2005 Nissan PATHFINDER Power Train Automatic Transmission Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	826300
Internal NHTSA #	10364091
Manufacurer	NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	PATHFINDER
Model Year	2005
File date	03/08/10
Component	POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The transmission failed at 52,800 miles. No "slamming" of gears or shuddering or difficulty in shifting that would indicate an issue. Transmission serviced at 40,000 miles and oil change/fluid check and state inspection passed 8 weeks prior to failure. When shifted into reverse, gear would not engage for several seconds. Because acceleration/gas had been given, when the gear did engage, the engine would rev and reverse at approximately 20 mph causing near accidents with other vehicles and pedestrians in vicinity. Brought to nissan dealer and was informed transmission fluid was burned. I requested the radiator be examined and although the dealer said they did it does not show on my service receipt. Dealer stated it was a faulty transmission only, no radiator involvement. I was 3 months outside of the drivetrain warranty. After 7 days of negotiation, nissan decided to pay for part of the rebuilt transmission and labor. Over $2000 out of pocket for trans and rental car. All service performed at regular intervals, all service records kept. All services were performed at dealer the vehicle was purchased from. Safety recalls should not be business decisions based on saving large companies the millions they are cheating their customers out of on unusual repairs above and beyond normal maintenance. They should be based on saving lives and preventing accidents. I nearly hit a pedestrian due to this sudden transmission failure.
