| Description of the problem | 2005 nissan pathfinder is currently being repaired for transmission problems due to radiator leaking in the transmission. I have had trouble gaining speed atleast 6 times due to hesitation and sometimes wouldn't shift out of 2nd gear and wouldn't go no more than 25mph. I have taken the highway and it would do fine until i got off an exit and it would stall at 25mph. I have taking it to get it fixed but the transmission for my vehicle is on back order due to other thousands like me having this problem. This is a safety issue and this matter should be resolved by nissan but no recall has not taken place as i know of. It put many drivers and their families at risk on an accident and to others sharing the highway and roads. Please help me and many others find a way to either get reimbursement for our repairs. This transmission issue is a defect and is dangerous! So far my cost of repairs is a total $4,424. 32. My truck is a 2005 and the transmission shouldn't have failed me so early. I don't do hard driving and never towed or pulled anything heavy. Please help me and my family. Thanks and god bless! |
