Cracked Radiator & Transmission Failure
2008 Nissan Pathfinder (Page 3 of 5)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Nissan dealer.
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.

I have been without my car since July. It was repaired in May when it happened, and I was told that it was caught in time. Now, the part needed to get back on road is not available. I have contacted NHSC, BBB, State Attorney General and NISSAN, countless times. This is a documented issue, which should have been addressed and my car was in dealership two weeks before.
