| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2006 nissan pathfinder from a dealer less than 1 year ago. At the time of purchase i noticed a slight jump in shifting. I brought this to my sales mans attention and he assured me that this was common in "trucks". Considering i never owned a truck i took this information as factual and purchased the vehicle. My vehicle now not even 1 year later is shifting worse and shaking at about 45 mph. We took our vehicle for another option at a local mechanic and he notified us of a class action suit against nissan for the same issues we are experiencing. It was told to us that our coolant via the radiator is leaking into our transmission causing our transmission and radiator to be swapped. We do not have the money for this. We were told by nissan consumer affairs that because our vehicles mileage was now over 90k that our co-pay for the repair would be $3000. This is unacceptable considering we just purchased this vehicle. We need your help to push for a recall as it appears there are thousands of cases online of the same exact issues happening in the same model & year. Please advise. Please help. Thank you kindly |
