FOUND OUT THAT MY RADIATOR HAD A FAILURE AND A TRANSMISSION HOSE CRACKED INSIDE THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID ALL MIXED UP TO INVADED BOTH THE MOTOR COOLING SYSTEM AND THE TRANSMISSION.. DONT WANT TO GO IN GEAR WHEN TURNING AND IT MAKE THIS RUMBLING NOSE WHEN YOU DRIVING IT
Power train, Aug 7, 2015
I WAS DRIVING TO WORK TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN THE TRUCK STARTED TO OVER HEAT AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP OUT OF OVER DRIVE. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED AT AN AUTO PARTS STORE. I PULLED THE TRANSMISSION DIP STICK. IT WAS MILKY. I ALSO FOUND THE COOLANT OVERFLOW WAS BUBBLING OUT A MIX OF MILKY FLUIDS. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL GARAGE AND THEY EXPLAINED THE ISSUE. THE RADIATOR HAD FAILED AND BLEW APART INSIDE, WHICH CREATED AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION LINE INSIDE THE RADIATOR. THE COOLANT MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE GARAGE REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THIS COST ME $650. THE TRANSMISSION WASN'T RIGHT FROM THIS POINT ON. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I HAVE REPLACED THE RADIATOR THIS TIME MYSELF AND TOOK IT TO THE GARAGE TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED. AT THIS POINT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS INTO EVERY GEAR AND WILL CONTINUOUSLY SLIP IF ITS IN OVERDRIVE. THE CAR IS UN DRIVABLE AND HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW. TRANSMISSIONS FOR THIS CAR ARE OVER $2500 AND I JUST CANT AFFORD TO PUT ONE INTO IT

TRANSMISSION FAILED DUE TO COOLANT LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION. HAD MY WHOLE FAMILY WHEN TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT DON'T WANT TO IMAGE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS GOING FASTER THAN 35 MPH. COST TO REPAIR $5800. DANGEROUSLY UNACCEPTABLE.
Power train, Engine, Jul 21, 2015
AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY IT STARTED TO SHUDDER AND SHAKE AND THEN FINALLY COMPLETELY TURNED OFF ON THE HIGHWAY. ONCE I GOT IT STARTED AGAIN IT WOULD ONLY GO ABOUT 20MPH I WAS ABLE TO MOVE OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND EXIT THE HIGHWAY. ONCE WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD US THAT THE RADIATOR HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND ALSO THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE TWO CATALYCTIC CONVERTERS. THE TOTAL REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS WOULD COST ME $8000 AS I WOULD ALSO NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. WE REPLACED THE RADIATOR BUT OF COURSE THAT IS ONLY HALF THE PROBLEM. I STILL OWE ABOUT $13K ON THE VEHICLE, HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR 8 MONTHS AND AM NOW STUCK BECAUSE I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND I CANT GET RID OF THE TRUCK KNOWING THIS PROBLEM.

I WAS JUST INFORMED BY A FELLOW NISSAN OWNER ABOUT HER TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. WHY WAS I NOT NOTIFIED BY NISSAN THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE? NO CARD, LETTER... NOTHING! I WOULD HAVE HAD MY CAR INSPECTED FOR DEFECT IF I KNEW!!

WE PURCHASED OUR 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER ON MAY 21 OF THIS YEAR. TODAY MAKES 39 DAYS WE'VE HAD IT. ON THE 32 DAY WE NOTICED IT WAS HAVING SOME ROUGHNESS IN THE TRANSMISSION WHEN CHANGING GEARS. IT FELT LIKE WE WERE RUNNING OVER REALLY ROUGH ROADS OR RUMBLE STRIPS. IT CONTINUED TO GET WORSE THE LONGER WE DROVE IT. THEN AROUND A WEEK AGO I PUT IT IN REVERSE AND IT CONTINUED TO ROLL FORWARD. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE HOME TO INFORM MY HUSBAND. WHEN HE CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IT APPEARED TO BE EMPTY. WHEN HE FURTHER CHECKED IT AND CLEANED THE DIP STICK IT WAS A TANISH COLORED LIQUID THAT WAS SHOWING UP. I WENT TO GOOGLE AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHERS WITH THIS SAME OR SIMILAR VEHICLE WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, AND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A LEAK IN A RADIATOR HOSE THAT RUNS THRU THE TRANSMISSION AND LEAKS FLUIDS BACK AND FORTH. MY HUSBAND WENT TO CHECK THE RADIATOR AND SURE ENOUGH THERE IS TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE RADIATOR AND IT APPEARED IN THE ENGINE AS WELL. SO NOW WE HAVE TRANSMISSION FLUID, WATER, AND ANTIFREEZE IN OUR TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR AND ENGINE. NISSAN NEEDS TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. ITS CLEAR THAT THIS IS A FLAW IN THEIR WORKMANSHIP. WE WERE TOLD BY NISSAN TO BRING OUR PATHFINDER IN FOR AN EVALUATION AND BE PREPARED TO PAY 2,500.00 DOLLARS. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE ARE PAYING A PAYMENT ALREADY ON A VEHICLE WE HAVE HAD FOR ONE MONTH. WE CANT AFFORD THIS KIND OF REPAIR. SO NOW WERE STUCK WITH A CAR WE CANT EVEN DRIVE.....UPDATED 09/03/15 *BF

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE A YEAR AGO AT 79,000 MILES. IN JANUARY OF 2015, I HIT THE 100,000 MILE MARK AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. LOUD AND JERKY SHIFTING AND SMELLING FOUL IN THE AIR CONDITIONER. NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE AND SINCE I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, (100,000 MILES) THAT THEY WEREN'T LIABLE. HE SAID I COULD DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT SHOULDN'T BREAK DOWN FOR ANOTHER FEW THOUSAND MILES. SO I JUST PARKED IT. I WOULD ONLY DRIVE IT IF I ABSOLUTELY HAD NO OTHER CHOICE. FRIDAY, MAY 15 2015 I WAS COMING HOME FROM A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY BROKE DOWN. THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AND I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR WITH ME. AT 40 MPH, THE RPM WAS AT ALMOST 5,000. I PULLED OVER TO CALL MY HUSBAND AND WHEN WE PUT IT IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE, IT WOULDN'T GO INTO REVERSE. I HAD TO TOW IT HOME AND IT'S COMPLETELY BROKEN DOWN. I DON'T HAVE 4,000 TO SPEND ON A TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR.

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER THAT STARTED MAKING LOUD RUMBLING NOISES WHILE DRIVING. WE REPLACED THE RADIATOR AFTER THE CAR OVER HEATED AND A MILKY SUBSTANCE LEAKED. WE'VE HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED TWICE. WE WERE TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT THE RADIATOR LIQUID MIXED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTING TO FIND THAT THERE ARE SO MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND THAT NISSAN IS DOING NOTHING TO HELP.

MY 2007 NISSON PATHFINDER BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS AND WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE MECHANIC, HE STATED THE COOLANT FLUID WENT INTO THE TRANMISSION AND CAUSED MAJOR PROBLEMS AND NOW THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION NEED REPLACEMENT TO THE TUNE OF $4900.00 (APPROXIMATE PRICE GIVEN BY LEE MYLES). I ACTUALLY BROUGHT THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALER AND THEIR QUOTE WAS $5800.00 AND THEN THEY STATATED OTHER ISSES NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED AND THEY STATED THE TOTAL COST WOULD BE $10,000.00! BOOK VALUE OF THE CAR THROUGH KELLY BLUE BOOK IS $9,600.00 IN EXCELLENT CONDITION! I SAW THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH PATHFINDERS AND I WANTED TO TELL MY STORY. I HOPE THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE AGAINST NISSAN! *TR

RADIATOR LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION, CAUSING BOTH TO GO OUT. REPEATEDLY TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM BUT THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE RADIATOR-TRANSMISSION ISSUE. ONCE MY CAR FINALLY DIED I WAS FORCED TO REPAIR ON MY OWN WITH NO HELP FROM NISSAN. I WAS TOO FAR OVER MILES TO BE INCLUDED IN THEIR "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM" WHICH ONLY COVERED COST OVER $3,000 AND UNDER 100,000 MILES. I SPENT $4,360.00 OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION AND BYPASS RADIATOR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME FROM MY DAUGHTERS DOCTORS APPOINTMENT. IT WAS DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC TIME. AS I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE I FELT A JERK ON THE CARD AND THE O/D LIGHT START FLASHING. I WAS ALMOST HOME SO I KEPT DRIVING TO MAKE IT HOME. DID NOT WANT TO B STRANDED IN THE ROAD WITH MY DAUGHTER. AS I PUSHED ON THE GAS IT DID NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE AN MORE, ALL THE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND WE PRETTY MUCH STROLLED INTO THE NEAREST GAS STATION. I PUT IT IN PARK AND WAITED A MOMENT AND TRIED TO SEE IF IT WOULD CUT BACK ON, BUT IT DIDN'T. I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE MECHANIC SHOP AND HE SAID IT SMELLED LIKE RADIATOR FLUID. AFTER DOING DIAGNOSTIC HE SAID PROBLEM WAS TO DUE TO A CRACK THAT LEAKED RADIATOR FLUID INTO TRANSMISSION. SO NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR AND COMPUTER. COST WOULD BE OVER $5,000. *TR
