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.
Vehicle underbody components corrode excessively. Rear wheel well doors jam seals allow moisture to collect underneath them, causing paint bubbling and body rust. Have been fighting this recurring rust issue at the doors for three years now. Had the vehicle undercoated at Z-Bart in an attempt to extend the vehicle's life. I've owned a lot of vehicles in the salty north during my driving lifetime but never had one looking so corroded this quickly. I keep the vehicle clean and washed but can't fight poor corrosion resistant design and parts by the OEM. Vehicle shows corrosion equal to a car twice it's age.
