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.

"takata recall"; while driving on the city streets in los angeles, ca the power train (automatic transmission) failed and the radiator failed. The gasket in the radiator that separates the oil and water failed in the radiator while these fluids are cooled when the vehicle is running. Once this gasket failed, the water and oil mixed together. Sending water mixed with oil into the transmission. The water in the transmission ruins the transmission value body, electrical parts & gears also over heats the vehicle engine. The transmission needs to be replace, the radiator needs to be replace, flush of coolant system, flush of transmission and replace all fluids (transmission oil & coolant fluid). I replacement of transmission or rebuild. I had the transmission repaired at a cost $3000 plus a radiator and fluids/oil at a cost $500 for total $3500.
Your regulations are ridiculous, cars are no longer comfortable with the stupid head rest restraints pushing your head down to your chest. These things are never designed to work with people who are 5 foot tall or less. I have to take them off to even drive any type of vehicle anymore. I have no curvature in my neck vertebrae so having my head pushed forward by a head rest is painful. Your should check the internet, because there are a lot of people bitching about this. Let our heads rest and reduce the government mandated angle that a normal human can't comfortably or safely drive with.
On my way to work in early morning rush hour traffic my transmission completely locked up in a lower gear. The car began to shudder and I was forced to slow to about 15 mph. I was very lucky that no one struck me from the rear as traffic was very heavy. Nissan stated that the radiator fluid leaked into the transmission causing the transmission to fail. I have been quoted $7,050 by lander's Nissan in southaven, ms to repair.
