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.
Shortly after we had purchased our "certified pre-owned" nissan pathfinder, the tray next to the shift selector would not stay closed. The damn little plastic tab that clicks into place when you shut it had broken off. This had only happened because we used it, i thought thats what it was for, i guess we never should have touched it because even consumer reports said that fit and finish on the interior trim was weak and cheap.
Shortly after that, the rear cup holders that fold down to service the rear passengers became inoperable and wont return to its closed position. How dare we think we could use that part also. For an off road capable vehical, it sure is put together cheaply.
