2006 Nissan PATHFINDER Engine And Engine Cooling Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I had transmission problems, the transmission started vibrating and then would not move, i took to local transmission shop, they advised there was a problem in the radiator causing damage to transmission, i took to nissan dealer they advised that nissan had extended the warranty to 80,000 miles due to the radiator, however nissan had not sent any information regarding a problem are extending the warranty. If i had known there was a problem with radiator, i would have had it checked prior to the 80,000 miles. Then nissan sends letter that they are extending warranty to 100,000 miles with a 3,000 dollar deductible. If i had received a letter earlier from nissan about the problem, i would have taken the nissan to a dealer prior to the 80,000 miles. At times the transmission would stall out when making a turn, which could have caused a serious accident; fortunately there were no on coming traffic. The car also has a fuel gauge which gives a false reading at all times to the actual amount of fuel in the tank due to a faulty sending unit. So now i am stuck with a bill for 3,000 dollars. I feel nissan was negligent in not advising their customers of the problem earlier. The dealer then called me and told me that the timing chain was worn and needed to be replaced at a cost of 2,000 dollars. My nissan has less than 100,000 miles and the radiator, transmission and timing chain are faulty, and nissan should cover these charges.
