My transmission went out twice. It first broke about two months after I drove it. Repairs came to about $1,200. It's alot of money because i have a automatic transmission. Then after that I worked perfectly for about two and a half years and then the transmission broke on me again. So then that cost me about $800. Fixed broken exhaust manifold bolts. Brake lines have problems. I spun out a total of three times on the freeway trying to avoid bad Los Angeles drivers.
This truck has a solid body. It controls very well, but lacks power. I would be happy if this truck had about 160 horsepower. I just want enough to past motorists when I change lanes and just enough to go up hills with ease. I happy with what I got. It's a very reliable truck. I would buy another one. The only downside is the transmission, but other than than it's a great truck.
What is it with the transmissions in the pathfinders? I have a 1989 that has had 3 transmission go bad.
Automatics wear out faster.
