| Description of the problem | At about 94000 miles the radioator cracked causing the antifreeze to mix with transmission fluid. Which is a know problem with these vechiles. So took to dealership and had to have transmission replaced and radiator as well. Now at 128000 the pathfinder is doing the same thing again. The radiator is fill of the milky fluid that is the result of the two fluids mixing. So with in two years do to the same problem i have to have the transmission replaced but this time i have to pay the whole thing cause the pathfinder is over the 100000 mile marker. Last time i had to pay the first 3000 dollars of the bill. How is this problem not being recalled on these pathfinders. |
