2006 Nissan PATHFINDER Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1090167
Internal NHTSA #	10615374
Manufacurer	Nissan North America, Inc.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	PATHFINDER
Model Year	2006
File date	02/06/14
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	110,000-115,000 miles -> was driving down a two lane hwy in the evening (busy time with work traffic) - i am glad i was driving the car and not my wife, as she typically has our child in the car with her at all times - it could have caused a major incident due to the nature of the hwy being traveled. Next, there was a brief incline and it took a bit more power to get up and then the awful noise happened. Was so disturbed by the noise/shutter that i pulled over to see if i had lost a tire. After inspection, there was nothing wrong that i could see. I continued to drive home and felt it a few more times over the course of the next 15-20 min. Honestly, i was praying that nothing would happen until i could make it home - that noise was alarming. Upon arrival home, i looked up what could be wrong, then that is when i found everything online about pathfinders. We do not have the money to fix this problem and have had to wait for several weeks to save the money just to get the transmission rebuild process started. I cannot believe a company that is as highly respected in the industry as nissan is not stepping to the plate to make this right. It is an obvious defect for 3 different model cars. The "deductible" that they are offering does not come close to the cost of the total fix for the issue(s) at stake - especially if you go through nissan dealership for repairs - not even guaranteed to be completely fixed since it is a defect - just replacing the problem it already has and will continue to have. Love my pathfinder but will look at every opportunity to never buy a nissan or infinity product, ever, again. Safety is my biggest priority when buying a car - this car fit the mold when i bought it in 2008/2009 and never again, but not anymore. Loss of complete power/operation in a vehicle at 55 mph is not safe. Btw, i'm ocd about servicing my car(s) - all records to show.
