| Description of the problem | Received warranty extension on my 2007 pathfinder radiator to 80,000. Radiator has faulty transmission cooler inside which leaks into transmission causing transmission failure. Why not a recall. Called nissan corporate and they said they will only fix the known defect after the failure which of course leaves you stranded somewhere. This makes the vehicle an unreliable mode of transportation, especially on long trips. Very dissatisfied with this vehicle due to transmission cooler defects, timing chain tensioner defect, and the fuel gauge inop defect. These are all major defects in which nissan got off easy by warranty extensions and not preventative repairs of known defects. |
