| Description of the problem | Brought my vehicle into the local nissan dealership in 2013 for a basic service and oil change. The complaints about the radiator/transmission cooling system were well established. There was no documented information in the service visit file on my 2006 pathfinder to show that an inspection for this known defect was done. This brings us today where my pathfinder currently sits at the nissan dealership in need of a new radiator and transmission. As a result of the defect, while driving my truck started to overheat and then the transmission dropped into 1st gear while going 50 mph. While in traffic with one of my children in the car, this caused the vehicle to rapidly decelerate. So now i have to decide to pay for this repair, that is done using the same parts with no guarantee it will not happen again. This is the third serious issue that i've had with this truck. |
