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 owned a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder after front windscreen was hit by a small stone there appeared a crack which I dismissed. I now have a 2009 Pathfinder and the front windscreen was hit by a small stone while driving on the highway and now again I have a cracked windscreen - 2nd time around is not an accident - I consider it a defect in manufacturing.
