| Description of the problem | Major issues with my 2006 nissan pathfinder. Intermix with coolant and transmission fluid. The nissan dealership knew after a few moments from lifting my hood. The mechanic explained it would cost over $1500 to replace the radiator and flush the transmission and advised me to come back after 10k miles. After having the radiator ($800) replaced i was on the highway for less than a mile and my rpms were revving high when i accelerated and the truck was obviously stuck in gear. Took pathfinder back (two days) to mechanic and found the radiator contaminated once again and needing a new transmission which will cost $2500 that i don't have and i can't afford a new vehicle. I'm making payments on a car i can't drive. My husband is driving a 2005 altima which is having similar problems and just haven't broken down complete. Nissan should recognized this issue and address asap. |
