| My wife was driving our two week old 2013 nissan pathfinder platinum edition with my four year old daughter when the transmission failed and the vehicle became disabled. the transmission completely failed and the car had to be towed to the local nissan dealer. i was told today that the coolant line burst and that the transmission fluid leaked from the vehicle. as a precaution they will be replacing the radiator, transmission line (s), as well as the transmission on the vehicle before returning it to us. the dealer claims that the transmission and radiator did not get affected buy the incident and that they are replacing those parts as a precautionary measure. i have done some research online and learned that a number of other 2013 pathfinders have suffered from the same catastrophic issue. i also learned that previous generations of the pathfinder had similar issues which nissan was very slow to acknowledge. when a vehicle that is traveling at a moderate to high rate of speed looses transmission the driver becomes at risk for a major accident. the vehicle cannot be driven and in our case my wife was saved by a aaa employee who was kind enough to push her car out of the way of oncoming traffic. these cars need to be recalled immediately before someone gets killed. if you are reading this and you know someone who drives this vehicle please tell them to take it to their nissan service department immediately. i am convinced this is going to require a recall. our car had 450 mile on it for gods sake. | |||
