2009 nissan pathfinder. consumer writes in regards to transmission slipping. *ld the consumer stated the vehicle also experienced radiator failure. anti-freeze has to be added to the vehicle almost daily and the water temperature would rise above normal levels. *js
When driving uphill on long mountain roads and shifting the automatic transmission down to 2, 3 or 4, the car won't stay in gear. after a few minutes of driving it will shift by itself into 5 without allowing you to shift down again. you can only go into d or stop and shut down the engine. the transmission shop already replaced the shifting assembly, inspected the entire transmission & wires from the computer. no problem could be identified but the issue remains. the car will stay in lower gears when driving downhill. it's a mystery and very expensive to diagnose further. do you have any ideas? the local nissan dealer is unable to help. they worked on the computer and main circuit boards about 5 yrs ago ' could the have possibly caused this problem? any help would be appreciated.
The defect in the radiator caused the antifreeze and oil to mix. it then mixed with the transmission fluid. that was fixed by a repair shop. now the transmission has slipped out because of the mixture of the three fluids. *tr
