Description of the problem	The vehicle started to lose power and come back on while traveling with 6 passengers on the 101 fwy in north los angeles county. Then it's gauge showed it running hot (no smoke or loss of power) and a check engine light was on. Then the gauge said it wasn't running hot and no power loss. I continued down the freeway and made it home with no more problems. I studied and research this problem for hours on the web. I brought the car to the dealer service department the next day. My research turned up valid. This 2006 nissan pathfinder se vehicle should have been recalled by the manufacturer. Nissan knew about this problem. Instead nissan extended a warranty to 100k and passed these flaws on to the consumer. Shame on nissan! The problem is what is described as a fluid intermix. This is because the transmission fluid has cooling coils that run through the radiator. For a year or two nissan had produced defective product and was not forced to recall. Now me the consumer is stuck with a six to nine thousand dollar repair bill on my vehicle with 110k miles on it. Recall these vehicles please nissan. Whistle blowers just ask the service people about this particular no nissan did. This is consumer abuse by corporate tough guys.
