Description of the problem	I was driving home from a weekend vacation in ocean city, md with 2 of my children in my 2006 nissan pathfinder. Approximately 45 minutes into the drive on route 1 in de, the vehicle abruptly 'jumped' and then slipped out of gear. Luckily, i was able to coast into the right lane and then pull to the side of the road. If not, we could have been hit by any vehicles that were behind us. For a brief time, i was able to get the vehicle to slowly drive in 1st gear and pull into a parking lot of a gas station/convenience store. I couldn't get it to go back into drive after that point. We then had to wait 2 1/2 hours to be picked up by my husband. The car was towed to a local shop and diagnosed as needing a new transmission. The price quoted was extremely high (probably because they knew we were out of state), so we opted to have the vehicle towed back to our town of residence to a transmission shop. The shop indicated that they have seen this problem many times in 2005-2007 nissan pathfinders. The radiator cracks, and the coolant leaks into the transmission, which ends up destroying the transmission. This appears to be a known defect. $6000 later, i now have a repaired nissan pathfinder. Nissan needs to issue a recall and fix these known issues. They also need to reimburse customers who have experienced these issues and have had to pay for the repairs out of pocket.
