Description of the problem	We have been having problems with our vehicle "shaking" at 40 mph and again at 60 mph. We have had it into the shop to be looked at but after replacing u-joints, some other items and putting new tires on our vehicle it didn't get better. My wife was driving our pathfinder home one night with our daughters in the vehicle and noticed that the vehicle was sputtering. She thought that possibly she was running out of gas although it was showing a 1/4 tank but we had been noticing that the gas gauge would fluctuate when we would fill the vehicle up (something that we noticed other nissan owners have mentioned as well). She stopped at the gas station and noticed that the vehicle was overheating. We had it towed to a nissan dealership where they told us that the radiator leaked into the transmission and we were going to need a new radiator and new transmission. We are over our miles and our warranty has run out. We have contacted nissan but were told that they are not obligated to fix anything or pay for anything since we drove our vehicle outside of our warranty and have put too many miles on our vehicle. We have been reading that this is a problem with the 2005 and we are thinking that this is going to be the same case for the 2006 and 2007 once the miles get to about 60,000. We have heard that nissan has put out a bulletin on this problem and are aware of it but as the regional manager told us, they are not obligated to fix or pay for anything outside of the warranty. They know this is an issue and still they are not doing anything to make good on a product that has a manufacturer's defect. I'm sure that they are not interested in hearing this and have probably heard it before, but we will not buy another nissan product and will make sure that we let as many people as we can know that nissan does not stand behind their product.
