CarComplaints.com Notes: There are no warning signs of the same "radiator leaked and killed my transmission" complaints that have plagued previous model years.
For earlier Pathfinder model years (2005-2008), a defect in the radiator allows engine coolant to leak into the transmission. However this defect doesn't appear to affect Pathfinders from 2009 & later. Nissan did include the 2009-2010 models when they extended their radiator warranty on 2005-2010 Pathfinders to 8 years/80,000 miles in response to the transmission defect.

I have a 2009 Nissan Pathfinder SE. At around 85,600 miles, when we had only owned the vehicle for about 50 days, my 12 year old daughter slammed the back door when she got out of the car (she was used to closing our Ford Expedition doors). Apparently, the force broke a piece of the panel which got jammed in the door. Couldn't open the door. Learned they would have to remove and disassemble the door, which they said would be very costly so we drove around, crawling over the seat to the other door, for nearly 3 months before finally throwing in the towel and getting it fixed. Luckily, it only cost $50 to have them remove the piece of broken panel. Did not replace the piece and the door s working fine.
