Description of the problem	Like some of the other complaints, i also had transmission problems with my 2007 nissan pathfinder. In october 2009, with 48,000 miles, my transmission started to act up, shifting in and out of overdrive very abruptly, and violently. Also, when i was at a cruising rpm of 1500-2500 rpm, in overdrive, the car would vibrate very violently. I took it to the dealership, and they stated that it was the transmission, and fortunate for me, it was covered under warranty. 6,000 miles later, in february 2010, the problem came back. Once again, i took it to the dealer. This time they stated that they found antifreeze in the transmission fluid. They stated that they needed to contact a nissan rep for further instructions. 3 days later i received a call stating the problem (antifreeze was leaking into the transmission lines from inside the radiator, and it needed replaced), and they said that nissan would cover the transmission, but not the radiator. When asked the price of the radiator, they quoted me 650 dollars! The radiator ended up costing me 677 dollars after taxes, and they replaced the transmission under warranty, although they stated that they should not, since the problem was due to the radiator. I see that this was not just a fluke problem with my vehicle, but it seems to be common with this vehicle. Something needs to be addressed over this matter, for it is a saftey issue, and someone is bound to get injured, if they have not already. I have found hundreds of complaints online over the leaking and mixing inside of the radiator, leading to the transmission problem. Today, on august 24, 2010, i learned that the torque converter will now need replaced. A 2007 nissan pathfinder with 64k miles, on its 3rd transmission, new radiator, and now will need a torque converter. This is unacceptable!!! Nissan refuses to accept fault for the problem.
