| Description of the problem | On 08/15/14, i was pumping gas and as i was leaving i noticed that the pathfinder's transmission would hesitate and shift hard. As i drove home, i noticed that it did the same thing after every stop. It wouldn't run as it usually did. Then i noticed that the "service engine soon" light came on. My boyfriend then went to aamco transmission total car care but was told to go at 9:30 a. M. The following day. We took it the next day, which was 08/16/14 and we received a diagnostic. The multi-point check revealed that the transmission fluid level was okay and the condition was contaminated. There is coolant contamination in the transmission. A computer scan revealed the following codes: p1710 trans oil temp, p1764 direct clutch solenoid valve circuit fault, p1731 first gear engine breaking logic error. The manager then told me that the 2005-2007 nissan pathfinders had this defect. When my mother called nissan at the 1-800 number, she was told they couldn't do anything about this problem. The pathfinder is paid off, as of this year, only to have it sit in the garage until i get it fixed. This is ridiculous! Needless to say, we were never informed of any of the 5 recalls. |
