Verdict on 2011-2012 Pathfinders regarding radiator/tranny?

Postby impulsepath » Sun Jan 27, 2013 9:42 am

I've done a lot of reading on Pathfinder radiator/transmission issue and it seems to be affecting years 2005-2010. Are years 2011 and 2012 affected also? I wonder why the extended warranty stops at 2010, is it because somebody decided so, radiator for 2011/12 has been upgraded or there just have not been (many) failures on 2011/12 because they are still so new and the problem has not appeared yet?
Do you know of radiator/tranny failures on 2011/12s?
I have a 2012 and I think I am OK, but you never know...

Updated part number. There are no failures for the 11+ models

Regardless if they actually changed something in the production process or not....you should be good for a number of years. The problems seem to just now be creeping up on the '08 models. In a few years if you see '11 models having that problem....then I guess you might want to take action. I certainly wouldn't do anything while under warranty.
