| Description of the problem | Noticed hesitation in lower gears with minor vibration. Sent the pathfinder for an early service to have them look it over. Explained to them the problem i was having. They test drove the vehicle and did not notice any problem. They checked the catalytic converter. It was fine. They recommended maybe replacing the spark plugs would help. It did not help. One week later the vibration was longer and more violent. Discovered online that people were having problems with the oil cooler. I checked the transmission fluid and it was over full and gritty. The radiator was low and had oil in it from the trans. I have been told they could repair it for $750-$7,000. I had them do 95% of all the services and i bought the car new from nissan. 6 years later my vehicle is worthless. |
