The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was informed that the radiator was leaking into the transmission. Both the transmission and the radiator were replaced.

Pathfinder 6-cyl

  • 110,000 miles
My son was on his way to school when I received a call from him informing me that the Pathfinder was running hot. I advised him to pull over and wait until I arrive. When I let the hood up, I saw foam-like substances coming from the radiator. I had the vehicle towed to a mechanic shop to have it checked out. He informed me that the radiator had burst and leaked into the transmission. He changed the radiator and informed me that the transmission would stop working soon. Since than, I have changed the fluid 3 times @ $60 each time and the fluid is still pinkish. Now my transmission vibrates between 40 and 50 mph
