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.
I have replaced the fuse and relay, but the horn does not work. I had a mechanic friend make sure the harness under the airbag was still plugged in and make sure the spring was not broken. Everything looks good, still no horn.
This is definitely a very annoying dilemma. Along with the horn, all the steering lights and audio controls don't work. I can do without the controls but the horn is going to be quite an inconvenience for me. I checked the fuse and replaced the horn relay just to rule that out. Didn't fix the problem.
Personally, I can do without the horn, but it won't pass inspection and I don't want to end up paying hundreds of dollars in fines. I know that taking it to the dealership will cost me a couple of hundred, if not thousands, to get the horn along with all the other problems it has fixed. Just had a couple of problems fixed on it a couple of months ago.
Other problems:Rear hatch: hinge broke; tried to fix it but the hinge is made out of hard plastic. It wouldn't stay shut so I had to duct tape the entire rear window so it wouldn't fall off while I was driving. Service engine light is always on, even after it was at the dealership. The hood vibrates excessively in extremely windy conditions.
