Description of the problem	We purchased our pathfinder from a dealership june 1, 2012. On july 2, 2013 we were driving back home and the transmission started to slip. Upon researching online immediately when we got home, we found that many, many others had the same issue and that it is caused by faulty design of the radiator and transmission. The radiator cracks and leaks directly into the transmission so there is no warning that there is an issue until it's too late. The next morning i immediately drove it to our nearest nissan dealer to have it checked out. They informed me after my description of what was going on that indeed, that is probably what was wrong but they couldn't get me in to check it out for another 6 days (and it would be $109) to diagnose. They also informed me that nissan has issued a conditional warranty of them. Up to 80,000 miles, they cover any expense past $2,500. Up to 90,00 miles, they cover any expense past $3,000. Up to 100,00 they cover any expense past $3,500. There is no coverage past 100,000 miles and the average cost to repair is $7000. 00. Our transmission failed at 108,000 miles. Now we are stuck paying out of pocket for a flawed design that nissan acknowledges is their fault. How is there not a mandatory recall on these models and nissan not required to replace these issues in full on their dime.. For their mistake? The conditional warranty offered is a joke and i am infuriated that nissan is not covering our flawed vehicle also. This failure is in no wise due to any neglect or misuse of the owner/operator's part. Where is the responsibility for this product? Why must we continue to promote a mindset of neglecting responsibility for what we produce? Where is the quality? Where is the follow-through?
