2005 pathfinder transmission problems
Bought a 2005 Nissan pathfinder LE 4x4 new in 2005. 72,000 miles. It has been a fairly good vehicle until recently, 1 month ago we noticed violent vibration at 55+, violent shifting as if AT couldn't decide which gear it should be in, and Banging when shifting gears. Looked on the net and found the most likely cause, coolent leaking into AT. And vise versa. Checked it and found it to ... Read More

Re: Radiator leaking into Transmission [luckyduc]
My mileage on Wednesday was 117,586. My extended warranty (100,000 miles) expired in January when I hit 100,000. I bought the truck brand new in August 2006. Not one person at Nissan or my dealership ever told me that the 2006 Pathfinder could have this problem. Prior to purchasing this vehicle, I had 2 Nissan Altimas--LOVED THEM. Until 2 days ago, I never had a single problem with any of my ... Read More

Re: Radiator leaking into Transmission [unrelenting]
My 2006 Pathfinder was just diagnosed 2 days ago with the same radiator/transmission issue posted in this blog (I had it confirmed yesterday by Accurate Transmission). I was quoted a price of approximately $4,000 to replace the transmission and radiator system. I am waiting to hear back from Nissan as to how they are going to handle this problem (this is my 3rd Nissan vehicle in the last 14 years). I ... Read More

I had a transmission flush, and radiator flush along with the 60,000 mile service. I had complained of the radiator being low on cooliant at around 75,000 miles when I had to fix the Fuel Gauge Sending Unit and then later ... Read More

Nissan Radiator Oops
2006 Nissan Pathfinder..... Looks like I am another victim of Nissan's defective radiator issue. $6,000 plus cost...yet to fix. I was asked if I have had any Nissans in the past....listed 5 VIN #s since 1982. To no avail...not loyal enough for Nissan to assist. Yes, I have contacted a lawyer...defective parts, latent defect...pick a number. Nissans biggest issue may be that I am overly persistent. Not giving up yet. My ... Read More

Re: Nissan Warranty Extensions - Radiator/Transmission [lauracpalmer]
As I posted last year, when my 2006 Pathfinder turned over 85K miles I went ahead and purchased a new radiator at my own expense and had local service shop install it. Cost me about $400 out of my own pocket but I look at the expense as insurance.

Re: Update to 2006 Pathfinder 36K [angileyz]
I wish Nissan stood behind their vehilces. Then I could back up and run over them. I went thru a lot of crap to get mine repaired and get my $$$ back. No more Nissans. Lookin' at Hyundai or GM Acadia SUV. First though, I want to find out how they stand behind their vehicles.

Update to 2006 Pathfinder 36K
Dropped off my Pathfinder on 3.28.2011 and got it back today 4.27.2011. A week into the ordeal I was told I was backorder 86 and had been moved up the important list because my vehicle was inoperable...

Re: 2006 Pathfinder with 36K miles [angileyz]
My 2006 Pathfinder was going bad @97,000. Luckily I have the 100,000 mile extended warranty plan. I feel sorry for those that are getting screwed by Nissan. It took two and a half months for mine to get fixed and I just got it back on 4/23/2011. You are going to have to wait much longer, I think. As of now (4/25) they have 39 transmissions on back order. I was ... Read More

Re: 2006 Nissan Pathfinder [khylton]
Find a reliable trans shop. They will know what to do. My guys reversed the cooler lines to the trans. They said that if I noticed a drop in acceleration, they would put them back.

Re: 2006 Nissan Pathfinder [99accent]
Very interesting you post on the Pathfinder. I'm just learning about the problems with the radiator/transmission on '05 and '06 models. You mentioned that there may be "optional cooling lines" connecting the radiator and transmission. Is this model or equipment specific? I am getting the idea that all Pathfinders have this problem, but your comment made me think that may not be the case. Thanks for any info.

2006 Pathfinder with 36K miles
My 2006 Pathfinder with 36K has a bad tranny... not the typical tranny/radiator issue. It was described as defective. I have been waiting for 2.5weeks and Nissan still hasn't been able to get a tranny, they are back ordered. Nissan is covering everything and has me in a rental, so far so good... Does anyone know how long they can keep you in a rental or if there are any other ... Read More

Re: Transmission/heating issues 07 pathfinder [jmcd07]

I pressed them on the radiator/transmission issue and they checked the radiator which had tranny fluid in it.-they said they were only authorized to replace radiator- I requested the left over radiator fluid and at that time they called ...

Path vibration
I have a 2006 pathfinder with 73K on it, I also have a front end vibration. Front struts and wheel bearings were replaced 3,000 miles ago.

I just put new tires on it today, the vibration is still there at 50mph and get worse until the whole vehicle is shaking at 70mph. Any suggestions? I am calling Nissan ... Read More

Re: 2006 Pathfinder SE transmission, Charlotte NC [tim2011]
I had the same problem it turned out to be the front drive shaft. Again nissan knows of this problem and they are not reporting the problem to us the consumer. I took mine to Nissan dealer and they ran all the checks and found the front drive shaft was bad, luckily mine was warranty work. Good luck hope I helped.

Happy New Year (and new radiator & transmission!)
I finally brought my 2006 Pathfinder into the dealer after reading these posts for a few months. My truck with 70k miles started shuttering between 40-50mph. I drained about 4 quarts of transmission fluid out and it was slightly milky. I realize there's another 8 quarts and the whole flush process, but I wasn't about to do all that. Anyway, after the simple 4 quart switch, things were actually a little ... Read More

I just picked up my 2006 Pathfinder last Monday after getting the transmission rebuilt due to the radiator issue. Just got my letter today extending the warranty. Unfortunately I have 142,000 miles on mine and was told by Nissan they wouldn't do anything for me, despite my previously owning 2 other Nissans. I basically drove it until it died because it was already out of the warranty period. DO NOT WAIT ... Read More

Count me in on the Class Action Lawsuit. It’s Hard to believe that Nissan is unwilling to step up and make a recall to this issue. After the runaround for well over a month with Nissan and two different dealerships Nissan is unwilling to admit to a manufacturing defect. Nissan claims to compete in the same market as Honda and Toyota, but unfortunately do not share in the same quality or ... Read More

Re: 2005 Pathfinder - needs new radiator [meahlarie]
I went with the Koyo A2807 radiator instead of the Nissan (Calsonic). I would imagine this was a bad batch of radiators from the manufacturer and doubt any new ones have the same defect but I still don't trust them. Maybe it was 2005s manufactured late in the year and 2006 manufactured early. Maybe a particular plant. I did mine as a precaution so couldn't really go after nissan for the ... Read More

Nissan Response
Nissan called me back today. Just what I expected. They will not assist in the repair of the radiator or transmission problem.

I hope that Nissan gets nailed to the wall with this and has to pay out ... Read More

Re: 2006 Pathfinder 45k similar symptoms [quesocore]
Went thru whole trans/radiator mess. Got Nissan to replace both for $450 labor charge. Called my indep trans guy who reversed the cooler hoses to bypass radiator. So far so good. If you can, ask indep Ask trans person about reversing hoses. Should work if you don't have fluid contamination. Only thing they asked me to look out for is slowing acceleration over 40mph, but all good. Good luck.

Re: 2006 Pathfinder 45k similar symptoms [quesocore]
Our Pathfinder had both the radiator/transmission, then the u-joint issue. The "vibrations" are different. The radiator/transmission is a shudder. The u-joint is a definite vibration that gets worse very quickly. Mechanic fixed the u-joint free of charge. Nissan Customer Service called last week and referred our claim to the Regional Specialist. We are now waiting for the "Regional Specialist" to call to review our claim.

Re: 2006 Nissan pathfinder transmission concern [sutt2]
If you plan on keeping your Pathfinder, I would at minumum install a tranny cooler and bypass original factory radiator or install an aftermarket radiator and replace the original factory radiator.

This $500 or less fix is a great deal better than the $3,000 I have invested in ... Read More

Re: Nissan Pathfinder Transmission/Radiater Issues [audham]
Call Nissan North America and be forceful. Forget the mileage. It's their error. The coolant leaks through the trans cooler into the tran. And the trans fluid follows the reverse path to the radiator. Repairs can run between $5000 and 7000 without Nissan's intervention. I just contacted one of the local Tv stations' News Dept. and told them about the problem and thatn there should be a recall. Here's the e-mail. ... Read More

It cost me $1,500.00 and the shop isn't positive that the transmission is ok. The mechanic contacted a local dealer looking for a new radiator and heard from them this has been a common problem....I will contact and complain to the sources listed, but has anyone heard ...

2006 Pathfinder LE w/21,000 miles
We have a Pathfinder LE with 21,000 miles on it and it is in excellent condition. We bought the vehicle in So. TX when we lived there and relocated to PA in 2008. We took it to a local Nissan dealer here and they didn't even want to deal with us because it wasn't a 4WD. They were very insulting to us and we would never go back there again. My ... Read More

Re: Navigation Broken in 2006 Nissan Pathfinder [coop737]
Here's a update... After the main vehicle battery died, I hooked up a new battery and to my surprise, the Navigation Unit worked again. 2 months later, the nav screen goes blank again, I unhook the battery, reconnect the battery, and presto, the Nav Unit comes back up normally. So I've gone about 4 months on 2 "hard reboots" of the system. Don't know if this a workaround for everybody, but ... Read More

Nissan Pathfinder Automatic Hill Descent Control
I just purchased a 2006 Pathfinder with 29k. Love it, but am very concerned about this so called auto hill descent control feature. It is the SE model but does not have a hill descent control option/feature. I brought it to our local Nissan dealership and the tech tells me this is normal, on Pathfinders, and other nissan trucks/suv's. When I am on a hill and begin braking, the tranny automatically ...

Re: 2005 Nissan Pathfinder Fuel Gauge does not work [kbzj]
I also drive a 2006 Pathfinder and I had the same problem which should be under your warranty because I took it straight to the dealership as soon as it acted up and they replaced my fuel pump and changed my whole front display with the gauges for free.Honestly when these things happen go to nissan before a mechanic because you don't want anyone to do anything that will void your ...

Re: 2005 Nissan Pathfinder Fuel Gauge does not work [ricardo_33172]
I have a 2006 Pathfinder with 52000 miles and am having the same problem. The gas gauge isn't working, nor is the destination to empty reading and the service engine soon light is on. A repair shop is telling me it needs a new fuel pump $700 which is not under warranty any longer. Please forward me any info you have on getting this taken care of.

Navigation Broken in 2006 Nissan Pathfinder
One minute it worked, the next it didn't. The navigation display is completely blank. Can't use navigation or the radio. Air conditioning is functional as long as you guess at the settings. One interesting thing is that the backlight is ON all the time, even when the ignition is off. So the display has a greyish color instead of black. I've checked all the fuses in the passenger compartment fuse box. ... Read More

From Lease to Purchase: Paid to much?
First, I would like to say hey as this my first post... hey! Finding out if I got taken advantage of and wasn't even aware of it. My wife and I leased a Demo 2006 Pathfinder LE 2WD, MSRP around 32,000, for 39 months. The residual value that we were paying on was 20,950. A year and 5 months later, we decided we would go ahead and buy it being it ... Read More

Buying Pathfinder off lease
Carman - I have a 2006 Pathfinder LE 2WD no Nav that will be coming off lease in about 2-3 months. I am under mileage slightly but there are several small dents and moderate scratches that I would have to fix ( I would think) before I turn it in. I love the vehicle and am considering buying it off lease - the residual is about $18000 but in this market ... Read More

Engine chirpping/squeaking...
Hey everyone...I just bought a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder SE from CarMax yesterday. Runs great, clean, low mileage...except I noticed a squeaking (loose belt) noise coming from the engine this morning. Someone mentioned it might be the power steering for which there was also a bulletin notice on the issue. Anyone else have this issue and, if so, how did it work out. Do you recommend I take it to a Nissan ... Read More

Re: 2005 Pathfinder LE Defective Gas Gauge [ricardo_33172]
On my 2006 -- I did look into the Lemon law a bit. It only appllied up to XX months you owned the car, and/or up to XX miles. I think I was over it. I also wrote about my problems to Nissan North America; also gave the local dealership manager a chance (first) to respond. he did not. Nissan NA didn't care either.

The gas-level-meter would say I had 1/8 tank gas, I was on my way to get gas, (twice) when the DTE flashed ----'s and I ... Read More

Re: Travel trailer and the 2006 Pathfinder [kipk]
The RV dealer installed both the brake controller using a Nissan specific pigtail and the 7 pin connector. This took them about 2.5 - 3 hours in labor, so it wasn't cheap at their rates.

Re: Travel trailer and the 2006 Pathfinder [wohlyzep]
Did the Nissan dealer install or supply the 7 pin connector and/or the brake controller or at least the pig tail for the controller? Thanks, Kip

Re: Brand New 2005 Pathfinder LE [bluesilver]
No. If you were passing up a bargain it still wouldn't be there. I've seen 07 4runners advertised all day long for $5000 off MSRP. Should be able to work better than this with some work. Should be about the same for 07 Pathfinder. Look up your 05 LE on nada.com or kbb.com. (with 800 miles). Add a little to the wholesale price ($1500-2000) for a reasonable price for the car. ...

Brand New 2005 Pathfinder LE
My local Nissan dealer still has a 2005 Pathfinder LE on the lot. Sticker is $35800, and they've brought it down to $31400. It has about 800 miles on it. When I ask them why they still have a 2005, they always say it's because the LE models are harder to sell than the S or SE--that most people will go up to the Armada if they want the leather package. ...

Re: Nissan Pathfinder Owners: MPG-Real World Numbers [paisan]
A solid rear axle, and yet better ride than most car based SUVs. The armada is not a mid size SUV, so it is not really comparable to the 4runner, so why even bring it up? However, read any reviews on the Armada and it is usually on all the worst reliability full size SUV lists. Here is one of such lists from Consumer Reports: Least reliable (Worst score first) Nissan ... Read More

Re: Travel trailer and the 2006 Pathfinder [trailerguy]
Thanks for the input, I will take your advice regarding the tow equipment. Anything bad to say about the Casita? I am looking at the 17'. Also, another question. The Nissan Pathfinder brochure states that it is 6,000 lbs. rated with a 7 pin wiring harness. The Pathfinder SE has a 4 pin harness. The dealer says that all I have to do is use a 7 pin plug that plugs ... Read More

Noisey limited slip rear differential
Anyone notice the sound that the Pathfinder (this case is a 2006) when the limited slip kicks in? What I'm being told is that this sound is normal but I see nothing from Nissan to assure me. Any thoughts out there? The sound is like gears meshing together and I have confirmed that it's the LSD because the "SLIP" light comes on at the time the noise occurs. Thanks for the ... Read More

Re: 2005 Pathfinder noise when window is opened [trbochrg]
Opening another window does not help, it gets louder. Nissan should be made aware of this problem. They should install wind deflectors on the rear windows and the fronts. I have a 2006 Pathfinder and this problem is a pain in the #@%&*! How can we get this Problem sent to Nissan. Anyone know?
