problem #1

Jan 052003

Pathfinder 4WD

  • Automatic transmission
  • 61,000 miles
Engine problem light comes on. Both transmission computers malfunctioning and shortening each other out. Dealer repaired for several hundred commenting that this is common problem w/ model and Nissan is aware of transmission failure that could lead to injury but refuses to recall due to excessive cost of doing so even though it is dangerous.
