AT AROUND 91000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SPORADICALLY STAYING IN 2ND GEAR AND WOULD JERK AT TIMES WHEN SHIFTING .FINALLY THE TRANSMISSION QUIT SHIFTING AT ALL OUT OF 2ND GEAR. AFTER INVESTIGATION WE FOUND COOLANT HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. WHICH CAUSED A CATASTROPHIC BREAKDOWN.

TRANSMISSION ISSUES LIKE EVERY OTHER NISSAN PATHFINDER OWNER HAS REPORTED.. SAME ISSUE, RADIATOR LEAKS INTO TRANSMISSION WITH NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER. HOW IN THE WORLD WAS THIS NOT A RECALL FROM NISSAN & THE NHTSA.. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD AND FORTUNATELY IN OUR SITUATION WE BARELY MADE IT TO OUR DESTINATION BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED... $ 6K LATER OUT OF POCKET WITH NISSAN REFUSING TO RECOGNIZE ANY TRANSMISSION OR RADIATOR ISSUES OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY.

WE PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER FROM CARMAX IN POMPANO BEACH FL IN 2012, DURING THAT TIME THE CAR HAD 55,000 MILES ON IT. WE ASK FOR THE HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THAT EVERYTHING WAS GOOD WITH NO ISSUES, HOWEVER A FEW YEARS LATER I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR BECAME INOPERABLE WITH MY 3 CHILDREN IN THE CAR WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC HE EXPRESSED TO ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND THAT THERE WAS EVEN A LAWSUIT, BUT THE COMPANY IS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING. WHEN I RESEARCHED THIS INFORMATION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THESE PARTICULAR VEHICLES HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANT ON THEM UP TO 100,000 MILE FOR A FAULTY RADIATOR THAT LEAKS INTO THE TRANSMISSION ULTIMATELY DESTROYING THE TRANSMISSION WHICH WAS THE CASE WITH US. WE WERE OUT OF A CAR FOR 2 MONTHS IN A RENTAL, MAXED OUT THE CREDIT CARD UP TO 1,600 WITH A 4,000 DOLLAR BILL TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION. THIS WAS A TREMENDOUS FINANCIAL HARDSHIP ON THE FAMILY. WHEN I WENT TO CARMAX AND ASKED THEM WHY THEY DID NOT DISCLOSE TO US THAT THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, THEY HAD NO REAL ANSWER FOR ME AND STATED THAT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS OVER 100,000 MILES THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. I FEEL THAT CARMAX WITHHELD INFORMATION ON THIS CAR AND ACCORDING TO THE STATE LAW IT IS REQUIRED THAT THEY INFORM CONSUMERS OF MANUFACTURE WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLES. SINCE THAT TIME THE CAR HAS HAD ADDITIONAL BREAKDOWN AND WE CAN NO LONGER PAY FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY.E TRAPPED IN A VEHICLE THAT WAS A LEMON FORM THE BEGINNING.

I STARTED HAVING THE PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER ON APRIL 6, 2017 WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. IT WAS SHUDDERING AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE WHEN I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR OR PUT IT IN REVERSE. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS BEFORE. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC 45 MIN. AWAY. LATER THAT DAY I LEARNED THAT THE RADIATOR HAD BROKEN AND THE WATER AND GONE INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND DESTROYED THE TRANSMISSION. SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD THAT SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR NISSAN SO I LOOKED ONLINE AND LO AND BEHOLD...THIS WAS A BIG ISSUE WITH NISSAN. THE NISSAN DEALER REFERRED ME TO CONSUMER AFFAIRS FOR NISSAN. THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED FROM MY REPAIR PERSON DOWN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO BE EVALUATED. CONSUMER AFFAIRS FOR NISSAN AGREED TO HAVE ME PAY $3,000 COPAY AND THEY WOULD PAY THE REST EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS 2 WEEKS PAST THE WARRANTY DATE AND IT WAS 13,000 MILES OVER. I, AS A CONSUMER, WAS NEVER NOTIFIED THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY CAR. IF I HAD, I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE REPLACED THE RADIATOR AT $800 INSTEAD OF THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FOR $5700. I AM STILL OUT $3,000 WHICH IS A HUGE AMOUNT AND TWO TOWS FOR MY VEHICLE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY FUEL TANK IS WARPED SO THE FUEL FLOAT SENSOR GETS STUCK MOSTLY ON EMPTY SO I CANT TELL HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE. EVEN AFTER I FILL THE FUEL TANK IT STILL TELLS ME I AM EMPTY. OCASIONALLY IF I HIT A BUMP AFTER FILLLING IT WILL SHOW THE CORRECT AMMOUNT OF FUEL. I AM AFRAID I WILL RUN OUT OF GAS, STALL AND GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE YEAR BEFORE MINE AND AFTER MINE WAS ALREADY RECALLED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM.

AT 80000 MILES TIMING CHAIN HAD TO BE REPLACED $2100.00 REPAIR THAT NISSAN WAS AWARE OF BEING A COMMON DEFECT . MY EXTENDED WARRANTEE COMPANY DID NOT COVER BECAUSE THEY SAID IT WAS A PRE - EXISTING PROBLEM. AT 82000 MILES RADIATOR TRANSMISSION COOLER LEAKED ANTIFREEZE INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSING FAILURE TO BOTH. ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT NISSAN WAS AWARE OF AND WOULD NOT PAY FOR A REPAIR FOR OVER $6000 BECAUSE THEY HAD NO RECALL
