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.
My first Nissan Pathfinder was completely awesome. I had over 215,000 miles on the vehicle with no major repairs, which is why I bought the same vehicle 10 years later. The new Pathfinder (2010) has now had a couple of major repairs - a/c and now the transmission with less than 165,000 miles and only 6 years old. I now have to take back all the great things I have told my friends and family about Nissans.
JUST FOUND OUT YESTERDAY THAT THE RADIATOR HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND NOW BOTH ARE SHOT!!! I HAD THE CAR IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS AT LEAST 3 TIMES WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE COMPUTER WASN'T PICKING UP ON ANY PROBLEMS.
