| Description of the problem | 2005 nissan pathfinder when attempting to accelerate from a stop, the vehicle does not gain speed as it would normally. At higher speeds it seems to perform normally. When shifting into drive, there is a noticeable jump/bump. I took it to a transmission shop and the mechanic said that the radiator is leaking into the transmission. He said the transmission is very rusty. Apparently this is a common problem for these vehicles. At this point he is estimating between $2,500 and $3,000 to repair. Vehicle has about 108,000 miles. I would love any information on how to be reimbursed from nissan. |
