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 was traveling at approx. 35 mph when the car shuddered violently for a second or two, all panel lights lit up and everything completely shut down while going through a very busy 6-lane intersection. All steering, brakes, and maneuverability were lost. I was lucky to coast to a safe spot and if this had happened on an interstate it may have easily been catastrophic. The dealer found a failed cam shaft sensors (their verbiage on the bill). Replaced both and the crank sensor.
Service engine soon, light turned on as soon as I turned on the vehicle and have not turned off since and for no reason, until I had a diagnostic test done the code was P0181 and it appears to be an issue with fuel system. Light is still on.
Heater hose broke suddenly while driving in moderate traffic on the freeway causing a short burst of steam and the engine to overheat. Mechanics stated that this part did not show abnormal wear and tear and should not have busted on a 2010 vehicle. There was no warning, the break was sudden and we were lucky to be able to safely move to the side of the busy freeway before the engine overheated.
