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.

Brought my car to Nissan and they could not "hear the noise" could not imaging what it was. Went on line and found that this problem has been well documented, service bulletins by Nissan and there is a class action law suit on this very issue. Pretty disgusting behavior
