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.
I had noticed the oil pressure gauge was pegged out; dealer pointed it out and said that the diaphragm fails and oil gets on the back side where the strain gauge is causing the fault. The gauge was replaced while I was there getting brake work.
I hate this car! It is not worth it. Stupid Oil Pressure Switch failed causing oil gauge to constantly read at high. Had fixed for $225. Still waiting for my radiator to leak into the transmission, which Nissan has warned me WILL happen even though they wont issue a recall or do anything to prevent it from happening. As soon as it gets out of the shop for the wheel falling off I am trading this deathtrap for something safe and GERMAN!
