Infiniti fx35 2003

My car has been losing heat off and on for a couple months now. About two weeks ago it started to overheat while I was driving home. When I pulled over there was coolant pouring out of the bottom of my car. A hose had blown. I had the hose repaired on the spot and added more coolant. The car still kept over heating so I took it to Infinity. They said it was my radiator and I needed a new one. $801.00. So I paid to have it fixed. I drove it for a day and the same problem came back...overheating! I returned it and it has been at the dealership for two weeks. A week and a half went by without any update from the dealership, I decided to call and got sent straight to voicemail. The service manager called me back and said no worries just keep the loaner we are still working on it. Then I get a message from service saying they think they fixed it but they just want to keep it one more day to be sure. The manager was going to drive it home and then back the next morning to test it. No call for two more days and now I just get a call saying it is a leak in the gasket and I need to replace both heads and gaskets, plugs etc... basically a whole new top part of the enginge. $5600.00. I know other people have had the same issue with the Fx 35 2003. Hopefully it is just a flaw in that year since it was the first year they were made. I was concidering getting another one but now I have my concerns. My husband has a 2006 Pathfinder and just had a radiator problem which caused a leak of antifreeze into the transmission which both had to be replaced for $7500.00. Thank god they warrantied it. It actually is a defect with the radiator but they can't recall all of them because they would go bankrupt. So they are waiting and fixing them as they get complaints hoping that it happens after warranty. I don't know Nissan was always my favorite but now I'm not sure....seems there quality is going way down but thier prices keep going up! Guess I'm going car shopping :-/
