| Description of the problem | My 2005 nissan pathfinder has 58,000 and shakes violently once i reach 40 mph and over especially on the highway. I took it to my local nissan dealer and it was diagnosed with the radiator leaking into the transmission making it shake very violently. The estimated cost to repair this huge problem is anywhere from $3500-$4500. I called nissan headquarters only to hear that my warranty already expired and that they can't do anything about this problem. This is a serious safety and mechanical problem that should be recalled since they have terrible engineering and could possibly cause an major accident and someone's life. |
