Description of the problem	At 86,000 miles my transmission started to stutter. I took it to nissan dealership in fairfax va and they just said i needed a new transmission for $7500. They mentioned nothing about a potential radiator problem causing this, they basically played dumb about it. If i were to have them fix it with a new transmission, i would have had the same problem all over. The service manager said i might want to "punt" on this one and let someone else deal with the problem. I decided to take it to aamco and they told me that there is a problem with this model where the radiator fails and fluid is cross-contaminated with the transmission. I paid $5000 to have this fixed. Nissan should fess up to this problem. I've been doing my research and it turns out that this problem has happened with numerous pathfinder owners. Something needs to be done about this well known, documented issue. This type of issue could lead to a major accident if the transmission were to fail on the highway or a major personal safety issue if failure were to happen on back roads.
