| Description of the problem | While driving approximately 60-65 mph on the highway during a family trip, the car began to shudder. The shudder returned several times over the next few hours, but we made it safely to our destination. Had to bring into the shop where i learned the defective radiator on 06' pathfinder causes it to mix transmission fluid with coolant. This caused damage throughout the transmission resulting in a hefty bill ($4774). I learned there was a class action suite against nissan for this problem, but it closed last year. Hoping to find information on perhaps another settlement. |
