Description of the problem	My 2005 nissan pathfinder began to shutter then jerk back into normal driving as it reached speeds of 60-70 mph. It was very sporadic in the beginning, but started to happen more frequently and at lower speeds for a longer period of time. I brought the truck into nissan with 70,000 miles, at which time i was told that the radiator leaked into the transmission causing the need for both to be replaced at the cost of $6700. 00. I did alot of research and discovered that hundreds and hundreds of people with the 2005 nissan pathfinder with approximately the same mileage (just after warranty expires) are experiencing the same issues. It seems as though a faulty radiator system was installed into these vehicles. They kept my truck for 12 days while trying to decide if they would offer assistance with fixing my 5 year old vehicle. The end result being, that they would pay to replace the transmission and i would pay to replace the radiator as well as the labor costs. I was told that this did not occur as a result of anything i did wrong. I asked why a recall isn't being done, at which time i was told that the number of injuries or deaths was a major factor in that determination. Although i was not injured, this is a huge financial burden to take on for a vehicle that is only 5 years old. Nissan needs to take responsibility and stand behind the parts they put in their vehicles!!
