CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2005-2007 Pathfinder appears to have a widespread defect where coolant leaks into the transmission, causing transmission failure around 90,000 miles. Repair costs are typically upwards of $3,500.
According to the New York Times & a class action lawsuit, the defect actually extends through 2010 model year. More info here.
Although the radiator and the thermostat assembly has been replaced, the heater keeps blowing very hot air, followed by cold air. The car then overheats and blow off a gallon or so of fluid. This has repeated several times and the problem can't be located. Just can't trust the car.

I was on a road trip from CO to CA and my AC decided to fail as I was driving through Arizona during a heat wave. Not fun.
