What owners wrote
The coolant has mixed up with the transmission fluid, and it is having problems with shifting. I done some research online,and found out that this a major issue with nissan and they are not willing to fix this issue. It says that there a hose leak issue into the transmission. Now m car is sitting I n my driveway,dead.
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.
