Pathfinder

  • 73,000 miles
2005 Nissan Pathfinder has problems with antifreeze leaking into the transmission because of some design flaw. After researching this problem I see that there are many complaints of this occurring with this same particular model. The transmission starts to make a grinding noise and then will start slipping. Nissan is aware of the problem because they are the one that has diagnosed it over and over again, but have refused to issue a tsb or recall. This is a very serious defect and is costing people 5 to 10 thousand dollars to fix. My 2005 Nissan Pathfinder is at the dealership awaiting repair. This will cost me $5500 to fix and Nissan will not assist. Nissan should consider the problems that Toyota is having right now and issue a recall for this defect.

I have a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder SE-or and the radiator fluid into the transmission. I had to replace the radiator and have both systems flushed 2X each. The rpms were hestating when excelling over 45mph. The Nissan dealer tried ripping me off saying I needed a new transmission-so I went to a reputable garage.
