| Description of the problem | While driving my 2008 nissan pathfinder there was a hard shift when i put it in reverse, then noticed the check engine light was lit and steady, i then switched gears into drive which had a violent jerking motion & slight hesitation to accelerate. As i proceeded to drive on the county road the check engine light began flashing constantly & the vehicle had little power to accelerate & constantly hesitating causing me to immediately pull over. I believe the problem was created due to the entermix coolant in transmission as stated by the techician in the report i provided. This was a safety risk because at the time of incident i was driving across the road. |
