SAVE YOURSELF!!!! TRANSMISSION/RADIATOR COOLANT

My originally bought this vehicle from Tennesee. No rust great when we had it at first! 1 year later the COOLANT IN THE RADIATOR WAS MOXONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. Of course there's no way of cleaning it unless YOU REPLACE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION. I spent more than $6k fixing this vehicle. I went to the Nissan Dealership and said it's A MANUFACTURER DEFECT PROBLEM THAT MANY THOUSANDS OUT THERE ARE GAVING THE SAME ISSUE. And they can't help you unless ur vehicle is less than 100k miles. Mines at 140k right now. So disappointed I have been at multiple auto shops including Nissan dealership fixing this truck. Apparently when they designed the vehicle the SMART DESIGNERS couldn't figure out that once the coolant started mixing with the transmission it would cause it to damage and the computer was out. I had to reset the computer programming for $2k at Nissan dealership and that doesn't even include the $4k I spent buying a rebuilt transmission. Stay away! I honestly discourage u buying this vehicle. I am giving an honest review. If you want to spend every 3 months at the auto shop be my guest!!!!! Nissan needs to address this issue.

I have a 2007 Nissan Pathfinder. I too have the same problem with radiator & transmission. I called Nissan and they will not help me because I have 103,000 miles on it. The lady I talked to was Jacenta (sp) and she told me that I did have 103,000 miles on it so they couldn't help me and hung up on me. Obviously Nissan feels that a transmission should only last 80,000 miles and if their faulty mechanics cause antifreeze to ruin your transmission they should not be held responsible. I wonder if any CEO of Nissan would take a gallon of antifreeze and dump into their transmission? That is exactly what Nissan is doing and it usually happens around the 100,000 mark from what I hear.

The radiators in these have a major defect that destroys the transmission, torque converter and computer that controls both. If not caught before the 80,000 mile warranty will be extremely expensive to repair!!!! We own a 2007 and haven't had the issue yet and hopefully won't. It's been recommended on numerous sites to have the cooler lines that go between the radiator and transmission by-passed to a separate transmission oil cooler that can be installed fairly cheaply by any transmission shop. Anyone who has a Pathfinder and has already Passed 80,000 miles and hasn't had a transmission failure should do it immediately!!!

Please, Please, Please don't buy 2007 Nissan Pathfinder. It is a piece of garbage. especially the transmition. all of them the transmition will get bad after 80k mile. mine was 88k mile when antifreeze filled up in the transmition. when I took to the transmition shop, there were another five Nissan Pathfinders with exact same problem. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS CAR
Great Value

I was totally blown away by this vehicle, for the money it is the best value out there. And the fit and finish of the SUV is incredible.
