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 transmission on my 2006 Nissan Pathfinder will has a rough vibration while in gear. I have to accelerate and change gears for it to stop. The vehicle started doing this at around 90,000 miles and it still has less than 120,000 now in 2016. The vehicle has never been abused and my problem is that the things that are going wrong with it are severely high in cost. It doesn't have enough miles to be having this kind of a problem.
