| Description of the problem | i have heard that several people are having problems with their transmission fluid getting radiator fluid in it. The classic signs and symptoms that have started with my 2006 nissan pathfinder are: 1. Horrendous shuddering when pressing on the gas to increase my speed, 2. Occasional banging when my automatic car shifts into gear, 3. Delay in speed when i attempt to pass. Since all of this had started right after 100,000 miles a new transmission is not covered. I am a single mom who is a hospice nurse, i drive all day, having a reliable car puts food on the table for my kids. I don't have $3,000 to fix this problem. I could cry, i don't know what i am going to do. Right now i just keep driving it knowing it is going to break down any day. I was informed by so many people that nissan was a great company and manufactured a great vehicle when i decided to by this pathfinder. I am soooo disappointed!!! I will never buy another nissan vehicle, i'm sorry, for the amount that i originally paid for this vehicle, it should not start falling apart at 108,000 miles. |
