2010 with 87,000 miles *Trans FAIL!*
I took my Pathy in at 87,000 miles to have a once over done before the warranty expired. Up to this point I've had minimal issues but wanted to make sure everything was caught before it came out of my pocket. I told the dealership that the pathy does a hard shift into overdrive (happened maybe twice) but it could have been due to ice (I'm in Alaska). They found coolant in the transmission so now I'm waiting for a new one and a reengineered radiator. Nissan would pay for it except a 2,500 deductable but I have a aftermarket warranty so I'm only out 100 bucks. I guess it could be worse considering its almost 10K for a repair.

Nissan extended the radiator warranty for those in the 2005-2010 range, but so far this is the first incident we've heard of after the 2008 model year. The bulk of the problems have been in the 2005-2007 models. We've only heard of a very few 2008 failures, so the thinking has been that the updated radiators started to be implemented somewhere in the 2008 model year. No 2009 models have reported the issue on this forum, that I'm aware of, so having a 2010 experience the issue raises a bit of concern for those post-2008 owners that thought they might be safe!impulsepath wrote:Aren't all 2005-2010 Pathfinders susceptible to this?
It would be a surprise if a 2011 or 2012 model year pathfinder had this problem.

It is supposed to be ready for pickup today. When I go in I'll find out what the radiator part number was and what they replaced it with. I didn't expect this when I dropped it off but just wanted a once over before the warranty expired. My warranty is through a third party (Fidelity) so they sent an adjuster out to verify Nissan's diagnostics. At least I know it's not the dealership pulling some dump S*^t.
