Description of the problem	2006 nissan pathfinder was taken today for a routine yearly inspection. Only issue i have had with it is the heater periodically doesn't work correctly. At the nissan dealer, i have been told the vehicle is in need of an entire transmission and radiator replacement due to the fact that a "cooling line is broken and all antifreeze mixed in with the transmission fluid". Estimated cost is $7000. In addition, the catalytic converter needs replaced. The repairman indicated "many" pathfinders have this problem. After searching on-line, there are multiple people angry that their pathfinders are having the exact same issue, yet nissan is still not assuming any responsibility for any of this. I also filed a complaint with nissan customer service. This is quite disconcerting, as the vehicle is only 4 years old, and i am now being told i shouldn't even be driving it. They are offering to help only by giving us a great deal on a trade. However, i no longer trust nissan, and would not trade for another nissan. I am asking nissan for some explanation, and some financial assistance on this issue, but i have not had a reply. The dealer only offers a "great" trade-in value - the manufacturer hasn't replied yet (assuming they will reply at all". Thank you for your time on this matter and anything you can do to assist.
