Description of the problem	While driving the "service engine soon" light came on the car stopped shifting up or down. The nearest diagnostic center obviously pointed to the transmission and they said to take the car back to the dealer. I did this on 29 february 2012. Their analysis was that the transmission fluid and coolant had intermixed due to a leak in the system and the transmission and radiator system had to be replaced, their estimate is $5000. They are awaiting delivery of a rebuilt transmission. I have contacted nissan and been given a file number, 7392063, with no further follow up as of today, 4 march 2012. Approximately 1. 5 years ago, my son had the same issue with an identical pathfinder. He drives more than i do and reached the 90000 mileage sooner. He replaced his transmission for a similar cost. Based on similar complaints i have been researching, nissan is aware of this design flaw but has not satisfactorily addressed it. In virtually every complaint i have examined, the transmission failure due to this leakage occurs after 90000 miles.
