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.
When I would attempt to quickly accelerate when merging into traffic or passing someone, the power would significantly decrease to like 10 miles/hr, check engine light would come on. I would have to turn vehicle off and restart it.
The 1st repair didn't fix the problem. The mechanic didn't seem aware of this problem. Online I saw other Pathfinder owners describing same problem.
When I took it back, they "stumbled" across the problem and fix. From what I recall it was a piece that should not have where it was. REALLY wish I could recall the details.
Anyway, we were out $400 that didn't correct the issue.
