2006 Nissan Pathfinder Other or unknown Problems

“Transmission failure due to radiator hose leak. Class action lawsuit milage limits exceeded. I had the car in multiple times this was never disclosed to me. Vehicle paid off 12/2012- failure 3/2013. Total cost for new transmission/radiator was 7,000.00. I had to borrow the money since this vehicle was my only form of transportation to and from work.”

“Transmission was failing on the way to the repair shop to get it looked at. In the middle of the intersection, it refused to go into gear and caused me to slow down considerably, resulting in a near accident with the car behind me and the car going around me. The radiator had leaked into the transmission, a known problem in this particular year of Nissan Pathfinder.”

“I was driving down the interstate when out if nowhere it got slightly shaky rumbly feeling and then it up shifted very very hard and redlined the vehicle so I hit brakes and got pulled over and turned it off. I got it towed back home and then next day towed to shop and they told me that the radiator malfunctioned and it had basicly drained antifreeze into my transmission. Said that problem is notorious for these vehicles and that I would need new transmission and radiator now.”

“I was driving up a mountain road when suddenly my vehicle began to shake and lose power. The engine then began to rev and the vehicle began to roll backwards. I applied my brakes and put the vehicle in all available gears including reverse and the engine continued to rev. The police were called and I was almost struck by passing vehicles multiple times. After 55 minutes the police arrived and requested an expedited tow. Vehicle was then towed from the roadway. …”

“During driving the transmission popped and would not accelerate. After reviewing different websites this is a common problem that my 2000-2006 pathfinders have. This issue is due to transmission fluid mixing with engine coolant. It is a failure due to a thin wall in the radiator that wears out over time and is a very expensive fix if not caught soon enoigh the prices I was quoted was anywhere from 4,000 to 12,000 depending on what all needed to be replaced.”
