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 vehicle was 3 years old and I was told it wasn't covered under warranty! I even purchased the 160,000 km super-duper extended warranty, for what? Apparently only major issues. I realize it's just a/c but in southern Ontario it gets damn hot in the summer and I have 3 small kids. Is rust in 3 years normal??? I was told to replace lines at $1500 cost to me. I was told that the reason it was so expensive was because they would have to remove the engine to get at the lines. If this is regular maintenance then why is it so damn difficult to do??
