Description of the problem	I have a 2005 nissan pathfinder le 4x4. I purchased the car new. During the life of the car i often noticed the car downshifting for no apparent reason but it would go away and i forgot about it. About 6 months ago and about 113000 miles it got worse and started making noises and often it sounded like i had a flat tire. My mechanic inspected the car and thought it might be the transmission so he referred me to a transmission specialist who informed me after an inspection that water was in the trans and the transmission was shot. He said this was due to a faulty part or something that allowed water to get into the transmission from the radiator and that there might be trans fluid in the radiator or worse, in the engine. He seemed to think that if left this way the trans could seize up causing a great amount of damage to the engine and possibly the car going out of control due to this potential seizing up condition. Fortunately, there was no trans fluid in the radiator. I had it flushed and everything seems to be okay. Checking on line i have noticed numerous complaints for this year, make and model of nissan regarding this exact issue. Almost $4000 later hopefully my problem has been solved. Nissan needs to step up and make restitution. *tt
