| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The automatic transmission failed on my car. after traveling from philadelphia to queens ny approaching a stop light i slowed down while doing so the suv suddenly made a loud grinding noise and the engine reved very high however the output of the vehicle was only at a crawl. i imediately pulled over to the side of the road and shifted to park the loud grinding noise could be heard again only louder. this car was my first new purchase i routinely service it at the dealership, and now at 78,000 miles am found stranded in ny trying to replace the transmission. i have been researching the pathfinder only to find that the whole transmission is susceptible to over heating which cause metal deterioration in the trans itself. why haven't we heard of a recall yet! how long can this problem continue?*ak |
