Description of the problem	Transmission failure due to radiator coolant mixing with transmission oil: reading other similar complaints about 2005-2010 pathfinder on carcompalints. Com, i am wondering if there is a $90 solution to bypass the original setup and have a separate radiator for transmission, why couldn't nissan do it or atleast inform all owners about it so we could have avoided spending 4-5k on repairing something that is manufacturing design defect. I am in no way claiming to be a mechanic, but i am assuming other vehicles also have a similar setup, even other nissan models. How come this is the problem only for pathfinders? This is a design flaw and there should have been a recall instead of a class action lawsuit, but i guess our government is too busy looking out for special interest lobbyists. I am disgusted in nissan's conduct and also the conduct of nhtsa & cas who did not do anything when there was class-action lawsuit to prove these were not isolated issue with a few vehicles, but a design flaw. As is evident from multiple complaints on www. Carcomplaints. Com, this problem mostly occurs around 95k+ mile mark and by that time the extended warranty offered by nissan as part of their class action lawsuit is over. The settlement is an admission of fault on nissan's part and nhtsa/cas should force nissan to issue a recall or have them pay for the full repair of all affected vehicles and have them provide a remedy such as separate cooling system for transmission for vehicles which have not experienced this problem yet.
