  IT IS A ABSOLUTE INJUSTICE THAT NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN DONE ABOUT THE FRAME RUST ISSUE ON THE 1995 NISSAN PATHFINDERS. I JUST PURCHASED ONE A MONTH AGO THINKING I WAS GETTING A GOOD DEAL! THE EXTERIOR OF THE FRAME LOOKED TO BE SOLID. I WAS PUTTING NEW BRAKES ON WHEN I GRABBED THE FRAME FROM THE INSIDE FOR LEVERAGE. MY HAND WENT RIGHT THROUGH. THE BEST PART IS THE TRUCK WAS INSPECTED! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? I LIVE IN SCHUYLKILL COUNTY AND FREQUENT JOE'S U PULL IT SALVAGE YARD. THERE ARE LITERALLY A HUNDRED OR MORE PATHFINDERS IN THE YARD THAT LOOK VERY NICE WITH NO FRAME LEFT. I HAVE ALSO STUMBLED ACROSS NUMEROUS FORUMS WITH THOUSANDS LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE. I GUESS NHTSA WILL JUST IGNORE THE PROBLEM UNTIL A CERTAIN NUMBER IS REACHED OF FATALITIES. WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THERE IS IMMINENT PROOF THAT THE DEATHS WERE DUE TO STRUCTURAL FAILURE OF THE FRAME. *TR

  THERE EXISTS A CONDITION WHERE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WARPS, SHEARING THE BOLTS. THIS IS A $500+ REPAIR JOB. THIS HAS BEEN KNOWN TO NISSAN SINCE (AT LEAST) 1992. YET THEY CONTINUED TO MANUFACTURE A FLAWED DESIGN. IS THIS NOT FRAUD? NHTSA STATES ON THE WEBSITE THAT SAFETY-RELATED FAILURES MUST BE REPAIRED BY THE MFG- IN THIS CASE, IF THE VEHICLE IS AT IDLE EXHAUST FUMES ENTER THE CABIN, AND CAN SUFFOCATE THOSE INSIDE. *AK

  EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS ARE FAILING, CAUSING EXHAUST LEAKS. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED PROBLEM (TSB94041) THAT ANY MECHANIC WILL ATTEST TO. TOTAL REPAIR IS 800.00 FOR BOTH SIDES. NISSAN REFUSES TO OFFER ANY HELP IN THE MATTER. CARBON MONOXIDE MAY ENTER THE VEHICLE IF IT IS NOT FIXED. *AK

  I OWN A 1995 NISSAN PATHFINDER SE. OTHER PEOPLE ARE KNOWN TO HAVE THIS ISSUE AS WELL. THE FRAME ROTS OUT EXTREMELY FAST AND DEEMS THE VEHICLE UNSAFE. PEOPLE SINK THEIR OWN HARD EARNED MONEY INTO THEIR VEHICLE ONLY TO FIND OUT IT'S NO LONGER SAFE AND NISSAN'S DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT NOR TAKES RESPONSIBILITY. IF TOYOTA CAN STEP UP WHY NOT NISSAN? IT'S A TOP 5 AUTO MAKER FOR GODS SAKE... *TR

  I PURCHASED A 1995 NISSAN PATHFINDER SE IN JUNE, 2007 FOR $3000. IN 2010 I HAD TO HAVE THE STARTER REPLACED. THIS VEHICLE WAS LOADED ONTO A TRAILER TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A FRIEND OF MINE TO HAVE THE NEW STARTER PUT ON. WHEN HE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO ME, AFTER THE STARTER WAS PUT ON, HE HAD ME LOOK AT THE FRAME. IT WAS SO RUSTED OUT THAT I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. BUT I HAD TO, ONLY VEHICLE TO DRIVE. YOU COULD PUT YOUR FIST THROUGH THE RUST. AFTER GOING ONLINE AND DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT ALOT OF 1995 NISSAN PATHFINDER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN DONE. I ALSO CONTACTED THE INDIANA ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE AND GOT THEM INVOLVED. STILL NO SOLUTION SINCE NO RECALL HAS BEEN DONE. FINALLY IN JUNE OF 2011, I SOLD IT TO A JUNK YARD FOR $250. YES, I COULD HAVE SOLD IT TO A PRIVATE PARTY, BUT DID NOT WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE IF THEY DROVE IT AND THE FRAME BROKE WHILE DRIVING. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE CAN BE AN INVESTIGATION IN THIS. TOYOTA HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND REIMBURSED THOSE PEOPLE AT 150% OF BOOK VALUE. *TR

  I HAVE A 1995 NISSAN QUEST VEHICLE THAT HAD A SAFETY RECALL FOR A CRACKED FUEL TANK VENT HOSE THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A FIRE. THE RECALL WORK WAS PERFORMED IN JUNE 2001 WITH THE RECALL NOTICE STATING THAT THE HOSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TO PREVENT THE HOSE FROM CRACKING AND CAUSING A FUEL LEAK. ON NOV. 5TH 2004, MY VEHICLE FAILED IT'S ANNUAL STATE EMISSIONS TEST, WITH THE REPORT SAYING THAT I HAD A FUEL SYSTEM LEAK. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP DISCOVERED THE FUEL TANK VENT HOSE CRACKED AND LEAKING AND CHARGED ME $170 TO REPLACE IT. I PROTESTED THE CHARGE BECAUSE THE RECALL WORK WAS SUPPOSED TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. THIS SAFETY RECALL IS NOT EFFECTIVE. NISSAN TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL WORK IS ONLY WARRANTED FOR 1 YEAR. MY CONTENTION IS THAT THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS FROM HAPPENING AND THE LATEST WORK SHOULD BE COVERED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR NISSAN WOULD AGREE TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE EXPENSE. SINCE THE HOSE SHOULD NOT HAVE CRACKED AGAIN, I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE EXPENSE. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE RECALL WORK WAS NOT EFFECTIVE.*AK

  1959 NISSAN, PATHFINDER ROTTED FRAME. DID NOT KNOW THAT THERE WAS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. I WENT TO GET MY MUFFLER SYSTEM REPLACED AND WAS TOLD NOT TO SPEND THE MONEY BECAUSE THE FRAME WAS COMPLETELY ROTTED AND WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION IN JUNE. HE THEN PROCEED TO PUT HIS HAND THROUGH THE ROT IN THE DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE FRAME. I WAS TOLD IF I WERE TO HIT A POT HOLE THAT WOULD BE THE END OF THE CAR. THE CAR DID NOT HAVE ANY ROT ON THE BODY-WAS IN EXCELLENT RUNNING CONDITION AND ALWAYS REPLACING ANYTHING THAT NEEDED TO-WAS ALWAYS TAKEN CARE OF. THAT'S WHEN I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A DEFECT THAT NISSAN KNEW ABOUT BUT NEVER DID ANYTHING OR NOTIFIED ANY OWNER ABOUT IT. I WAS NOT ABLE TO TAKE ANYONE IN THE CAR WITH ME AFTER THIS IN FEAR THAT I WOULD HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND SOMEONE WOULD GET HURT. I WAS FORCED TO BUY ANOTHER CAR BEFORE BY JUNE INSPECTION OR WOULD NO VEHICLE AT ALL. *TR

OUR NEW MECHANIC AT CHAMPION NISSAN TOLD US AS WELL AS CALLING WARRANTY HOTLINE, THAT THE TIRES WITH OR WITHOUT ALIGNMENT ARE UNUSALLY WORN AND VERY DANGEROUS. WE DO NOT HAVE MONEY AT THIS TIME TO REPLACE THE TIRES AND AFTER ALL THE FIRESTONE INCIDENTS, HAVE HARDLY DRIVEN THE TRUCK. OUR WARRANTY STATES COVERAGE FOR 48 MONTHS AND/OR 50,000 MILES. IT'S BEEN 1 YEAR AND ALMOST 21,000 MILES, AFTER HAVING THE WHEELS ALIGNED, ROTATED AND BALANCED, WITH ALL THE TIRE PROBLEMS SURFACING, I'M SHOCKED WTC WON'T HONNOR THEIR WARRANTY.
