CarComplaints.com Notes: While there are fewer "radiator leaked into transmission" complaints for the 2008 model year, they are starting to pile up. Buyer beware.
Nissan has extended their radiator warranty on 2005-2010 Pathfinders to 8 years/80,000 miles. However the average mileage for transmission failure for earlier model years is 95,000 miles, which conveniently (for Nissan) is just past the limit of their extended warranty. Owners beware.
So, one day just randomly my horn stopped working. Found out, that it actually does work but only when you turn the steering wheel to the left.. what the hell?? I take it to get it fixed, its not so easy and they couldn't even give me the cost. They said they have to take the whole steering wheel off first then they can tell me the problem but its not easy to do because you have to use special tools.. to me, that was code for cost a lot!! So as of right now, I have no horn. Hope nobody hits me... Not to mention its getting harder and harder to turn. I am not sure if the problem is related. Checked the power steering fluid and its fine, so, I was told my steering pump may be going out.. more money!! I am SO tired of the problems with this vehicle. I have never had issues with a car like this before. I have spent about $7000 in the past year and half trying to get everything fixed!! I had a Nissan Altima and loved it before this.. I don't know if I will ever get another Nissan again after this!!
