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.

ignition key won't turn, steering locked, shift locked

I can't start the vehicle and get to work. The key won't turn in the ignition, the steering column is locked. I tried all the buttons on the remote entry system nothing works. A light on the dash blinks in the form of a car. Is this a warning sign? i can't start the vehicle and get to work.
