| Description of the problem | Transmission failed due to faulty radiator in our 2007 nissan pathfinder. Our 17 year old son was driving on a very busy interstate late sunday june 16th, 2013. The car's transmission failed suddenly with no known notice. Luckily he was able to steer of the side of the road until assistance could come. This is an issue that nissan is definitely aware of. They will not recall these radiators while fully knowing that the transmission of all 2005 through 2010 pathfinders will eventually fail leaving their consumers at a safety risk. The replacement of all radiators and transmissions are only covered up to 80,000 miles or 8 years, whichever comes first. After that, the consumer is on the hook for repairs. Please help to have these radiators recalled! |
