Re: Side to side wobble

Good thing I found this thread, I have an 05 pathfinder LE and have the same the problem, I get a side to side wobble on the highways if I hit a bump with the same exact feeling as previously described; also the ride is really harsh, but the ride was always really harsh it's just something I accept...

Got the PF back today. Took it for a drive to test it out. Runs well, the shop changed the oil, flushed the trans twice, replaced the radiator, flushed the cooling system and tightened the exhaust heat shield so it doesn't rattle anymore. The trans is by no means working well though. If you're genti...

New radiator is installed and the trans has been flushed. Shop says the car runs and shifts fine now. Still there getting everything checked out. Gave them a list of fluids to change and areas to check. Hopefully nothing else turns up. Thanks for all the advice so far.

No kidding, I'm amazed this thing has lasted this long with the sparse maintenance that has been done so far. I just wanted to know if there was anything particular on the truck that should have failed by 130k and should be inspected or replaced. I am having the shop go through the engine and change...

It's true, this 2008 is the victim of the radiator-trans issue. I got a call from the mechanic today and He confirmed that the radiator went along with the oil cooler inside causing the fluids to mix and then the engine to overheat. I talked to my sister and she said she doesn't remember the tranny ...

This all happened at 11pm on my way home from work. The area I was in has no street lights so it was very hard to see what was happening with the flashlight on my phone. The coolant mix was very thick and sludgy. From what I could see it looked like the mix just exploded everywhere. The radiator ove...

Losing air and TPMS on '08 S

Anyone experience their tires losing air constantly? They are BF Goodrich tires, not sure the exact type. The TPMS light is eternally on as well. Even when the tires are inflated to a proper psi. The sensors in a few wheels have been replaced and the issue still persists. Any ideas?

So many issues, where to begin?

My sister has been in Germany for 6 months on active duty. She's coming home in a month so I recently talked to her and she asked me to take a look at her car and get it back in shape after sitting for so long. I picked the car up from her house and I noticed the trans was slipping as soon as I pull...
