| Description of the problem | Our 2006 pathfinder had started shuttering in the transmission about a week before it just gave out on the side of the road. I took it to an independent transmission repair shop, who told me that the radiator fluid had gotten into the transmission and ruined it. I did some checking on the internet and found that i was not the only one that has had this problem. Nissan has known this was a problem and has not sent any notices or recalls. I also had another problem recently with the ecm relay, that left it on the side of the road. After research found that a recall was issued and no notice was sent out. I was thankful that nissan replaced the relay. We have call nissan customer service about the transmission, but i do not believe they will help due to the mileage. This should have been addressed when it was discovered with a new radiator and a complete transmission service. |
