of the problem | I bought my 2005 nissan pathfinder new from the dealer. At about 70,000 miles i started having transmission problems and was told that nissan had a severe problem with the radiator leaking into the transmission and ruining it. I had to replace the transmission and the radiator at a cost of about $3,000. I believe that nissan should have had a recall since this problem is so widely documented. I have also had to have the power module, the thermostat , the sunvisor, and the hydraulic lifts for the back hatch all replaced with the car still under 80,000 miles. Needless to say, i won't be looking for a nissan product when i shop for my next car. |
