Description of the problem	Takata recall ?? The 2008 nissan pathfinder radiator and transmission failure and breakdown due to coolant leak into the transmission. Purchased pre-owned with nothing listed on car facts (carfax), or with any advisement to the issues with radiator coolant leaking into transmission. After a $1,017 bill from aamco for a diagnostic to find the issue, (in which they had to pull the tranny and inspect it was damaged due to fluid from radiator getting inside compromising transmission seals) i discovered, online, this ongoing well know problem.. Called nissan north america and discovered my vehicle was covered under the 100k mileage (94955 actual) and good through 8-2017, from a previous filed complaint or class action, not sure which. However, apparently i only qualify for a co/pay of $3,000 on a vehicle valued at tops, $7,500. Needless to say i would have never purchased this vehicle, had i known this was an issue. I have been in touch with my bank, the dealership i purchased it from, and nissan north america and no one is willing to assist. I suppose i will contact my attorney at this point (lemon law, tort laws, something) because i cant' seem to find anyone understanding to me, the consumer, whom is not at fault on this deal for help. I am extremely unhappy that nissan has allowed this to happen. They should at least put a carfax warning or something to notify potential buyers or owners of this problem. I understand that parts get worn and go bad, however, this in not something that i have neglected to fix, maintain, check, or anything. This is a bad part/design flaw in the coolant system and should in all rights be fixed at 100% by nissan. Beware.
