CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2005-2007 Pathfinder appears to have a widespread defect where coolant leaks into the transmission, causing transmission failure around 90,000 miles. Repair costs are typically upwards of $3,500.
According to the New York Times & a class action lawsuit, the defect actually extends through 2010 model year. More info here.
I never knew that we could voice our concerns even after warranty has expired. Had I known about consumer affairs and websites like these many years ago I would have tried to take care of the matter sooner. My vehicle is now considered old but about 4-5 years after purchasing it brand new the paint started coming off and rusting on the roof of my pathfinder.
Add insult to injury my vehicle needs over $9000.00 in repair which Nissan could have taken care of many years ago but has chosen to turn the other check. I basicly have a piece of trash sitting in my driveway there is no way I can afford to pay $9000.00 to fix my vehicle especially since they are defective parts that nissan knew about.
