I was driving on an interstate at normal highway speed when the car shuddered as if going over rough pavement. the engine started racing, but the car gradually lost forward propulsion. i steered to the emergency lane and stopped. after a minute, the car regained just enough forward motion to get me to the next exit, across an intersection (where the light just happened to be green, thank goodness), and into the parking lot of a large grocery store before the vehicle lost all propulsion. we pushed the car the last few feet into a parking spot. it was towed to a nissan dealership. i was told the next day that the transmission warmer had failed, allowing radiator coolant to leak into the transmission, which ruined the transmission. the repair would cost $6000. i cannot put another $6000 into a 13-year-old vehicle, even though i've only had it for five months, so now i've lost the money i put into it and will have to start over with another vehicle.
While driving on the freeway or the city street, the car started to jerk and then suddenly cut off and lose power. this has happened at least five times at normal highway and freeway speeds in a straight forward motion. while on the freeway, i was able to glide over to stop the car and restart it. the car starts right back up and is drivable.the last time was on the city street, i was going about 35-40mph and the car again jerks and the engine cuts off and looses power. however, this time the steering wheel locked up preventing me to get over. i had to stop the car by breaking directly in the lane nearly causing cars to slam into me. again, once i come to a complete stop and put the car in park i am able to start the engine and drive again. after this first happened, i took my car in for a tune-up, oil change, and a diagnostic test but nothing read as an error. i do not drive far distances just mainly around town and have received regular maintenance on my vehicle. i am now afraid to drive my car because ...
Transmission is failing quickly. i had to replace my radiator a few months ago because it cracked. that event left my wife and children stranded on the interstate.
Radiator failed causing leak of radiator fluid into transmission causing vehicle to be towed to auto shop. vehicle was in motion on highway and then would all of the sudden no longer accelerate. mechanics, (got 3 estimates) all said same thing; that this was a problem with these pathfinders. my cost is about 6,500. i had just bought this vehicle for 8,500 about 3 weeks prior.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan pathfinder. when the contact started the vehicle and attempted to drive in reverse, the vehicle stalled. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who initially stated that the fuel pump malfunctioned. the mechanic replaced the fuel pump, but the failure persisted and the vehicle would not crank. the independent mechanic stated that the engine control module failed. headquarter nissan (1725 whittlesey rd, columbus, ga 31904, (706) 225-8100) informed the contact that there was no recall on the vehicle. the manufacturer agreed with the dealer and provided a case number. the manufacturer stated that the vehicle was repaired per an unknown recall in 2011 and could not assist. the contact purchased the vehicle less than a year ago. the failure mileage was unknown.
Timing chain needs replaced pulled in and heard the tell tale buzzing sound had some one listen with stethascope to confirm
My problem is with the radiator and transmission fluid contamination.. some hoses inside the radiator that carries transmission fluid and coolant cracked and contaminated both the radiator and transmission. this problem has caused my vehicle to lock into 4 wheel drive and contaminated both my radiator and transmission this problem will need to be repaired before the vehicle can be driven. it will be a costly repair that should be covered by nissan on a recall according to all the complaints i have read about.
Coolant leaks into transmission. this ruined the transmission and should be recalled.
All 4 of my catalytic converters have had to be replaced (or need to be replaced - i've already replaced bank 1. now bank 2 is bad) in the past 12 months or so and now my radiator is leaking into my transmission. i discovered there was a class-action lawsuit on the radiator/transmission issue, but i'm outside of the warranty period. with respect to the catalytic converters, i occasionally smell exhaust, but the check engine lights stay on. with the transmission, it started out as gear slipping, causing rough driving (which the dealership told me was the catalytic converter). then, it started running slow out of first gear and hard shifting. i took it to a transmission place that pulled transmission codes and when they dropped the pan, the fluid looked like a milkshake. the rough driving/gears slipping didn't matter - it could be on the highway or in the city. i don't know the exact date in 2018 that i had the issue, but i've been dealing with this issue for a year.
Have a 2006 nissan pathfinder se, while driving at 65 mph the car shut off and i lost total power of the car and thankfully was able to pull over without getting killed. this has happened 2x i loos total power and the car shuts off. i called nissan to see if there was a recall and they said no, however there is a recall #10v517000 which nissan says my car is not involved in that advised this model had a recall for this very problem having the engine shut off while driving it. if there is a recall for this very reason and i have the make & model while nissan will not investigate why this is happened as it is a direct safety problem. i was told that i could take it into nissan for them to see what the problem was of course at my expense.
The radiator was cracked where the transmission fluid is and it mixed with the antifreeze which caused both the radiator and the transmission to have to be replaced. the engine was on and vehicle was stationary when we noticed the temperature increased greatly and rapidly until it maxed out. the vehicle was leaking a mix of antifreeze and transmission fluid. we replaced the radiator but the damage was done already to the transmission. the vehicle was in motion when the transmission failed.
Radiator coolant leaked into the transmission $4000 car 10 years old however i had high mileage due to many road trips
Defective radiator failed causing coolant and transmission fluid to mix that irreparably damaged the transmission.
Radiator fluid leaked into transmission, cause a replacement of transmission and radiator.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan pathfinder. on several occasions, while driving between 10-50 mph, the transmission failed to operate as intended. the dealer diagnosed that the transmission failed due to contamination of the transmission from the radiator fluid acid. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 170,000.
