#95 of 106 Leaking Radiator/Transmission issue... by srexy1 Oct 08, 2009 (11:41 am)
Victim # 14,265,000..(kidding) Just put in the shop today. Service manager was surprised that I knew exactly what was wrong with it... Tells me it will cost $5,100.00. '05, 108,000 miles. I had it sitting in the driveway for almost a month before deciding to get a 'loan' to get it fixed. It would be nice if I could pay off a vehicle completely before dealing with issues like this. This is my second consecutive new Nissan product (out of warranty) with a major repair prior to paying off the initial loan. If anyone knows friends/family with this vehicle, direct them to this forum and warn them ASAP. My thought is that this will end up with lawyers and a bunch of unhappy customers. I think we are the initial wave of victims, and as others reach higher mileage totals, they too will have the same issue...

#97 of 106 96 pathfinder transmission downshifting or changeing gears by larry141 Nov 05, 2009 (5:51 pm)
I have a 96 LE pathfinder--I think it has a sensor problem--While driveing after it warms up it sometimes goes into a downshifting mode and the RPM jumps up and after awhile it will shift back to a higher gear.It has gotten bad over time.I think it may be a heat sensor in the transmission but I am not sure.Has anyone had this problem--Sometimes it will change gears 3 or 4 times in a short time.Never does it when it is not warmed up Thanks Replies to this message: 99accent (Nov 05, 2009 8:25 pm)

Replying to: larry141 (Nov 05, 2009 5:51 pm) theres a speed sensor in the tranny usually on the side, let a good tran ny guy look at it and adjust it or replace it.

Replying to: towel1981 (Sep 24, 2008 4:06 pm) The mechanic told you the right thing, I have 2006 pathfinder and it does the same on slope roads in terms of being in drive but it would role back alittle which is normal.I wouldn't shift gears on the slope or even park on it to be honest with you because the owners manual said that the pathfinder should be parked on even grounds.
#100 of 106 rol back? by 99accent Nov 07, 2009 (2:15 am)
What is your question the roll back or not shifting?

Replying to: jan48 (Oct 06, 2009 11:47 am) How's that class action suit coming? My issue with all of this is... If I hadn't done any searching about the problem online, I would have never known about it. I took it into service and already had it diagnosed for them. Nissan has obviously known about the problem for some time now. You would think they would have informed their customers about it so they could have the option to do some preventative maintenance, if nothing else. Even out of warranty. I would much rather have replaced my radiator, instead of the radiator and transmission. But wasn't given the choice...

Replying to: srexy1 (Nov 16, 2009 1:45 pm) was this a radiator defect or the tranny cooling lines iside the radiator defect?

Replying to: srexy1 (Nov 16, 2009 1:45 pm) As I understand it the main problem is not really with the radiator itself but with the transmission fluid cooling line within the radiator that is prone to failure. The solution is not replacing the radiator but by-passing the cooling line within the radiator so that even if the cooling line eventually fails the possibility of coolant contaminating your transmission fluid is completely eliminated.

Replying to: jk05mdx (Nov 17, 2009 12:33 am) so if you bypass theinternal cooling line you need to reconnect it with a tranny cooling line bypass kit ,is this correct? Replies to this message: lildavidjax (Nov 17, 2009 6:31 am) 99accent (Nov 17, 2009 7:59 am)
