The Nissan Path

I dropped my 2007 Pathfinder off at the dealer to get a transmission service. It has been shifting hard and I figured a flush and fill would do the trick.

I just got a call from the service department. They said that the coolant and transmission fluid have been mixing together and the trans service will not help... He said that it needs a new transmission and a radiator. How much is that going to cost you ask? NOTHING!!!! It's covered under a factory warranty until 80k miles and it's not going to cost me a dime.

Good thing I brought it in, because I am at 76k miles now.

Excellent timing indeed. It sounds like you weren't familiar with the extended warranty on these. Nissan sent out letters a couple years ago. I have to wonder how many people have ended up paying for the repair? I'm sure many folks would skip the dealer and just go to an independent shop for a high mileage vehicle.

I wasn't familiar at all, especially since I just picked it up this past September.
