2006 Nissan Pathfinder complaints

DUE TO AN ACKNOWLEDGED DEFECT IN A HOSE LEADING FROM THE RADIATOR TO THE TRANSMISSION, COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE. WE HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND THE DEFECTIVE RADIATOR TO THE TUNE OF >$4000. NISSAN RECOGNIZED THERE WAS AN ISSUE BECAUSE THEY EXTENDED THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY TO JUST UNDER THE MILEAGE WHERE THE MAJORITY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS WERE BEGINNING TO EXPERIENCE ISSUES. WHEN APPROACHED, NISSAN REFUSED TO AUTHORIZE A REIMBURSEMENT OF ANY SORT, NOT EVEN AGREEING TO MEET HALFWAY, WHEN THEY KNEW IT WAS THEIR DEFECTIVE PART THAT WAS TO BLAME FOR THE DAMAGE THAT WAS DONE. NISSAN HOPES THAT BY DISMISSING PEOPLE THEY WILL GIVE UP AND NOT PURSUE FURTHER RECOURSE. I WILL SAY NOW THAT THEY ARE SORELY MISTAKEN. THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THEIR NEGLIGENCE. IT WAS A COSTLY AND DANGEROUS OVERSIGHT THAT NEEDS TO END IN SOME SORT OF RESOLUTION. *TR

VEHICLE WAS RUNNING NORMAL TILL WE PARK TO HAVE LUNCH.START VEHICLE FINE PLACE SHIFTER IN GEAR (DRIVE) WAS NOT TAKING ANY GEAR.WE HAVE VEHICLE TAKING TO NISSAN DEALER.THEY DETERMINE CAUSE DUE TO A FAULTY RADIATOR LEAKING COOLANT TO TRANSMISSION NISSAN WAS NOT GOING TO DO ANY WARRANTY REPAIRS ON THE VEHICLE BECAUSE VEHICLE WAS OUT WARRANTY. *TR

2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER 103K MILES. WE NOTICED VEHICLE WOULD SHUDDER UPON ACCELERATION AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND AGAIN AT 50 MPH. ALSO AT TIMES THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP LIKE IT COULDN'T SHIFT TO THE NEXT GEAR. IF WE SLOWED DOWN TO 50 AND RE-ACCELERATED TO 55 MPH, THE SHUDDERING BECAME A SEVERE VIBRATION. WE TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SINCE WE HAD RECENTLY A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH OUR LOCAL NISSAN DEALER IN FIXING ANOTHER PROBLEM (TIMING CHAIN). THE MECHANIC DROPPED THE TRANSMISSION PAN AND FOUND THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. MECHANIC STATED WE WERE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE CAUGHT THIS RIGHT AWAY AS IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A LOT OF OTHER PROBLEMS TOO LENGTHY TO MENTION HERE. MECHANIC REPLACED RADIATOR AND DID A TRANNY FLUSH BUT I'M NOT SURE OUR PROBLEMS ARE OVER. NOW THE FUEL GAUGE REGISTERS EMPTY AFTER I HAVE JUST FILLED UP WITH FUEL, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND NOW I AM TOTALLY STRESSED OUT DRIVING ANYWHERE, AND ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC. *TR

I HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED VIBRATING AND THEN WOULD NOT MOVE, I TOOK TO LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP, THEY ADVISED THERE WAS A PROBLEM IN THE RADIATOR CAUSING DAMAGE TO TRANSMISSION, I TOOK TO NISSAN DEALER THEY ADVISED THAT NISSAN HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 80,000 MILES DUE TO THE RADIATOR, HOWEVER NISSAN HAD NOT SENT ANY INFORMATION REGARDING A PROBLEM ARE EXTENDING THE WARRANTY. IF I HAD KNOWN THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH RADIATOR, I WOULD HAVE HAD IT CHECKED PRIOR TO THE 80,000 MILES. THEN NISSAN SENDS LETTER THAT THEY ARE EXTENDING WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES WITH A 3,000 DOLLAR DEDUCTIBLE. IF I HAD RECEIVED A LETTER EARLIER FROM NISSAN ABOUT THE PROBLEM, I WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE NISSAN TO A DEALER PRIOR TO THE 80,000 MILES. AT TIMES THE TRANSMISSION WOULD STALL OUT WHEN MAKING A TURN, WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT; FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO ON COMING TRAFFIC. THE CAR ALSO HAS A FUEL GAUGE WHICH GIVES A FALSE READING AT ALL TIMES TO THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TANK DUE TO A FAULTY SENDING UNIT. SO NOW I AM STUCK WITH A BILL FOR 3,000 DOLLARS. I FEEL NISSAN WAS NEGLIGENT IN NOT ADVISING THEIR CUSTOMERS OF THE PROBLEM EARLIER. THE DEALER THEN CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS WORN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF 2,000 DOLLARS. MY NISSAN HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES AND THE RADIATOR, TRANSMISSION AND TIMING CHAIN ARE FAULTY, AND NISSAN SHOULD COVER THESE CHARGES. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY LOSE ITS ABILITY TO MOVE WHILE UNDER POWER. CHECKED TRANSMISSION OIL. THE LEVEL IS GOOD BUT THE FLUID IS "MILKY" IN COLOR. THE FLUID SHOULD BE A CLEAR, COLORED LIQUID. SUSPECT TRANSMISSION LINE INSIDE THE RADIATOR IS FRACTURED ALLOWING COOLANT TO MIX WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. *TR

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF WHAT HAPPENED.. I PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER, LOCAL TRADE AT A DEALERSHIP. AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE SOME DAYS LATER I STARTED TO NOTICE THE VEHICLE SHIFTED VERY HARD, STARTED MORE FREQUENTLY AS THE VEHICLE WAS ON THE ROAD LONGER.. FELT LIKE IT SLAMMED INTO EACH GEAR!!! I WAS DRIVING ACROSS A BRIDGE ONE MORNING AND ITS A 2 LANE BRIDGE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY RPMS REDLINE AND FEELS LIKE IM IN 3RD GEAR, ALL THE CARS BEHIND SWERVE INTO THE NEXT LIKE CAUSE I WAS GO THE SPEED LIMIT THEN THE CAR DROPS DOWN VERY RAPIDLY IN SPEED.I TRIED TO ACCELERATE BUT THE VEHICLE JUST STARTED TO SHAKE A LITTLE AND THE RPMS JUST REDLINED. I GET IT TO A LOCAL SHOP, COME TO FIND OUT THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND MESSED EVERYTHING UP.. ALL IN ALL THE SHOP TELLS ME THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION IS SHOT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.AND MY TOTAL BILL WOULD BE CLOSE TO $4,000 DOLLARS... VERY DISAPPOINTED IN NISSAN!!! LOST ALL FAITH AND WILL STICK TO HONDA FROM NOW ON!!!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT ANTI-FREEZE HAD ENTERED THE TRANSMISSION FROM THE RADIATOR. AS A RESULT, BOTH THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR SLOWED UP. LIGHT CAME ON THAT STATED "SERVICE ENGINE SOON". WENT TO NISSAN DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS TRANSMISSION/RADIATOR SYSTEM GONE AND NEEDS TOTAL REPLACEMENT. *TR

THE FUEL SENSOR WENT, THE GAS GAUGE DROPPED DOWN TO E AND THE GAS WARNING LIGHT WENT ON, WHICH IN TURN SET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED IT WOULD WORK ONE DAY AND THEN MAYBE NOT THE NEXT, AS OF OCTOBER 2012, IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. I TRAVEL WITH 3 CHILDREN, HIGHWAY DRIVING, DAILY. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND WHEN I SPOKE TO NISSAN, IT APPARENTLY HAS BEEN RECALLED BUT FOR ONLY CERTAIN VIN #'S, NONE OF WHICH IS MINE. THIS MAKES NO SENSE. I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX IT AND KNOWING IT IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM I HAVE A HARD TIME NOT MAKING NISSAN RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. IF IT WAS A FLUKE AND IT WAS JUST MY VEHICLE, THEN YES I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR IT OR DEAL WITH IT BUT NOT WHEN ITS APPARENT THERE IS AN ISSUE. I TRY TO MATHEMATICALLY FIGURE OUT MY MILEAGE BUT SOME TIMES THAT DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK OUT AND I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS, THANK YOU. *TR

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER, FIRST MY FUEL SENSOR FAILED, AND NOW AT APPROX 92,000 MILES MY VEHICLE HAS THIS HORRIBLE VIBRATION AT 45MPH AND 60 MPH. AFTER THINKING IT WAS MY TIRES OFF BALANCE AND HAVING THEM SERVICED AND AN ALIGNMENT DONE, I DECIDED TO DO SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND CALLED MY NISSAN SERVICE DEPT. TO MY SURPRISE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FLUIDS MIXING, CAUSING THE TRANNY TO FAIL. IF THIS IS NOT A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS. PLEASE REVIEW, IT WILL COST THE CONSUMER APPROX $8,000 TO FIX AND NOT TO MENTION THE INCONVENIENCE. IF THIS WERE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT I WOULD NOT COMPLAIN, BUT THERE ARE A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS. I EVEN CONTACTED NISSAN CORP. AND AFTER 3 WEEKS I AM STILL WAITING ON A RETURN CALL. I DO HIGHWAY DRIVING AND HAVE 3 CHILDREN IN MY VEHICLE DAILY. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER IN 2009. IT HAD 64000 MILES AND I PAID $18500. OF COURSE THE DEALER DID NOT INFORM ME OF THE ISSUE. SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THIS CAR (ONE PREVIOUS OWNER) I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TWO CAT CONVERTERS, A RADIATOR, A PRESSURE GAUGE, AND NOW A TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE RADIATOR FLUIDS AND TRANSMISSION FLUIDS ARE MIXING. IT CAUSES THE CAR TO JERK UNCONTROLLABLY OUT OF NOWHERE WHILE IN NORMAL OPERATION. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE, THE SERVICE ADVISER HAD ME CHANGE THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION MAINTENANCE. THIS COSTS ME $1650. TWO CAT CONVERTERS, $3200. NOW THEY SAID I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION FOR $5000+. THERE HAVE BEEN OVER 5000 COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAFETY ISSUE, AND THE NHTSA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE. WILL SOMEONE HAVE TO BE KILLED FIRST IN A PATHFINDER FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE? THE CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND COULD CARE LESS. I HAVE BEEN SPOKEN TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, THEY HAVE DECIDED I WAS ONE NOT WORTHY OF HELP DUE TO MILEAGE. THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS NISSAN KNOWS AND UNDERSTANDS THIS WILL HAPPEN TO THEIR CARS EVENTUALLY. IT IS NOT ONLY PATHFINDERS, BUT ALSO FRONTIERS, MAXIMAS, ALTIMAS, ETC. READ ALL OF THE BLOGS. IT IS A JOKE. NISSAN NEEDS BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE DESIGN FLAW. THEY ARE HAVING THEIR CUSTOMERS PAY FOR NISSAN'S PROBLEM. USA NISSAN CUSTOMERS NEED YOUR HELP. NISSAN NEEDS TO BE PUNISHED FOR THEIR INACTION. NISSAN HAS ALSO SETTLED A CLASS ACTION LAW

STEERING WHEEL WOBBLES UP AND DOWN AND SIDE TO SIDE AS IF IT WAS LOOSE. SEARCHING THE INTERNET I FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS UP TO THE POINT WHERE STEERING BECOMES DISABLED CAUSING ACCIDENTS. REGARDLESS OF MY FINDINGS IN THE INTERNET, THERE ARE NO RECALLS FROM NISSAN TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE WOULD JUMP TO SECOND GEAR AND SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS. AFTER DIAGNOSIS THEY ADVISED HIM THAT HE NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 135,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 136,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I HAD MULTIPLE POSTING PREVIOUSLY ON MY 2006 BRAND NEW NISSAN PATHFINDER. FIRST PROBLEM WAS WITH THE ECM WHICH WAS LATER FIXED FOR ABOUT $2000, LATER NISSAN REIMBURSED. AS LITHIA SPRING GA. NISSAN DEALERSHIP HAD MY SUV TO FIX THE ECM, ON DAY OF PICK UP, 2 FRONT CATALYTIC CONVERTERS WERE DEFECTIVE EVIDENCE BY A LOUD HOLLOW NOISE WHICH THE DEALERSHIP DENIED. FEW MONTHS LATER I WAS NOTIFIED BY NISSAN MANUFACTURERS TO TAKE MY SUV FOR A RECALLED MAINTENANCE ON RADIATOR ASSEMBLE ISSUES. I TOOK MY SUV TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP WITH MY NOTICED, THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO COMPLETE THE RECALLED MAINTENANCE AND CLAIMED THAT MY SUV HAD A HIGHER MILEAGE THAN WHAT THE MANUFACTURERS ARE RECALLING. TWO WEEKS LATER MY SUV WENT INTO A CLOUD OF SMOKE WITH A ROOTING EGGS ODOR AND AS I TOWED THE CAR TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP, I WAS CHARGE $98 TO COMPLETE DIAGNOSTIC AND I WAS INFORMED THE VALVES BODY, THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR AND MY TRANSMISSION NEED A REPLACEMENT FOR THE TOTAL OF OFFER $5000. I MANAGED TO COMPLETE PAYMENT ON THE CAR, I HAD JUST CANCELLED THE REGISTRATION ON MY SUV. I STILL NEED HELP TO GET MY SUV RUNNING AGAIN. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASED I DROVE OF WITH ONLY 20 MILES IN MY SUV. IT IS UN-ACCEPTABLE THAT NISSAN AND NISSAN DEALERSHIP AROUND THE NATION WOULD NOT STAND OUT TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITIES TO THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS; RATHER, TO TRY TO CLEAN OUT THE POCKETS OF NISSAN OWNERS. I HAD A SERVICE MANAGER AT NISSAN LITHIA SPRING GA. ASKED ME WHAT TYPE OF JOB AM I DOING? I TOLD HIM THAT IS

SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING RECENTLY. I RESEARCHED POSSIBILITIES ON CAUSE AND DISCOVERED VIA THE INTERNET THIS WAS TYPICAL OF THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR AND THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR AND SENDING UNIT HAD ISSUES. NISSAN INFO ON RECALLS INDICATES THAT ABOUT 74,000 VEHICLES OF THIS TYPE/YEAR HAD THAT PROBLEM AND WERE BEING RECALLED. I TOOK IT TO THE GRESHAM, OR NISSAN DEALER ON OCT 17, 2012 AND AFTER A CHECK UP WAS ADVISED MINE WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL. THAT WILL BE $451 TO REPLACE. I DECLINED AND APPEALED WITH NISSAN - CASE #[XXX]. [XXX], AT NISSAN, 1800-647-7261 X [XXX] SAYS NISSAN CAN'T HELP ME. OCT 29, 2012 VERY CONVENIENT ON THEIR PART AND FRUSTRATING ON MY PART! CAN YOU HELP? THANK YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY NISSAN HAS 108,000 MILES, ALWAYS HAD ALL REQUIRED MAINTENANCE TRANSMISSION MAKES A "CLANK" AT 15 TO 20 MPH AND VIBRATES SEVERELY WHEN I LOWER THE SPEED OR TRY TO REGAIN THE SPEED FROM 40 OR 60 MPH. IT ALSO DRAGS, LOSSES POWER AND VIBRATES WHEN GOING UP HILL ON LOWER SPEED SAY 20 MPH. INTERNET INFORMATION, REVEALS THAT THE CAUSE IS RADIATOR WATER LEAK TO THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS. THE PATHFINDER ALSO HAS MOTOR OIL, LEAKS, IN THE OIL FILTER AREA INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED MALFUNCTIONING, FAULTY PART BOTH CONDITION IS KNOWN BY NISSAN CORP OFFICE INTERNET SEARCH HAS REVEALS EXTENSIVE COMPLAINTS JUST LIKE MINES AND NISSAN DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT FOR BOTH PLEASE REQUEST A RECALL MOTOR OIL, LEAKS, IN THE OIL FILTER AREA. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING WOULD ONLY BLOW SEMI-COOL AIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID WERE MIXING TOGETHER ABNORMALLY. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE COOLANT LINES AND THE RADIATOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE LINES AND THE RADIATOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT BECAUSE THE FAILURE WAS NOT UNCOMMON, THEY WOULD EXTEND HER WARRANTY BUT NOT FOR THE RECENT REPAIRS. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 82,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

VEHICLE STARTED SHUDDERING AND LOST PROPULSION ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER THIS INCIDENT IT BEGAN SLAMMING INTO GEARS AND WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE. LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO BE TOLD THAT THE RADIATOR FAILED CAUSING COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID TO MIX, CAUSING INCORRECT INTERNAL TRANSMISSION PRESSURE, AND INTERNAL FAILURE. NISSAN REFUSES TO TAKE ACCOUNTABLE ACTION AND REPAIR THE FAILURES. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT AND IN NO WAY SHOULD THE CONSUMER BE RESPONSIBLE. THANKFULLY NOBODY WAS BEHIND ME ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED AS I HAD MY THREE KIDS IN THE CAR. *TR

ENGINE OIL COOLER RUPTURED TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE CONTACT MERGED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED TO SHAKE BETWEEN 40 AND 50 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKED INTO THE RADIATOR. AS RESULT, THE TRANSMISSION BECAME DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, SHE NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT DISPLAY THE ACCURATE FUEL LEVEL. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILIARY TANK). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,200 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE 94,000.

TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. STARTED LURCHING AND LOST SPEED. ALMOST GOT HIT. HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT PLUS THE TORQUE CONVERTER REBUILT. 10/15/2012 TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AGAIN AND LOSING POWER. AT MILEAGE 169,886 MECHANIC TOLD ME COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANMISSION. REPAIRED AGAIN AND BROUGHT HOME ON 10/18/2012. THAT EVENING TAKING MY SON TO FOOTBALL PRACTICE, LOST POWER GOING 50 MPH AND ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. I'M DONE WITH THIS DANGEROUS VEHICLE BUT I DON'T WANT ANYONE DRIVING IT. *TR

RADIATOR/ TRANSMISSION FAILED CAUSING BREAKDOWN RADIATOR WAS AFFECTED AS WELL AS WHEN THE INTERIOR COMPONENTS OF THE RADIATORS (INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COOLERS) BROKE DOWN ALLOWING COOLANT TO MIX WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. AS A RESULT OF THE CONTAMINATION, THE TRANSMISSION AND OTHER DRIVE TRAIN COMPONENTS WERE DAMAGED AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. *TR

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE CONTACT NOTICED THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY. AFTER FUELING THE VEHICLE THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE RADIATOR HAD LEAKED WATER INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. AS A RESULT, THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION UNDER NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: DP12004 (POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: TORQUE CONVERTER POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: COOLING UNIT AND LINES POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM)) THAT MAY BE RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

VEHICLE ENGINE STARTED SKIPPING WHILE IN MOTION, ENGINE TEMPERATURE WENT UP TO OVERHEATED AND SPEED AUTOMATICALLY REDUCED ITSELF TO NO MORE THAN 35MPH ON THE ROAD, CAUSED TRAFFIC TO AVOID VEHICLE FROM HITTING IN THE REAR END. HAD TO DRIVE SMALL ROADS TO GET HOME. NISSAN SERVICE FIXED COOLANT PUMP BUT WE FOUND OUT LATER THIS WAS NOT THE ISSUE AS LESS THAN 6 MONTHS LATER THE ENGINE OVERHEATED AGAIN, ONLY THIS TIME THE RADIATOR LEAKED COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND RUINED THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. WE FIND OUT THAT NISSAN HAS HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS OF SUCH INCIDENTS AND HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL. OUR COST TO REPAIR IS $8,700 FOR A 6 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 100,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

DEAR SIR/MADAM: MY HUSBAND, OUR THREE SMALL DAUGHTERS, AND MYSELF WERE PULLING OUT OF TOYS R US WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT RESPOND. THE CAR JERKED AND CHOKED AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE DEPRESSION OF THE ACCELERATOR. WE NARROWLY AVOIDED BEING BROADSIDED BY A SEMI-TRUCK! THANK GOODNESS MY HUSBAND SWERVED AND SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL WHERE WE COASTED TO A STOP. IT WAS HARROWING TO SAY THE LEAST. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. HE WAS UNABLE TO "REPRODUCE" THE SYMPTOMS. WE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM TWICE SINCE THEN AND I'VE CONTACTED NISSAN USA TO NO AVAIL. WE WON'T EVEN DRIVE THE VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY SINCE THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT. PLEASE ADVISE. REGARDS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MAJOR ISSUES WITH MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. INTERMIX WITH COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP KNEW AFTER A FEW MOMENTS FROM LIFTING MY HOOD. THE MECHANIC EXPLAINED IT WOULD COST OVER $1500 TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION AND ADVISED ME TO COME BACK AFTER 10K MILES. AFTER HAVING THE RADIATOR ($800) REPLACED I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY FOR LESS THAN A MILE AND MY RPMS WERE REVVING HIGH WHEN I ACCELERATED AND THE TRUCK WAS OBVIOUSLY STUCK IN GEAR. TOOK PATHFINDER BACK (TWO DAYS) TO MECHANIC AND FOUND THE RADIATOR CONTAMINATED ONCE AGAIN AND NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH WILL COST $2500 THAT I DON'T HAVE AND I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW VEHICLE. I'M MAKING PAYMENTS ON A CAR I CAN'T DRIVE. MY HUSBAND IS DRIVING A 2005 ALTIMA WHICH IS HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND JUST HAVEN'T BROKEN DOWN COMPLETE. NISSAN SHOULD RECOGNIZED THIS ISSUE AND ADDRESS ASAP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 35 MPH THE DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE LANES AND NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL FELT LOOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A MECHANIC AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,250 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 61,270. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE BUT IT FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY CONFIRMED THE RADIATOR LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND BOTH COMPONENTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 134,139.

THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL. THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY DUE TO EMPTY TANK WHILE THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED AT LEAST 5 GALLONS (1/4 TANK) LEFT IN THE TANK. *TR

THE 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE RADIATOR (COOLANT) LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. TRUCK BEGAN TO SHUDDER AS IF DRIVING ON RUMBLE STRIPS. LEAKING FLUID CAUSES WHAT FIRST STARTS OUT AS A RUMBLE DURING SHIFTING AROUND 40 MPH, THEN EVENTUALLY LEADS TO A SEIZE OF THE TRANSMISSION WHICH CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME. SHOULD THE TRANSMISSION FAIL WHILE IN TRAFFIC IT COULD CAUSE A ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THEY ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 103,800 MILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AND REQUIRED EXCESSIVE FORCE IN ORDER TO CONTINUE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND RESUMED WITH THE FAULTY STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THAT THE UPPER STEERING SHAFT COLUMN BEARINGS CONTRIBUTED TO THE STEERING MALFUNCTION. THE UPPER STEERING SHAFT COLUMN WAS BEING REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,300.

MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER HAD SEVERE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 50MPH CAUSED BY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT ALMOST CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON A BUSY MAJOR HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. MY CAR SPUTTERED AND STALLED UNABLE TO EXCEED 40 MPH. I PULLED OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER AND WAITED OVER AN HOUR FOR THE TOW TRUCK WHILE CARS ZOOMED PAST ME AT 60 MPH. MY CAR WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A RADIATOR THAT LEAKED ANTIFREEZE INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSING TRANSMISSION FAILURE. NISSAN HAS SEVERAL CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS AGAINST THEM FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR UPDATED IVOQ 10/24/12

I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER ON A HIGHWAY IN LIGHT TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 60 MPH WHEN I BEGAN TO HEAR A HIGH-PITCHED WHINE FROM THE ENGINE AREA. WHEN I STARTED TO ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE "BUCKED," OR LURCHED FORWARD, AND BEGAN TO SHAKE. THERE WAS NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME AT THE TIME; IF ANOTHER VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN MY PATH, I WOULD HAVE SLAMMED INTO IT. I WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT INCIDENT AND DRIVE/COAST TO A SAFE PLACE WHERE I IMMEDIATELY CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK. THE REPAIR SHOP AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. NISSAN APPARENTLY KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT DID NOT SUGGEST THAT THE POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE RADIATOR BE REPLACED BEFORE IT LED TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READING, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART VEHICLE. THE CONTACT REFUELED THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO RESOLVE THE FAILURE MOMENTARILY BEFORE RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY REPLACING THE FUEL SENSOR. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR ABNORMALLY. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY COOLING FLUID LEAKING INTO THE RADIATOR. THE DEALER THEN PERFORMED A TRANSMISSION SYSTEM FLUSH AND THE FAILURE WAS RESOLVED. ONE YEAR LATER AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER WHO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION MODULE SYSTEM HAD FAILED. THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A LEAK OF COOLING FLUID INTO THE RADIATOR SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE APPROXIMATE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN ACTING UP LATELY AND WENT INTO A SAFETY MODE THAT I CAN ONLY RUN ON 3RD GEAR. MY OVERDRIVE HAS BEEN GIVING ISSUES FOR A LONG TIME THAT IT WOULDN'T LOCK FULLY SO I HAVE BEEN RUNNING ON FOURTH GEAR. *TR

I USE THIS VEHICLE TO COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK. I CURRENTLY SERVE IN THE U.S. MILITARY AND MUST DRIVE OVER CAUSEWAYS THAT ARE LOCATED OVER WATER TO GET TO WORK. THE VIBRATIONS FROM THE FAILING TRANSMISSION CAUSE A MAJOR CONCERN WHEN GOING OVER THESE CAUSEWAYS. IF THE TRANSMISSION WERE TO FAIL GOING 50 MPH IT COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT POSSIBLY KILLING MY FAMILY, ME AND POSSIBLY MANY MORE. TODAY I WAS TAKING THE FAMILY OUT FOR DINNER. ON OUR WAY I DROVE OVER THE CAUSEWAY DRIVING 55 AND CAME TO AN EXIT. AS I WAS EXITING, THE VEHICLE STARTED JERKING VIGOROUSLY. THANKFULLY THERE WAS ENOUGH ROOM TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE TO BRING IT TO A STOP. NOW THE VEHICLE WILL NOT DRIVE PAST 1ST GEAR, SO OBVIOUSLY I HAD TO GET IT TOWED. NISSAN MUST ADDRESS THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED, BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE WAITING FOR. *TR

RADIATOR LEAKED INTO AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH SHORTED OUT, BUT NOT UNTIL TRANSMISSION WAS BURNT UP. *TR

TRANSMISSION HAS COMPLETELY FAILED DUE TO LEAKAGE FROM THE RADIATOR CRACK. RUMBLING STARTED AT ABOUT 130K MILES, TRANSMISSION STARTING SLIPPING SEVERAL WEEKS AGO. WE TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP AND PAID $300 FOR A COMPLETE FLUSH AND REPLACEMENT OF FLUID. IT DID NO GOOD - TRANSMISSION IS NOW NOT WORKING AT ALL. *TR

I TOOK MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP BECAUSE WHEN I ACCELERATED OR SLOWED DOWN IT WAS GIVING A "BUCKING" FEELING AND MY REGULAR MECHANIC REFERRED ME TO THEM. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE FAULTY RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR ANYWHERE FROM $4800-$5500. WOW WHAT A SHOCK! THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A VERY BUST HIGHWAY TOWING OUR 3000 LB BOAT OUR SUV BEGAN TO SHUTTER AND SLOW DOWN SWIFTLY CAUSING TRAFFIC TO SWERVE DANGEROUSLY AROUND OUR BOAT AND CAR AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE A MAJOR PILE UP. APPARENTLY, THE DEFECT IN THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION LINES CAUSED THE FLUIDS TO MIX, OVERHEATING AND DAMAGING OUR TRANSMISSION. WE WERE UNAWARE OF THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM SINCE WE BOUGHT THIS CAR IN A PRIVATE SALE 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. LUCKILY A CRISIS WAS AVERTED, HOWEVER IT HAD THE POTENTIAL FOR A CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES BECAUSE THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN WITHOUT TOUCHING BRAKES THEREFORE NOT SIGNALING TO FOLLOWING VEHICLES THAT WE WERE INDEED SLOWING RAPIDLY. *TR

THIS BEGAN INTERMITTENTLY SHOWING PROBLEMS ON THE HIGHWAY, DURING ACCELERATION (AFTER LETTING OFF THE GAS PEDAL TO SLOW) THE CAR WOULD START TO SHAKE SLIGHTLY AND LOSE POWER BEFORE AGAIN RUNNING SMOOTHLY IN MAY 2011. LATER IT STARTED TO DO IT AT SLOWER SPEEDS DURING ACCELERATION. THEN IT WOULD SOMETIMES HAVE ONE OR TWO CLUNKS DURING ACCELERATION, BEFORE AGAIN RUNNING SMOOTHLY. WE TOOK OUR CAR AGAIN TO OUR MECHANIC IN MAY 2012, AND FOUND THAT THE RADIATOR HAD BEEN LEAKING, THEN GUSHED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. WE REPLACED THE RADIATOR, AND FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION TO HELP FIX THE ISSUES. THE ISSUES STILL CONTINUE TODAY, ALTHOUGH WE RARELY DRIVE THE CAR AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE AN NEW TRANSMISSION. *TR

I TOOK MY NISSAN PATHFINDER ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.1ST VISIT 11/29/2011, 2ND VISIT 3/12/2012, 3RD VISIT 6/11/2012 INTERMIX WITH COOLANT AND TRANNY FLUID, REPLACED RADIATOR 800.00, TOLD ME TO COME BACK AND TEST FLUIDS AFTER 1000 MILES, SAME ISSUE, FLUSHED OUT THE TRAN FLUID 250.00,T OLD ME TO COME BACK AFTER 1000 MILES TO TEST FLUID, SAME PROBLEM. PAID 600.00 TO CLEAN OUT TRANSMISSION PAN AND WHATEVER BS THEY TOLD ME, NOW RPMS ARE REVVING HIGH WHEN I TRY TO TAKE OFF, AND I AM AT RISK FOR STALLING OR TRANSMISSION FAILING IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION OR HIGHWAY. MY WIFE AND I ARE EXPECTING OUR 1ST CHILD IN JANUARY AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE BRINGING OUR NEWBORN IN THIS VEHICLE AND PUTTING HER LIFE AT RISK. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, AND LODGED A COMPLAINT THEN ANOTHER REP CALLED ME BACK AND SAID I DO NOT QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE BECAUSE I HAVE 98K ON MY VEHICLE AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THEY OFFERED WAS UP TO 80K. REGARDLESS THERE ARE MANY PATHFINDER OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM, SHE DISPLAYED NO EMPATHY, AND KEPT SAYING THE SAME THING, "I UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATION, BUT WE CANNOT HELP YOU"....UNBELIEVABLE!! VEHICLE HAS 98K AND IT'S PAID OFF. DON'T WANT A NEW VEHICLE, AND WANT NISSAN TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE AND FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS THIS PROBLEM! *TR

GOING 70 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING REAL BAD THE RPM GAUGE WAS GOING NUTS. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A STOP THEN TRIED TO START IT AGAIN THE VEHICLE JUMPED UNCONTROLLABLY. PARKED IT AND HAD IT PICKED UP BY A TOWTRUCK. WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. FAULTY VALVE ON RADIATOR CONTAMINATED TRANSMISSION. I AM SO GLAD THAT ME AND MY DAUGHTER WERE OK THIS WAS VERY SCARY. *TR

OUR PATHFINDER HAS FAILED AND BEEN "REPAIRED" 7 TIMES NOW FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. IT'S RELATED TO THE ISSUE ABOUT THE FUEL SENDING UNITS. I WAS EVEN ALSO TOLD BY NISSAN THAT THE SENDING UNIT WAS REPLACED BEFORE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 22K MILES. TO DATE NO LESS THAN 3 UNITS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED (INCLUDING THE NEWLY DESIGNED ONE 2X ) TO ADDRESS PLASTIC GAS TANK ISSUES. ON THREE OCCASIONS WE'VE RUN OUT OF FUEL. IT REGISTERS 1/2 TANK AND THEN WE RUN OUT. OR IT IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE 1/2 TANK AND THEN DROPS TO E AND THE EMPTY FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. THIS WHOLE THING HAS PASSED THE INSANE LEVEL. ONCE I HAD TO PAY 400+ FOR REPAIRS AS THE WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE WAS EXPIRED. I TRIED TO ARGUE IT WAS COVERED UNDER PREVIOUS REPAIRS BUT THAT'S LIKE SPITTING IN THE WIND (NISSAN AS WELL AS THE DEALER COWELS NISSAN). SINCE THE LAST "REPAIR" A FEW MONTHS AGO IT HAS ALSO FAILED 4 MORE TIMES. WE'RE JUST IN THE HABIT OF USING THE TRIP METER. FIRST QUESTION IS THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU POTENTIALLY COULD JUST RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE INTERSTATE. ALSO WITH ALL THESE ERRORS IN THE COMPUTER THE VEHICLE WON'T PASS STATE SAFETY INSPECTIONS. LAST TIME NISSAN REFUSED TO REPLACE THE SENDER UNIT OR AUTHORIZE ANY REPAIRS OR PAY FOR A LOANER VEHICLE. THEY CLAIMED THE MECHANIC DROVE IT HOME AND FOUND NO ERRORS...IS THERE SOMETHING YOU CAN HELP OUT WITH THIS ISSUE. WITH ALL THESE REPAIRS ALL THESE PARTS / LABOR WARRANTIED FOR 12M / 12,000 MILES. WHY ARE THEY NOT HELPING? CAN SOMEONE AS

THE TRANSMISSION IS SHOT! *TR

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS OR VIBRATES EXTENSIVELY AT APPROX 42 MPH, 55 MPH, AND 62 MPH. IT CANNOT DOWNSHIFT PROPERLY - I HAVE TO DRIVE ABOVE OR BELOW THE REFERENCED SPEEDS TO AVOID THE SHAKING. IN LATER INCIDENTS, THE VEHICLE JOLTED BUT NOT OUT OF CONTROL. *TR

THERE WAS A LINE OF CARS AND I TRIED TO STOP AND THE BRAKES STARTED TO MAKE A SOUND AND DOESNT RESPOND I MADE A LEFT TURN AND IT STOPPED. *TR
