Description of the problem	While returning from lunch break, i pressed the accelerator on my 2006 nissan pathfinder. The vehicle hesitated and did not accelerate. It sounded as if it was idling but there was very little to no movement. This happened in the middle of the highway. After having the trucked towed and the problem assessed, i was told that the transmission and the radiator had to be replaced. This comes with a hefty price tag. In the mechanics explanation of the problems he asserted "you have heard about these pathfinders, haven't you". Well, i researched and found that the failed transmission and radiator is not a new occurrence. This has been and is happening regularly and there is no recall. This puts consumers in a bad position, especially when, like me, the warranty is expired. I am still waiting for a transmission to be shipped from california. By the way, i found out that it is on backorder. That's just how frequently this problem occurs. Make sure you purchase extended warranties and/or trade it before this happens to you. Or even worse someone is seriously hurt physically not just financially.
