I paid off my pathfinder last year. just about 2 months ago after leaving a friends house the truck started turning on all the dash board lights, i didn't know what to expect. i drove it very slowly home not even a mile away, i turned it off and next day..my surprise it didn't turn on to take to the mechanic. i called the tow truck to take it in to nissan dealer and they found that the radiator fluid mixed with transmission oil and messed up the module too. they where originally charging me 7200 dollars to fix. i brought it back home and after when i was able to pay with credit i took it in to fix. they urged me to fix all at once because of a manufacturer defect on any of the above..most likely they said it could happen again. *tr

We purchased our 2007 nissan pathfinder on may 21 of this year. today makes 39 days we've had it. on the 32 day we noticed it was having some roughness in the transmission when changing gears. it felt like we were running over really rough roads or rumble strips. it continued to get worse the longer we drove it. then around a week ago i put it in reverse and it continued to roll forward. i immediately drove home to inform my husband. when he checked the transmission fluid it appeared to be empty. when he further checked it and cleaned the dip stick it was a tanish colored liquid that was showing up. i went to google and found that many others with this same or similar vehicle was having the same problem, and that the problem was a leak in a radiator hose that runs thru the transmission and leaks fluids back and forth. my husband went to check the radiator and sure enough there is transmission fluid in the radiator and it appeared in the engine as well. so now we have ...
The transmission fluid and the radiator fluid are mixed up due to vehicle design issues. nissan is conveniently getting out of the complaint by putting in stuff that there is no warranty on the vehicle. *tr
Another classic story of nissan pathfinder transmission failing due to engine coolant leaking into the transmission fluid cooler system resulting in catastrophic failure of the transmission. *tr
The radiator leaks fluids into the transmission, intermixing the fluids. this is ruining the radiator and transmission, causing the vehicle to overheat and leak. this makes the vehicle not safe to drive. *tr
Radiator fluid leaked into transmission fluid and now transmission is polluted and will need to be changed. *tr
Radiator failed, mixed coolant into transmission fluid caused transmission to fail.repairs estimated at $5000. *tr
