ON 8/11/2015 I CONTACTED NISSAN REGIONAL TO FILE A COMPLAINT, 19756783, ABOUT A POSSIBLE ISSUE WITH MY TRUCK. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE TRUCK IN TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BUT WAS TOLD I HAD TO PAY A $139.99 DIAGNOSTIC FEE. I DIDN'T HAVE THOSE FUNDS AT THE TIME. MY TRUCK IS NOW STARTING TO SHOW SIGNS OF JERKING WHILE DRIVING. A MONTH AGO , I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FLUIDS MAY BE MIXING TOGETHER. AUTO MECHANIC SAID THE FLUIDS LOOKED MILKY. I DRIVE MY FOUR CHILDREN , AGES 11 MONTHS TO 8 YEARS OF AGE ON A DAILY BASIS TO AND FROM SCHOOL AND AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES. WE HAVE FAMILY IN THE KENOSHA, WISCONSIN AREA WHICH WE OFTEN FREQUENT. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A HIGH SPEED. WHENEVER I HAVE TO GO FAR, I DRIVE OUR SEDAN WHICH SEATS 5 PASSENGERS, YET THERE ARE 6 PEOPLE IN OUR FAMILY. I AM AWARE THIS IS NOT SAFE, HOWEVER I FEEL THAT IT IS SAFER THAN DRIVING MY TRUCK WHICH CAN STALL AT ANY TIME NOW. AT THIS TIME, OUR CHILDREN ARE OUR FIRST PRIORITY AND WE WANT TO PREVENT ANY MISHAPS TO HAPPEN. WE DON'T WANT TO BE STRANDED WITH OUR FOUR CHILDREN. I HAVE MY TRUCK MAINTENANCED QUITE OFTEN BECAUSE I TAKE PRIDE IN DRIVING A NISSAN. I DON'T WANT TO MY EXPERIENCE FROM NISSAN TO GO FROM POSITIVE TO NEGATIVE. NISSAN, PLEASE LISTEN TO MY CONCERN AS WELL AS OTHERS. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY THE $3,000 DEDUCTIBLE YOU ARE ASKING FOR TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR REPLACED. WE ARE ON A FIXED INCOME AS MY HUSBAND IS THE ONLY BREAD-WINNER IN OUR HOME. PLEASE HELP.....

I'M CURRENTLY FINANCING A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER WHICH I PURCHASED JUNE 2012 AT 78000 MI. IN FEBRUARY OF 2014 I WENT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS OIL IN THE ANTIFREEZE COMPARTMENT. A FEW DAYS LATER I NOTICED THAT MY CAR "SHUTTERED"EVERY TIME I SHIFT GEAR TO REVERSE OR TO DRIVE. I NOTICED MY VEHICLE "LOSING POWER" WHEN I ACCELERATED. AT ONE INSTANCE I WAS DRIVING UP A HILL AND THE VEHICLE BASICALLY LOST POWER AND IT STARTED TO REVERSE BACKWARDS WITHOUT THE GEAR BEING SHIFTED INTO REVERSE. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE CAR WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKES AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. SCARIEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND I SENT IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A MANUFACTURED DEFECT WITH THE MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR. THE ENGINE COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO BECOME DAMAGED. AFTER MONTHS OF CALLING NISSAN NORTH AMERICA THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I FOUND THAT ABSURD SEEING THERE WAS A SETTLEMENT FOR THIS ISSUE MY CAR WAS EXPERIENCE. I ENDED UP PAYING $4000 TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION/RADIATOR AND OTHER ISSUES CAUSES BY THIS MANUFACTURED DEFECT THROUGH A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN APRIL 2014. A YEAR GOES BY AND I'M NOW I'M EXPERIENCING THE SAME "SHUTERRING" ISSUE WHEN SHIFTING GEARS AND I NOTICED THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING ONCE AGAIN. THIS IS MY FIRST EVER VEHICLE. IT'S ABSURD WHAT NISSAN HAS DONE. THERE HAS TO BE JUSTICE FOR NISSAN OWNERS. NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY A NISSAN MODELED CAR. NEVER!!!!!

BEWARE 2006 PATHFINDERS RADIATOR PROBLEMS THEN TRANSMISSION DIES. OUR TRANSMISSION WENT SUDDENLY AS WE WERE ON A MINI TRIP. WE GOT STUCK SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO GET HOME. VERY DANGEROUS. THANK GOD WE DID NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND NO ONE HIT US AS WE WERE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY. WE WERE LUCKY WE GOT HOME SAFELY BUT IT WAS A SCARY AND DANGEROUS EXPERIENCE. WE DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. WE THEN GET IT TOWED AND OF CAUSE ITS THE TRANSMISSION. SAME PROBLEM EVERYONE IS HAVING WITH THESE CARS. NISSAN SHOULD OF HAD THESE CARS RECALLED OR EXTENDED THE WARRANTIES SO THAT NO ONE HAS TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM AND GO THROUGH THE HELL WE WENT THROUGH ON OUR MINI TRIP TRYING TO GET HOME SAFELY. THEY ARE RISKING PEOPLE'S LIVES.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME MY RADIATOR LEAKED FLUIDS INTO TRANSMISSION AND BOTH NEED TO BE REPLACED. I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS REALLY TERRIBLE THEY WON'T ADMIT MANUFACTURERS FAULT IN THIS. SO NOW STILL HAVE TO MAKE PAYMENTS FOR THE CAR WE CAN'T EVEN DRIVE FOR ANOTHER 2 YEARS AND THE REPAIRS CAME AT OVER $7000. CAR IS A NECESSITY TO PEOPLE TO MAKE A LIVING FOR THEIR FAMILIES. WE HAVE 3 SMALL CHILDREN THAT HAVE TO GET TO SCHOOL AND DAYCARE SO THANKS NISSAN YOU LOST ANOTHER CUSTOMER. HOPE EVERYONE STOPS BUYING YOUR CARS.

MY CARS RADIATOR CRACKED AND LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE MIX OF COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID DAMAGED THE TRANSMISSION AND QUITE POSSIBLY DAMAGED MY ENGINE. NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THE RADIATOR BECAUSE THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON IT. THE REPAIRS FOR THIS INCIDENT ARE HIGH THE NISSAN DEALER I TOOK IT TO QUOTED ME $4,591.43 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR AND THAT IS WITH THE WARRANTY THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE ON IT. THE DEALER ALSO TOLD ME ANY OTHER DAMAGE CAUSED BY THIS FAULTY RADIATOR WOULD NOT BE COVERED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS TO ANY OTHER COMPONENTS AS WELL THEY TOLD THEY ME MIGHT BE AN ADDITIONAL $2,000 SO NEARLY $7,000. I HAD KNOW CHOICE BUT SELL THE CAR OFF AS SCRAP AS THE REPAIRS WOULD COST MORE THAN THE CAR ITSELF. A FAILURE OF ALL THESE PARTS AT ONCE IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO EVERYONE.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO RADIATOR HOSE LEAK. CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT MILAGE LIMITS EXCEEDED. I HAD THE CAR IN MULTIPLE TIMES THIS WAS NEVER DISCLOSED TO ME. VEHICLE PAID OFF 12/2012- FAILURE 3/2013. TOTAL COST FOR NEW TRANSMISSION/RADIATOR WAS 7,000.00. I HAD TO BORROW THE MONEY SINCE THIS VEHICLE WAS MY ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM WORK.

TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING ON THE WAY TO THE REPAIR SHOP TO GET IT LOOKED AT. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION, IT REFUSED TO GO INTO GEAR AND CAUSED ME TO SLOW DOWN CONSIDERABLY, RESULTING IN A NEAR ACCIDENT WITH THE CAR BEHIND ME AND THE CAR GOING AROUND ME. THE RADIATOR HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION, A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THIS PARTICULAR YEAR OF NISSAN PATHFINDER.
