Description of the problem	I have a 2006 nissan pathfinder. I purchased it brand new at the end of 2005 and have been the only owner. Sounds like i have the same exact problem most of the people listed here have. Last week when taking in my car for its routine service i was told that both my radiator and transmission are out... They are done and i need to replace them. It is costing me approx. 5800 and i have been shocked and surprised because i had no previous obvious sign that this was going on. Not even strange sounds, signs of getting over-heated or even having the sensor light go on. I mean, if the sensor light goes on for something as simple as low air pressure in my tires, i would only assume that for something as serious as my transmission, it would light on, too. Apparently fluid from the radiator got into the transmission, that has damaged it all and needs to be replaced. My vehicle warranty expired at 75,000 miles... Only 8,000 miles ago, but nothing can be done now and i have to pay. It seems to me that this is a general problem to many nissan pathfinders, mostly years 2005/2006. I have always taken my vehicle for service at the same dealership where i purchased it, and now this. Worse thing of it all, it seems to me that these service departments deal frequently with this issue and have done nothing about contacting nissan's hq dept. Because it sounds like a manufactures malfunction. I cannot believe how frequent my same situation has occurred to other nissan consumers and i strongly feel like something needs to be done. I live in los angeles county, california, and if anyone is interested in furthering some sort of investigation or legal action, please contact me.
