general problems of the 2007 Nissan Pathfinder

I get regular maintenance on my car and have owned it for numerous years. I was driving on a major highway & with no warning the car shut off and locked up. The power steering was completely gone. If it hadn't been for going down hill I probably would of gotten hit as I tried to get off the road. My seat belt locked in place and I had to climb out of the seat belt to get out of the vehicle. The doors were also locked and had an issue opening them at first in 91degree heat it was a very scary experience.

My wife was driving home from picking up our children from school. She was traveling approx 65 mph when the vehicle lost power, became unstable, and would not accelerate. She said that it was like someone put on the emergancy brake with five times more force than normal almost causing her to loose control of the vehicle. Upon taking the vehicle to a repair shop the problem was found to be that coolant had leaked into the transmission and had distroyed the transmission computer and the transmission.

Left motel at 7am, vehicle seemed to have trouble shifting, high rpm. . Pulled over to check. . Would not start. . Towed to dealership.

On October 20th of 2011 I was driving on the right lane of tonelle Ave, north bergen, NJ as I decide to pass a bus in front of me I was probably doing 25 mph and peak the speed to 35 mph as I passed the bus, the steering wheel became hard to maneuver almost pulling me against the traffic, thankfully I was able to maneuver and get back in track otherwise I would crash against the traffic, currently I have 88000 miles on my car, as of today the steering wheel still hard to maneuver, and I don't know if Nissan would be able to repair this issue at no cost.

Going overbridge overpass started shaking violently starting at 40 mph causing me to swerve into next lane Nissan claims its trans problem from radiator bypass and that its not a safety issue!!!!!!.
