Transmission issues for Pathfinder

Asked by Danny Cantwell

With no warning the auto transmission in my 2009 Nissan Pathfinder disintegrated at 130,000 km. The cost of repairs is about $5000-$6000. Have you had any feedback on what seems to be major problem?

It isn't unusual to have a problem with the auto at that sort of mileage. Most appear to be down to a problem with the oil cooler splitting, which allows coolant to enter the transmission, which can then cause problems with the inbuilt ECU.
