| Description of the problem | Heard a thud in the rear. Took it to get looked at by a mechanic. Before the mechanic even looked at it he knew what was wrong. I told him i think something is wrong with my transmission. The mechanic already knew what was wrong hooked it up to the computer. Didn't show anything he explained to me. The computer was not working on the car it had burned out due to the design of pathfinder. The transmission oil the radiator and all of the cars fluids are mixed. The radiator looked like vasoline. He told me i need a transmission cooling system and computer. Hr would charge 5,000 dollars he suggested taking it to nissan. He said he has fixed several pathifinders with the same issues he said nissan is well aware of the problems. I took it to my dealer in bradenton fl. Where i purchased my car they quoted me 8,000 dollars to fix it. Since my truck isn't under warranty. I asked my dealer about all the problems. He told me to call nissan to make a complaint there isn't any thing he can do. Then i researched and found thousands of pathfinders with my same problem im appalled by this. And need to know what i can do???? |
