| Description of the problem | My pathfinder stopped defrosting/heating when the vehicle is idle. This is a symptom of the well known cracked radiator problem that leads to transmission failure in many 2005-2010 pathfinders at around 95,000 mileage. The safety concern is that i like many others have to get to work on time and end up driving these vehicles without the windows being properly defrosted. This causes clear vision issues and increases the probability of getting in an accident, a major safety concern. For this reason, i would seriously consider instituting a recall to replace the radiators. |
