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.
No heat at idle or slow speeds since last winter. Finally found out it might be air bubbles in coolant. Discovered very low coolant level in overflow and radiator. Once filled, coolant leaked out. Tested for head gasket leak and results positive. No mention of gasket leak during transmission rebuild from coolant issue or when replaced spark plugs. I cant afford these repairs and have no other vehicle to drive.
