| Description of the problem | I purchased my 2007 nissan pathfinder brand new.. I just paid it off last year.. I've been feeling like something was wrong with the shifting for some time.. But no one could find anything... Well as i was driving down the road it just did not want to shift.. Starting heating when i went over 60 mph. I took it to a specialist and come to find out the radiator is leaking coolant into my transmission.. Im at 3500. 00 in just parts right now.. Than i go online and see all these other poor families that have had the same thing happen.. All nissan had to do was let us know there was a problem with the leakage.. This makes me sick.. I worked hard to pay this vehicle off.. Now instead of taking my kids on vacation i will be paying for my vehicle to be repaired.. Nissan totally denies any problem, however when you call the dealership they will try and sell you an updated radiator.. Why does it need to be updated if they are saying nothing was wrong with the old one?? Something needs to be done. We put our trust in a product and it failed us and now they want more money from us.. This is wrong.. I beg for any assistance and that someone step in and make nissan pay for what they are doing to people.. Families work to hard for their products to have to be treated the way nissan is treating us.. And no one seems to be listening... I want answers.. If i sold a product and there was a defect i would fix the problem,... Not try and cover it up with making my consumer by another part from me... |
