| Description of the problem | Catastrophic failure while on the road occured and car began to shake, causing other drivers to sway off the road to avoid collision. Car driveable after, but deteriorating due to coolant leaking into transmission case. This is a well-known problem throughout the nissan organization, but remains unaddressed sufficiently. This places a major cost on 2006 nissan pathfinder owners and action needs to be taken so this negligence cannot persist. I am willing to pay for some of the damage caused by this and for some of the replacement cost, but nissan motor corporation should fulfill its obligation per the class action lawsuit in 2012. |
