What owners wrote

I have a nissan pathfinder (2006) and as I was driving along around 50MPH, everything died. The gauges, blinkers, lights, etc went dead. The motor was still running, but the accelerator would not work. I had to coast off of the road. I took it to the dealer, and they found nothing wrong. It has happened since then, every time I have driven the car for more than 15 miles. There is also a burning odor and when everything dies, there is a high-pitched static sound that comes through the speakers.

Reported at 83,000 miles, September 2009

Check engine light came on, diagnostic for auto trans sensor. Mechanic flushed transmission then couldn't replace sensor due to on going problem with radiator leaking coolant to transmission
