Description of the problem	On 9/5/2008 i took my pathfinder to giles nissan in lafayette, la because i experienced several occasions where the vehicle would accelerate by itself. There were also occasions where the vehicle would not accelerate at all when the gas petal was pushed, essentially the engine would "rev" up but the car wouldn't move. Giles nissan kept the vehicle for six days and i was told they could not find anything wrong with it. At the time, mileage was at 51,425, which would have still been covered under the 60,000 mile warranty. Nissan was aware of the radiator coolant leaking into the transmission problem at this point, and if it would have been fixed when i first noticed the problem all of this could have been resolved right then. However, it was not and several months later, in april of 2009, the problems continued, and i no longer felt it was safe to drive the vehicle, as it would stop accelerating altogether, sometimes while driving on the interstate. I took the car to leblanc nissan in baton rouge, where they informed me i would need to replace the transmission & radiator, and by this time i was over the 60,000/5 year warranty. The estimate was approximately $7,000, and we were told by the service manager that nissan would not be paying for any of the repairs. There was no way i could afford to pay this much money, so i took my pathfinder to an independent mechanic specializing in transmission work. He suggested that he could rebuild the transmission and flush the radiator although he warned i may still have problems in the future (which was true). The mechanic also advised that i would need to get a complete radiator flush two or three months later to make sure there was no more leakage. Since then, i have had transmission work done two more times, and to this day the transmission continues to sip. Nissan refuses to reimburse any money whatsoever.
