| Description of the problem | I was on expressway, driving approximately 60-65 miles per hour and without warning car lost all its ability to accelerate or maintain speed. Car engine would rev when you pressed on the accelerator but the car would not respond. Vehicles behind me had to hit on there brakes and go around me as i attempted to steer vehicle to the side of the expressway. Once vehicle came to a stop, my transmission would not engage in any gear leaving me stranded. I had to have vehicle towed to my home. I was informed by nissan that engine coolant had leaked into my transmission and ruined my transmission. I have since found out this is a common problem on nissan pathfinders and the cost to repair vehicle is between 4 and 5 thousand dollars. |
