| Description of the problem | At around 56,600 miles noticed car shaking vigourously when driving over 50 mph. This mileage typically occurring on highway and steering wheel shakes and vibrates and car gears feels like it keeps slipping until you slow down below 40mph. I bought my car brand new, 2005 nissan pathfinder se and have seen several complaints about a defective radiator in these vehicles which cracks and causes fluids to leak into transmission and destroy it. Although my transmission is still covered under the 5yr/60,000 mi warranty, they will not address the problem because the radiator hasn't been recalled as yet. |
