2006 Nissan Pathfinder complaints

CAR STALLED AT RED LIGHT, SMOKING FROM HOOD TOOK TO MECHANICS ADVISED OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE, LEAKING BROWN STUFF. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A WEEKEND VACATION IN OCEAN CITY, MD WITH 2 OF MY CHILDREN IN MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. APPROXIMATELY 45 MINUTES INTO THE DRIVE ON ROUTE 1 IN DE, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY 'JUMPED' AND THEN SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND THEN PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IF NOT, WE COULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY ANY VEHICLES THAT WERE BEHIND US. FOR A BRIEF TIME, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO SLOWLY DRIVE IN 1ST GEAR AND PULL INTO A PARKING LOT OF A GAS STATION/CONVENIENCE STORE. I COULDN'T GET IT TO GO BACK INTO DRIVE AFTER THAT POINT. WE THEN HAD TO WAIT 2 1/2 HOURS TO BE PICKED UP BY MY HUSBAND. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP AND DIAGNOSED AS NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE PRICE QUOTED WAS EXTREMELY HIGH (PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY KNEW WE WERE OUT OF STATE), SO WE OPTED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO OUR TOWN OF RESIDENCE TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP. THE SHOP INDICATED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM MANY TIMES IN 2005-2007 NISSAN PATHFINDERS. THE RADIATOR CRACKS, AND THE COOLANT LEAKS INTO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH ENDS UP DESTROYING THE TRANSMISSION. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN DEFECT. $6000 LATER, I NOW HAVE A REPAIRED NISSAN PATHFINDER. NISSAN NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THESE KNOWN ISSUES. THEY ALSO NEED TO REIMBURSE CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THESE ISSUES AND HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET. *TR

I WAS ROLLING INTO A SPOT OFF THE PAVED ROAD ON TO A GRAVELED SPACE (PINE NEEDLES, ROCKS AND DIRT) IN ORDER TO MAKE A THREE POINT TURN. BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I JAMMED ON THE BRAKES BUT THE CAR KEPT ROLLING DOWN SLOWLY AND I CRASHED INTO A TREE. MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND I SUFFERED SOME MINOR BURNS AND BRUISING. THE VEHICLE SUFFERED MINOR BUMPER DAMAGE BUT WHY DID MY AIRBAGS DEPLOY AT ONLY 8 MILES PER HOUR. I AM AT A LOSS THAT THIS HAPPENED. I JUST ADDED NEW BRAKES THE WEEK BEFORE. BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON I 20 HWY IN ATL ! I WAS GOING TO PICKUP MY KIDS FROM SIX FLAGS AMUSEMENT PARK. I WAS DRIVING IN THE CENTER LANE, AND OUT OF THE CLEAR BLUE, MY CAR CUTOFF,AND INDICATED A SLIP LIGHT COME ON ! I WAS LUCKY THE CARS AROUND ME DID ALLOW ME TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ! WHEN I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO PULL OVER,I BEGAN TO START MY CAR BACKUP,AND SURPRISINGLY IT DID START BACKUP. I WAS ABLE TO PICKUP MY KIDS,AND I DID DRIVE NO FASTER THAN 60 MILES AN HOUR WHEN I DID TAKE MY DAUGHTER'S FRIENDS HOME ! THIS SURPRISE INCIDENT,COULD HAVE TAKEN MY LIFE EASILY ! THANKS TO OTHER DRIVERS BEING SURPRISINGLY ACCOMMODATING AND LETTING ME PULL OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT MY CAR HAVING ANY POWER ! *TR

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN JUNE 2011 FROM BENSON NISSAN IN SPARTANBURG, SC. I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS THESE VEHICLES WERE HAVING &OF COURSE IT WASN'T MENTIONED IN THE SALE. IT WAS ALREADY SLIGHTLY PAST THE 80,000 MILE WARRANTY (THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS OBVIOUSLY AWARE OF PROBLEMS) FOR THE RADIATOR. LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE I TOLD THE SALES PERSON &A MECHANIC THAT THE CAR WAS JERKING AT AROUND 60 MPH WHEN CHANGING GEARS. THE MECHANIC BLAMED ?BAD GAS? & ?ETHANOL? & ASSURED ME IT WASN'T THE TRANSMISSION. LESS THAN A MONTH LATER, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER?S &TOLD THEM THE CAR WAS STILL JERKING AT 60MPH &ASKED THEM ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION. THEY AGAIN TOLD ME THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR CONTINUED TO SHAKE WORSE WHEN SHIFTING &I CONTINUED TO CALL NISSAN &COMPLAIN. THE SALES PERSON EVEN OFFERED TO TRADE THE CAR IN FOR ME, BUT RENEGED WHEN HIS MANAGER DECLINED BECAUSE I ?GOT TOO GOOD OF A DEAL ON THAT CAR &(THEY) COULDN'T TRADE IT BACK.? THE SHAKING BEGAN TO GET WORSE &SPREAD TO LOWER GEARS &I ACCEPTED THE FACT THAT I WAS SOLD A LEMON. THROUGH ALL THIS, NO ONE AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP MENTIONED THE TRANSMISSION OR RADIATOR PROBLEM. I FOUND OUT ABOUT IT ONLY AFTER I BEGAN TO RESEARCH HOW TO REPAIR IT MYSELF &BY THEN ALL I COULD DO WAS PRAY. BARELY ONE YEAR AFTER PURCHASE WHILE ON THE WAY TO MY PARENT?S HOUSE WITH MY CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT, &WHILE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY, THE CAR STUCK IN 2ND GEAR. I BARELY GOT IT TO MY PARENT?S HO

OUR 2006 PATHFINDER HAD STARTED SHUTTERING IN THE TRANSMISSION ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE IT JUST GAVE OUT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP, WHO TOLD ME THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID HAD GOTTEN INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND RUINED IT. I DID SOME CHECKING ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. NISSAN HAS KNOWN THIS WAS A PROBLEM AND HAS NOT SENT ANY NOTICES OR RECALLS. I ALSO HAD ANOTHER PROBLEM RECENTLY WITH THE ECM RELAY, THAT LEFT IT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER RESEARCH FOUND THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED AND NO NOTICE WAS SENT OUT. I WAS THANKFUL THAT NISSAN REPLACED THE RELAY. WE HAVE CALL NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION, BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY WILL HELP DUE TO THE MILEAGE. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED WHEN IT WAS DISCOVERED WITH A NEW RADIATOR AND A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION SERVICE. *TR

DRIVING THE CAR AS I NORMALLY DO AND FELT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AND ACTING FUNNY CAR LOST POWER ON HWY TOOK TO AN AAMCO TRANSMISSIONS MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKED IN TO TRANSMISSION. SO TO GET IT FIXED HAD TO REBUILD TRANSMISSION,NEW TORQUE CONVERTER AND NEW RADIATOR. I SEE TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND NISSAN DOSE NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM YOU CALL THEM AND THEY BRUSH YOU OFF. MEAN WAIL EVERYONE IS SPENDING ANY-WARE FROM $5000 TO $7000. COULD THIS GET LOOKED IN TO? *TR

VEHICLE SHAKES AND TRANSMISSION SLIPPED WHEN DRIVING. DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. TOOK TO AMOCO AND TOLD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IS MIXING WITH THE RADIATOR AND BOTH FAILED. COST OVER $4,000 DOLLARS TO FIX OR IT IS UTTERLY USELESS - JUST OVER 82K MILES. INVESTIGATION SHOWS DANGEROUS TREND FOR SAFETY AND COMPLETE PRODUCT DEFECT, WITH YEARS OF FOREKNOWLEDGE BY NISSAN. DRIVING IS DANGEROUS SINCE THE VEHICLE DOESN'T ACCELERATE CONSISTENTLY AND STEERING VIOLENTLY SHAKES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN MANEUVERED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC FOR AN INSPECTION. SEVERAL DIAGNOSTIC CODES WERE PRODUCED DURING THE INSPECTION, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

KNOWN ISSUE WITH FUEL SYSTEM (NHTSA ID # 10V075000) NISSAN ACKNOWLEDGES PROBLEMS BUT PUT MILEAGE LIMIT ON DEALER PAID REPAIR. (APPROXIMATELY 1300 MILES OVER) APPARENTLY DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURE ISSUES HAVE TIME LIMITS REGARDLESS OF SAFETY ISSUE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS. INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS CAUSED DELAYS IN IDENTIFYING THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TIMETABLED,INACCURATE AND THEN FAILURE OF THE FUEL GAUGE. THIS IS A FAILURE OF BOTH NISSAN AND THE NHTSA TO ALLOW MILEAGE TO BE THE DETERMINING FACTOR IN LIMITING OUR SAFETY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD SHOW FUEL LEVELS THAT WERE INCONSISTENT WITH THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS DETERMINED TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A TRANSMISSION COOLANT LEAK. THERE WAS ALSO A FAULTY FUEL LEVEL FENDER, PROVIDING INCORRECT READINGS. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: AUXILLARY TANK) BUT WAS ADVISED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,667. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND NOTIFIED THEM OF SHUDDERING WHEN DRIVING IN EXCESS OF 40MPH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IS 'MILKY' AS A RESULT OF COOLANT MIXING IN WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID DUE TO A CRACK IN THE RADIATOR. ADVISED REPAIRS TO INCLUDE A TRANSMISSION COOLER WOULD BE IN EXCESS OF $8,000+. ALSO ADVISED THAT MILEAGE OF 91,033 VOIDED EXTENDED WARRANTY. (3 YEARS, 80,000 MILES) VEHICLE IS NON-OPERABLE DUE TO TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *TR

DROVE TO WAWA FOR GAS AND AS CAR WAS IDILING IT OVER HEATED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. GOT MY CAR HOME AND STARTED POKING AROUND ONLINE JUST TO FIND THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. THE RADIATOR CRACKED AND MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID. DON'T KNOW IF TRANSMISSION IS DESTROYED YET BUT TIME WILL TELL. HORRIBLE THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS. AND WHAT A HAZARD I HAD MY 3 CHILDREN IN CAR AND HAD TO TELL THEM NO BASEBALL FOR THEM. AND TOP IT OFF THERE WAS NO SIGNS OF ANY ISSUES AND CAR ONLY HAS 59,799 MILES ON IT. *TR

WHILE DOING REGULAR VEHICLE MAINTENANCE ON MY VEHICLE, FOUND COOLANT HAD LEAKED INTO MY TRANSMISSION FLUID. AS A RESULT OF FINDING THIS PROBLEM, AND NOT HAVING THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO FIX IT AT THE TIME, I STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A CONSISTENT BASIS FOR AROUND 18 MONTHS. I DID THE BEST I COULD TO FIX IT BY BYPASSING THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION COOLER UNDER THE RADIATOR AND FLUSHING THE TRANSMISSION OF CONTAMINATED FLUID. SINCE DISCOVERING THIS PROBLEM I HAVE DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 6,000 MILES, AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING BADLY AND WHEN IT SHIFTS, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY HARD. AS A RESULT OF THIS TRANSMISSION COOLER FAILURE I AM NOW LOOKING AT BEING FORCED TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION. *JS

2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. CONSUMER IS QUESTIONING WHY HER VEHICLE ISN'T INCLUDED IN NHTSA RECALL# 10E019000. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER WAS DRIVING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,568.

JUST PURCHASED 2006 PATHFINDER FROM LOCAL (JEEP/DODGE) DEALER. WAS LITERALLY DRIVING IT HOME FROM THE LOT WHEN I ENCOUNTERED VIBRATION AND NEAR LOSS OF CONTROL AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME AND AFTER CHECKING THE FLUIDS FOUND A MILKY WHITE (ATF?) FLUID IN THE COOLANT/RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE HAS 87500 MILES AND I'M BESIDE MYSELF RIGHT NOW. THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM SEEMS WILLING TO WORK WITH ME TO REMEDY THE SITUATION BUT I'M NOT SURE IF THEY'LL PAY FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR...? AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES OF INVESTIGATION ON THE INTERNET FOUND THE MASS OF FOLKS DEALING WITH THE SAME RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION FAILURE PROBLEM. I'VE GOT AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER THIS WEEK... WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. NHTSA PLEASE HELP THE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF NISSAN OWNERS DEALING WITH THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT! *TR

DRIVING BETWEEN 35-60 MPH MY 2006 PATHFINDER WAS SHAKING AS IF I WERE ON A RUMBLE STRIP. IT CONTINUED TO WORSEN AS THE WEEK PROGRESSED. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT BOTH FRONT AND REAR U-JOINTS WERE LOOSE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WITH ONLY 81000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE I ASKED IF THIS WAS PREMATURE FOR BOTH U-JOINTS TO FAIL AT THE SAME TIME. I WAS TOLD IT IS CONSIDERED "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR". THE COST OF REPLACEMENT WAS $1200. *TT

MY TRANSMISSION STARTED MAKING NOISES AND PROBLEM SHIFTING AT 60 MPH AND THE WHOLE VEHICLE START SHAKING. I HAD TO BRAKE AND REDUCED SPEED TO AVOID THE SHAKING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V690000 (AIR BAGS:FRONTAL) AND WAS REPAIRED. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED AFTER THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER A SECOND TIME. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT CUSHION WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF WATER DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

AT FIRST INCIDENT, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD START SLIPPING CAUSING A VIBRATION WHILE THE OVERDRIVE WAS ON, THE VIBRATION WOULD GO AWAY WHEN OUT OF OVERDRIVE. THEN THE CAR WOULD STALL WHEN YOU WOULD TRY TO TAKE OFF AT A STOP, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE UNTIL YOU WOULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND CRANK IT AGAIN. AS YOU WOULD PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. THEN EVEN WITH THE CAR OUT OF OVERDRIVE WHILE AT SPEEDS AT 55 MPH OR HIGHER THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT WORK, YOU WOULD HAVE TO LET OFF ON THE ACCELERATOR AND WAIT ON THE RPM'S TO DROP AND THEN IT WOULD GO INTO GEAR AGAIN.I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE ADVISED THE TROUBLE WAS IN A SOLENOID IN THE TRANSMISSION. I TOOK THE CAR TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP, THEY CHECKED THE FLUID AND SAID THERE WAS WATER IN THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, CAUSED BY A COOLANT LEAK FROM INSIDE OF RADIATOR GETTING INTO THE TRANSMISSION LINES CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO GO BAD DUE TO COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION. *JS

IN OCTOBER OF 2011, MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER BEGAN VIOLENTLY VIBRATING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I REACHED 60 MPH. SOMETIMES IT WOULD STOP WHEN I LET UP OFF THE GAS. OTHER TIMES IT WOULD CONTINUE TO SHAKE. AFTER REPEATED VISITS TO THE MECHANICS AND NEW TIRES, ROTATIONS, BRAKES AND BALANCING, WE DECIDED TO GO TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP. THEY DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS COOLANT THAT HAD MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. AS A MATTER OF FACT HE HAD 5 NISSAN PATHFINDERS ON HIS LOT WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. AFTER MULTIPLE SEARCHES, WE DISCOVERED THAT THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF ENTRIES OF PATHFINDER OWNERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. EVENTUALLY, THE CAR STARTED TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS! I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO NISSAN IN MY TOWN AND CONTACTED CORPORATE. I WILL BE FILING A CIVIL SUIT IF THEY DO NOT AGREE TO PAY AND FIX MY CAR THAT I HAVE HAD FOR ONLY 3 YEARS. *TR

AS HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY OUR 2006 PATHFINDER HAS BEEN FOUND TO HAVE ANTIFREEZE IN THE TRANSMISSION AND WE ARE NOW TOLD IT WILL TAKE 4500 DOLLARS TO FIX. THIS IS NO DOUBT A MANUFACTURES DEFECT AS THERE WAS NO WAY TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING OR KNOWING FOR SURE WHEN IT DID. THIS SUV HAS BEEN MAINTAINED BY PROFESSIONALS AND THEY DID NOT CATCH IT, I BELIEVE NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THIS BASED ON ACTIONS THEY HAVE TAKEN AND NOW SHOULD HAVE TO REPAIR THESE VEHICLES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT DISPLAY ACCURATE READINGS. THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN EMPTY READING WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS ACTUALLY FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE OR WILL DOWNSHIFT INCORRECTLY AND REDLINE, MAKING THE TIRES CHIRP AND ALMOST LOSE CONTROL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE TRANSMISSION COOLANT HAD ERRONEOUSLY LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THERE WAS A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL FOR THE FAILURE BUT THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE LIMIT FOR THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133,995.

MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER HAD BEEN HAVING FUEL GAUGE PROBLEMS FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. FINALLY AFTER THE ANNOYANCE BECAME TOO MUCH, WE TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER. WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE ASSEMBLY THAT INVOLVED A RECALL. UNFORTUNATELY FOR US, WE MISSED THE RECALL BY LESS THAN FOUR MONTHS. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT NISSAN KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM, THEN ARBITRARILY CHOSE A DATE WHEN THE RECALL WOULD END THAT WOULD SATISFY THE NHTSA, BUT NOT FULLY COVER THE PERIOD WHEN THIS PROBLEM COULD ARISE. LIMITING THIS RECALL BY DATE CAN PROVE TO BE EXTREMELY PREJUDICIAL TO THE CUSTOMER THAT PURCHASES THE VEHICLE LATER IN THE YEAR; FOR EXAMPLE, PURCHASING THE CAR IN NOVEMBER 2006 VERSUS JANUARY 2006 WOULD PLACE THE CONSUMER AT AN ELEVEN MONTH DISADVANTAGE. *TT

AFTER FILLING MY VEHICLE UP WITH FUEL, THE GAUGE STILL READ ONE QUARTER TANK, AND IT TOOK MOST OF THE DAY BEFORE THE GAUGE SLOWLY MOVED UP TO READ FULL. AFTER THAT, WHEN THE TANK WOULD REACH 1/2 FULL, THE GAUGE WOULD START ACTING CRAZY. ONE MINUTE IT WOULD READ 1/2 FULL, THE NEXT SECOND IT WOULD READ EMPTY AND MY GAS LIGHT WOULD COME ON. ALSO, AT HALF FULL DOWN TO ONE QUARTER FULL, THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WOULD COME ON. WHEN I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLE, I CALLED NISSAN TO INQUIRE, BUT WAS TOLD THAT DUE TO MY VIN # MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED. THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH MY FUEL GAUGE IS EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE RECALL COVERED, AND THE PARTS THAT I HAD TO HAVE REPLACED ARE THE SAME PARTS THAT THE RECALL COVERED. I HAD TO PAY $300 TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED, WHEN OBVIOUSLY THE PART COVERED IN THE RECALL WAS ALSO DEFECTIVE IN MY VEHICLE. (CAMPAIGN ID #/NHTSA #: PC042/10V-075; APPLIED VEHICLES 2006 & 2008 PATHFINDER, 2006 & 2008 FRONTIER, 2006 & 2008 XTERRA). *TR

MY TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE. MECHANIC SAID THE COOLING LINE CRACKED, WHICH ALLOWED RADIATOR FLUID TO ENTER THE TRANSMISSION AND DESTROY IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY LOOSE AND BEGAN TO SHAKE WITH AN EXCESSIVE VIBRATION. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY TWO DIFFERENT INDEPENDENT MECHANICS WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE STEERING COLUMN WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR A THIRD OPINION AND THEY ADVISED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SPIRAL CABLE KIT WOULD NEED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000. UPDATED 7/18/12 *CN THE U-JOINTS WERE REPLACED, BUT THE STEERING PROBLEM CONTINUED. UPDATED 07/31/12

I AM WRITING ABOUT MY RECENT EXPERIENCE WITH NISSAN REGARDING A RECALL ON MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER, WHICH I PURCHASED IN MAY OF 2008 AS A PRE-OWNED VEHICLE. THE RECALL WITH THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER OF 10V075000 INVOLVES A FLAW WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM NISSAN REGARDING THIS RECALL, WHICH NISSAN STATES IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE SOMETIME AGO.THREE WEEKS AGO I WAS DOING RESEARCH ONLINE TO TRY AND FIND A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM.THAT IS WHEN I DISCOVERED THE RECALL. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED ORR NISSAN IN BOSSIER CITY 318-752-3000, SINCE THAT IS THE DEALER THAT I PURCHASED THE PATHFINDER FROM. I SPOKE TO MIKE IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHO TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED, BECAUSE THE MILEAGE WAS OVER 72,000 MILES AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME AROUND $600 HAD I KNOWN ABOUT THE RECALL, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WITHIN THE MILEAGE SPECIFIED WHEN I CONTACTED THEM. I TOOK THE NEXT STEP AND CALLED NISSAN USA AT 1-800-647-7261 AND SPOKE TO [XXX] AT EXT#[XXX]. [XXX] TOLD ME THAT THE REASON I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED WAS DUE TO AN ERROR ON NISSAN'S PART, SINCE THEY NEVER ENTERED MY INFORMATION INTO THEIR COMPUTER SYSTEM DESIGNATING ME AS THE NEW OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. SO, THE NOTICE WAS SENT OUT TO THE PRIOR OWNERS WHOM LIVE IN ANOTHER STATE. AT THAT POINT SHE OPENED A CASE FOR ME WITH THE CASE #[XXX]. I WAS CONTACTED BY [XXX] FROM 1-800-343-6913 EXT#[XXX], WHO TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING

VEHICLE PROBLEM STARTED WITH ECM/IPDM POWER TRAIN WHICH STOOL ON ME. REPLACE FOR A COST OF $17-1800. I PAID ABOUT $1500-$1800 TO GET THE ECM FIXED AND IPDM REPLACED. I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE NEEDED 2FRONT CONVERTERS FOR A COST OF $2500. I CONTACTED NISSAN MANUFACTURERS AND EXPRESSES MY CONCERNED. NISSAN MANUFACTURERS DID NOT WANT TO PAY ATTENTION TO MY CONCERNS, BUT AFTER ABOUT 3-5MONTHS OF NON STOP COMPLAINING, NISSAN MANUFACTURERS ISSUED A RECALLED ON THE ECM AND REFUNDED MY MONEY, BUT REFUSES TO FIX MY CONVERTERS. IN MARCH 2011, I GOT A RECALLED NOTICED FROM NISSAN MANUFACTURERS ABOUT A LEAK OF COOLANT INTO TRANSMISSION, SO I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO DO THE REQUIRED INSPECTION AND CLAIMED THAT MY VEHICLE HAD MORE MILES THAN THE MANUFACTURERS REQUIRED MILE; AND YES, MY VEHICLE AT THAT TIME WAS NOT 5YEARS. TWO WEEKS LATER MY TRANSMISSION WENT INTO HEAVY SMOKE WITH A STRONG ROTTEN EGG ODOR WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I WAS TOLD THAT VALVE BODY INSIDE MY VEHICLE TRANSMISSION IS BURNED AND TO REPLACE IT FOR A COST OF ABOUT $3000+, AND SENSOR NEED TO BE REPLACE AS WELL AND THE 2 CONVERTERS. NISSAN GAVE ME A BILL OF OVER $5000. *TR

BACK IN NOVEMBER 2011 (A WEEK BEFORE THANKSGIVING) MY CAR STARTED TO ACT UP WHILE SHIFTING (SHIFTING HARD OR NOT SHIFTING). I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALER (BERTERA NISSAN OF AUBURN, MA) ON MY WAY TO WORK. THE MECHANICS THERE TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. THEY NEVER EVEN TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE. THE MILEAGE AT THE TIME WAS AROUND THE 80K. IN FEBRUARY TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC (ED'S AUTOMOTIVE, ELLINGTON CT) FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE (OIL CHANGE). I ASKED HIM TO CHECK IF I NEEDED A TRANSMISSION SERVICE SINCE I WAS AT 100K IN MILES. HE CHECKED THE FLUID AND TOLD ME THAT THE COOLANT WAS MIXED WITH MY TRANSMISSION FLUID AND TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER TO SEE IF IT WAS COVERED. HE INFORMED ME AT THAT TIME OF THE SERVICE BULLETIN THAT NISSAN HAS OUT. SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER THAT TOLD ME 4 MONTHS EARLIER THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG. THEY GAVE ME THE INFO TO FILE THE CLAIM AND CONFIRMED THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. I FILED AND WAITING FOR A RESPONSE. IT TOOK ABOUT A WEEK. WHEN I HEARD BACK FROM THE CUSTOMER LINE, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST ME WITH THE ISSUE. I CALLED BACK SEVERAL TIMES TO TRY TO REACH A DIFFERENT PERSON TO DISCUSS THIS. I WAS NEVER PUT THROUGH TO ANYONE ELSE. THE WOMAN ON THE PHONE TOLD ME THAT IF I DIDN'T LIKE THE OUTCOME TO CONTACT THE BBB AND FILE A CLAIM. THAT'S GREAT AND ALL, BUT THAT STILL DOES NOT FIX MY CAR. I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR, I'M PAYING $20K FOR IT. I WAS FINALLY CONTACTED BY THE NISSAN CORPORATE O

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND MAKING A TURN, THE STEERING SEIZED AND BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED THAT THE POWER STEERING SHAFT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 142,000.

MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER'S RADIATOR LEAKED ANTIFREEZE INTO MY TRANSMISSION FLUID. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT AND DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT. *JS

VERIFIED AT LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT RADIATOR COOLANT IS MIXING WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID WHICH CAUSES ROUGH SHIFTING AND CAR TO SHAKE AT CERTAIN SPEEDS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS CAR CAN SUDDENLY LOSE POWER/BREAK DOWN WHILE DRIVING. RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION NEED TO BE REPLACED. WE RECEIVED NISSAN'S EXTENDED WARRANTY (8 YR/80,000 MILES) ON RADIATOR LAST YEAR. CAR IS ONLY 800 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY, HOWEVER NISSAN WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF REPLACING THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. NISSAN NEEDS STAND BY ITS PRODUCT AND ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. *JS

I PURCHASED MY "CERTIFIED PRE-OWN" 2006 PATHFINDER WITH ONLY 37,000 MILES ON IT AND I PROPERLY MAINTAINED IT. DECEMBER 2010 I NOTICED THAT MY TRUCK WOULD LOSE POWER AND SPUTTER WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED BETWEEN 40 TO 60 MPH, AND THAT IT WOULD ALSO "TREMBLE OR SHAKE" WHILE SHIFTING GEARS. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT SERVICED AND TUNED UP. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE BOTH REPLACED. I COULDN'T SEE STRAIGHT! I ASKED THE SERVICE TECH WHY IN THE HELL I WOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION ON A VEHICLE WITH JUST OVER 100,000 MILES AND THAT I'M STILL PAYING FOR NO LESS. THE TECH SUGGESTED THAT THE TRANSMISSION COULD BE "SAVED" AND I WOULD STILL HAVE TO BUY A NEW RADIATOR AND OTHER PARTS. A YEAR LATER- 03/12 MY TRUCK IS BEHAVING THE SAME WAY SO INSTEAD OF RETURNING TO THE DEALER I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST. WHEN I INFORMED HIM OF MY PROBLEM HE ASKED IF I HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE RADIATOR, AS A MATTER A FACT I TOLD HIM I HAD IT REPLACED A YEAR AGO BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. HE INFORMED ME THAT HE'S HAD A NUMBER OF PATHFINDER OWNERS COMING TO HIS SHOP ABOUT THIS VERY PROBLEM, AND INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN. I FOUND THE LAWSUIT ON THE WEB AGAINST NISSAN AND SINCE CONTACTED THE ATTORNEY AND JOINED IN THE LAW SUIT. UP UNTIL THE MOMENT I HAD THIS PROBLEM I WAS A LOYAL NISSAN OWNER, EVEN BACK TO THE DAYS WHEN MY FATHER OWNED A DATSUN AND IT BEC

RADIATOR IS LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION, MECHANIC EXPLAIN THAT IT WOULD COST $5500.00 TO FIX AND THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN, IS A MANUFACTURE DEFAULT. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR VIBRATES AND IF YOU STOP AT TRAFFIC LIGHT AND TRY TO PROCEED DRIVING IT ACTS AS IF IT HAS NO POWER AND IT DOESN'T WANT TO PULL. TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN AND THEY SAID THE RADIATOR HAD LEAKED COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION, AND BOTH HAS TO BE REPLACED ABOUT $7000. THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

MY VEHICLE STARTED (MAR 2010) TO VIBRATE AT BETWEEN 45 AND 65 MPH, IT FELT LIKE I WAS GOING OVER A RUMBLE STRIP. BROUGHT IT TO DEALER THEY DIAGNOSED A BAD UNIVERSAL JOINT. TEN MONTHS (JAN 2011) LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN, ADDITIONALLY CAR WAS SHIFTING POORLY AND FELT LIKE IT COULDN'T FIND THE CORRECT GEAR BETWEEN 45 AND 65 MPH, DEALER SAID I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. WHEN THEY DROPPED THE DRIVESHAFT THEY SAID IT WAS JUST A UNIVERSAL JOINT BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION AND THE DRIVESHAFT. THE PROBLEM RECURRED IN MAR 2012, BROUGHT VEHICLE TO LOCAL MECHANIC (VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY) WHO CONSULTED A TRANSMISSION SHOP. WAS TOLD THAT RADIATOR FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION THROUGH A FAULTY HOSE/LINE IN THE RADIATOR AND VEHICLE NOW NEED A TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL AND NEW RADIATOR. I AM CONCERNED THAT TRANSMISSION COULD FAIL CATASTROPHICALLY ON HIGHWAY LEADING TO AN ACCIDENT AND INJURY. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO LEAK FROM RADIATOR. NISSAN WANTS $6,400 TO REPAIR AND ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED MANUFACTURE DEFECT! *TR

NOTICED HESITATION IN LOWER GEARS WITH MINOR VIBRATION. SENT THE PATHFINDER FOR AN EARLY SERVICE TO HAVE THEM LOOK IT OVER. EXPLAINED TO THEM THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING. THEY TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND DID NOT NOTICE ANY PROBLEM. THEY CHECKED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. IT WAS FINE. THEY RECOMMENDED MAYBE REPLACING THE SPARK PLUGS WOULD HELP. IT DID NOT HELP. ONE WEEK LATER THE VIBRATION WAS LONGER AND MORE VIOLENT. DISCOVERED ONLINE THAT PEOPLE WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE OIL COOLER. I CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND IT WAS OVER FULL AND GRITTY. THE RADIATOR WAS LOW AND HAD OIL IN IT FROM THE TRANS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY COULD REPAIR IT FOR $750-$7,000. I HAD THEM DO 95% OF ALL THE SERVICES AND I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW FROM NISSAN. 6 YEARS LATER MY VEHICLE IS WORTHLESS. *TR

WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE, MY VEHICLE SHAKES AND THE SPEED DOES NOT INCREASE. I HAD THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT AND I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IS MIXING WITH THE RADIATOR. THERE IS A PURPLE SLIME UNDER THE RADIATOR CAP AND THERE IS CORROSION UNDER THE CAP OF THE OVERFLOW. THIS WILL COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX WHICH I CAN'T AFFORD. TRYING TO MERGE IN WITH TRAFFIC IS DANGEROUS SINCE THE VEHICLE DOESN'T ALWAYS ACCELERATE. *KB

IT STARTED FEELING LIKE I WAS DRIVING OVER THE BUMPS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TOOK MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER TO THE DEALER AND I HAD THE RADIATOR LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH NISSANS AND THEY ARE NOT RECALLING THE PROBLEM. THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 80,000 MILES; UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE 95,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK. IT WOULD HAVE COST ME APPROXIMATELY $1,000 TO FIX THE RADIATOR, MORE THAN 5000 TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

FUEL SENDING UNIT ..... TANK READS 1/4 TO 1/3 TO EMPTY ON PANEL AND RUNS OUT OF GAS ....WHILE DRIVING GAUGE FLUCTUATES TO FULL HALF AND NONE AFTER FILING UP AND CONTINUES TO DO SO NO MATTER HOW MUCH FUEL ...... DIGITAL READING SAYS 0 TO 30 TO 120 TO 300 MILES AFTER FILLING UP ... CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON GIVING A ERROR CODE FOR FUEL SENDER.... THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER FOR THIS ISSUE BUT NISSAN STATES THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL IN THE RECALL ...... VEHICLE WAS MANU 05/06... AND HAS THE SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALL FOR 80,000 OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES MADE THE SAME YEAR...NISSAN WANTS ME TO PAY 98.00 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC WHEN I'VE HAD ONE DONE BY A AUTO SHOP AND THE CODE MATCHES THE FUEL SENDING UNIT.... NISSAN STATES THEY ARE UNSURE IF THEY WILL COVER THE FUEL SENDER OR ASSIST IN REPAIRDUE TO THE FACT MY 06 PATHFINDER WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS RESISTANT TO ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT COOLANT LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION AND THE FLUID FROM THE TRANSMISSION LEAKED INTO THE RADIATOR. THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD BOTH NEED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 92,200. UPDATED 04/27/12*LJ

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS REPAIRED BY TED RUSSEL NISSAN ON 9/24/2010. THEY INSTALLED 25060-ZZ00A : GAUGE ASSY TANK INSTALLED 17342-EA" PACKING FUEL GAUGE TOTAL COST WITH LABOR 466.08 ON 1/6/2012 I WENT TO RICKS SERVICE CENTER BECAUSE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN FOR A MONTH REPAIRS WERE PCM DIAGNOSTIC TEST & DATA VAPOR CANISTER VALVE REPLACED R&R CANISTER VENT CONTROL VALVE REPLACED TOTAL COST 215.17. *TR

THE RADIATOR COLLING PUMP CRACKED CAUSING THE COOLING FLUID TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND MIX WITH THE TRANSMISSSION FLUID IN RETURN A NEW RADIATOR DRIVE UNIT AND TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE TORQUE CONVERTER. *TR

THE COOLER RADIATOR OPENED AND ALLOW THE COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID TO MIX, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION UNIT.. *TR

ON TUESDAY FEB 14, 2012 I TOOK MY CAR IN CAUSE IT HAD A RECALL FOR THE GAS GAUGE NOT READING GAS LEVEL. MY CAR WAS READING CHECK ENGINE SOON, CAR WAS WORKING PERFECT THEY PUT THE COMPUTER ON AND NOTHING CAME UP AS THE CAR HAVING ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. EVEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD TURNED OFF. ON FRIDAY FEB 17, 2012 WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY MY CAR COMPLETELY TURNED OFF AND WOULD NOT START AT ALL I HAD SOMEONE HELP ME PUSH THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHERE THEN I FINALLY GOT IT TO START AGAIN. CALLED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THEY CAN SEND A TOW TRUCK TO BRING IT INTO THE DEALER BUT IF HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WORK THAT WAS DONE I HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TOW. THE PERSON AT THE DEALER THAT I SPOKE TO SAID THAT ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION I WAS GIVING HIM OF THE PROBLEM IT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE WORK BUT HE COULDN'T BE SURE. ON SAT FEB 18, 2012 I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALER, NOW THEY TELL ME THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CRACKER SYSTEM OF THE CAR WAS BAD BECAUSE WHEN THEY CHANGED THE FUEL GAUGE THERE'S MORE ELECTRICITY IS GOING IN AND THAT WAS THE PROBLEM I HAD TO PAY 300.46 FOR SOMETHING THAT I WAS NOT TOLD COULD HAPPEN IF I FIXED SOMETHING THAT WASN'T GIVEN ME ANY REAL PROBLEMS BEFORE. NOW THE CAR IS SAYING CHECK ENGINE SOON AGAIN AND THE TRUTH IS I'M AFRAID TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER. I'VE HAD THAT CAR FOR 6 YEARS NEVER, EVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND NOW DIFFERENT THINGS ARE COMING UP. *TR
