| Description of the problem | My pathfinder locked in 4wd while switch was still in 2wd and would not start back after towing to dealership i find out it is the radiator leaking into the transmission and both will have to be replaced at $4900. 00. If my wife would of been on a road with more traffic it would of been bad for her and my two year old. We have only owned the car for a year and nothing but problems out of it and our altima. We have always been nissan owners but will never buy again this is evidently a really common problem and nissan's customer appreciation is awful. |
