 Description of the problemAs a single father of three teenagers, i needed two vehicles with enough room and safety features to handle high school and college needs. I bought two pathfinders, a 2007 se and 2008 le, one for myself and one for my son (which would be passed on, etc). My decision was based on my previous experience with nissan products and my loyalty to the brand. However, i now have both pathfinders needing major repairs to their automatic transmissions. The 2008 pathfinder's transmission failed in very heavy houston traffic while driving with my younger son, which caused other vehicles to slam on their brakes and almost created a large pile-up on a major highway. While we avoided being killed by oncoming vehicles, we were also in danger as we moved the car to the side of the highway. After towing the vehicle to a reputable transmission shop, he found the issue to be a known problem with the coolant fluid leaking into the automatic transmission, causing total failure. Estimates are over $6,000 for rebuilding or replacing the transmission with parts and labor, including the required addition of a "cooler" instead of the radiator. I attempted to file this with my car insurance but was denied coverage. Now, the 2007 pathfinder is having the same symptoms with slippage and inability to use overdrive, which almost cause another multi-car pile-up in houston traffic until i was able to downshift and move aside. It's only a matter of time before the 2007 pathfinder transmission also fails completely, and i still owe $12,000 to the credit union on both loans combined. I attempted a loan for repairs through the transmission shop, but was denied due to bad credit from a lay-off last year. Nissan, please issue a recall for those of us without hope and unable to buy a new vehicle. This is your chance to save lives and boost your brand to a higher level, through integrity.
