Description of the problem	Our 2006 pathfinder's radiator went out, something just popped and fluids just started leaking out, in july of 2012 at under 90,000 miles. I was told fluids mixed and could have possibly caused transmission problems. Got the radiator replaced and was told if the transmission starts acting up, it would need replaced. Later i got the notice of the extended warranty. Since i spent less than the co-pay, there was nothing i could do. Now, my radiator needs replacing again, along with my transmission, but i'm just over the 100,000 miles of the extended warranty, as of may 2013. I went through nissan consumer affairs, got to the executive level, and was told there was nothing they could do for me since i was outside the warranty. If i would have known i was going to need my transmission replaced i would have had it done when the radiator went out the first time, now after it was "fixed" at a nissan dealership, it fails again and this time it requires a new transmission. There is obviously a problem with the radiators they are installing, i'll be on my 3rd one now, and it's causing damage to the transmissions. If my first problem didn't happen till after the 100,00 extended warranty it would be a different story, but i already had 1 radiator fail, and nissan said they fixed it. I see the extended warranty coverage came after a class action law suit, i hope something can be done before someone gets hurt from the radiator failing while driving. Please do something about this.
