• 12/31/2014· ENGINE

  CHECK ENGINE LIGHT INDICATED A PROBLEM. AFTER REVIEW BY A NISSAN DEALER, THERE IS A CRACK IN THE RADIATOR ASSEMBLY THAT WILL CAUSE FLUID TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION, RENDERING THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE. NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WAS BROUGHT AGAINST NISSAN. A SETTLEMENT WAS MADE GIVING ONLY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, NOT A RECALL. DATA SHOWS THAT IT BREAKS ON MOST CARS AFTER THE SO-CALLED EXTENDED WARRANTY TIME. LEAVING MOST WITH NO HELP FROM NISSAN TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE NOT A MONEY ISSUE. *JS

  I WAS ENTERING THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED SHAKING EXTREMELY AND MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING, ALSO THE SUSPENSION SHAKES CONSISTENTLY CAUSING ME TO SWERVE. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL GAUGE, NOT READING PROPERLY. *JS

• 12/31/2010· STEERING

  STEERING SHAFT PROBLEM ON A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER SE - THE STEERING SHAFT WENT LOOSEN AND COULD BE MOVED HORIZONTALLY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE STEERING SHAFT BOTH UPPER AND LOWER WITH THE COUPLING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF SAFETY CONCERN. MY PERSONAL OPINION IS THAT NISSAN SHOULD INCLUDE THIS TYPE OF REPAIR IN THE RECALL FOR 2002 TO 2004 FRONTIER/XTERRA/PATHFINDER RECALL FOR THE STEERING SHAFT BECAUSE OF THE SIMILAR PROBLEM. I HAVE MADE THIS REQUEST TO NISSAN BUT WAS TURNED DOWN. *TR

• 12/30/2016· POWER TRAIN

  TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON I95 IN CONNECTICUT ,10PM AT NIGHT, AT 55MPH , WITH FAMILY IN CAR. COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING A TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND DID NOT CONTACT VEHICLE OWNERS TO WARN OF THE PROBLEM OR OFFER SUGGESTED REPAIR. REPLACING THE RADIATOR WOULD HAVE BEEN A $300.00 FIX. INSTEAD NISSAN OFFERED NO WARNING AND THE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON AN INTERSTATE AT NIGHT HAPPENED. TOTAL COST TO REPAIR WAS $4381, PLUS A WEEK CAR RENTAL.

• 12/29/2016· POWER TRAIN

  THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FLUIDS ARE INTERMINGLING AND HAS CAUSED MY TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. IT HAS RUINED THE TRANSMISSION. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THOUSANDS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL.

• 12/29/2016· POWER TRAIN

  THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FLUID MIXING AND CAUSING TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. I SEE THAT YOU HAVE HAD MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND YOU CHOOSE NOT TO HELP THE CONSUMERS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A CONTINUING PROBLEM AND AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ISN'T FAIR TO THE CONSUMER BECAUSE THIS IS A FAULTY ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL TRANSMISSION/RADIATOR.

  I PAID OFF MY PATHFINDER LAST YEAR. JUST ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO AFTER LEAVING A FRIENDS HOUSE THE TRUCK STARTED TURNING ON ALL THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. I DROVE IT VERY SLOWLY HOME NOT EVEN A MILE AWAY, I TURNED IT OFF AND NEXT DAY..MY SURPRISE IT DIDN'T TURN ON TO TAKE TO THE MECHANIC. I CALLED THE TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT IN TO NISSAN DEALER AND THEY FOUND THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION OIL AND MESSED UP THE MODULE TOO. THEY WHERE ORIGINALLY CHARGING ME 7200 DOLLARS TO FIX. I BROUGHT IT BACK HOME AND AFTER WHEN I WAS ABLE TO PAY WITH CREDIT I TOOK IT IN TO FIX. THEY URGED ME TO FIX ALL AT ONCE BECAUSE OF A MANUFACTURER DEFECT ON ANY OF THE ABOVE..MOST LIKELY THEY SAID IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

• 12/29/2013· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,POWER TRAIN

  AS MY WIFE AND I WITH OUR 5 CHILDREN WERE ON OUR WAY TO CHURCH, DRIVING AT 45MPH THE CAR STARTED JERKING DROPPING AT 20MPH WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND US ON A TWO WAY HIGHWAY WE HAD TO PULL OVER ON A DIRT EMBANKMENT. WE TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE REP ESTIMATED THE COST OF $9,000. PROBLEM IN RADIATOR CRACK LINE INSIDE TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER. ANTIFREEZE LEAK INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSING DAMAGE. *TR

• 12/28/2013· POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

  ON AUGUST 19TH WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I NOTICED WHAT APPEARED TO SMOKE COMING FROM MY ENGINE AND NOTICED MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE READING THAT IT WAS OVERHEATING. I PULLED OVER ON THE SHOULDER AND OBSERVED, WHAT I NOW KNOW WAS, COOLANT VAPORIZING FROM MY ENGINE. AT THIS TIME ALL THE MECHANICS I CALLED WHERE WRAPPING UP FOR THE DAY, SO I HAD IT TOWED AND TAKEN TO A LOCAL NISSAN SERVICE THE NEXT MORNING. AFTER PAYING $49.95 FOR THE INSPECTION THE SERVICE CENTER INFORMED ME THAT THE RADIATOR FAILED MIXED COOLANT IN THE TRANSMISSION FLUID KILLING MY TRANSMISSION AS WELL. THEY GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF $5,901, $6,373.08 AFTER TAXES, TO FIX THE DAMAGES. I REMEMBERED BEING SENT A NOTICE OF A RADIATOR RECALL, THAT I WAS TOLD DIDN'T CONCERN MY VEHICLE WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN, SO I ASKED ABOUT IT. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR THIS ISSUE AND THEY EXTENDED THE YEARS/MILEAGE ON THE WARRANTY AND I SHOULD CALL THEIR 800 NUMBER. I CALLED THE NUMBER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL DIDN'T EFFECT MY VIN# AND THAT MY MILEAGE WAS OUTSIDE OF THE EXTENSION. I WASN'T PREPARED FOR $6K IN ADDITIONAL EXPENSES SO I STARTED LOOKING AROUND FOR A MORE AFFORDABLE PRICE. I ENDED UP FINDING A SHOP THAT WAS ABLE TO DO THE WORK FOR $2,784, AND DURING THE PRICE SHOPPING AND REPAIRS I SPENT $495.72 ON A RENTAL TO GET AROUND. DURING THIS ORDEAL I BOTH ASKED THE MECHANIC WHO ASSESSED MY VEHICLE AND GOOGLE THE ISSUE ON THE INTERNET. BOTH SHOWED THAT I WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE THAT MY VIN WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE EFFECTED BY, AND THAT IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE FOR MY MODEL. BOTH SOURCES ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THE SITUATION WAS A TICKING TIME BOMB THAT NOTHING SHORT OF COOLANT SYSTEM WORK AROUND OR REPLACING NISSAN'S DEFECTIVE RADIATOR WOULD STOP IT FROM OCCURRING. *TR

• 12/27/2013· POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

  I BROUGHT MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER TO A LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO CHECK OUT A COMPLETELY UNRELATED ISSUE WHEN I WAS MADE AWARE THAT MY CAR HAD THE PROBLEM OF A CRACKED RADIATOR THAT CONTAMINATES THE TRANSMISSION FLUID THAT COULD LEAD TO MAJOR PROBLEMS IF NOT CORRECTED. SINCE I HAVE LESS THAN 90,000 MILES, I'D HAVE TO PAY A CO-PAY OF $2500 OUT OF POCKET. EVIDENTLY THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, ALTHOUGH THERE SHOULD CERTAINLY BE ONE SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER CARS AND SHOULDN'T BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONSUMER TO PAY FOR AN ISSUE THAT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. I PERSONALLY AM NOT IN A POSITION TO SIMPLY DUMP $2500 INTO A VEHICLE AND THIS MAKES THIS PROBLEM EVEN MORE DIFFICULT AND HARD TO ACCEPT. SOMETHING ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. *TR

CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND WAS TOLD I HAD TO GO GET DIAGNOSIS AT DEALER WITCH I DID AT A COST 100.00. CALLED NISSAN BACK AND SAID I WAS OUT OF LUCK AND NOTHING THEY WOULD DO.... HOW CAN THEY GET AWAY WITH SELLING SUCH A DEFECTIVE PART FOR SO LONG IS BEYOND ME AND THE FACT THAT THERE IS NUMEROUS CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS ON THIS ISSUE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT..... THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS A TRANSMISSION FAILURE WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STOP IN TRAFFIC.... SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *TR

  IN JUNE 2012 WE TOOK OUR CAR TO BE SEEN FOR STALLING AND SHAKING. NISSAN STATED "WE CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM" INSTEAD THEY REPLACED THE RADIATOR. NISSAN STATED THAT THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING, BUT NEVER TOLD US THERE WAS A RECALL. NOW DEC WE ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE SHAKING OF THE CAR. TOOK IT BACK TO NISSAN AND ONCE AGAIN THE SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. I MENTIONED THAT I HAD READ ABOUT TRANSMISSION POSSIBLY BEING AFFECTED BY RADIATOR LEAKS ON OTHER PATHFINDERS. NISSAN SAID I CAN'T ALWAYS BELIEVE WHAT I READ ON THE INTERNET. NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO LOOK AT THE TRANSMISSION FOR US. I BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE JUST WAITING FOR MY CAR'S WARRANTY TO BE UP. I FEEL HELPLESS AND SCARED THAT ONE DAY I WILL BE IN AN ACCIDENT AND NISSAN NEVER HELPED MY FAMILY OUT. *TR

• 12/20/2014· POWER TRAIN

  TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO RADIATOR COOLANT MIXING WITH TRANSMISSION OIL. I REFUSE TO SPEND 4-5K ON REPAIR. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS MANUFACTURING DESIGN DEFECT AND NISSAN COMPANY KNOW ABOUT IT. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL INSTEAD OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THESE WERE NOT ISOLATED ISSUE. NISSAN SHOULD PAY FOR ALL THE REPAIRS. THIS IS A SCAM BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THE RADIATOR HAS A DEFECT. NISSAN SHOULD BE FORCE TO ISSUE A RECALL OR HAVE THEM PAY FOR THE FULL REPAIR OF ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. *DT

• 12/20/2012· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,POWER TRAIN

  RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION COOLER FAILED LEAKING RADIATOR FLUID INTO TRANSMISSION RUINING TRANSMISSION. RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION NEED TO BE REPLACED ACCORDING TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP. PROACTIVE REPLACEMENT (RECALL) OF KNOWN DEFECT IN RADIATOR WOULD HAVE BEEN INEXPENSIVE AND PREVENTED VERY COSTLY TRANSMISSION DAMAGE. *TR

• 12/19/2015· POWER TRAIN

  OUR 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER WAS HAVING ISSUES WHERE IT WOULD SHUTTER HEAVILY WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE POWER WOULD DROP OFF AND THE CAR WOULD REV HIGH. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER, THEY FOUND THE CAT CONVERTER BAD AND THE PLUGS FOULED. THEY FIXED THAT AND THE CAR RAN "BETTER" BUT WAS NOT QUITE RUNNING PERFECT AGAIN. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER WE WERE SUSPECT OF A SIMILAR ISSUE AS LAST TIME WHERE THE CAR WOULD LAG BEFORE SHIFTING ESPECIALLY WHEN WE WOULD STEP ON IT. SO, WE TOOK IT BACK TO NISSAN AND THIS TIME THEY FOUND THE ISSUE THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING WHERE THE RADIATOR CRACKS AND LEAKS COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER BEING QUOTED $5900 FOR THE FIX, I ASKED ABOUT THIS ISSUE I'VE SEEN ONLINE AND NOT UNTIL THEN DID THEY LOOK INTO IT AND SEE THAT NISSAN PUT OUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS MATTER. I STILL HAVE TO PAY A $3000 DEDUCTIBLE WHICH IS BS BUT IT IS BETTER THAN $5900

• 12/19/2014· WHEELS,SERVICE BRAKES,ENGINE

  WHEN I PURCHASED MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER FROM A DEALER IN 2012. VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AND DEEMED SAFE TO DRIVE. I NOTICED MY TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR STAYED ON ALL THE TIME. EVEN AFTER FILLING TO THE RECOMMENDED PSI. DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT. WENT ON TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH NO ISSUES UNTIL THE NEXT YEAR WHEN I WOULD GET THIS SHAKING AND RUMBLE AT ABOUT 2500 RPM. TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG EXCEPT FOR NEEDING NEW BRAKE PADS AND ENGINE TUNE UP. HAD THAT DONE BUT STILL MY CAR CONTINUED TO RUMBLE WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE. IT WAS INTERMITTENT ON AND OFF UNTIL IT GOT SO BAD THAT I HAD TO PULL OVER AND LET MY ENGINE COOL BEFORE IT WOULD DO IT AGAIN. RECENTLY I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC AND HAD THEM LOOK AT IT. SHE RAN A TEST ON THE COMPUTER AND THE CAR GAVE CODES THAT LINKED BACK TO THE TRANSFER CASE. SHE THEN HAD IT LOOKED AT BY HER TRANSMISSION EXPERT AND HE DISCOVERED COOLANT AND FLUID INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. ONLY THEN WAS IT LINKED TO ALL OTHER OCCURRENCES THAT FALL BACK ON NISSAN. I READ ONLINE THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR FAILING RADIATORS AND TRANSMISSIONS. IT WAS NEVER BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION WHEN PURCHASING THE VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS DURING THE HEIGHT OF THE DISPUTE. WITH IT BEING OUT OF DATE FOR ANY COVERAGES UNDER THE LAWSUIT. I'M NOW LEFT WITHOUT A VEHICLE AND A HEFTY $3,600 REPAIR BILL THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN THERE TO BEGIN WITH. I HOPE NISSAN HAS A PLAN TO FIX THIS ISSUE WITHOUT THE CONSUMER PAYING OUT OF POCKET. IF NOT I WILL BE PURSUING A CASE AGAINST THE DEALER FOR SELLING ME A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

• 12/19/2012· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  ON 12/7/12, WHILE WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON BUT WITHIN HALF A MILE WHILE WAITING AT A STOP SIGN, THE ENGINE TURNED OFF AGAIN. ON 12/9/12 AT 10:45 P.M. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING 65MPH, THE ACCELERATOR DROPPED LESS THAN 40MPH, RPM NEEDLE BEGAN TO GO FROM 1 TO 3 RAPIDLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN TO FLICKER. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE FOR THE FIRST 10 SECONDS AND WHEN I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE, IT WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 30MPH. AFTER HALF A MILE, I WAS ABLE TO PICK UP SPEED, AFTER A MILE OF "NORMALITY" THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. AFTER ANOTHER MILE, I WAS ABLE PICK UP SPEED BUT IT FELT AS IF THERE WERE PRESSURE IN THE ACCELERATOR. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO MAKE IT HOME THAT NIGHT. TOOK MY PATHFINDER INTO CERRITOS NISSAN ON 12/11/12 AND IT TURNED OUT IT WAS THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE ISSUE. IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED WITHIN 24HRS. ON 12/17/12, WHILE DRIVING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, THE CAR JERKED, ACCELERATOR STALLED, RPM NEEDLE WOULD GO FROM GEAR 1-2 RAPIDLY, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLICKERED. IT LASTED FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS... I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND WITHIN 3 MILES (ONCE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY ON A STOP AND GO TRAFFIC) THE EXACT SAME INCIDENT OCCUR. ON 12/18/12, I RETURNED THE VEHICLE BACK TO NISSAN CERRITOS SERVICE DEALER FOR ANOTHER LOOK, THEY ARE CLAIMING EVERYTHING IS FINE WITH THE VEHICLE. I AM NOW CONCERNED BECAUSE THIS IS NOW A SAFETY ISSUE. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE, I'VE BEEN LUCKY THAT I HAVE NOT SUFFERED AN ACCIDENT BUT IF THIS ISSUE CONTINUES, MY LUCK COULD RUN OUT AND I MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY NEXT TIME. THE LIFE OF MY SON AND MY LIFE ARE AT STAKE HERE. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE IT SOUNDS, AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, THAT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST NOR 100TH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. *TR

THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT COOLANT FROM THE RADIATOR LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION WHICH CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO BE SEVERELY CORRODED.

  WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 45MPH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSS FORWARD MOVING POWER BUT THE ENGINE WOULD REV TO A HIGH RPM, CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH THE OTHER TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD WHILE WE ATTEMPTED TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. UPON TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE RADIATOR HAD EXPERIENCED AN INTERNAL FAILURE CAUSING ANTIFREEZE TO ENTER AND CONTAMINATE THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING THAT TO BECOME DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR. ALTHOUGH THE POWER TRAIN (WHICH I IMAGINE INCLUDES THE TRANSMISSION) WAS STILL UNDER MANUFACTURES WARRANTY UP TO 60,000 MILES, I WAS TOLD IT WOULD NOT QUALIFY FOR A WARRANTY REPAIR SINCE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE RADIATOR WAS THE CAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND THE RADIATOR WAS ONLY COVERED UNDER A 3 YEAR OR 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE REPAIR COSTS FOR BOTH WERE QUOTED TO ME FROM THE DEALER TO BE ~$6,000.00 FOR A NEW RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. IT IS ALSO MY UNDERSTANDING NISSAN HAS RECENTLY STARTED TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON CERTAIN PATHFINDERS FAULTY RADIATORS (BASED OFF OF VIN NUMBER) AND WOULD ALSO REIMBURSE ANYONE WHO ALREADY HAD TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR OUT OF POCKET. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A LETTER FROM NISSAN TO-DATE STATING MY VEHICLE HAS QUALIFIED FOR THIS PLAN. EVEN THOUGH IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME (AND THE NISSAN DEALER) THAT MY RADIATOR WAS FAULTY THEREFORE CAUSING THE DAMAGE BEYOND REPAIR TO MY TRANSMISSION AS WELL. I FEEL I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR SINCE IT WAS CAUSED OUT OF NO FAULT OF MY OWN. DUE TO THE EXTREMELY HIGH DEALER QUOTE, I OPTED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AT AN INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED REPAIR SHOP FOR ~$4,000.00 FOR WHICH THEY INSTALLED A NEWLY WARRANTED TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR PACKAGE. I WAS TOLD THEY ONLY SELL THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSIONS WITH THE RADIATORS INCLUDED, CONFIRMING TO ME THAT THIS TYPE OF FAILURE IS KNOWN TO THE INDUSTRY AS A COMBINED FAILURE.

THE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT SINCE WE WERE ON A HIGHWAY. THE FAILURE IS CATASTROPHIC.

WHEN IT DID FINALLY REGISTER, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE FOLLOWING WEEK I HAD 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS AND WENT TO FILL UP. AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK, I TURNED ON THE CAR, AT WHICH POINT THE NEEDLE DID NOT REGISTER THE FULL TANK. AFTER DRIVING A COUPLE MILES, THE NEEDLE DROPPED TO EMPTY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC DONE AND IT READ THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL SENSOR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WAS AMAZED THERE IS NO ACTION FROM NISSAN CONSIDERING THE MULTITUDE OF ENTRIES I DISCOVERED ON THE INTERNET WITH THE EXACT PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH MODELS RANGING FROM 2005-2007. THIS REPAIR IS ESTIMATED TO COST UPWARDS OF $700 FROM THE DEALER. THIS SAFETY ISSUE MAKES ME VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE ANY DISTANCE AND IS DUE TO A FAULTY PART THAT NISSAN SHOULD REMEDY AT NO COST TO THE VEHICLE OWNER. THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT ALSO INFORMED ME THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND I WILL HAVE TO LET AN AUTHORIZED NISSAN CENTER DIAGNOSE AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND ONLY GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER TO REFER TO IF I WAS NOT SATISFIED. *TR

NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THE RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION COOLER. THE WORST THING IS NISSAN IS CHARGING A CO-PAY OF $2,500. THEY SHOULD COVER ALL THE CHARGES INCLUDING THE CO-PAY SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN FACTORY DEFECT. *TR

  TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE FURTHER AND NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE AS MUCH POWER AS IT USUALLY DID. THE CONTACT HEARD A WHINING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED OPERATING. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: AUXILLARY TANK). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. A FEW MONTHS LATER, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESTART SO IT WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL 10V517000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING).

  BOTH OF MY VEHICLE FOBS DON'T WORK WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD FOR INSTANCE EARLY MORNING AND WINTER MONTHS. ONCE I USE MY KEY MANUALLY THEY WILL WORK. ALSO IN BELOW FREEZING WEATHER MY DOOR LOCK WILL FREEZE ON MY DRIVER'S SIDE AND I WILL EITHER BE UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE DOOR OR WILL GET THE DOOR OPEN AND WON'T BE ABLE TO GET THE DOOR TO LATCH SHUT. I CAN SPRAY SOME LOCK DE-ICER AND LUBE IN THE LOCK AND DOOR LATCH IF I CAN GET THE DOOR OPEN BUT IT ONLY SEEMS TO BE A TEMPORARY FIX. *TR

  I RECEIVED A WARRANTY NOTIFICATION FOR MY '06 NISSAN PATHFINDER STATING THAT MODEL YEAR 2005-2008 PATHFINDER VEHICLES, AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT MAY CAUSE THE FUEL GAUGE TO INACCURATELY DISPLAY THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK. I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM FOR A WHILE JUST HADN'T HAD THE FUNDS TO FIX IT. NISSAN IS EXTENDING YOUR VEHICLE'S NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY AS IT APPLIES TO THE FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT FROM 36 MONTHS / 36,000 MILES TO 72 MONTHS 72,000 MILES. AFTER PLACING THE CALL ON FRIDAY DEC.3, 2010 TO ROMEO #41550 INFORMED ME TO GO GET A VEHICLE DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED ON MY CAR. WENT TO NISSAN SOUTH PAID $107.48 THEY DETERMINED THAT IT WAS INDEED THE FUEL GAUGE SENDER UNIT TECH FOUND CODE P0463. THE ADVISOR MUHAMMAD STATED THAT MY REFERENCE NUMBER WAS FORWARDED TO A REGIONAL SPECIALIST CHRISTY FERREDA EXT. 1658 FOR FURTHER REVIEW. I LEFT SEVERAL MESSAGES TO FIND OUT THE STATUS AND ON 12/8/10 4:10 PM MELISSA EXT. 1658 FROM NISSAN CALLED ME BACK AND STATED THAT IT WAS STILL BEING REVIEWED AND SHE WOULD GET BACK IN TOUCH WITH ME FRIDAY OR MONDAY AND THAT SHE HAD OTHER CUSTOMER'S AND THAT'S WHY SHE CAN'T ANSWER HER PHONE. SHE ALSO STATED THAT IT WASN'T REALLY A RECALL IT WAS JUST AN EXTENSION OF THE WARRANTY. WHILE I WAS HAVING THE CAR CHECKED THEY ALSO REPLACED A ECM RELAY ON RECALL THAT I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT. VERY UNHAPPY WITH MY NISSAN PATHFINDER AND ALL OF THE MANY RECALLS AND THE SERVICETHAT I AM RECEIVING IS TERRIBLE. AS I STATED TO MELLISA I AM EXPECTING FOR THEM TO REPLACE THAT PART AND REIMBURSE ME FOR THE $107.48 BECAUSE THEY KNOW ABOUT THERE DEFECTIVE PART AND IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO . *TR

  I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER THAT JUST OUT OF THE BLUE, THE SERVICE ENGINE JUST CAME ON. I HAVE READ IN THE INTERNET, AND THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SUBJECT. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT GASOLINE, A VERY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE LIQUID, COMBINE THAT WITH A DEFECTIVE ELECTRICAL FUEL SENSOR AND WE ARE TALKING FIRE OR WORST. NISSAN IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS, EXCEPT TELLING PEOPLE TO REPLACE THE SENSOR. MY NISSAN JUST WENT OVER 39, 000 MILES, HOW CONVENIENT, OUT OF WARRANTY. I JUST HOPE NOBODY IS WAITING FOR SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS BEFORE THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED. THANKS *TR
