TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 60 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED INTO SECOND GEAR BEFORE DECELERATING AND BECOMING UNRESPONSIVE TO ACCELERATION ATTEMPTS. ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL AS THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT RADIATOR FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND BOTH COMPONENTS WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS THEN CONTACTED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 78,000.

MY 1995 NISSAN PATHFINDER'S TRANSMISSION HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED DO TO FAILURE OF NISSAN IN THE DESIGN OF THE COOLING TUBES. AFTER CONTACTING SEVERAL TRANSMISSION SHOPS I WAS TOLD THIS IS A PROBLEM AFFECTING ALL NISSAN TRANSMISSIONS UP TO YR 98. THAT IS WHEN NISSAN FIXED THE PROBLEM BY MAKING THE COOLING TUBES LARGER DIAMETER. THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL ON THIS BUT DID NOT. THE REVERSE GEAR IS THE FIRST ONE TO BURN OUT. IF YOU CAN GET 125K ON ANY OF THESE TRANSMISSIONS YOU ARE VERY LUCKY. THE TRANSMISSION SHOPS SAY TO MAKE IT OVER 150K IS A MIRACLE. I MADE IT TO 189K. MAKE NISSAN RECALL THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TS
