2000 Nissan Pathfinder complaints

ORIGINAL TIRES, TOYO, TRAMPATH, 255/65R16. VEHICLE SHAKES AT 60 MPH. NISSAN REBALANCED, AND PLACED 4 WEIGHTS ON TIRES, AND VEHICLE STILL IS NOT BALANCED, PROBLEM STILL OCCURRING.*AK

WHILE DRIVING MY SUV I HEARD A LOUD BANG, INMEDIATELLY AFTER THAT, THE SUV TURNED ABRUPTLY TO THE RIGHT. I TRIED TO MAINTAIN ON MY LANE BUT IT WAS USELESS. THE VEHICLE KEPT TURNING RIGHT. I PRESSED THE BRAKES, AND THEN THE VEHICLE SKIDDED ON THE WET PAVEMENT SLAMMING THE VEHICLE AGAINST THE BRIDGES WALL. THE VEHICLE HIT AGAINST THE WALL WITH THE REAR RIGHT SIDE OF IT. THEN IT SLOWED DOWN. THERE WERE NO FLAT TIRES. THE REAR AXLE SHIFTED TO THE LEFT DUE TO THE CRASH. OTHER PARTS WHERE DAMAGED. I GUESS THE CRASH WAS DUE TO THE FRONT RIGHT LOWER CONTROL ARM BECAUSE IT WAS LOOSE AND BROKEN. I HAD NO PROBLEMS BEFORE WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT DID NOT GAVE ANY SIGNS OF WEAR, NEITHER MADE STRANGE SOUNDS SO ONE COULD TAKE IT FOR A PREVENTIVE CHECK. THIS VEHICLE (NISSAN PATHFINDER 2000) IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD!!!*AK

WHEN APPLYING ABSBRAKES THEY DO NOT ENGAGE. CAUSE UNKNOWN. DEALER HAS YET TO BEE CONTACTED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

MY SIXTEEN YEAR OLD SON ALONG WITH MY SEVEN YEAR OLD SON WERE DRIVING MY CAR WHEN CAR STARTED WOBBLING, HE LOST CONTROL GOING APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES AN HOUR, OVER CORRECTED AND WENT HEAD FIRST INTO TREES AND THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. FORTUNATELY MY SONS WERE WEARING SEATBELTS AND DID NOT SUSTAIN ANY MAJOR INJURIES, JUST BUMPS AND BRUISES. THE CAR THEN HIT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AFTER THE FRONTAL IMPACT THEN HIT ON THE REAR. MY CAR WAS TOTALED. AT NO TIME DID THE AIR BAG ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DEPLOY. IF NOT FOR THE SEAT BELTS, MY CHILDREN COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED AND MY SON DRIVING DID HIT THE STEERING WHEEL, AND THE AIR BAG WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS HAD IT DEPLOYED. I WOULD SAY THIS WAS DEFINITELY A DEFECT WITH THE CAR. *AK

CONSUMER STATED AS HE WAS EXITING A PARKING LOT AND UPON APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE REQUIRING CONSUMER TO PRESS HARD ON THE BRAKE TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM JUMPING OUT INTO TRAFFIC, AS CONSUMER HELD HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE REAR TIRES BEGAN TO SPIN IN A CONTINUOUS ATTEMPT TO MOVE THE VEHICLE FOWARD, CONSUMER THEN PLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL, AND NOTICED THE TACHOMETER WAS INDICATING THE ENGINE SPEED AT OVER 4000 RPMS, AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF PLACING THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, THE ENGINE RETURNED TO A NORMAL IDLE SPEED.*JB

SEAT BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLY IN THE REAR-RIGHT OUTBOARD POSITION LOCKED AND WOULD NOT RELEASE. RETRACTOR CONTINUED TO TIGHTEN ON A CHILD AND BELTS HAD TO BE CUT TO ALLOW CHILD TO EXIT VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP WAS REPLACING SEAT BELT SYSTEM FOR THAT SEATING POSITION UNDER WARRANTY. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / DOCUMENTATION.*AK

I HAVE HAD TWO INCIDENTS OF SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE AT LOW SPEEDS. WITH FOOT ON BRAKE REAR TIRES SPUN AND WHEN PLACED IN NEUTRAL ENGINE REVED TO 4500 RMPS FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. SECOND INCIDENT RESULTED IN VEHICLE GOING THROUGH RED LIGHT AT INTERSECTION WITH A NEAR COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. VEHICLE INSPECTED BY DEALER WHO CLAIMS THEY CANNOT "DUPLICATE PROBLEM." CONSUMER REP. FOR NISSAN SAID THAT THEY WOULD DO NOTHING ELSE UNLESS THE AUTO IS IN AN ACCIDENT.*AK

WHEN BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND RAN UP A CURB AND INTO A BUILDING. *AK DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. *TT

DEALER HAS TREATED SYMPTOM; NOT CAUSE OF FAILURE. NO SAFWETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK

AFTER A ROUTINE TIRE ROTATION, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE FROM SIDE TO SIDE DURING SPEEDS OF 35-40 AND AGAIN AT 50-65. STEERING RACK REPLACED, REAR DIFF REPLACED, TIRES REPLACED, TIRES BALANCED, DRIVE SHAFT REPLACED. NOW VEHICLE HAS A EXCESSIVE VIBRATION A SPEEDS OF 30-35, AND AGAIN AT 50-60. CAUSES NUMBNESS AND TINGLING IN HANDS AND NOTED ON FEET. IT IS NOT JUST THE WHEEL THAT VIBRATES EXCESSIVELY, IT CAN BE FELT ON THE SHIFTER AND DOWN BY THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FOOT WELL.

ANTI- LOCK BRAKES ARE NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY ON WET PAVEMENT. UPON DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, ANTI- LOCK SENSORS ACTIVATE, CAUSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO BECOME VERY HARD, AND RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED DEALER, DEALER UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

I AM LOOKING FOR ANY INFORMATION REGARDING 2000 PATHFINDERS LOSSING CONTROL OF STEERING AT ANY SPEED OR CONDITIONS, OR DIRECTION TO FIND THIS INFORMATION. I AM NOT THE OWNER OF THE SUV, I AM A FAMILY MEMBER OF A PERSON THAT LOST HIS LIFE IN A CRASH WHILE DRIVING A PATHFINDER. I AM LOOKING FOR A REASON FOR THIS CRASH, AUTOPYS SHOWED NO MEDICAL REASON FOR CRASH AND HE WAS IN GOOD HEALTH, DRIVING CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR AND WARM TEMP. ANY HELP WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *AK
