| 2005 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | 2005 PATHFINDER WOULDN'T GO IN GEAR INTERMITTENTLY AND I HAD TO MANEUVER OUT OF TRAFFIC TO THE SIDE ROAD AND THEN WAS UNABLE TO BACKUP NO REVERSE! I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND I WAS THEN ABLE TO TO DRIVE HOME AND PARK THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN THE NEXT DAY WHEN TAKING IT TO OUR MECHANIC TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC HAD ISSUE OF THIS WHILE TEST DRIVING. RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO A NISSAN DEALER FOR REPAIR. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO NISSAN ABOUT A DEFECTIVE RADIATOR ISSUE AND OVER TIME LEAKS INTO THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS REFUSED TO MAKE THIS RIGHT FOR THEIR CONSUMERS. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CONTACT NISSAN TO SEE IF THEY WOULD HELP WITH REPAIR. NISSAN REFUSED TO ASSIST OR REPAIR THE ISSUE THAT STARTED WITH A KNOWN DEFECTIVE PART. I AM ASSUMING BY THE RESPONSE RECEIVED FROM NISSAN THAT THEY ARE OK WITH A CONSUMER THAT CAN'T AFFORD TO REPAIR THEIR VEHICLE WITH AN ISSUE THAT IS FROM A KNOWN DEFECTIVE PART HAVE TO TAKE THEIR CHANCES IN DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK SAFELY UNTIL THEY CAN MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE. THANK YOU NISSAN. *KB |
