I was driving home from work when I noticed my 2007 Pathfinder was not shifting properly, then my check engine light came on. I then took it to an auto parts store to see what code was causing the check engine light to come on, I was told it was the transmission speed sensor. The next day I took my car to a transmission repair shop where I was told it was not the speed sensor, but the radiator had leaked coolant into the transmission. I was then told this was very common in the Pathfinder and Nissan would not help with repair cost. I contacted the local dealership where I usually get my car serviced and was told that Nissan knew about this issue and would not help with repair costs unless I brought my car to them for diagnostic testing. I did they told me what I already knew and that it would cost $7500 to repair minus the $105 I spent for the diagnostic test. My car is not paid for and I can't afford to get it repaired. Nissan should be held responsible for their poor handling of this defect. It should not take someone being seriously injured or killed before they take action. Since finding out this problem I have been researching and have found I am not alone in this fight against Nissan.

I had multiple posting previously on my 2006 brand new Nissan Pathfinder. First problem was with the ecm which was later fixed for about $2000, later Nissan reimbursed. As lithia spring GA. Nissan dealership had my SUV to fix the ecm, on day of pick up, 2 front catalytic converters were defective evidence by a loud hollow noise which the dealership denied. Few months later I was notified by Nissan manufacturers to take my SUV for a recalled maintenance on radiator assemble issues. I took my SUV to the same dealership with my noticed, the dealership refused to complete the recalled maintenance and claimed that my SUV had a higher mileage than what the manufacturers are recalling. Two weeks later my SUV went into a cloud of smoke with a rooting eggs odor and as I towed the car to the same dealership, I was charge $98 to complete diagnostic and I was informed the valves body, the transmission sensor and my transmission need a replacement for the total of offer $5000. I managed to complete payment on the car, I had just cancelled the registration on my SUV. I still need help to get my SUV running again. At the time of purchased I drove of with only 20 miles in my SUV. It is un-acceptable that Nissan and Nissan dealership around the nation would not stand out to take full responsibilities to their defective products; rather, to try to clean out the pockets of Nissan owners. I had a service manager at Nissan lithia spring GA. Asked me what type of job am I doing? I told him that is irrelevant. My speed on the day my SUV went into full white smoke was between 35-40 miles.
