2007 Nissan Pathfinder complaints

MY 2007 NISSON PATHFINDER BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS AND WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE MECHANIC, HE STATED THE COOLANT FLUID WENT INTO THE TRANMISSION AND CAUSED MAJOR PROBLEMS AND NOW THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION NEED REPLACEMENT TO THE TUNE OF $4900.00 (APPROXIMATE PRICE GIVEN BY LEE MYLES). I ACTUALLY BROUGHT THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALER AND THEIR QUOTE WAS $5800.00 AND THEN THEY STATATED OTHER ISSES NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED AND THEY STATED THE TOTAL COST WOULD BE $10,000.00! BOOK VALUE OF THE CAR THROUGH KELLY BLUE BOOK IS $9,600.00 IN EXCELLENT CONDITION! I SAW THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH PATHFINDERS AND I WANTED TO TELL MY STORY. I HOPE THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE AGAINST NISSAN! *TR

DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN IS RESPONSIBLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING AT 10 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE THAT CAME FROM THE TRANSMISSION AS IF THE VEHICLE WERE IN NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,500.

RADIATOR FAILED, MIXED COOLANT INTO TRANSMISSION FLUID CAUSED TRANSMISSION TO FAIL.REPAIRS ESTIMATED AT $5000. *TR

RADIATOR LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION, CAUSING BOTH TO GO OUT. REPEATEDLY TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM BUT THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE RADIATOR-TRANSMISSION ISSUE. ONCE MY CAR FINALLY DIED I WAS FORCED TO REPAIR ON MY OWN WITH NO HELP FROM NISSAN. I WAS TOO FAR OVER MILES TO BE INCLUDED IN THEIR "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM" WHICH ONLY COVERED COST OVER $3,000 AND UNDER 100,000 MILES. I SPENT $4,360.00 OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION AND BYPASS RADIATOR. *TR

ENGINE NOISE COMING FROM THE SECONDARY TIMING CHAIN AND TENSIONERS. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT TO NISSAN DEALER THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. WHEN I BROUGHT IT BACK MONTHS LATER THEY TOLD ME I HAD LOW OIL IN ENGINE AND COMBINED WITH I WAS PAST THE 60,000 WARRANTY NOW (67,861) THAT I WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY KNEW THIS WAS A PROBLEM AND CLAIMED THAT I HAD NO RECORD OF IT BEING A PROBLEM SINCE THEY COULDN'T "FIND" ANYTHING WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN THE FIRST TIME. TWO DEALERSHIPS TOLD ME THAT IT WAS JUST A NOISE WHEN IN FACT NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUE THIS WHOLE TIME. I WAS TOLD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR MYSELF WHICH WAS ABOVE $1,500.00. *TR

THE RADIATOR LEAKS FLUIDS INTO THE TRANSMISSION, INTERMIXING THE FLUIDS. THIS IS RUINING THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO OVERHEAT AND LEAK. THIS MAKES THE VEHICLE NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

GAS GAUGE DISPLAYS INCORRECTLY AND HAS A RELATED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE GAUGE SOMETIMES SEEMS TO WORK AND THEN PRECIPITOUSLY DROPS TO EMPTY EVEN THOUGH TANK IS NEARLY FULL. THIS ADDITIONALLY SEEMS TO CAUSE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO DISPLAY, AND WHEN CHECKED, SHOWS A P0463 CODE (FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH INPUT). THE CAR IS NEARLY UNDRIVABLE DUE TO FEAR OF RUNNING OUT OF FUEL OR WORSE SUCH AS A FUEL LEAK OR ELECTRICAL SHORT. THE "DISTANCE TO EMPTY" DISPLAY ON THE DASH ALSO NO LONGER WORKS AS A BACKUP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. EVERY TIME THE FUEL GAUGE READ BELOW HALF A TANK, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL. THE VEHICLE WOULD RESTART AND RESUME NORMAL OPERATION ONCE THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RADIATOR HAD A CRACK AND LEAKED FLUID INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED. UPDATED 08/19/15*JB UPDATED 10/07/15*LJ UPDATED 10/11/2017*CN

I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME FROM MY DAUGHTERS DOCTORS APPOINTMENT. IT WAS DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC TIME. AS I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE I FELT A JERK ON THE CARD AND THE O/D LIGHT START FLASHING. I WAS ALMOST HOME SO I KEPT DRIVING TO MAKE IT HOME. DID NOT WANT TO B STRANDED IN THE ROAD WITH MY DAUGHTER. AS I PUSHED ON THE GAS IT DID NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE AN MORE, ALL THE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND WE PRETTY MUCH STROLLED INTO THE NEAREST GAS STATION. I PUT IT IN PARK AND WAITED A MOMENT AND TRIED TO SEE IF IT WOULD CUT BACK ON, BUT IT DIDN'T. I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE MECHANIC SHOP AND HE SAID IT SMELLED LIKE RADIATOR FLUID. AFTER DOING DIAGNOSTIC HE SAID PROBLEM WAS TO DUE TO A CRACK THAT LEAKED RADIATOR FLUID INTO TRANSMISSION. SO NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR AND COMPUTER. COST WOULD BE OVER $5,000. *TR

I AM WRITING TO INFORM YOU OF AN INTERMITTENT BRAKE FAILURE/ UN-COMMANDED VEHICLE ACCELERATION PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. ON APRIL 4, 2015 I BROUGHT MY 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER TO THE NISSAN AUSTIN NORTHTOWN DEALERSHIP (AUSTIN, TX) FOR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, WHICH INCLUDED SERVICING/REPLACEMENT OF MY BRAKES, PADS, AND FLUIDS. IN THE THREE WEEKS SINCE THIS SERVICE WAS COMPLETED I HAVE ENCOUNTERED SEVERAL BRAKE FAILURES IN WHICH: (1) THE BRAKES FAILED TO HOLD PRESSURE RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATING FORWARD FROM A STOP SEVERAL FEET, (2) THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WHEN APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SLOW THE VEHICLE TO A STOP, (3) THE BRAKES FAILED TO ACT UPON ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING FORWARD. THESE EVENTS HAVE BEEN INTERMITTENT AND HAVE OCCURRED ON THE FOLLOWING DATES: 04 APR 2015 SUV EXHIBITED UN-COMMANDED ACCELERATION WHILE HOLDING BRAKE AT STOP LIGHT 05 APR 2015 SUV EXHIBITED UN-COMMANDED ACCELERATION WHILE HOLDING BRAKE AT STOP LIGHT 08 APR 2015 SUV EXHIBITED UN-COMMANDED ACCELERATION WHILE HOLDING BRAKE AT STOP LIGHT 12 APR 2015 SUV EXHIBITED UN-COMMANDED ACCELERATION WHILE BRAKING TO A STOP 13 APR 2015 SUV BROUGHT TO NORTH TOWN NISSAN, MECHANICS UNABLE TO REPLICATE EVENT WHILE NISSAN MECHANICS HAVE ASSURED ME THAT THE EVENTS WERE COINCIDENTAL, UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I HAVE LEARNED THAT A CUSTOMER EXPERIENCED A SIMILAR EVENT FEBRUARY 7, 2009, AND HAS SINCE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING ONTO THE RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON TWO OCCASIONS WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CONTROL MODULE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE LEAK CAME FROM INSIDE THE RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

RADIATOR FAILURE (KNOWN NISSAN DEFECT) CAUSED COOLANT TO MIX WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID AND DESTROYED THE TRANSMISSION. THIS WAS A $4,600 REPAIR. NISSAN COVERED $0.00. *TR

NISSAN NEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS AND DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. THEIR DEFECTIVE RADIATOR IS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSING MY TRANSMISSION TO FAIL, AND THEY HAVE THE BALLS TO ASK ME TO PAY FOR IT. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT NISSAN VEHICLES FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS AND WAS ABOUT TO TRADE IN FOR A NEW MAXIMA. OH WELL MAYBE IT IS TIME TO CHANGE TO A DIFFERENT BRAND. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE IN PARK, THE HEATER FAILED TO FUNCTION. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FLUID IN THE RADIATOR WAS MILKY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

HEAVY VIBRATION WHILE SHIFTING HEAVY VIBRATION WHILE ACCELERATING SHUDDERING NOISES I AM FEARFUL THAT MY CAR WILL DIE WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. *TR

WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 31 DAYS AGO UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THERE WERE NO MAJOR PROBLEMS AS IT CAME FROM A SMALL DEALER LOT. TWO WEEKS AFTER DRIVING IT, WE NOTICED IT HAS SHIFTING PROBLEMS BETWEEN 3RD AND 4TH AND AT 40MPH IT VIBRATES. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN AND HAD A DIAGNOSTICS RUN ON IT WHICH REVEALED THE RADIATOR COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION, THEREFORE CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO GO BAD. WE CONTACTED OUR WARRANTY COMPANY, AS WE HAVE A 90 DAY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND IT IS NOT COVERED AT ALL. WE CONTACTED THE DEALER LOT WE PURCHASED IT FROM AND SO FAR, NOTHING IS BEING DONE. I HAVE DONE QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND NOTICED SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. CURIOUS TO KNOW WHY A RECALL HASN'T BEEN ISSUED YET? *TR

I JUST BOUGHT THIS SUV FROM A USED CAR LOT BACK ON FEB 16TH 2015 I STARTED TO NOTICE A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING FUNNY SO I HAD A 3 MONTH WARRANTY FROM THE USED CAR LOT I PURCHASED IT FROM. I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO HAVE A DYNO TEST,TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHAT WAS GOING ON. I GET A CALL FROM THEM 2 HRS LATER SAYING THE RADIATOR BLEED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND WAS NOT LUBING THE GEARS PROPERLY SWITCHED CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO SLEEP AND AS A RESULT OF THIS I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION FOR 6050.00 FOR BOTH +LABOR EXT. I CALL THE LOT I PURCHASED THIS FROM AND HE STAYS THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO FOR ME THE 3 MONTH POWER TRAIN WARRANTY I HAVE WAS VOID BECAUSE THE RADIATOR CAUSED THE PROBLEM I'VE DONE MY RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM OVER 600+ COMPLAINTS AND PROBLEMS FROM THIS VERY SAME THING I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN IN MY LIFE. *TR

PURCHASED 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER BRAND NEW. BROUGHT TO NISSAN DEALER DUE TO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON DASHBOARD. DIAGNOSIS PERFORMED AND DETERMINED RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION FLUID/COOLANT LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION. ESTIMATED REPAIR $6000 TO REPLACE RADIATOR/THERMOSTAT/TRANSMISSION. AT 140000 MILES, NISSAN STATES NO LONGER UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. DECLINED SERVICE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK VIOLENTLY AND THE VEHICLE REDUCED SPEED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER MORE THAN FIVE TIMES AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE OR DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO PROVIDED A TRANSMISSION TUNE UP AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN BACK TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A RADIATOR LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION COOLANT AND THE DEALER DID NOT INDICATE WHERE THE FRACTURE WAS COMING FROM WHICH WAS CAUSING THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE SEVERAL TIMES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

MY 2007 PATHFINDER HAS BEEN SHIFTING ROUGH AND SOUNDS LIKE I AM DRIVING ACROSS "RUMBLE STRIPS" USED ON THE ROAD TO KEEP DRIVERS AWAKE. I WENT TO THE DEALER TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUE. AFTER THEY CHECKED THE CAR OUT THEY TOLD ME I HAD POWER STEERING FLUID IN MY RADIATOR AND COOLANT IN MY POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY. WHEN I ASKED HOW THAT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN, THE TECH TRIED TO ASSURE ME THAT THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN RADIATOR LINES FAIL. I TOLD THEM I HAD NEVER HEARD OF THAT AND WANTED TO KNOW HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN. THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $5,250.00 TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR. THE SERVICE TECH AND SERVICE MANAGER ACTED LIKE THEY KNEW NOTHING AND SUGGESTED I CALL NISSAN NORTH AMERICA...I DID. THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE I HAD REPORTED MY ISSUE TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU MY CASE WAS SENT TO THE ARBITRATION DEPARTMENT. THE ARBITRATION GUY CALLED AND TOLD ME MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT NISSAN HAS KNOWN OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2005. NISSAN LOST A CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT THE REMEDY WAS TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY FOR 100,000 MILES. I'M CONFUSED BECAUSE I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW A MANUFACTURER CAN WARRANTY AWAY A DEFECT. FROM MY RESEARCH THE AVERAGE MILEAGE FOR THIS PROBLEM IS 112,000 MILES. MY CAR IS SLOWLY BECOMING NON DRIVABLE. I ACCELERATED OUT OF A PARKING LOT BUT THE CAR MOVED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND STARTED RUMBLING BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ANY FURTHER. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY ANOTHE

I NOTICED MY 2007 PATHFINDER'S HEATER WOULD ONLY WORK WHEN THE CAR WAS MOVING BUT, FIGURED IT WAS SOMETHING INSIGNIFICANT AND WOULD GET IT FIXED SOON. I THEN STARTED TO NOTICE MY TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AND STALLING OUT AROUND 40 MPH. I DECIDED I BETTER GET IT INTO THE SHOP BEFORE I WAS STRANDED SOMEWHERE. BEFORE TAKING MY CAR INTO THE SHOP, I FIGURED I'D CHECK THE INTERNET AND MAKE SURE THERE WEREN'T ANY RECALLS ON THE HEATING SYSTEM. I TYPED IN "2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER" ON GOOGLE AND IT AUTO-FILLED "TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS" - NOT A GOOD SIGN. APPARENTLY, NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THE FAULTY RADIATORS IN THESE VEHICLES WHICH LEAK ANTIFREEZE IN TO THE TRANSMISSION AND DESTROY THE DRIVE TRAIN, YET DID NOTHING ABOUT IT.. POST AFTER POST DESCRIBED THE EXACT SAME ISSUES I WAS HAVING WITH MY CAR - PEOPLE WERE DESCRIBING HOW THEIR CARS WERE GETTING STUCK IN HIGH OR LOW GEARS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND IT SCARED ME TO DEATH! I IMMEDIATELY CALLED TWO LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIPS AND GAVE THEM MY VIN AND MILEAGE. I WAS INFORMED, DUE TO SOME WORTHLESS SETTLEMENT WITH NISSAN, MY PORTION OF THE COST WOULD BE $3,000. HERE IS WHAT MOST INFURIATES ME ABOUT THIS SITUATION: 1. NISSAN WAS OBVIOUSLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE MANY YEARS AGO SO WHY DIDN'T THEY RECALL THE RADIATOR AND SAVE US THIS TROUBLE AND EXPENSE? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE? I'M SURE IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME WITH VEHICLES GETTING STUCK IN HIGH GEAR OR STALLING OUT ON THE INTERSTATE! 2. WHO DID THIS CLASS ACTION SUIT HELP E

I CURRENTLY HAVE A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER AND AT THE END OF OCTOBER IT STARTED ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL A FEW TIMES, THEN AFTER A FEW TIMES OF THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT TO GET EVALUATED AND IT COMES UP THAT IT HAS A FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. I HAVEN'T GOTTEN IT FIXED AS OF YET BECAUSE I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF 4 AND THE COST ISN'T CHEAP. I HAVE HAD NO REAL ISSUES WITH MY TRUCK OTHER THAN THIS AND AFTER RESEARCHING TODAY I AM SEEING MORE AND MORE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME THING BUT I DON'T SEE WHERE THERE IS A REAL RECALL FOR THIS. BUT IT SHOULD BE COVERED WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS THAT ARE IN ABOUT THIS. I DON'T WISH TO BE STRANDED SOMEWHERE WITH MY CHILDREN IN THIS COLD WEATHER. FOR SUCH AN EXPENSIVE VEHICLE YOU'D THINK SOMETHING AS SUCH WOULD BE COVERED WITH SO MANY GOING BAD SO NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM NOT HAPPY AT THE MOMENT. *TR

RADIATOR TRANSMISSION COOLANT LEAK. RADIATOR FLUID LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAK INTO THE RADIATOR DUE TO A FAULTY RADIATOR COOLANT LINE. TRANSMISSION IS NOW SLIPPING AT THIRD GEAR. NISSAN DEALER QUOTE TO REPLACE BOTH RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION $6,600 CHANGE. *TR

THE FRONT WINDOWS OF THE VEHICLE GO DOWN AFTER YOU CLOSE THE DOOR WITH THE BEEPER/ ALARM. THAT HAPPEN SEVERAL SECONDS AFTER YOU CLOSE OR OPEN THE CAR SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY CONTACT WITH THE VEHICLE. IT IS VERY PREOCCUPANT BECAUSE THAT HAPPEN SOME TIME WITHOUT YOU NOTICE IT SO IF YOU ARE AT A PUBLIC PARKING YOUR CAR IS WIDELY OPEN. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. I WAS DRIVING IT TO WORK AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I JUST FELT MY CAR`S ENGINE IS HAVING A HEART ATTACK, - A MYOCARDIAL INFRACTION. THEN IT STARTED CHOKING MINUTE BY MINUTE. BY THEN I KNEW MY SILVER 2007 PATHFINDER IS TURNING BLUE. GOTTA CALL THE CODE BLUE TEAM. I AM A NURSE SO THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN EXPLAIN WHAT I THINK WHAT'S GOING ON RATHER THAN MECHANICALLY. THE CAR IS 7 YEARS OLD, ALWAYS USED PREMIUM GAS, USE SYNTHETIC OIL ON IT, ALWAYS TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC CHECK UP AND MAINTENANCE, ONLY 63,000 LESS MILEAGE, I'M THE SOLE DRIVER. GOT IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, GOT DIAGNOSED BY MECHANIC AND TOLD ME THAT THE TIMING CHAIN SYSTEM IS SCREWED, AND EVENTUALLY DAMAGED THE PISTONS, THEN THERE WAS SOME LEAKAGE....THEY ASKED ME $4,100 FOR THE REPAIR. THIS EXPENSIVE REPAIR COST IS VERY UNEXPECTED AND NOT MY PRIORITY RIGHT NOW CAUSE I HAVE OTHER MORE IMPORTANT TO SPENT IT WITH. AND READING "NISSAN NORTH AMERICA NAMED IN CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ALLEGING FAILURE TO DISCLOSE DEFECT IN TIMING CHAIN SYSTEMS WHICH RESULTS IN PREMATURE FAILURE". NISSAN NEVER ISSUED A RECALL AND NOW THE CONSUMERS HAS TO PAY COSTLY REPAIRS. I PAID $4,480 SOMETHING. *TR

AT ACCELERATION OR WHILE DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS, I AM AWARE OF A POORLY SETTLED CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT,HOWEVER IT DOES NOTHING TO PROTECT VEHICLES ABOVE 100,000 MILES. THE RADIATOR IS DOCUMENTED FOR CRACKING AND LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS MY FIRST VEHICLE PURCHASE AND I CAN ASSURE YOU I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A NISSAN PRODUCT AGAIN,I REALIZE ALL VEHICLES BREAK DOWN HOWEVER NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THE COMMON PROBLEM AND CONTINUED TO DISREGARD THE VALUE OF THEIR BRAND BY NEGLECTING TO RECALL AND REPAIR THIS COMMON FAILURE. *TR

VEHICLE BROUGHT IN FOR OIL CHANGE AT THE NISSAN DEALER WHERE PURCHASED AND SERVICED. TOLD THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS SUSPECT, MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO CROSS CONTAMINATION OF COOLANT AND ATF. DEALER WOULD NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT RELEASED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND HAD TO ACCELERATE AGAIN VERY SLOWLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. IN ADDITION, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WAS CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE WAS CROSS CONTAMINATION WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING INTO THE RADIATOR AND COOLANT ENTERING THE TRANSMISSION. AS A RESULT, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE RADIATOR WAS REPLACED AND FLUSHED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED AND THE RADIATOR HAD TO BE CONTINUOUSLY FLUSHED OF TRANSMISSION FLUID. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT ASKED THE DEALER IF THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V690000 (AIR BAGS), BUT THE DEALER STATED THAT THE RECALL WAS NONEXISTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

FIRST THE FUEL SENSOR WENT OUT. ONCE I GOT THAT FIXED (640.00) THE FUEL TANK WOULDN'T FILL UP AND THE GAUGES WERE OFF. THEN FLUID LEAKED INTO THE RADIATOR AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR (1,000.00). THEN I HAD TO FLUSH IT TWICE. THEN THE CAR OVERHEATED BECAUSE THE THERMOSTAT WAS GONE. $250.00. NOW THE CAR WON'T START AND I'M BEING TOLD IT'S THE IGNITION GONE BAD. ALL OF THIS HAS HAPPEN OVER THREE MONTHS. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN. THIS WAS MY THIRD NISSAN AND LAST!!!!!!! WHERE ARE THE RECALLS IF THE SAME PROBLEMS ARE OCCURRING. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP AND THE RADIATOR FLUID OVERFLOW CANNISTER STARTED TO EXPEL A PURPLE LIQUID. CAR WAS FOUND TO HAVE A CRACKED TRANSMISSION COOLING TUBE IN THE BASE OF THE RADIATOR AND THE ANTIFREEZE HAD MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. FOUND OUT ON LINE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE AS A DEFECT. RADIATOR REPLACED AND COOLING SYSTEM FLUSHED ALONG WITH THE REQUIRED TRANSMISSION FLUSHING AND FLUID REPLACEMENT. REPAIRS BECAME VERY EXPENSIVE. ONLY HOPE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T FAIL NEXT. *TR
