| Description of the problem | Wow, i am amazed that my story is so similar to the ones i'm reading here. I also purchased a 2008 pathfinder brand new. And i experienced the same issue with the radiator leaking into my transmission. And nissan has turned their back on me as well. After doing some digging, i found out that nissan knew about this issue in 2007. And yet when i bought my vehicle that had 13 miles on it from the dealership, never was this issue brought to my attention. I believe they issued extended warranties in 2010 and 2012. But never contacted us. If i had known it was a possibility of an issue, i would have had the correct repair done in advance to prevent this. But now i find myself with a destroyed transmission and nowhere to go. I can not currently pay out for this repair. I also am leading with nissan to fix this problem. But they keep telling me " nissan is not in a position to help me right now". The funny thing is that my family has bought 5 nissan vehicles in the last 17 years. Some loyalty to a member of their family. I urge you people to do what i did. Issue a formal complaint with the better business bureau and most important the attorney generals office. Eventually we will have to be heard. I have also made it my mission to print out all the documents i have read regarding this issue and hand it to every person i i see driving a nissan. And if it's parked, i leave it under the wiper. I drive everyday and go from manhattan to montauk. So far i have spoken with or left information for over 200 nissan vehicles. And i'm not going to stop until there is enough complaints that we can get this thing fixed. Frank o |
