Description of the problem	I purchased my 2006 nissan pathfinder in 2013 with 109k miles on it. I loved it for 1yr and a half. 2 months ago it started shifting rough, i took it to a local place to be looked at. I was told that nissan pathfinders have a faulty radiator that leaks internally into the transmission causing complete transmission failure! Would cost $3600 to fix. I called suntrup and was told by the service department that they had never heard of this before and to bring it in, which i did and $100 later they told me the same thing i already knew from the other place for free. They again said they had never heard of this happening before but they could fix it for $6800! I began searching (not too difficult since it is all over the internet!) i called around trying to find a more affordable transmission place and every single place i called knew about the nissans faulty radiators!! This is a prevalent problem for the years 2005, 2006 and 2007 pathfinder, xterra and and frontier! Nissan refuses to do a recall stating it isn't a safety issue but there was a class action suit closing in 2013 (year i bought my car) and would fix the transmissions up to 100k (i bought mine at 109k. The national transportation safety board is looking into this issue. I did contact suntrup and talked to the sales manager who said to come in and they would "try and help me". Their solution is to roll the $4,000 i am upside down into a brand new car causing my payments to go up exponentially! (also as a single mom of 3 kids in car seats a car isn't helpful, neither is super high payments). You can not tell me that they didn't know about this nissan transmission issue being a nissan dealer! They didn't know about the class action suit, the year i bought the car?!?! Perhaps there isn't anything that can be done in my case but i do not think it is ethical to continue selling these models and years!!
