2007 Nissan Pathfinder complaints

RADIATOR FAILURE ALLOWED COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION BOTH THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR NOW NEED TO BE REPLACED. NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME AND HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL. OUR VEHICLE DROPPED INTO 1ST GEAR WHILE DRIVING AND NEARLY RESULTED IN US GETTING REAR ENDED.

CAR GAS GAGE IS STUCK ON EMPTY, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A FULL TANK OF GAS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. NISSAN SAYS I NEED A NEW FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 15 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO REVERSE AND SHIFTED THE GEAR SHIFTER INTO REVERSE BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE BACKWARDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTAMINATION DUE TO ANTI FREEZE FROM THE RADIATOR. THE TECHNICIAN ALSO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR JUST STOP SHIFTING GEARS, DEALER ADVISE THAT FAILED TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER LOCATED IN THE RADIATOR ASSEMBLY THAT ALLOWED COOLANT TO MIX WITH AND CONTAMINATE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID, RESULTING IN DAMAGED INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS AND A DAMAGED INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COMPUTER. READING ONLINE THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT NISSAN DOESN'T WARN THERE CUSTOMERS ABOUT THIS DEFECT. SOMEONE COULD GET HURT OR DIE BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT.

WHEN DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY DOING ABOUT 60 MPH OUR VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN WHEN I WAS ABOUT 3 OR 4 MILES FROM HOME AROUND 8:40 PM. I STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. THE ENGINE SOUNDED OK BUT THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO GO VERY FAST. SINCE I HAD NO PHONE AND I AM HANDICAPPED AND UNABLE TO WALK VERY FAR AND HAD A LOT OF PERISHABLE FOOD TO CARRY AND MY WIFE AND 9 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. I TRIED TO DRIVE HOME SINCE WE DON'T HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE. I BARELY MADE IT TO THE DRIVEWAY WHERE THE CAR SITS UNTIL I CAN GET A LOAN TO FIX OR BUY ANOTHER CAR. I ONLY HAVE 145,000 MILES ON THE CAR, I USUALLY GET 300 TO 400 THOUSAND MILES BEFORE I GET RID OF THEM.. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF A RECALL AND I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW FROM A DEALERSHIP. I AM PRETTY SURE IT'S THE TRANSMISSION BUT UNTIL I GET FUNDS I CANNOT PUT IT IN THE SHOP OR REPLACE IT.THIS IS FRIDAY THE DAY AFTER THE BREAKDOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY JERKED FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND ANTI FREEZE MIXED TOGETHER AND THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

RADIATOR CRACKED AND WATER WENT INTO THE OIL AND IT MIXED....PER REP AND MECHANIC AT NISSAN DEALER. PROBLEM CAUSED BY RADIATIOR NOT BEING BUILT PROPERLY AT FABRIC. THIS PROBLEM CAUSED VEHICLE TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHILE DRIVING. VERY UNSAFE.

COOLANT AFT CROSS CONTAMINATION IN THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR.

MY PATHFINDER BROKE DOWN DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILING WHILE DRIVING. I WAS JUST PULLING INTO MY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AND HAD TO KILL AND RESTART THE TRUCK TO GET IT TO MAKE IT INTO THE DRIVEWAY. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY NISSAN, WHERE THERE'S A CRACK THAT ALLOWS THE RADIATOR COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID TO MIX, CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. THIS IS EXTREMELY WRONG THAT A CONSUMER MUST PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A KNOWN AND ACKNOWLEDGED FLAW IN THE MANUFACTURER'S DESIGN.

MY WIFE WAS TAKING THE KIDS TO SCHOOL AND WHILE DRIVING IN THE DROP OFF LINE HEARD A LOUD "THUNK". WE HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND PAY THE $99.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO FIND OUT THAT THE RADIATOR LEAKED COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH CAUSED TRANSMISSION FAILURE. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT NISSAN IS NOT ADDRESSING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS ACTIVATED, THE VEHICLE BARELY MOVED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS CROSS CONTAMINATION OF RADIATOR FLUID THAT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

AS MANY OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS FILED, MY TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED DAMAGED BY THE FLOW OF OTHER FLUIDS. WITHOUT WARNING, AFTER STARTING MY VEHICLE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE OFF, MY VEHICLE WOULD BARELY DRIVE, TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT.....O/D OFF LIGHT ONAND WOULD NOT GO OFF. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE MECHANIC I WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION AS WELL AS THE RADIATOR WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AS OTHER FLUIDS HAS FLOWED OVER INTO MY TRANSMISSION, THEREFORE DAMAGING IT.......SEEMINGLY THE WAY THE VEHICLE WAS BUILT.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2007 AS OUR 2ND NEW NISSAN .OUR FIRST WAS A 2005 FRONTIER WITH NO PROBLEMS AND NOW THIS. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IT SLIPS WHEN ACCELLERATING AND SOMTIMES WONT DOWN SHIFT PROPERLY. SO DUE TO THE PROBLEM I DID A WEB SEARCH AND FOUND THIS CRACKED TRANSMISSION LINE ALLOWING COOLANT LEAK IN TO THE TRANSMISSION, SO I CHECKED THE RESEVOUR AND RADIATOR AND BOTH HAD ATF CONTAMINATION. I THEN CALLED THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I COULD BE TALKING ABOUT. THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED IN LATE 2012 STATED THAT ALL DEALERS WERE NOTIFIED. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED AND NOW HAVE OVER 100,000 MILES ON MY PATHFINDER WHICH OPTS ME OUT OF ANYTHING. THIS IS REDICULOUS AND NISSAN NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE! THEY NEVER EVEN ADMITED THERE WAS A PROBLEM JUST OFFERED SOME EXTENDED WARRENTY COVERAGE ABSOLUTELY ABSURD! NOW IM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE I CANT EVEN DRIVE.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 PATHFINDER WITH MY 3 CHILDREN IN THE BACK WHEN THE TIRES SUDDENLY SEEMED TO BE SLIPPING. I WASN'T SURE WHAT WAS GOING ON UNTIL I WAS ON A BIG HILL AND CAR SUDDENLY WOULDN'T GO INTO GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION HAD BLOWN ON ME, ALMOST INSTANTANEOULSY WITH LITTLE TO NO WARNING SIGNS. THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS ON THE HILL AND LUCKILY NOBODY WAS BEHIND US. I HIT THE BREAKS AND STOPPED THE CAR. IT HAD TO BE TOWED AND I WAS STUNNED WHEN MY MECHANIC SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEAD AND IT WOULD COST AROUND 3K TO FIX! "THERE WAS ONLY 85K MILES ON THE CAR AND THE TRANSMISSION JUST BLOWS LIKE THAT," I ASKED HIM? HE TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM VERY COMMON WITH SOME NISSAN CARS. I IMMEDIATELY WENT ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN PATHFINDERS AND XTERRAS, DUE TO FAULT MANUFACTURING AND A LAWSUIT WAS BROUGHT UP AGAINST THEM (A FEW YEARS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED TO ME). I FEEL IT'S OUTRAGEOUS THAT THESE CARS CAN STILL BE SOLD BY THE DEALER (WE BOUGHT IT USED WITH 60K MILES ON IT) WITHOUT SOME SORT OF WARNING LABEL ON IT. THANK GOD MY KIDS DIDN'T GET HURT SOMEHOW, BECAUSE IT WAS QUITE A HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILS SUDDENLY AT THE TOP OF A BIG, LONG HILL! IF MY KIDS HAD GOTTEN HURT, I PROBABLY COULD HAVE SUED THEM FOR A BILLION DOLLARS, BUT SINCE I ACTED QUICKLY, NOBODY WAS HURT, AND THUS, NOBODY AT NISSAN SEEMED TO CARE WHEN I COMPLAINED. THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR FAULT MANUFACTURING! NO CAR'S TRANSMISSIONS SUDDEN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE RPMS INCREASED RAPIDLY AND THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND FAILED TO SHIFT INTO THE REVERSE POSITION PROPERLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 144,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS FRACTURED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED, THE FUEL WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND THE ANTI-FREEZE HAD MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CAUSING IT TO LEAK ONTO THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

RADIATOR LEAKED ANTI-FREEZE INTO THE TRANSMISSION WHICH DESTROYED THE TRANSMISSION AND THE ENTIRE COOLANT SYSTEM. NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS BUT NEVER ISSUED A RECALL.

AS I WAS ABOUT TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE LOST POWER, I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO GET OFF THE ON RAMP AND BACK TO THE FRONTAGE ROAD BEFORE MY CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. TOOK TO A REPAIR STATION WHERE IT WAS FOUND THE RADIATOR FAILED AND ALLOWED FLUID TO MIX WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. TRANSMISSION IS A COMPLETE LOSS, ALTHOUGH THE COST OF REPAIR ($5200) IS TROUBLING, THE FACT THAT MOMENTS LATER MY FAMILY AND I COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR CAUSED SOMEONE ELSE TO BE INJURED IS THE BIGGER ISSUE. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS DEFECT AND FEEL THE NHTSA SHOULD TAKE A BETTER LOOK INTO MAKING THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. AT SOME POINT SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE FROM THIS. NISSAN HAS MADE A VERY UN-REASONABLE ATTEMPT TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30-35 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE AS THE VEHICLE MOVED UP AND DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE BRAKES AND ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER STARTED SLIPPING SO I HAD IT LOOKED AT AND FOUND OUT THE COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE 118,000 MILES ON IT AND UNFORTUNATELY IT LOOKS LIKE I AM OUT OF LUCK. I AN VERY DISAPPOINTED IN NISSAN SINCE THEY KNOW THE FAILURE DOES NOT OCCUR UNTIL ABOUT 90,000 MILES.

FOUND OUT THAT MY RADIATOR HAD A FAILURE AND A TRANSMISSION HOSE CRACKED INSIDE THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID ALL MIXED UP TO INVADED BOTH THE MOTOR COOLING SYSTEM AND THE TRANSMISSION.. DONT WANT TO GO IN GEAR WHEN TURNING AND IT MAKE THIS RUMBLING NOSE WHEN YOU DRIVING IT

CAR HAD BEGUN SHUTTERING AND ENGINE WOULD REV REAL FAST. ON PARTICULAR DAY CAR ACTUALLY QUIT WORKING FOR GOOD, HUSBAND HAD PULLED INTO PARKING SPACE BECAUSE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND FROM THAT POINT FORWARD THE CAR WILL NOT CRANK. WHEN CAR FIRST STARTED SHUTTERING AND REVVING, CAR WAS TAKEN TO TRANSMISSION BUSINESS AND THERE WERE SEVERAL CARS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL (NOT CERTAIN THAT ALL WERE OF SAME YEAR) WAITING TO HAVE TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED BECAUSE COOLANT HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND GRADUALLY KILLED THEM. WORKER AT TRANSMISSION SHOP KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS GOING ON WHEN HUSBAND EXPLAINED WHAT THE CAR WAS DOING, AND SAID THERE WERE MANY PEOPLE WHO HAD HAD THE SAME COMPLAINT.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN THE TRUCK STARTED TO OVER HEAT AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP OUT OF OVER DRIVE. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED AT AN AUTO PARTS STORE. I PULLED THE TRANSMISSION DIP STICK. IT WAS MILKY. I ALSO FOUND THE COOLANT OVERFLOW WAS BUBBLING OUT A MIX OF MILKY FLUIDS. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL GARAGE AND THEY EXPLAINED THE ISSUE. THE RADIATOR HAD FAILED AND BLEW APART INSIDE, WHICH CREATED AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION LINE INSIDE THE RADIATOR. THE COOLANT MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE GARAGE REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THIS COST ME $650. THE TRANSMISSION WASN'T RIGHT FROM THIS POINT ON. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I HAVE REPLACED THE RADIATOR THIS TIME MYSELF AND TOOK IT TO THE GARAGE TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED. AT THIS POINT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS INTO EVERY GEAR AND WILL CONTINUOUSLY SLIP IF ITS IN OVERDRIVE. THE CAR IS UN DRIVABLE AND HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW. TRANSMISSIONS FOR THIS CAR ARE OVER $2500 AND I JUST CANT AFFORD TO PUT ONE INTO IT

ON JULY 31, 2015 MY CAR JERKED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. BY THE TIME I GOT IT TO THE SHOP (ABOUT 45 MIN LATER) IT WAS HAVING TROUBLE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. WHEN I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF WE COULD NOT GET IT RESTARTED. THE SHOP SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THE COMPUTER. I HAD IT TOWED TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND MY CAR HAD THE SAME ISSUE AS OTHER NISSANS. THE COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION RESULTING IN THE COMPUTER SHORTING OUT. I NOW HAVE TO PAY $4,200 TO HAVE THE RADIATOR REPLACED, THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT AND THE ENGINE FLUSHED. IF NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL FOR THIS. FROM WHAT I AM READING ONLINE THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES WITH THIS ISSUE.

MY SUV WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A DEFECTIVE RADIATOR AND NOW HAS ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION COOLER PIPES SPLITTING CAUSING CROSS CONTAMINATION BETWEEN THE RADIATOR COOLANT & TRANSMISSION FLUID. WHICH RESULTED IN A FAILURE TO THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE CROSS CONTAMINATION HAD TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION, TRANSMISSION COOLER HOSES & RADIATOR REPLACED. READING MULTIPLE SITES IT APPEARS NISSAN KNOW ABOUT THE DEFECT AND DIDN'T WARN IS CUSTOMERS, EVEN WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO GET SERVICED AT THE NISSAN DEALERS. THIS IS BAD BUSINESS AND CUSTOMERS SHOULD NOT BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. I HOPE THE PERSON READING THIS HAS THE COURAGE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. IT APPEARS THAT CORPORATIONS HAVE THE POWER. THANK YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION EXHIBITED SEVERE VIBRATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION TWICE. THE FAILURE CONTINUED AFTER THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE MECHANIC RECOMMENDED THAT THE TRANSMISSION BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

TRANSMISSION FAILED DUE TO COOLANT LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION. HAD MY WHOLE FAMILY WHEN TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT DON'T WANT TO IMAGE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS GOING FASTER THAN 35 MPH. COST TO REPAIR $5800. DANGEROUSLY UNACCEPTABLE.

AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY IT STARTED TO SHUDDER AND SHAKE AND THEN FINALLY COMPLETELY TURNED OFF ON THE HIGHWAY. ONCE I GOT IT STARTED AGAIN IT WOULD ONLY GO ABOUT 20MPH I WAS ABLE TO MOVE OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND EXIT THE HIGHWAY. ONCE WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD US THAT THE RADIATOR HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND ALSO THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE TWO CATALYCTIC CONVERTERS. THE TOTAL REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS WOULD COST ME $8000 AS I WOULD ALSO NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. WE REPLACED THE RADIATOR BUT OF COURSE THAT IS ONLY HALF THE PROBLEM. I STILL OWE ABOUT $13K ON THE VEHICLE, HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR 8 MONTHS AND AM NOW STUCK BECAUSE I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND I CANT GET RID OF THE TRUCK KNOWING THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING INTO THE RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT IT WAS MOTOR OIL LEAKING INTO THE RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

07 PATHFINDER (PF) AUTO, 05/30/15 CAME OUT TO FIND PF LEAKING. RADIATOR LEAKING AN ODD FLUID, OPENED TRANSMISSION CAP AND SIMILAR FLUID BUBBLED OUT. DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR, LOOKED ONLINE/CALLED MECHANIC. FINALLY CALLED A NISSAN DEALER AND 2 TRANSMISSION PLACES, AND AS SOON AS I SAID OUR COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID ARE FROTHY & CHOCOLATE MILK LIKE EVERY PLACE KNEW WE NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR, ETC. A YEAR AGO I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AT A NON-NISSAN DEALERSHIP, AND BROUGHT IT BACK THEN BECAUSE I NOTICED A LAG/SHUTTER IN THE SHIFTING SOMETIMES. THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, SAID IT WAS JUST A FUNCTION OF THE OVERDRIVE, AND NOT AN ISSUE. I HAVE CONTINUED TO HAVE A LAG/SHUTTER OCCASIONALLY, BUT I HAVE THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. I WAS NEVER INFORMED THAT MY TRANSMISSION COULD BE COMPROMISED BC OF THE RADIATOR ISSUE, & NEVER THOUGHT THE CAR TO BE A DANGER TO ANYONE. MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND 2015, LESS THAN A WEEK BEFORE THE LEAK REFERENCED ABOVE, I HAD MY ENTIRE FAMILY IN THE CAR (SISTER & HER HUSBAND & THEIR 9 MONTH OLD BABY, MY FATHER, MY BROTHER & HIS 5 MONTHS PREGNANT WIFE) & NOTICED THE CAR WAS HAVING MORE THAN NORMAL SHIFTING TROUBLED & A LONGER LAG. WE WERE MAKING OUR ANNUAL TRIP TO THE BOURNE MASSACHUSETTS VETERANS CEMETERY MEMORIAL DAY EVENT, WHICH REQUIRES CROSSING THE BOURNE BRIDGE AND NAVIGATING SEVERAL BUSY ROTARIES. LOOKING ONLINE AT OTHER PERSONS EXPERIENCES, I KNOW I AM LUCKY THAT THIS RADIATOR/TRANS ISSUE MANIFESTED IN THE SAFETY OF MY DRIVEWAY WITH N

RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSING PERMANENT TRANSMISSION FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS AND THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND THE RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

I WAS JUST INFORMED BY A FELLOW NISSAN OWNER ABOUT HER TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. WHY WAS I NOT NOTIFIED BY NISSAN THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE? NO CARD, LETTER... NOTHING! I WOULD HAVE HAD MY CAR INSPECTED FOR DEFECT IF I KNEW!!

BEGINNING IN NOVEMBER 2014, THE HEATER WOULD NOT BLOW OUT WARM OR HOT AIR IF THE CAR WAS NOT TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE. AT SPEEDS BELOW 50MPG, ONLY COOL OR COLD AIR WOULD BLOW OUT OF THE HEATER VENTS AND AT AN IDLE, ONLY COLD AIR WOULD BE EMITTED. THE RADIATOR WAS FLUSHED THREE TIMES IN AN EFFORT TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM. OUR MECHANIC THOUGHT THERE COULD BE A BLOCKAGE IN THE LINE DUE TO THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. ONCE FLUSHED, THE HEAT WOULD WORK FOR ABOUT 45 DAYS. THERE WERE MONTHS OF MY DRIVING TO WORK WITHOUT ANY REAL HEAT IN THE WINTER OF 2014. AFTER FLUID CHANGES AND RADIATOR FLUSHES, THE 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER NOW HAS 111,000 MILES ON IT. THE AIR CONDITIONING IS WORKING THIS SUMMER, BUT TOWARDS THE END OF MAY 2015, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED "JUMPING". THIS USUALLY OCCURS AROUND 40-45 MPH. THE ENGINE WILL REV AT A HIGH RPM WHILE TRAVELING DOWN AN INCLINE OR A HILL. THE TRANSMISSION FEELS AS THOUGH IT IS "GOING OUT" AND UPON READING REVIEWS ON YOUR SITE, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN YOU CAN HEAR THE TRANSMISSION "CLUNK" INTO GEAR WHEN STARTING OR STOPPING THE ENGINE.

WE PURCHASED OUR 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER ON MAY 21 OF THIS YEAR. TODAY MAKES 39 DAYS WE'VE HAD IT. ON THE 32 DAY WE NOTICED IT WAS HAVING SOME ROUGHNESS IN THE TRANSMISSION WHEN CHANGING GEARS. IT FELT LIKE WE WERE RUNNING OVER REALLY ROUGH ROADS OR RUMBLE STRIPS. IT CONTINUED TO GET WORSE THE LONGER WE DROVE IT. THEN AROUND A WEEK AGO I PUT IT IN REVERSE AND IT CONTINUED TO ROLL FORWARD. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE HOME TO INFORM MY HUSBAND. WHEN HE CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IT APPEARED TO BE EMPTY. WHEN HE FURTHER CHECKED IT AND CLEANED THE DIP STICK IT WAS A TANISH COLORED LIQUID THAT WAS SHOWING UP. I WENT TO GOOGLE AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHERS WITH THIS SAME OR SIMILAR VEHICLE WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, AND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A LEAK IN A RADIATOR HOSE THAT RUNS THRU THE TRANSMISSION AND LEAKS FLUIDS BACK AND FORTH. MY HUSBAND WENT TO CHECK THE RADIATOR AND SURE ENOUGH THERE IS TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE RADIATOR AND IT APPEARED IN THE ENGINE AS WELL. SO NOW WE HAVE TRANSMISSION FLUID, WATER, AND ANTIFREEZE IN OUR TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR AND ENGINE. NISSAN NEEDS TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. ITS CLEAR THAT THIS IS A FLAW IN THEIR WORKMANSHIP. WE WERE TOLD BY NISSAN TO BRING OUR PATHFINDER IN FOR AN EVALUATION AND BE PREPARED TO PAY 2,500.00 DOLLARS. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE ARE PAYING A PAYMENT ALREADY ON A VEHICLE WE HAVE HAD FOR ONE MONTH. WE CANT AFFORD THIS KIND OF REPAIR. SO NOW WERE STUCK WITH A CAR WE CANT EVEN DRIVE.....UPDATED 09/03/15 *BF

TOWED MY CAR TO THE LOCAL SHOP AND FOUND OUT THAT THE RADIATOR HAS AN INTERNAL CRACK AND LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. BURNED OUT THE TCM AND NOW I AM GOING TO HAVE TO PAY MORE THAN $5000 TO GET IT FIXED. CALLED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS AT ALL.

2007 NISSIAN PATHFINDER -RADIATOR LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION, CAUSING FAILURE TO TRANSMISSION. REPLACED RADIATOR, ALL FLUIDS AND FLUSHED OUT SECONDARY RADIATOR AND RESERVOUR AND NEW THERMOSTAT, FLUSHED OUT TRANSMISSION FLUIDS. NOW NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION, WHICH IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE PART OF THE JOB!

ONSET OF ISSUE WAS INSPECTION TO DETERMINE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT. CODE P0850 - INDICATED PARK/NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH INPUT CIRCUIT. SWITCH REPLACED AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT BACK ON WITHIN 48 HOURS. RETURNED ADDITIONAL CODES RELATED TO TRANSMISSION. CONCURRENTLY THE VEHICLE WAS STUMBLING AT CERTAIN SPEED/RPM WITH RUMBLING NOISE IN DRIVETRAIN AND HESITATION DURING ACCELLERATION. TRANSMISSION FOUND TO HAVE BEEN CONTAMINATED BY RADIATOR FLUID. COMPLETE REBUILD OF TRANSMISSION PERFORMED AND BYPASSED RADIATOR TRANSMISSION COOLER WITH AUXILIARY COOLER TO PREVENT HAVING TO REPLACE RADIATOR. TRANSMISSION REBUILD AND RENTAL CAR FOR A WEEK >$5000. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TI BE REIMBURSED FOR THE COST OF REPAIRS. *JS

THE DEALER I WORK FOR HAD CHECKED MY VEHICLE SINCE IT HAS BEEN LEAKING PINK FLUID FROM MY ENGINE TURNS OUT THEY FOUND ON MY 20007 NISSAN PATHFINDER A COOLANT IN TRANSMISSION MEANING THERE IS AN INTERNAL TRANSMISSION CROSS CONTAMINATION COOLER FAILURE. BOTTOM LINE THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND FIXED ME HOSES FOR THE POWER STEERING FLUID COSTING ME OVER $5300.00 WITH A HUGE DEALERSHIP. I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 16, 2015 FROM A PRIVATE DEALER AND NOW I AM STUCK WITH A HUGE BILL TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE A AWARE OF NATIONALLY. THIS VEHICLE'S CARFAX IS AWESOME AND NO ENGINE ISSUES WHICH I MADE IT MY BUSINESS TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS OKAY WITH THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF THIS...WHY DO I HAVE SUFFER BEING WITHOUT A CAR AGAIN AS A SINGLE MOTHER OF THREE THIS IS NOT RIGHT.

I'M HERE TO SUBMIT A COMPLAINT AGAINST NISSAN I HAD TO PAID 3,000 IN REPAIRS FOR THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMITION BECAUSE THE RADIATOR BRAKES A CERTAIN MILEAGE AND THE FLUID MIXES WITH THE TRANSMITION FLUID CAUSING THE TRANSMITION FAILURE,THIS IS A PROBLEM NISSAN HAS TO ADDRESS AND RECALL THOSE CARS SO THE OWNERS WONT HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGE,I'M AWARE THAT MANY OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE,THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BUT I SEEN VERY LITTLE HELP,I WOULD LIKE TO DO ANYTHING POSIBLE IN ORDER TO GET THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED.

THE DEALER FOUND ON MY 20007 NISSAN PATHFINDER A COOLANT IN TRANSMISSION AND TRANS FLUID IN RADIATOR WHICH MEANS THERE IS A CROSS CONTAMINATION AND AN INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COOLER FAILURE. BOTTOM LINE THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR COSTING ME OVER $5300.00. IN RESEARCHING CHEAPER PLACES, I CAME ABOUT WITH A LAW SUIT ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE AGAINST NISSAN. I ALSO FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS FROM SEVERAL PEOPLE AND THE DEALERS ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY MY LOCAL MECHANIC THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. I DON'T KNOW WHY NISSAN DIDN'T OFFER A RECALL ON THE XTERRAS, AND PATHFINDERS AND HELP PEOPLE LIKE ME, NOT SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON THESE VEHICLES. I AM STILL PAYING FOR THIS CAR, HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR LESS THAN 3 YEARS AND BOUGHT IT PRE OWNED. I BROUGHT IT SEVERAL TIMES TO HUNTINGTON BEACH DEALER IN CA, FOR THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND NOT EVEN ONCE, I WAS OFFERED TO EXTEND MY WARRANTY, OR OFFERED TO LOOK AT MY RADIATOR AND FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE IT BECAME A BIG ISSUE. I CONTACTED HEADQUARTERS AND I WAS TOLD I DON'T QUALIFY FOR THE "EXTENDED WARRANTY" IT ENDS AT 100K MILES AND MY CAR IS OVER 124K MILES. ALSO, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $3K OF MY MONEY BEFORE THE DEALER WOULD COVER ANY MAJOR REPAIRS... REALLY???? IS THIS HELPING OUT SOMEONE? A LOT OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS OWN NISSANS AND I HAVE SPREAD THE WORD OF HOW BAD THESE CARS ARE, AND WHEN WE LOOK FOR HELP, THEY SLAM THE DOOR AT OUR FACES. THIS IS

MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CONTINUE TO BLINK, GOT IT CHECK BY A NISSAN DEALER, THEY INFORM ME ITS A AIRBAG CABLE AND I FEEL ITS A DEFECT IN THE AIR BAR. THE DEALER WANT ME TO PAY THE COST. PLEASE INFORM

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE A YEAR AGO AT 79,000 MILES. IN JANUARY OF 2015, I HIT THE 100,000 MILE MARK AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. LOUD AND JERKY SHIFTING AND SMELLING FOUL IN THE AIR CONDITIONER. NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE AND SINCE I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, (100,000 MILES) THAT THEY WEREN'T LIABLE. HE SAID I COULD DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT SHOULDN'T BREAK DOWN FOR ANOTHER FEW THOUSAND MILES. SO I JUST PARKED IT. I WOULD ONLY DRIVE IT IF I ABSOLUTELY HAD NO OTHER CHOICE. FRIDAY, MAY 15 2015 I WAS COMING HOME FROM A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY BROKE DOWN. THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AND I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR WITH ME. AT 40 MPH, THE RPM WAS AT ALMOST 5,000. I PULLED OVER TO CALL MY HUSBAND AND WHEN WE PUT IT IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE, IT WOULDN'T GO INTO REVERSE. I HAD TO TOW IT HOME AND IT'S COMPLETELY BROKEN DOWN. I DON'T HAVE 4,000 TO SPEND ON A TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR.

THE VEHICLE HAD TRANSMISSION TROUBLES AND WAS TAKEN INTO A REPAIR FACILITY. THERE IS A CRACK IN THE RADIATOR WHICH HAS CAUSED ANTIFREEZE TO GET INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE RADIATOR. CAR STUTTERS AND JUMPS AND IS VERY SCARY TO DRIVE. WILL COST OVER $4500 TO REPAIR.

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER THAT STARTED MAKING LOUD RUMBLING NOISES WHILE DRIVING. WE REPLACED THE RADIATOR AFTER THE CAR OVER HEATED AND A MILKY SUBSTANCE LEAKED. WE'VE HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED TWICE. WE WERE TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT THE RADIATOR LIQUID MIXED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTING TO FIND THAT THERE ARE SO MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND THAT NISSAN IS DOING NOTHING TO HELP.

NOTICED THE RED AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHING. TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND THEY INFORMED ME OF A RECALL NOTICE ON THE FRONT CRASH ZONE SENSOR AND ADVISED ME TO CONTACT MY DEALERSHIP. I'M WONDERING HOW TO PROCEED WITH REPAIR/REPLACEMENT.
