| Description of the problem | Since april 2011 my 2005 nissan pathfinder started to rattling and vibration under the vehicle. After having it checked by a mechanic in may 2011 he stated that the transmission and coolant is missing together. The fluid was changed on june 26, 2011, that came out looking like chocolate milk and it is still vibrating at 45 and 64 miles per hour. I under stand that this is a manufacturer problem for the way it was designed and should be fixed by the car dealers and not the consumer. The solenoid in the transmission jumps offline and once the vehicle is turned off and back on it resets and the vibration continue as you drive. The changing of the transmission fluid did not help the problem. *kb |
