CarComplaints.com Notes: While there are fewer "radiator leaked into transmission" complaints for the 2008 model year, they are starting to pile up. Buyer beware.

Nissan has extended their radiator warranty on 2005-2010 Pathfinders to 8 years/80,000 miles. However the average mileage for transmission failure for earlier model years is 95,000 miles, which conveniently (for Nissan) is just past the limit of their extended warranty. Owners beware.

The sunroof on my vehicle exploded. The roof was closed and as I was driving down the road I heard the explosion. The sound was defining and sounded like a bomb or gun had discharged. When I pulled over to look the glass was pointing upward like a large force had blown it out. If the shade had not been closed I would have had significant damage to my head and face.

Takata recall, I've been told several times that my VIN number is not part of the recall. I was recently in accident with major front end damage. I rear ended an SUV in the brooklyn battery tunnel. My speed was approx 15-25mph. My bumper cover, grill, radiator, transmission cooler, fan, fan shroud, headlight, S hood, etc have to be replaced, I've attached a picture. It should be pretty clear that the air bag should have gone off.
