I was driving and suddenly the check engine light came on, i drove home and the next week i went to replace my brakes and ask the workshop to do a scan to let me know why the light is on, they did and 2 codes came up which the shop said they did not see before so they cleared the system and said if it comes on again to take it back so they can fully investigate. i went on 9/28 to another workshop they did a scan and the code p1772 came on after inspecting the mechanic showed me the radiator cap with some thick gooey stuff telling me the radiator is bad and the coolant is mixing with transmission fluid and vice versa. before this the car would run and when i at a stop sign and try to move it would rev to 4-5 stalls and then move, they are also times of sudden jerk and acceleration. they have also been twice when i tried to reverse the vehicle would not move, i had to turn off the engine then restart before i could reverse.. defective radiator cracks leading to coolant mixing with transmission fluid, now need to replace radiator and transmission
2007 pathfinder was being driven on a city street and stalled while in motion. was able to steer away from traffic. steering was hard to maneuver. after repeated times of cranking it would not start.. vehicle was towed to owners residence. when being dropped off owner started vehicle and was able to move it into driveway. no check engine light of any sort was lit. after a couple of days vehicle was being driven around the block and stalled again. waited for about 25 minutes to cool off and engine turned on again but stalled . after a couple of repeated trys was able to drive vehicle back into driveway. again no codes lit.
I was driving down the highway with my kids when the vehicle started to overheat and when i pulled over the vehicle started to smoke and shut down. the vehicle was then towed to my house. i had a family mechanic look at the vehicle and was told the radiator cracked. i ordered a radiator and it was put it. then found out that water had gotten into the transmission fluid. went and bought the transmission fluid j specifically for nissan and was going to flush the transmission fluid and add more it was then that the transmission started slipping and white smoke was coming out of the exhaust. where i was told the head gasket is cracked. i am still making payments on this car and have no vehicle to drive to work or school.
Radiator cracked, leaked into transmission causing transmission failure
Radiator has cracked and leaked into the transmission
Coolant contamination, getting mix with transmission oil
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan pathfinder. the contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. the vehicle was towed to heritage nissan (1500 veterans memorial hwy ne, rome, ga 30161) where it was diagnosed that there was a leak in the coolant and radiator that leaked into the transmission, which caused the vehicle not to start. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and repaired. the manufacturer was called and the contact was awaiting a call back. the failure mileage was 107,859. *tt *tr
The vehicle started vibrating very roughly and loudly during acceleration, then suddenly the transmission completely failed while my daughter was driving it on a very busy frontage road to the highway. she was able to steer it onto the shoulder before it stopped coasting; and several people stopped to help her push it into safety in a nearby parking lot. after having it towed to a repair shop, the mechanic informed us that the radiator fluid had leaked through cracks into the transmission fluid, causing irreversible damage to the transmission. upon researching the problem, we discovered this was a known and acknowedged problem with 2005-2010 nissan pathfinders, but neither a recall nor a warning was ever issued. we are now beyond the warranty coverage in time and in mileage, so nissan will not cover any of the expenses to repair.
In 2007, i purchased a new nissan pathfinder, unaware of any defects. in 2011, i began having problems with my truck not producing heat while it was idle. nissan stated that the coolant looked dark and advised me that their was air in the line. once again, i'm having trouble with the heat and now i'm being told the transmission and coolant fluids are intermixed, and that it would cost between $7 and 8 thousand dollars because i need to replace both the transmission and the radiator. when i took my truck to nissan in 2011, and they knew the coolant was dark, i should have been made aware of the defect with the radiator assembly because my issues most likely had already started, and now, it's gotten worse. i was never advised of this problem until now.
I bought my 07 pathfinder in july and the dealership had done repair on the radiator at their expense, and replaced the coolant and tranny fluids and stated there was no cross contamination. however, the vehicle stopped shifting properly and we couldn't tell if it was the tranny, abs, or 4wd getting caught. as of yesterday the tranny wouldn't change gears. restarting the car helped. but since there was no recall there is no history of any other work. all maintenance was kept up with the same dealership for the majority of the vehicles life. after the vehicle has been at a stop, and moved to accelerate it wouldn't go into gear/drive then all of a sudden would ?catch? and would launch.
While driving the vehicle temperature gauge pegged out at the high side and there was a burning metal smell. i was told by two different mechanics that the radiator failed and leaked into the transmission. the vehicle is beyond the extended warranty that nissan gave and they never contacted me to let me know that there even was an extended warranty.
I bought a vehical has bad tire pressure sensors lights always on i never know if tires are reallyhaving an issue.
I had noticed fluid leaking from under the front /right portion of my vehicle after i parked. i opened the hood and the reserve cap to the radiator had come loose. after letting my vehicle cool, i inspected both the reserve tank and radiator and noticed the fluid was now a milky/frothy substance. after some detective work, i learned that this is a common issue with pathfinders from 2005- through 2010 that nissan has ignored to fix. the transmission fluid cooler in the radiator assembly "fails" causing contamination to the internal transmission components ,and damage to the internal transmission computer. there are no warning signs up to or just prior to the failures. after contacting nissan and receiving a denial to fix our truck under a warranty, i am stuck with a vehicle with several "thousands of dollars" in repairs all due to nissan ignoring a known defect and not issuing a recall on all vehicles in the "known" year bracket with these issues. i'm sure nothing will be done regarding this issue due to there not being a major loss of lives involved, i.e. takata airbags,but i find it is my duty to add my name to an already hefty list of other nissan pathfinder owners that have experienced this same problem.
Car cut off while driving on highway,it woultd not start
Transmission fluid is leaking into coolant.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan pathfinder. the contact stated while the vehicle was operated, it experienced a complete loss of power. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the vehicle's transmission and radiator fluid had mixed. the dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 100,000. updated 10/18/17*lj the consumer stated malfunctioning airbags. *tr
At 80000 miles timing chain had to be replaced $2100.00 repair that nissan was aware of being a common defect . my extended warrantee company did not cover because they said it was a pre - existing problem. at 82000 miles radiator transmission cooler leaked antifreeze into transmission causing failure to both. another problem that nissan was aware of and would not pay for a repair for over $6000 because they had no recall
Car started to shudder when driving, heater would get cold when car was sitting, vibrations when driving. garage said radiator cracked and leaked fluid into transmission fluid and destroyed engine. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan pathfinder. while driving 50 mph and merging into the slow lane, the vehicle aggressively lunged forward. the vehicle shook vigorously and the check engine and check oil warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle stalled and failed to restart. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that there was engine sludge. the transmission and radiator failed due to the external cooler failure. the radiator, transmission, and external cooler all needed to be replaced with aftermarket parts, according to the dealer. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 134,000.
Now on our 2nd radiator/transmission issue with our nissan pathfinder, the original repair was under warranty, but now experiencing same issues again. with both instances the car was being driven when issues occurred. fortunately, the location to the repair shop is close. our pathfinder is currently in a repair shop under going diagnostics.
Truck was jerking a couple of weeks ago then went to direct fix.com, which said to look for contamination in the coolant reservoir. so i replaced the radiator, flush the transmission, replace transmitter and filled oem transfluid. ran good for two weeks and tran's just went bank. irec
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan pathfinder. while parked, the vehicle failed to start. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that there was coolant leaking into the transmission, which caused transmission fluid and coolant to mix. the mechanic stated that the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the vehicle was towed to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 117,687.
My pathfinder taking antifreeze inside of transmission fluid turning it to look like pepto bismol also my engine is taking in anti freeze also. there are recalls on this problem with their vehicles note my truck still run but it over heats tranny works too i've parked it for couple years now i haven't driven it to the point where it don't work.
Vehicle lost power, will not transmit power to the wheels, appears to be a highly complaint among all owners. transmission has failed in a heavy traffic area. fuel level sender is no longer working.
Enjoying our pathfinder one afternoon and went to pass a car and it would not kick inot passing gear. when we stopped i could smell that it was hot, but could not find a leak. after letting it cool, i checked the coolant level and found that grey froth in the radiator. a quick check on the internet lead me to me worst fear. i am still in the process of flushing radiator and getting quotes. local aamco guy said that transmission is doomed, and they see a lot of these. $4,000 - 4500 to rebuild. so much money for such an easy repair had i known before the radiator gave up. no more nissans for this family!
I was told by the dealership there was a bad timing chain - called nissan and they said they would not financially assist with the repair. there appears to be a civil lawsuit regarding this issue.
Radiator coolant is leaking into transmision, which could result in catastrophic engine failure
I was driving when my nissan pathfinder 2007 out right when i got in the middle of in intersection my car just didn't want to go i was pressing on the gas and it would go it then it would start going again but wouldn't go faster then 20mph then again it would stop n wouldnt move i took it to a shop to get it checked out they told me my radiator failed and cause liquid to go into my tramission which cause that to fail ...so i called nissan about the recall i read about fail radiator and tramission they told me they couldn't help me
Defective drive chains, as described in a nissan technical service bulliten. these were about to break and destroy the engine.
Transmission cooler inside the radiator cracked and got coolant in the transmission, causing the transmission to die. we went to turn the car on and it wouldn't start, from there we towed it to a mechanic who told us what had happened.
Takata recall out of the clear blue i was driving my 2007 pathfinder and the airbag light came on, i took it to the dealership immediately that day and it passed per service manager louis castillo at baker jackson nissan in houston texas, 2 days later the light came back on and once again i went to the dealer ship and was told that the sensors and other parts needed to be replaced the cost is $1500. i called nissan corp and they are refusing to taking responsibility even though they stated all 2007 pathfinders in other states would be given a 10 year warranty. my truck was also affected with the radiator flulid mixing with the transmission fluid, during the years of 2010-2012 i constantly took my truck to baker jackson nissan and the service manager then larry just topped off my truck himself and never made a record of it. he kept assuring me that he was saving me money. my transmission failed but because of the mileage in 2012 nissan was able to deny fixing my transmission via the class action lawsuit. i ended up spending $4800 for a new transmission. in 2010 nissan convinced me to replace my train for $1600, i never knew it was a recall until today. another caveat to this mess is that baker jackson changed their computer system and has no record of me replacing my train. i have a bank statement to prove it if necessary.
Timing chain failure at 80,000 miles which should not happen
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan pathfinder. the contact stated that the vehicle was being serviced for an oil change, when it was diagnosed that the radiator fluid was leaking into the transmission. the dealer stated that the radiator and the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 124,789. the vin was not available.
At first, the car wouldn't start occasionally. i replaced the battery and fuses. this helped temporarily. now, the car won't start unless i place a new ecu fuse each time i attempt to start it. changing the fuse will start the car, but it lacks power and is quick to stall out. when i took it to the mechanic, he discovered coolant in my transmission. after reading information from several websites, i realized this is an ongoing issue with this make/model of car.
Timing chain tension system failed at 80,000 miles.
Coolant aft cross contamination in the transmission and radiator.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan pathfinder. the contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle violently jerked forward without warning. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission fluid and anti freeze mixed together and the transmission and radiator needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 97,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan pathfinder. the contact stated that the fuel gauge was fractured and the check engine light illuminated. the contact mentioned that when the vehicle was refueled, the fuel warning light remained illuminated. in addition, the contact stated that the vehicle overheated and the anti-freeze had mixed with the transmission fluid causing it to leak onto the ground. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
The transmission on my 2007 nissan pathfinder started slipping so i had it looked at and found out the coolant leaked into the transmission. i have 118,000 miles on it and unfortunately it looks like i am out of luck. i an very disappointed in nissan since they know the failure does not occur until about 90,000 miles.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan pathfinder. while driving at approximately 30-35 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed and there was an abnormal noise as the vehicle moved up and down. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that the brakes and rotors needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 85,000. the vin was not available.
Radiator cracked and water went into the oil and it mixed....per rep and mechanic at nissan dealer. problem caused by radiatior not being built properly at fabric. this problem caused vehicle to shake violently while driving. very unsafe.
On july 31, 2015 my car jerked and check engine light came on. by the time i got it to the shop (about 45 min later) it was having trouble accelerating from a stop. when i turned the engine off we could not get it restarted. the shop said the transmission was not communicating with the computer. i had it towed to a transmission shop and my car had the same issue as other nissans. the coolant leaked into the transmission resulting in the computer shorting out. i now have to pay $4,200 to have the radiator replaced, the transmission rebuilt and the engine flushed. if nissan is aware of the issue then they should have had a recall for this. from what i am reading online there are thousands of vehicles with this issue.
My suv was diagnosed with a defective radiator and now has issues with the transmission cooler pipes splitting causing cross contamination between the radiator coolant & transmission fluid. which resulted in a failure to the automatic transmission. the cross contamination had to have a new transmission, transmission cooler hoses & radiator replaced. reading multiple sites it appears nissan know about the defect and didn't warn is customers, even when i took my car to get serviced at the nissan dealers. this is bad business and customers should not be financially responsible. i hope the person reading this has the courage to do something about it. it appears that corporations have the power. thank you.
Car had begun shuttering and engine would rev real fast. on particular day car actually quit working for good, husband had pulled into parking space because check engine light came on and from that point forward the car will not crank. when car first started shuttering and revving, car was taken to transmission business and there were several cars of the same make and model (not certain that all were of same year) waiting to have transmissions replaced because coolant had leaked into the transmission and gradually killed them. worker at transmission shop knew exactly what was going on when husband explained what the car was doing, and said there were many people who had had the same complaint.
As i was driving the vehicle on the highway it started to shudder and shake and then finally completely turned off on the highway. once i got it started again it would only go about 20mph i was able to move over to the shoulder and exit the highway. once we took the car to the dealer, they told us that the radiator had leaked into the transmission and also that i needed to replace two catalyctic converters. the total repairs and replacements would cost me $8000 as i would also need to replace the transmission and radiator. we replaced the radiator but of course that is only half the problem. i still owe about $13k on the vehicle, have only had it for 8 months and am now stuck because i dont have the money to replace the transmission and i cant get rid of the truck knowing this problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan pathfinder. the contact stated that there was transmission fluid leaking into the radiator. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that it was motor oil leaking into the radiator. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 103,000. the vin was not available.
The dealer i work for had checked my vehicle since it has been leaking pink fluid from my engine turns out they found on my 20007 nissan pathfinder a coolant in transmission meaning there is an internal transmission cross contamination cooler failure. bottom line they told me i needed a new transmission and fixed me hoses for the power steering fluid costing me over $5300.00 with a huge dealership. i just bought this vehicle in february 16, 2015 from a private dealer and now i am stuck with a huge bill to fix something that should have been made a aware of nationally. this vehicle's carfax is awesome and no engine issues which i made it my business to make sure everything is okay with this vehicle. please take care of this...why do i have suffer being without a car again as a single mother of three this is not right.
Possible transmission failure. brought vehicle to be inspected and could get a clear answer which one of the observations was perform at a nissan dealer. the fluids seems to be mixed, transmission with radiator fluid. seems as this has been and on going problem with nissan. dealer tells me the cant find the recall.
My 2007 nisson pathfinder began having problems and when i brought it to the mechanic, he stated the coolant fluid went into the tranmission and caused major problems and now the radiator and transmission need replacement to the tune of $4900.00 (approximate price given by lee myles). i actually brought the car to a nissan dealer and their quote was $5800.00 and then they statated other isses needed to be repaired and they stated the total cost would be $10,000.00! book value of the car through kelly blue book is $9,600.00 in excellent condition! i saw this is an ongoing problem with pathfinders and i wanted to tell my story. i hope there is something that can be done against nissan! *tr
My 2007 pathfinder has been shifting rough and sounds like i am driving across "rumble strips" used on the road to keep drivers awake. i went to the dealer to get an oil change and explained the issue. after they checked the car out they told me i had power steering fluid in my radiator and coolant in my power steering assembly. when i asked how that could possibly happen, the tech tried to assure me that this is what happens when radiator lines fail. i told them i had never heard of that and wanted to know how this could happen. they told me it would cost $5,250.00 to replace the radiator. the service tech and service manager acted like they knew nothing and suggested i call nissan north america...i did. they told me that since i had reported my issue to the better business bureau my case was sent to the arbitration department. the arbitration guy called and told me my vehicle was out of warranty and there was nothing they could do. i did some research online and found that nissan has known of this problem since 2005. nissan lost a class action suit for this problem but the remedy was to extend the warranty for 100,000 miles. i'm confused because i do not understand how a manufacturer can warranty away a defect. from my research the average mileage for this problem is 112,000 miles. my car is slowly becoming non drivable. i accelerated out of a parking lot but the car moved out into traffic and started rumbling but would not accelerate any further. i almost got hit by another car. why is the consumer responsible for a known defect? isn't a warranty for parts that are manufactured correctly? *tr
