| Description of the problem | the transmission in my 2005 nissan pathfinder has failed. My son was in a very dangerous situation on a busy street and this problem jeopardized his life. The vehicle basically stopped in the middle of a turn onto a busy street. The defective transmission/radiator breakdown is a serious situation and a known issue with these vehicles. My radiator fluid leaked into the transmission and failed. The amount to repair this vehicle and make this a safe vehicle is more than we can afford.... Approximately $5300 because the fuel sending unit also failed!! I feel this faulty product should be recalled and necessary repairs made or a reimbursement made by nissan. |
