| Description of the problem | I recently bought a used 2006 pathfinder. I was at a park on day and a guy came up to me asking me if i had any transmission problems with mine. I told to him that i had only had it for a few weeks but had not noticed any problems. Well he went on to tell me that he had transmission problems due to coolant leaking into transmission and had spent 3,500 in getting it fixed. In which he had to replace radiator, rebuild transmission and transmission computer part. He had a friend that done the work for free and he only had to pay for parts. So of course with just buying our pathfinder i came home and told my husband the news and to look it up on the internet because there were so many others with this same problem. So after looking on the internet he went and checked the fluids and of course we had transmission fluid in our radiator. We haven't even paid on our truck 6 months yet and already have a major cost to have repairs made. It is so crazy to see all these people with the same problem and nissan will do nothing about it and they claim to have great customer service????!!!! I will let anyone and everyone i know of this problem so that they to can make a claim against nissan so maybe they will have this problem fixed since if you call any dealership this a known problem. |
