| Description of the problem | Our 2006 nissan pathfinder was having issues where it would shutter heavily while trying to accelerate, the power would drop off and the car would rev high. After taking it to the local nissan dealer, they found the cat converter bad and the plugs fouled. They fixed that and the car ran "better" but was not quite running perfect again. Several months later we were suspect of a similar issue as last time where the car would lag before shifting especially when we would step on it. So, we took it back to nissan and this time they found the issue that thousands of people are having where the radiator cracks and leaks coolant into the transmission. After being quoted $5900 for the fix, i asked about this issue i've seen online and not until then did they look into it and see that nissan put out an extended warranty on this matter. I still have to pay a $3000 deductible which is bs but it is better than $5900 |
