The transmission began to slip. Slow moving . Then vehicle would not start. Engine code u1000. Had the vehicle towed to a repair shop. They replaced the started. I paid them 400.00. I got in the vehicle it would not start. The mechanic replaced a 20a fuse in the fuse box for the ecu. Drove vehicle home, then would not start again. Researched online stumbled onto article about defective nissan transmission being a ticking time bomb. Check transmission fluid, strawberry milk shake. Radiator fluid dark. Thanks nissan , I bought this vehicle used, found out the engine was bad, spent 8000.00 replacing the engine and now the transmission and radiator are bad. I will never purchase another nissan. Why wasn't there a recall for the radiator ???

I had just bought this vehicle off of ebay from individuals in new braunfels , texas drove it back to amarillo , texas. I went to drop a load of items off at amarillo's giving closet for people in need. It ran perfect on the way over there. I turned the ignition off while I was unloading everything. When I went to start my vehicle it would not start although the lights and things would come on. The vehicle was later towed to a shop and I was told that it was being caused by the vehicle control. Now the transmission is messed up acts if there is no 1st or 2nd gear taking off in 3rd gear automatic transmission. Since then my husband was pinned under a seminar trailer he was working on and lost his leg. I can not afford to pay for another vehicle. Please help me. I was just informed of a problem with nissan and this.

Takata recall . We were on our way back home with our children and a the pathfinder made it made a loud noise so we pulled over off the highway and the pathfinder wouldn't start. We had to call a tow truck to tow us home. We waited on the side of the road for 3 hours with a 10 year old and a 3 month old. We are very disappointed and after doing some research I found that the 2007 pathfinder appears to have a widespread defect where coolant leaks into the transmission, causing transmission failure around 100,000 miles. Repair costs are typically upwards of $4,500.

I stopped at the gas station to get fuel. I turned the vehicle off and put gas in the vehicle. When I got back in the vehicle, it will not start.. I towed the vehicle to the nissan dealership in elizabeth city north carolina. After my vehicle was diagnosed it was determined that the internal cooler in the radiator burst and leaked transmission fluid in the radiator and antifreeze had leaked into my transmission. The tech explained that the antifreeze have cause the internal computer in the transmission to not function properly. He stated that the fuse kept blowing out. After speaking with the dealership they wanted to charge me $3000.00 dollars to replace the radiator and transmission. I explained to them that I had no warning signs at all. I was told by the tech to call nissan corporation for further detail. Once I called the corporation, an investigation claim was initiated. She told me that some will contact me by monday (10/24/16). So now its like a wait and see game. I was told that the radiator had a warranty on it up to 100,000 miles of until 02/2017. I did explained to the tech that the failed part in the radiator caused my transmission to get damage.

On friday, august the 8th on the way to work on the interstate I accelerated going up a hill and the gear change in the transmission was extremely rough. It was like when a manual transmission is knocked out of gear, of course this vehicle is an automatic transmission. Like a manual transmission being knocked out of gear the vehicle had a very quick deceleration although I as still pressing the gas pedal. This almost caused the car behind me to rear end me. Eventually the vehicle acted like it went back in gear. When I exited off of the interstate, came to a stop at the end of the off ramp, and tried to accelerate the vehicle again acted like the motor was engaging but not the transmission, almost causing another rear end collision. I managed to get the vehicle to the parking lot at work. It set there for the day until I was leaving to go home. The vehicle would not start. The vdc and slip lights would come on when I attempted to start. I left the vehicle at work. I returned on saturday. I got a auto code from the vehicle of p0717 referring to the turbine speed sensor. I found the 10 amp a/t ecu fuse was blown. I replaced the fuse and the vehicle cranked but immediately blew the fuse again and would not start again if turned off. I left the vehicle and did some research finding the issue with the radiator fluid contaminating the transmission and causing the transmission to go out. My company mechanic and I looked at the vehicle on monday and found the radiator empty of fluid and the transmission fluid contaminated. Someone is going to be severely injured id this issue is not brought to the owners of these vehicles. The vehicle is still sitting where I left it until I decide whether I am going to have to replace what I am sure is a bad transmission due to a faulty manufacturers design.

Car would not start. Local mechanic could not figure out why. Towed 30 miles to dealership. Was told coolant leaked into transmission and would need to completely replace transmission at a cost of $5,000. Nissan knows this is an issue, however the mileage is too high for them to help me out at all.

Transmission cooler inside the radiator cracked and got coolant in the transmission, causing the transmission to die. We went to turn the car on and it wouldn't start, from there we towed it to a mechanic who told us what had happened.

After hearing a lot of about this problem I decided to make a complaint because it is not fair for anyone to go through this. My 2007 pathfinder suddenly lost complete power and it wouldn't start at all after having a mechanic check it he gave me a diagnose that it was the transmission which I didn't believe I said what does the transmission has to do with power but it has a lot to do after I did some research it comes to this. The coolant on the vehicle gets inside the transmission and mixes with the oil causing the TCM (transmission control module) to fail and not to sent signal so the vehicle will start. So now I have to repair the transmission and the radiator cost will be more than 3000 dollars. I been the only owner of this car and have take good care of it as much as I can I just pay off this car 2 years ago and I don't think is fair for us that had has this problems to paid for it I think nissan america should do a recall on this and help us the consumers.

At first, the car wouldn't start occasionally. I replaced the battery and fuses. This helped temporarily. Now, the car won't start unless I place a new ecu fuse each time I attempt to start it. Changing the fuse will start the car, but it lacks power and is quick to stall out. When I took it to the mechanic, he discovered coolant in my transmission. After reading information from several websites, I realized this is an ongoing issue with this make/model of car.

Car had begun shuttering and engine would rev real fast. On particular day car actually quit working for good, husband had pulled into parking space because check engine light came on and from that point forward the car will not crank. When car first started shuttering and revving, car was taken to transmission business and there were several cars of the same make and model (not certain that all were of same year) waiting to have transmissions replaced because coolant had leaked into the transmission and gradually killed them. Worker at transmission shop knew exactly what was going on when husband explained what the car was doing, and said there were many people who had had the same complaint.
