CarComplaints.com Notes: There are no warning signs of the same "radiator leaked and killed my transmission" complaints that have plagued previous model years.

For earlier Pathfinder model years (2005-2008), a defect in the radiator allows engine coolant to leak into the transmission. However this defect doesn't appear to affect Pathfinders from 2009 & later. Nissan did include the 2010 model when they extended their radiator warranty on 2005-2010 Pathfinders to 8 years/80,000 miles in response to the transmission defect.

The contact owns a 2010 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated while approaching a traffic light at approximately 35 MPH, he depressed the brake pedal however, the vehicle inadvertently accelerated causing the vehicle to run the red light. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to coast to a stop and turned off the vehicle. The contact stated he waited 10 minutes before restarting the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The dealer replaced the brakes and brake drums. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000.

While driving on highrise pkg lot hear grinding noise, once outside I got to corner stop and turning to the right I step on the brakes, however the car would not stop.it took approximately one car length to come to stop moving, all the time with the brakes applied to the bottom. No other incident for a week. Two Sunday's ago at church the same happen, apply brakes and car continue moving, it took about a car lengths to come to stop. Luckily there was no one walking at the church parking. It is at the dealer since then for repair. Is waiting (9days)for the ESC module, which went bad and without it, they can not determine the brakes problem. Once that is replace they will test the ABS computer because nothing appears to be wrong with the mechanical/physical parts of the brakes. The car has gave all the schedule maintenance bless you the book at the dealers service shop for Nissan.
