| Description of the problem | I own a 2006 nissan pathfinder, first my fuel sensor failed, and now at approx 92,000 miles my vehicle has this horrible vibration at 45mph and 60 mph. After thinking it was my tires off balance and having them serviced and an alignment done, i decided to do some research online and called my nissan service dept. To my surprise this is a very common problem with this vehicle and it is a problem with the transmission and radiator fluids mixing, causing the tranny to fail. If this is not a major safety concern i am not sure what is. Please review, it will cost the consumer approx $8,000 to fix and not to mention the inconvenience. If this were an isolated incident i would not complain, but there are a massive amount of complaints. I even contacted nissan corp. And after 3 weeks i am still waiting on a return call. I do highway driving and have 3 children in my vehicle daily. This is a major concern. |
