2001 Nissan Pathfinder complaints

I HAVE A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER. IT RECENTLY DEVELOPED STEERING ISSUES AFTER HITTING A SMALL POTHOLE. MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THE ENTIRE LEFT WHEEL WELL WAS ROTTED OUT AND THAT I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AS THE WHEEL MIGHT COLLAPSE. AFTER THEN TAKING THE CAR TO A BODY SHOP FOR A REPAIR ESTIMATE, I WAS TOLD THIS WAS THE 3RD TIME HE HAD SEEN THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, WITH A 1999-2001 PATHFINDER. RESEARCHING ON LINE I FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE. REPAIR ESTIMATE WAS 2000.00. MECHANIC AT BODY SHOP ALSO STATED NOT TO DRIVE CAR ON HIGHWAY AS RESULTS COULD BE FATAL. REPAIR WILL INVOLVE REMOVING ENGINE COMPONENTS,BUMPER AND REPLACING WHEEL WELL HOUSING, THEN WELDING A REINFORCEMENT BRACE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, GASOLINE WOULD SPEW BACK OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT WOULD FREQUENTLY SMELL AN OVERPOWERING GASOLINE ODOR FROM THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO LOCATE A RECALL FOR THE FAILURE AND WHEN CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER, HE WAS INFORMED HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V435000: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY: FILLER PIPE AND CAP). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 123,000.

I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR MY 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER FOR A FAULTY FUEL FILLER TUBE. I HAD TO REPLACE MY TUBE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO DUE TO LEAKING GAS. HOW DO I GO ABOUT GETTING REIMBURSED FOR THIS WORK? *TR

BOSSE 6 CD CHANGER SHOWS ERROR2 ON DISPLAY AND DOSE NOT PLAY ANY MUSIC. *TR

I NOTICED A LITTLE PULL IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN TAKING A TURN, SO I STOPPED IN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AN WAS ADVISED THAT THE SHOCK TOWER HAS FAILED. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NISSAN HAS KNOW ABOUT AN HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. I DID CONTACT NISSAN AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD PAY $1100. TOWARDS THE REPAIR, WHICH WAS $2100.00, I TAILED THEM THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. LUCKY FOR ME AN OTHER PEOPLE I WASN'T DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AN HAD THIS FAIL COMPLETELY. THE WHEEL WOULD HAVE FALLEN OFF AN HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM AND HAVE DECIDED NOT TO TAKE ACTION. I HAVE ARGUED WITH NISSAN, THEY DO KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM, OTHERWISE WHY WOULD THEY BE WILLING TO PAY WITHOUT LOTS OF QUESTIONS. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2001 AND HAVE DONE ALL THE OIL CHANGES, BRAKES, TIRES, IT IS IN GREAT SHAPE, AN THIS FAILED BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM IN WORKMANSHIP. YOU CAN FIND MANY PEOPLE THAT OWN THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE REALLY GETS HURT OR KILLED WITH A SHOCK TOWER FAILURE. *TR

2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER HAS EXPERIENCED TWO EVENTS WHERE THE BRAKES HAVE MALFUNCTIONED. THE FIRST EVENT INVOLVED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ACTIVATING WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 45 MPH WITHOUT THE DRIVER PULLING UP ON THE EMERGENCY HANDLE. IMMEDIATELY UPON THE BRAKE LOCKING UP, THE DRIVER PULLED UP AND DOWN ON THE HANDLE AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE THANKFULLY RELEASED ITSELF. THE SECOND EVENT OCCURRED TWO WEEKS LATER WHEN ALL FOUR BRAKES FAILED TO ACTIVATE WHEN THE DRIVER PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL - IT WENT TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT ENGAGING ANY OF THE BRAKES. AFTER PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL OVER AND OVER, THE CAR FINALLY STOPPED JUST SHORT OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM AT THE INTERSECTION. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY ALLEGEDLY ANALYZED ALL OF THE BRAKING SYSTEMS AND COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. THIS VEHICLE HAS AN ABS SYSTEM THAT MIGHT BE MALFUNCTIONING, BUT WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM(S) COULD BE. SINCE THE VEHICLE IS ESSENTIAL TO OUR DAILY USE, WE ARE DRIVING IT WITH SOME CONCERN AND CONSTANT WORRY. *TR

THE FILLER PIPE ON MY NISSAN PATHFINDER IS RUSTED AND CAUSING A GAS SMELL. HAVE CALLED NISSAN ON RECALL CAMPAIGN 07V435000 AND THEY CLAIM THE CAR IS NOT COVERED, EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM IS IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. *TR

2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER LE - SMELL GAS AND NOTICED GAS LEAKING. FOUND OUT THAT NISSAN HAS A RECALL FOR THIS, BUT OUR VEHICLE VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. OUR VEHICLE HAS THE VERY PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL....WHY IS OUR VIN NOT INCLUDED? *TR

FUEL FILLER TUBE RECALL NOTICE FOR 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER. *NJ IN FEB 2007 THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE GAS TANK WAS LEAKING AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE COST OF THE REPAIRS WERE $2,058.34. FOUR MONTHS LATER, THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THE FUEL FILLER TUBE HAD RUSTED AND WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2009 AND IS NOW SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT.*JB

NO CRASH YET BUT I DO HAVE A FISH TAILING, SIDE TO SIDE WOBBLING THAT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN DEFECT FROM NISSAN. I OWN A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER WITH 99,000 MILES AND AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MILES AN HOUR, THE TRUCK WILL START WOBBLING SIDE TO SIDE DUE TO A RUT IN THE ROAD OR A GUST OF WIND. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SEVERAL NISSAN MECHANICS, THE REAR UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS ARE BAD AND DETERIORATE PREMATURELY, CAUSING THE DANGEROUS WOBBLE IN THE TRUCK. THE COST TO REPLACE THE BUSHINGS IS $700.00 PLUS AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED. VERY POOR DESIGN WHICH WILL END UP CAUSING SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES. THANK YOU. *TR

MY BOSE CD CHANGER IN MY 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER HASN'T BEEN WORKING IN A COUPLE OF YEARS. IT COMES UP WITH AN ERR2 MESSAGE. I KNOW IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL AND NISSAN HAS NOT RESPONDED TO ANY COMPLAINTS I'VE HAD ABOUT THIS. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE 6 DISC BOSE CD PLAYER WORKED PERFECT FOR A FEW YEARS. IN 2006 IT READ ERR2. I ATTEMPTED TO RETRIEVE THE CD'S BUT THEY WOULD NOT COME OUT. AS A RESULT THE PLAYER CONTINUOUSLY CLICKED AND THEN EVENTUALLY STOPPED. NOW IT DOES NOT DO ANYTHING. I HAVE FOUND THIS PROBLEM TO BE VERY COMMON IN 2001 PATHFINDER AND INFINTIY QX4. THERE IS NOT A CD PLAYER MADE THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH BOSE THAT WILL SOUND GOOD. TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE IS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE OF THE HIGH PRICE THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MANY PEOPLE IN FORUMS THAT HAVE ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE BROKEN UNIT ONLY TO HAVE IT LAST A FEW MONTHS. I REFUSE TO THROW AWAY MONEY AND WANT TO HAVE MY UNIT REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP AT NO CHARGE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A TREND HERE WITH THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS AND I WOULD LIKE THIS MATTER TO BE HANDLED CORRECTLY. *TR

MY COMPLAINT IS QUITE THE SAME AS I CAN SEE ALL READY LISTED ON THIS SITE. I HAVE A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER WHICH I PURCHASED IN 2004. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY SWAY BAR WHICH NO ONE ESPECIALLY THE DEALER KNOWS HOW IT GOT BENT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MY 6CD BOSE CHANGER ALSO SHUT DOWN ON ME IN 2007 JUST STOP WORKING AND NOT EJECTING CDS AND DOING A CLICK CLICK NOISE ALL THE TIME I HAVE TWO CDS IN THERE I CAN NOT REMOVE OR GET OUT. ACCORDING TO NISSAN THEY DON'T HANDLE THESE ISSUES AND DO NOT FIX THEM THEY REPLACE THE WHOLE CD CHANGER FOR $700-$800. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM AND ISSUE WITH THEM AND THEIR SISTER COMPANIES WITH THE BOSE SYSTEM THE VEHICLES ARE PROVIDED WITH WHEN YOU PURCHASE THEM. YOU DO NOT ORDER THE SYSTEM IT COMES WITH THE VEHICLE BUT THEY WONT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY NOR FIX IT. I ALSO HAD THE ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEM AND TOOK TO A MECHANIC WHOM STATED WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER CODE ON THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND HAD TO TAKE TO NISSAN BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT TOUCH THE VEHICLE AND WAS STILL UNDER MANUFACTURER WARRANTY BEING UNDER 80,000. QUOTE PER NISSAN ALL IT WAS IS AN ELECTRICAL COMPUTER UPGRADE CODE. NEEDED TO UPGRADE MY ELECTRICAL COMPUTER SOFTWARE?????? THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THEN WENT OFF WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND THEN CAME BACK ON AND STAYED ON AND NEVER SHUT OFF UNTIL NISSAN REPROGRAMMED THE SYSTEM. I ALSO HAD MY MUFFLER FALL COMPLETELY OFF FROM THE BACK END UP UNTIL THE MIDDLE PART. WAS TOTALLY RUSTED AND CAME RIGHT OFF AND OF COURSE IT FELL OFF RIG

CD PLAYER NO LONGER WORKS; DISPLAYS ERR 2. RADIO VOLUME CONTROL KNOB NO LONGER WORKS. *TR

CLARION 6 DISC CD CHANGER ARE DEFECTIVE, ERROR 2. *TR

I OWN A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER SE THAT IS CONFIGURED WITH A BOSE/CLARION 6 CD CHANGER UNIT. THE UNIT FAILED IN 2007 GIVING AN ERR 2 MESSAGE. I HAD THE UNIT REMOVED BY EMPIRE NISSAN LAKEWOOD, CO WHO SENT IT TO BE REPAIRED TWICE TO A SERVICE CONTRACTOR. BOTH TIMES THE UNIT WAS RETURNED REINSTALLED AND FAILED AGAIN. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED MANY OTHER CONSUMERS REPORTING THE EXACT SAME ERR 2 PROBLEMS WITH THEIR AUDIO SYSTEMS. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER FROM A FAMILY MEMBER. THE BOSE 6 CD CHANGER COMES UP WITH AN ERROR MESSAGE ERR2. I'M BEING TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE: THAT NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT BUT WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE. I'M TRYING TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THIS. IS THERE ANY RECOURSE WITH NISSAN? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT OPENED THE LIFTGATE AND IT RAPIDLY CLOSED BY ITSELF ONTO HIS HEAD. HE SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. ALTHOUGH THE FAILURES WERE IDENTICAL, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. UPDATED 10-30-08 *BF UPDATED 11/03/08.*JB

THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON' HAS BEEN ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR ON MY 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER (MILEAGE IS A LITTLE OVER 70,000). I TAKE THE CAR TO A GARAGE (DELMAR AUTO & RADIATOR INC., 90 ADAMS STREET, DELMAR, NY 12054, 518-439-0311) ON 8/1/08 TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED ($144.40) AND THE CODE SAYS THE OXYGEN SENSOR (P0140) NEEDS REPLACEMENT ($219.37). THE WORK IS DONE AND AFTER ABOUT 80 MILES THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON COMES BACK ON. I TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE GARAGE (8/7/08) HAVE IT DIAGNOSED ($144.40) AND THE CODE SAYS MASS AIR FLOW SIGNAL IS WEAK ($563.00). THE WORK IS DONE AND AFTER ABOUT 20 MILES THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON COMES BACK ON. I CALL THE GARAGE (8/18/08) AFTER THEY RETURN FROM VACATION AND THEY WILL TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER AND HAVE THE ECM REPROGRAMMED AT COST. *TR

ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT - CATALYTIC CONVERTER. MY MECHANIC FIXED THE ENGINE SEVICE LIGHT BEING ALWAYS ON BY BYPASSING SOMETHING ON THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. *TR

I PURCHASED AN 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER IN 2003 AND THE BOSE RADIO W/ 6 CD CLARION PLAYER. "ERR 2" CODED 3-MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED IT. I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, IT WAS REPLACED WITH A REFURBISHED SYSTEM OF THE SAME. IT IS 8/08 AND THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN AGAIN, AND NOT COVERED. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT THIS VEHICLE COULD GO THROUGH 2 RADIOS IN ONLY 63,000 MILES?? RIDICULOUS!!! NISSAN WILL NOT STAND BY THE CHEAP PARTS USED BY CLARION IN THE RADIO (AS RESEARCHED ON THE NET). I ALSO HAVE AN ECM PROBLEM, NISSAN SAYS IT NEEDS TO BE UPGRADED, BUT WILL NOT PAY FOR IT. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON CODING THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THEY TOLD ME NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CONVERTER, JUST AN ERROR WITH THE SOFTWARE IN THE ECM. SO NOW I WON'T KNOW IF THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT IS ON FOR SOME THING SERIOUS OR IT IS JUST THE CONVERTER WRONGLY CODING. *TR

REAR SUSPENSION SWAYS VIOLENTLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHEN DRIVING OVER 50 MILES PER HOUR, ESPECIALLY WHEN CRUISE CONTROL IS USED. SEVERAL MECHANICS COULD NOT DIAGNOSE PROBLEM SO IT HAS CONTINUED TO GET WORSE OVER PAST 2 YEARS. NOW, THROUGH INTERNET, LEARN THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL, REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF BUSHINGS AND IS KNOWN TO THE MANUFACTURER WHO HAS TAKEN NO ACTION. *TR

THE BOSE 6 DISC CHANGER IS ALSO GIVING ME AS WELL AS HUNDREDS OF OTHERS THE DREADED 'ERR 2' ERROR AND WILL NOT EJECT OR PLAY DISCS. *TR

THE ENTIRE EXHAUST SYSTEM (FROM AND INCLUDING Y-PIPE AND BACK) HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. MY MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE MOST RUSTED OUT SYSTEM HE HAD EVER SEEN. I BELIEVE THIS WAS DUE TO INCORRECT MAKING OF THE PRODUCT. THIS MAY BE SIMILAR TO THE OTHER RECALL IN WHICH THE LACK OF PROPERLY COATING THE ITEMS CAUSED PREMATURE RUSTING. *TR

6 DISC CD CHANGER SHOWS ERR2 ON SCREEN AND WILL NOT EJECT ANY DISC. PROBLEM OCCURRED AROUND 70K MILES AND DEALER WOULD NOT FIX IT UNDER EVEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. QUOTED $1500 FOR NEW ONE OR $500 FOR REPAIR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON 5/15.2008 I NOTICED A STRANGE NOISE EMANATING FROM THE OUTSIDE REAR AREA OF THE VEHICLE. THE NEXT DAY WHILE HAVING THE VEHICLES TIRES REPLACED A SHOP EMPLOYEE POINTED OUT TO ME THAT THE SWAY BAR WAS BROKEN IN HALF. THIS IS NOT A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR OCCURRENCE AND WAS NOT DUE TO ANY MISTAKE OR MISUSE OF THE VEHICLE BY ME. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE VEHICLE SINCE AND THE BROKEN PART HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER. IN 2007, THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE TOWARDS THE END OF APRIL. HE CALLED THE DEALER TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL REPAIR AND THEY STATED THAT HE WOULD NEED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION. AFTERWARDS, DEPENDING ON THE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS, THEY WOULD DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE COMPONENTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE RECALL NOTICE STATED THAT THE COMPONENT WOULD BE REPLACED NO MATTER WHAT; THEREFORE, THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE DEALER SHOULD REPLACE THE DEFECTED ITEM REGARDLESS OF THE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS. THERE HAD BEEN NO FAILURE TO DATE. THE RECALL NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 77,000.

FACTORY CD CHANGER FOR 2001 PATHFINDER LE BECOMES JAMMED, WILL NOT PLAY CDS OR EJECT THEM, SHOWS AN ERROR CODE OF ERR2. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND OUT THAT THE UNIT IS MANUFACTURED BY CLARION AND THAT MANY OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IF NISSAN KNOW ABOUT THAT PROBLEM WHY DON'T RECALL IT? *TR

BOSE 6 CD CHANGER DOES NOT WORK AND HAS NEVER WORKED FOR MORE THAN 6 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. *TR

NISSAN PATHFINDER- OXYGEN SENSOR KEEPS ON FALLING. VERY POOR QUALITY. *TR

6 CD CHANGER CD PLAYER NEVER WORKS, I HAVE TRIED TO CALL NISSAN AS I FOUND 100 OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS BUT NO RESPONSE. THE CD SYSTEM IS BY BOSE. ONE OF THE TOP CD MAKERS IN THE WORLD. DEALERS WILL CHARGE 2000 TO FIX IT, IS IT REALLY WORTH FIXING IT FOR 2K I WOULD RATHER INSTALL OF THE MKT ONE, HOWEVER IT SHOWS POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND QUALITY. *TR

GASOLINE HAS BEEN LEAKING FROM THE GAS TUBE ON MY 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER FOR TWO YEARS. I CONTACTED THE DEALER SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND ASKED THEM ABOUT THE RECALL. THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT. I THEN NOTIFIED THEM OF THE RECALL AND DIRECTED TO THE WEBSITE. I'M TIRED OF THE SMELL OF GASOLINE, GAS ON MY DRIVEWAY AND LAWN AND POLLUTING MY LAKE. I WANT TO KNOW WHEN I WILL RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE AND REPAIR. WE HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH FOR NISSAN TO ACT AND IGNORE THE NHTSA RECALL AND IGNORE POTENTIAL HAZARDS TO NISSAN VEHICLE OWNERS. *TR

SMELLING GAS, AND SEE GAS ON GARAGE FLOOR.....FILLER TUBE IS RUSTED....NISSAN SAYS MY 2001 PATHFINDER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL......THAN WHY DO I SMELL GAS. *TR

ON SEPTEMBER 12,2007 NISSAN POSTED A RECALL ON 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDERS. MY VEHICLE WHICH SHOULD BE PART OF THE RECALL WAS DENIED BY NISSAN BECAUSE MY VEHICLES VIN#S WERE NOT PART OF THEIR RECALL. I BEG TO DIFFER. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN JUNE 06 IN LOU,KY. THE RECALL STATES THAT IF THEY ARE CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN CERTAIN STATES AND KY IS ONE OF THOSE THEN I'M ENTITLED TO THE RECALL. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY DENIED MY REQUEST. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE FUEL TUBE OR IF BY CHANCE IT WILL CAUSE A FIRE OR SOME SERIOUS INJURY TO MYSELF OR OTHERS. I KNOW I'M BEING MISTREATED BY NISSAN AND I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE CORRECTED IF POSSIBLE. I WANT NISSAN TO OWN UP TO ITS RECALL AND TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS. AFTER ALL THEY RECALLED THE VEHICLE.*CN

MY 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER 6 DISC CD CHANGER WENT OUT ON ME THE OTHER DAY WITH THE DREADED "ERR2" MESSAGE. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT TAKING CARE OF. SOMETHING MUST ME DONE. *TR

2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER WITH GAS LEAK. CONSUMER STATES FUEL LEAKED FROM THE VEHICLE MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE DEALER DID NOT HAVE ALL THE PARTS TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE TIRE MECHANIC NOTICED RUST IN THE WHEEL WELD ON THE LOWER BRACKET DUE TO FUEL LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE CONTACT'S VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V435000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP). THEY ALSO ADVISED HIM TO CALL THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DIVISION IN TWO WEEKS. THE TIRE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE WHILE REPLACING THE TIRES. THE REPAIR WOULD COST $1,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,900 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

JULY 1, 2007: MICHELIN TIRE FAILURE: P255/65 R16 MICHELIN LTX M/S . AFTER 22K MILES ON THE TIRES, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH, SUDDENLY THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE TREAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE SIDEWALL, RESULTING IN A BLOWOUT. THE 2001 PATHFINDER LE 4X4, DIDN'T FLIP OVER. I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND PULLOVER ON THE SIDE. THE ENTIRE TIRE TREAD SEPARATED INTACT, AROUND THE TAILPIPE BRACKETS AND REAR MUDFLAP. THE TREAD IS UNDAMAGED: NO NAIL OR SCREWS OR ANY OTHER ROAD HAZARD OR DAMAGES. THE AAA SENT A TRUCK WHO CHANGED THE TIRE. HIS COMMENT WAS: "IN OVER 22 YEARS OF DOING TIRE AND MECHANICAL WORK, HE NEVER SAW ANYTHING LIKE THIS". I RETURNED THE TIRE TO COSTCO. THE TIRE CENTER MANAGER WAS VERY COOPERATIVE,WHERE THEY ORDERED A NEW TIRE WITHOUT QUESTION.DAMAGES TO THE PATHFINDER WERE ESTIMATED AT $900 DUE TO THE NEED TO REPLACE THE TAILPIPE/MUFFLER ASSEMBLY AND THE MUDFLAP WAS DESTROYED. COSTCO MANAGER SAID THAT THE CLAIM FOR DAMAGES WOULD NEED TO BE MADE DIRECTLY TO MICHELIN. I DID THAT. IT IS A MIRACLE THAT THE VEHICLE DIDN'T FLIP OVER !!!. MICHELIN REQUIRED THAT THE TIRE BE RETURNED TO COSTCO, HAVE THEM CALL MICHELIN TO GIVE A REPORT OF THE SITUATION. MICHELIN REP SAID THAT THEY WOULD OFFER PERHAPS A 50% DISCOUNT ON THE PURCHASE OF NEW REPLACEMENT TIRE BUT NOTHING ELSE. I WANT MICHELIN TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGES SUSTAINED !!. I WAS REQUIRED TO SEND THE TIRE TO MICHELIN (THEY EVENTUALLY PAID FOR THE SHIPPING) TO BE EXAMINED. THE RESULTS OF THEIR INVESTIGA

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CENTER ARM REST IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE LEANS ON THE CONVERTIBLE CHILD SAFETY SEAT. THIS CAUSES THE ARM REST TO LEAN OUTWARDS. THE FAILURE IS DUE TO HOW THE REAR SEAT WAS DESIGNED. THE CENTER SEAT BELT WAS TWISTED AT THE BASE, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO TIGHTEN AND SECURE THE CHILD SEAT. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO DISASSEMBLE IT AND WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE OWNERS MANUAL STATED THAT IT IS UNSAFE WHEN THE SEAT BELT IS TWISTED. THE ANGLE OF THE REAR SEAT IS STEEP AT THE BOTTOM. THE CONTACT IS USING A HUGE BATH TOWEL FOLDED UNDER THE SEAT, BUT THE SEAT IS NOT SECURE. THE CHILD SEAT MOVES FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THE SAFETY SEAT RESTS ON THE EDGE OF WHERE THE VEHICLE'S SEAT MEETS THE OTHER SECTION OF THE REAR SEAT. THIS INCREASES INSTABILITY AND CAUSES THE CHILD SEAT TO ANGLE DOWNWARDS. THE VEHICLE HAS NO LOWER ANCHOR TETHER. THE CONTACT HAS NOT SPOKEN WITH THE DEALER. THE PURCHASE DATE AND FUEL SYSTEM WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 95,153 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,153.
