| No incident has occurred to date. however, i also do not like gambling with my family and their lives. our 2010 nissan pathfinder is the primary vehicle for my family. the reported issues with failing radiator and transmission must be addressed to prevent loss of life. nissan recognizes the issue and the best they could do to date is to issue an extended warranty coverage. that is not good enough. please step in and enforce a safety recall on those vehicles. prevention is called for in this instance. i have discussed this with nissan corporate and logged a case number with them. *tr | |||
