2 Vehicle Overheat problem of the 2006 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 08/31/2013

Car had been experiencing excessive jerking and vibration. The car heater stopped working only blowing out cold air and the car began overheating. I took it into Nissan only to find they have an extended warranty on the transmission to only 80,000 miles, which the car did not have any issues at that time. I had to replace the radiatior, transmission, and u-joint. Bill to fix car was almost $3000. 00 for a car that is only 7 years old and under 100,000 miles.
