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 2010 model when they extended their radiator warranty on 2005-2010 Pathfinders to 8 years/80,000 miles in response to the transmission defect.
I have had to replace my battery a couple of times with in a one year period. After battery number three I had an argument with the guy at the dealership that there must be something electrical that was causing the batteries to keep failing. He stated that there was nothing wrong with the electrical system. One week later, I had to replace the alternator and the battery. I called Nissan Corporate to complain (to no avail). I have replaced the alternator two more times in the last two weeks!!! Now that I am over the 36K miles --> the cost is all on me. Nissan was good to delay me until after the warranty was up. Nissan Corporate wants me to take it back to Nissan and pay them for another diagnostic before they will even discuss the matter with me and of course they want me to pay for this diagnostic exam.
