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 ???

While driving today the rpms went crazy and I almost wrecked . The car would spudder and then rev up. Also, at a stop light when trying to go the car seems to barely move and acts like it's going to die. Now we have transmission problems and have had to replace radiator,hoses, and all fluids in transmission and 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.

Our transmission started shuttering in 2018. Transmission completely stopped working. There was no milky fluid so we simply replaced transmission with a used tranny. 6 months later 2nd tranny failed with only 1st & 2nd working. We took both transmissions to a specialist. He explained that the current antifreeze does not leave milky fluid and both transmissions were contaminated. This means that the radiator was leaking into the transmission causing the failure of both. He told us this is a known issue with the pathfinder.
