Description of the problem	My 2008 nissan pathfinder had transmission issues and was replaced twice in 2017. I brought to the nissan authorized dealer first for a thumbing sound when pushing gas pedal after taking the foot off. When it worsened they said it was the calipers and changed my calipers for $2000. But the thumbing sound persisted. After a few months they said it was transmission issue and they changed the transmission twice. The thumbing sound persisted whenever the vehicle was driven above 40 mph. The transmission was covered under warranty but the sound got worse. I took it to another dealership and they found broken metal pieces in the real axle box. I called nissan consumer affairs and they said they cannot help since there is no recall. I see similar incidents reported by consumers in the internet. Now i have to pay $3000 to replace the rear axle assembly according to the quote given by the nissan dealership for parts and labor. This was something that could have been diagnosed during the warranty time and nissan dealership couldn't diagnose it. Not they say the warranty was over a year ago. Having the gear box broken is something that should never happen. This was something that happened during the warranty period but now nissan rejects to correct it.
