Description of the problem	I was driving up a mountain road when suddenly my vehicle began to shake and lose power. The engine then began to rev and the vehicle began to roll backwards. I applied my brakes and put the vehicle in all available gears including reverse and the engine continued to rev. The police were called and i was almost struck by passing vehicles multiple times. After 55 minutes the police arrived and requested an expedited tow. Vehicle was then towed from the roadway. After paying the $135. 00 tow bill to the local tow yard i was able to call aaa and have them tow me the almost 90 miles back to my home in nj. This was of course the saturday of memorial day weekend so nothing was going to be open until tuesday morning. Tuesday morning i had my vehicle towed to a local, reputable transmission place. Ultimately they told me that water had gotten into my transmission and it would cost $3,188. 60 to fix. The transmission place told me that they have seen many nissans with this type of problem. After going home and googling nissan pathfinder transmission i was appalled to see all the complaints about nissan pathfinder (and other model nissans) transmissions. I was literally taken back by it and could not believe it. I then contacted my nissan dealer and was told that my vehicle would have been covered before november 14, 2014 or if i had less than 80,000 miles. My truck had just over 84,000 miles. I then called nissan north america. They advised me that in order for them to determine whether they would cover any of the expenses incurred due to this problem i would i have to tow my truck to the dealer and have them take a look at it. Once completed with that, they would submit a report to nissan north america to determine whether any or all of the incurred expenses would be covered... Potentially taking several weeks or months with no guarantee that anything would be covered.
