| Description of the problem | I had no idea that the transmission would fail on my pathfinder, after finding out that thousands of pathfinder owners experienced the same safety issue i am concerned. Nissan tells me they know there is a problem with the radiator and will leak coolant into transmission causing the failure. It will cost around $ 5,000 to repair ,money i don't have. Some one is going to get hurt or worse if this failure was to cause a crash. Why has nissan not been forced to recall and correct their faulty equipment? |
