| Description of the problem | I have the same problem that has been reported hundreds of times. I have over 100,000 miles, and was put in a very dangerous situation while driving my car. As i was making a left turn across two lanes and into the path of oncoming vehicles, the car stuttered, all of the lights were flashing, power steering went out, and the gas nor break would work. I was halfway through my turn when i realized my pathfinder just shut down-i had no warnings, or trouble with the car coming up to making my turn. I was very fortunate that i was able to coast onto the street i was turning onto it was by the grace of god i didn't get into an accident. Come to find out the radiator leak into the transmission causing it to contaminate the transmission fluid and essentially blow the transmission. Repair is over $7000 from two different body shops as well as a nissan certified service center. I of course was not happy when i was told my mileage exceeded the extended warranty coverage. I was also sad to find out nissan wasn't doing anything for their customers, despite the many many complaints and lawsuits filed against nissan wasn't doing anything for their customers, despite the many many complaints and lawsuits filed against them. They don't seem to care about consumer safety |
