| Description of the problem | I was driving home from work when i noticed my 2007 pathfinder was not shifting properly, then my check engine light came on. I then took it to an auto parts store to see what code was causing the check engine light to come on, i was told it was the transmission speed sensor. The next day i took my car to a transmission repair shop where i was told it was not the speed sensor, but the radiator had leaked coolant into the transmission. I was then told this was very common in the pathfinder and nissan would not help with repair cost. I contacted the local dealership where i usually get my car serviced and was told that nissan knew about this issue and would not help with repair costs unless i brought my car to them for diagnostic testing. I did they told me what i already knew and that it would cost $7500 to repair minus the $105 i spent for the diagnostic test. My car is not paid for and i can't afford to get it repaired. Nissan should be held responsible for their poor handling of this defect. It should not take someone being seriously injured or killed before they take action. Since finding out this problem i have been researching and have found i am not alone in this fight against nissan. |
