| Description of the problem | I own a 2005 nissan pathfinder. The engine coolant contaminated the transmission fluid because an internal piece broke. The only reason i noticed any issue is the reverse gear began to have trouble engaging. After visiting two mechanics, i had to replace the entire radiator/coolant system and put in a new transmission. Although nissan has acknowledged this is a common issue, they refused to do anything to help with the situation. Ultimately, this repair cost me upwards of $6000. 00 to repair. |
