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.
The problem began the day after I fueled up. Car was running rough and did not have power. I have taken the car to the shop, but mechanic has not repaired yet. This is exactly how my previous problem started, but there was no codes showing up on the computer diagnostics before. This time it does show that there is a problem with #3 cylinder. Mechanic has been tied up and has not tried to check further. I would really like to hear from others who have experienced similar problems. There were really numerous complaints regarding 2005's on other websites, can't believe I don't see another IPDM failure or engine failure to start on this site.
