2004 Nissan Pathfinder 4-DR.

MY SHIFTER KEEPS GETTING LOCKED 8N THE PARK POSITION. I HAVE REPLACED THE SHIFTER SOLENOID BUT IT DID IT AGAIN IN A WEEK..

I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION OF RECALL, ON 2014. I GOT TO THE DEALER AND THE PROBLEM WAS NOT REPAIRED. THEY TELL ME THEY WILL COLLING BACK WHEN THE PART ARRIVED TO THE CENTER BUT THEY DONT.

DRIVING AT 25 TO 50 MPH THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD RHYTHMICALLY. CAUSING NEAR COLLISIONS WITH VEHICLES IN FRONT OF IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE ADDING FUEL IN THE TANK, THE FUEL WOULD LEAK OUT BEFORE THE TANK WAS FULL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS FUELED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

TAKATA RECALL: I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW, AND AROUND THE 4TH YEAR, I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. THE FIRST FEW REPAIRS THE BRAKES PADS CHANGED, LINE, CYLINDER, AND FULL BRAKE REPLACEMENT:, BUT THE ISSUE PERSISTED OVER THE YEARS WITHOUT ANY MECHANIC THAT COULD PROVIDE ME WITH AN EXPLANATION OF THIS PROBLEM. MY MAIN REASON FOR WRITING THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE INHERENT DANGER OF THIS BRAKE ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TALKING TO OTHER OWNERS IN SOCIAL MEDIA GROUPS THIS BRAKE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE PATHFINDER ARMADA/TITAN MODELS. THIS IS A DANGER, PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. I CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP AND THE SENDING UNIT THINKING THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. I NEVER RECEIVED A WARNING THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. I LOOKED ONLINE FOR RECALLS AND SAW THAT THERE WERE RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM IN THE 2005 AND OLDER MODELS OF PATHFINDERS. I TOOK MY CAR TO A NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL NISSAN. LEARNED THAT MY FUEL GAUGE WASN'T WORKING WHEN MY CAR STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO MY CAR HAVING RUN OUT OF GAS WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. NO WARNING. NOTHING. IF THE FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING IS A PROBLEM WITH 2005 AND OLDER MODELS OF NISSAN WHY WASN'T THERE A RECALL FOR THE 2004 IF THIS IS ALSO AN ISSUE FOR THE 2004 MODEL? I TOOK MY CAR TO A NISSAN DEALER REGARDING THE FUEL GAUGE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART IS DISCONTINUED. HOW WOULD I FIX THIS IF THE PART DOESN'T EXISTS? IF THIS IS AN ISSUE IN THE 2004 NISSAN, WHY NOT RECALL THIS PART TO FIX THE PROBLEM? THIS COULD HAVE AND CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

TAKATA RECALL FOR AIRBAGS ON 2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER OF 2017 AND WAS NOT ADVISED OF THE RECALL ISSUED MAY 14, 2015 AT TIME OF PURCHASE. IN DECEMBER OF 2017 I WAS WAITING TO PULL OUT ONTO LONG POND RD AND AS I STARTED TO PULL OUT MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED CAUSING ME TO SWERVE AND SLAM MY DRIVER TAIL LIGHT SIDE INTO A MOUND CAUSING TAIL LIGHT TO BUST AND DENT IN SIDE PANEL AT TAIL LIGHT. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND NO ONE WILL RETURN MY CALLS OR ASSIST ME IN THIS MATTER. ALL I WANT IS MY AIR BAGS REPLACED AND THE TAIL LIGHT FIXED. THERE WAS NO IMPACT TO SET THE AIR BAGS OFF AS I WAS CLEARLY STOPPED AND HAD JUST PULLED ONTO STREET. I FEEL THAT BECAUSE OF MY YOUNG AGE NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY. I WAS 20 WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND IT IS MY FIRST VEHICLE PURCHASE EVER.

MY VEHICLE WAS MOSTLY IN THE STATE OF NY (SALT BELT STATE) FROM 2004 UNTIL 2015. (11 YEARS) IT'S NOW IN VA. THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS RUSTED BEYOND A NORMAL AMOUNT. THE EXHAUST ESPECIALLY HOLES ARE IN PIPING FROM THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER TO THE TAILPIPE. THE CARE IS LEAKING FUEL FROM THE METAL FILLER TUBE TO THE GAS TANK! MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO ADDRESS THESE SERIOUS ISSUES AND INFERIOR METAL PIPING PROBLEMS. I'M SCARED THE VEHICLE WILL BLOW UP.IT'S DANGEROUS.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS FLASHING

VEHICLE LIGHT FOR AIR BACK GOING ON IN THE SEATBELT DOESN'T WORK WELL

I BOUGHT THE TRUCK JANUARY 4TH THIS YEAR WHENI CHECKED TRANNMISSION FLUID WASN'T ON STICK. SO I ADDED 6 OUNCES FEB 15TH AND NEXT DAY OR 2 STARTED SLIPPING HAD IT FLUSHED 500 WORTH STILL SHOT. THIS WAS 2ND TIME TYRANNY. HAD BEEN SERVICED. NISSAN YOU KNOW IT'S FAULTY RADIATORS I MEAN 124.000 MILES WASN'T NOTHING FOR A NISSAN YEARS AGO I GUESS THAT'S CHANGED. VERY DISCOURAGED NEVER OWN ANOTHER 1.

TAKATA RECALL

ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING WHILE DRIVING. TURNED THE TANK WAS OUT OF GAS WITH FUEL GAUGE SHOWING RIGHT AT QUARTER MARK FULL. THE GAUGE SEEM TO SHOW FULL WHEN FILLED UP BUT FOR THE LAST THREE TIMES IT SHOWS A QUARTER TANK LEFT WHILE I AM ABLE TO PUMP IN OVER 18 GALLONS OF FUEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE ABS AND VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 103,000.

TAKATA RECALL SO YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY US 31 AND IT WAS RAINING I LOST ALL FUNCTIONS OF MY BRAKES WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS THE SCARIEST EXPERIENCE EVER I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO DIE. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND MAKEING A FEW PHONE CALLS I WAS ADVISED TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON THE BRAKE LIGHT WENT OFF AND BRAKE FUNCTIONS STARTED WORKING PROPERLY. REALLY CONSIDERING GETTING RID OF MY TRUCK AFTER THIS INCIDENT. WE COULD HAVE DIED.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,050.

THE FUEL GAUGE READ I HAD A QUARTER TANK OF GAS, BUT I RAN OUT. UPON SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR ISSUES SUCH AS THIS THERE ARE TOO MANY TO LIST HERE. GOOGLE SEARCH FOR "2004 PATHFINDER FUEL LEVEL PROBLEM" THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE DESIGN OF THE SENSOR AND THIS IS KNOWN BY NISSAN. BEING DISABLED AND RUNNING OUT OF GAS IS NOT SAFE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE.

2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FRONT AIRBAG ASSEMBLY RECALL NOTICE. *SMD

DRIVING MY SON'S PATHFINDER FOR THE FIRST TIME TO SEE WHAT HE WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT SHOCKED ME. I WAS GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE, AND MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, WHEN THE PATHFINDER STARTED WOBBLING SO ROUGHLY THAT I PULLED OVER. I WAS SHAKING! MY SON WAS ALSO IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME, HE SAYS IT GETS EVEN WORSE, AND DOES THIS WOBBLE AT ALL SPEEDS. I PULLED BACK ONTO THE HIGHWAY, AND AGAIN STARTED WOBBLING SO SEVERELY AT 50 MILES AN HOUR, I SLOWED DOWN TO 40 AND STILL FELT LIKE I WAS NOT IN CONTROL OF THE STEERING. I TOOK THE PATHFINDER TO THE TIRE DEALERS IN TOWN AND ALSO TO HAVE THE UNDERCARRIAGE LOOKED AT. NO BODY WAS ABLE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION AS TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. EVEN THE NISSAN DEALER HAD NO CLUE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON LINE AND FOUND SIMILAR TALES. THIS IS A FRIGHTENING SITUATION. MY GRANDDAUGHTER IS NOT ALLOWED TO RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. *TR

WHEN DRIVING AT 40 MPH STEERING VIBRATES AND THE VEHICLE REAR END WOBBLES WHEN TRYING TO SLOW DOWN, ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE, THAT WAS VERY NERVE WRECKING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE AND DRIVE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID SPILLED INTO THE RADIATOR AND THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,000.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO DESIGN DEFECT KNOWN TO THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

AFTER A GAS FILL, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE FUEL INDICATOR SHOWED ZERO FUEL EVEN WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL. NISSAN DEALER SAID THE FUEL SENDING UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ESTIMATED REPAIR COST $350! DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT HAS BEEN BAD ON SEVERAL OF THESE VEHICLES. NISSAN ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS BUT WE ARE OUT OF WARRANTY BY MILEAGE (BUT NOT BY VEHICLE AGE) AND HENCE THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE COST. THIS IS A *SAFETY* ISSUE, REGARDLESS OF THE MILEAGE THAT WE THINK NISSAN SHOULD FIX AT THEIR COST. IT'S SIMPLY A DEFECTIVE COMPONENT THAT WAS INSTALLED ON THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES. NISSAN NEEDS TO BE HOLD ACCOUNTABLE! *TR

GOING ABOUT 30MPH, IN TRAFFIC, WITH FAMILY INSIDE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER. IT STARTED TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE. THE ENGINE ALSO STARTED MAKING A LOUD NOISE. DROVE IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING OBVIOUS AND QUOTED A COST OF $250 TO SIMPLY INVESTIGATE FURTHER. WE AGREED. THEY CAME BACK AND SAID THE ENGINE CAMSHAFT AND TIMING CHAIN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ESTIMATED COST $2500! THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY OR HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO A CORE ENGINE COMPONENT. THEY *THINK* SOME MISALIGNMENT OF THE TIMING CHAIN MIGHT HAVE CAUSED IT. WE DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE BUT TO GET THE REPAIRS DONE. THEY ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE COOLANT FOR SOME REASON. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMING CHAIN ISSUES REPORTED THAT HAVE CAUSED CAM/ENGINE FAILURES ON SAME/SIMILAR NISSAN MODELS/ENGINES. THERE IS ALSO A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT BEING PREPARED TO HOLD NISSAN ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE DEFECTS AND REPAIRS. *TR

I HAVE ANTIFREEZE AND TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING INTO EACH OTHER (TRANNY HAVE ANTIFREEZE AND RADIATOR HAVE TRANNY FLUID IN IT ) FLUID IS MILKY AND NOW MY TRANSMISSION IS STARTING TO SLIP. *TR

THE WIPERS STOP WORKING INTERMITTENTLY AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

SHE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO NISSAN DEALER. THE KNOCK WAS STILL THERE. THEY INVESTIGATED AND STATED THE WE NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH WILL FIND NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING ON ALTIMAS, SENTRAS, AND PATHFINDERS BECAUSE THE SCREWS WERE NOT PROPERLY LOCKED AT THE FACTORY, MAKING THIS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEALT WITH BY ISSUING A MANDATORY SERVICE. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY UNDRIVABLE FOR FEAR OF FURTHER DAMAGE, AS WE AWAIT A RESPONSE FROM NISSAN NORTH AMERICA ON WHAT ACTION, IF ANY, THEY WILL DO TO INVESTIGATE. *RT *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A RATTLING WAS HEARD FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT THE SPARE TIRE WAS HANGING FROM THE CHAIN, WHICH WAS CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2004 PATHFINDER WITH 79,000MILES. I WAS DRIVING ON JUNE 6TH WHEN MY ENGINE BEGAN TO PRODUCE A LOUD KNOCK. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED HOME SO I COULD INVESTIGATE THE NOISE. UPON REMOVAL OF THE UPPER INTAKE MANIFOLD I FOUND 1 OF THE 6 POWER VALVES HAD MOVED FROM ITS PROPER LOCATION, AND WAS ON TOP OF ANOTHER VALVE. THE 2 SCREWS MEANT TO HOLD IT IN PLACE WERE MISSING, AND I FOUND THAT 8 OF THE 10 REMAINING SCREWS TO BE LOOSE. I WAS ABLE TO FIND 1 SCREW THAT WAS SITTING DOWN INSIDE THE HEAD, ABOUT TO ENTER THE CYLINDER. I THEN PRECEDED TO REMOVE EACH SCREW, LOCKED IT, AND REINSTALL IT. HOPING THIS SOLVED THE PROBLEM, I REASSEMBLED THE ENGINE, AND STARTED IT. THE KNOCK WAS STILL THERE. SO THIS MEANS THAT THE SCREW I COULDN'T FIND MADE ITS WAY INTO THE CYLINDER AND CAUSED UNKNOWN DAMAGE. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH WILL FIND NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING ON ALTIMAS, SENTRAS, AND PATHFINDERS BECAUSE THE SCREWS WERE NOT PROPERLY LOCKED AT THE FACTORY, MAKING THIS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEALT WITH BY ISSUING A MANDATORY SERVICE, THERE BY NOT WASTING MY TIME AND MONEY ON SOMETHING THAT TAKES LESS THAN AN HOUR TO REMEDY. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY UNDRIVABLE FOR FEAR OF FURTHER DAMAGE, AS I AWAIT A RESPONSE FROM NISSAN NORTH AMERICA ON WHAT ACTION, IF ANY, THEY WILL DO TO INVESTIGATE. *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER WAS STUCK IN "PARK" I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO DEALER. I'M TOLD THE WHOLE SHIFT MECHANISM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ($900). I SEARCHED FOR RECALL ON THIS BUT FOUND NONE. THIS VEHICLE HAS 62,000 MILES, I FEEL SUCH A DEFECT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER. AS IF THIS WEREN'T TROUBLE ENOUGH, IT TOOK THE DEALER TWO DAYS TO GET THE PART AND REPAIR THE VEHICLE, LEAVING ME TO RENT A CAR AT MY EXPENSE. *TR

2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER WITH SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE VEHICLE HAD SMOKE COMING FROM THE TAIL PIPE, LOSING POWER AND WOULDN'T GO OVER 45 MPH. MECHANIC STATED THE VEHICLE WAS 4 QUARTS LOW ON OIL. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED THE OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED ON FEB 2, 2008. AND ON APRIL 3, 2008 THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. THE CONSUMER STATED IT WAS THE DEALERS FAULT THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SHE BELIEVED THEY FAILED TO PUT IN NEW OIL ON THE LAST VISIT.*JB

THE SHIFTER ON MY PATHFINDER WAS STUCK IN PARK, THEY REPLACED THE SHIFTER SOLENOID WHICH NOW THE SHIFTER IS DOING FINE. I FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED SO SOON. I'M NOT SURE IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS BUT THINK THERE SHOULD BE. I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED THAT I WAS HAVING THIS TROUBLE SO SOON. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY DID WITH THE OLD PART. I KNOW I HAVE WAITED A WHILE TO REPORT THIS BUT I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND OUT IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS. PLEASE RESPOND BACK ASAP. THANK YOU. *TR

2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY, NISSAN REFUSES TO REPAIR PROBLEM. *KB THE DEALER REPLACED SEVERAL PARTS WITHIN THE WINDSHIELD WIPER UNIT, HOWEVER, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. NISSAN STATED THEY WERE NOT GOING TO KEEP REPLACING PARTS IF THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING ON A NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS THE WINDSHIELD SUDDENLY CRACKED IN A SPIDER WEB PATTERN, NO HIT WAS HEARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO DETERMINED AN OBJECT IMPACTED THE WINDSHIELD FROM OUTSIDE. THE CONTACT VISITED ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND OPINION WHO DETERMINED THE IMPACT CAME FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT THINKS THE WINDSHIELD WAS DEFECTIVE.

ON JAN. 18, PARKED VEHICLE, UPON STARTING UP,WIPERS DID NOT WORK. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME IN HEAVY RAIN OVER 2 MILES WITH NO WIPERS. 2-3 HOURS LATER, I CHECKED ON THE CONDITION OF THE WIPERS,THEY OPERATED PROPERLY. THE SAME SITUATION OCCURRED 3 DAYS LATER. VEHICLE WAS LEFT AT SERVICE DEPT. ON 1/20 TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. SERVICE DEPT. UNABLE TO RECREATE PROBLEM. CALLED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE. ON 1/20/06, TICKET # 5207119. I FILLED OUT SURVEY AFTER PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. SERVICE DEPT. MANAGER WAS TOLD BY HIS DSM, NOT TO CHANGE PARTS FOR THE SAKE OF CHANGING PARTS. ON 1/31/06 SERV.DEPT. CHANGED WIPER SWITCH UNDER GOOD WILL. WHEN ASKED IF SERVICE MGR. WOULD SEND REPLACED PART TO BE TESTED, HE STATED THAT IF HE REPORTED THE PART UNDER WARRANTY, HE WOULD BE CHARGED IF THE PART WAS NOT BROKEN. ON 5/18, WITH 2 WITNESSES, WIPERS DID NOT GO ON.

SPOKE TO NISSAN CUST SERV ON 6/2/06 AT 4:50 PM. I REQUESTED TO HAVE NISSAN CHANGE PARTS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. ON TUES. 6/6/06 , I SPOKE TO REGIONAL OFFICE, INFORMED ME OF SAME NISSAN POLICY,NOTHING COULD BE DONE UNTIL THE PROBLEM WAS RECREATED AND DIAGNOSED. 6/7/06- CONTACTED ATTORNEY GENERAL, LEMON LAW DIVISION. INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE NOT COVERED UNDER LEMON LAW. I WAS TOLD TO FILE COMPLAINT WITH ATTORNEY GENERAL OFFICE 6/8/06 '' SPOKE TO TECHNICAL OFFICE OF NYDMV,DIRECTED ME TO NHTSA SITE. NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE ANY PARTS UNLESS THEY CAN RECREATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHERE THE WIPERS HAVE STOPPED WORKING SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING.*JB

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES PER HOUR, MY 2004 PATHFINDER STARTED ACCELERATING. THE BRAKES WERE NOT RESPONDING AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS OUT OF CONTROL. THE CAR SUDDENLY TURNED TO THE LEFT ON A 2-WAY STREET. AFTER ABOUT 20 SECONDS OR SO, THE VEHICLE STARTED SLOWING DOWN ON ITS OWN AND THE BRAKES AND STEERING STARTED RESPONDING AGAIN. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER. A FEW DAYS OF DEALER CHECKING, DIAGNOSTICS AND TESTING STILL HAVE NOT SHOWN THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. AN EMAIL TO NISSAN USA WAS SENT AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR A RESPONSE. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR SINCE THE DEALERS SERVICE CANNOT FIND WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT AND THE PROBLEM MAY JUST RE-OCCUR AT ANY TIME. *JB

I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY IN PERFECT WEATHER CONDITIONS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I WAS FAR BACK FROM THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME I THEN REALIZED THAT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME HAD NO TAILLIGHTS AND WAS STOPPED , I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND MY BRAKES SHIMMIED KIND OF LIKE I WAS HYDROPLAINING ON WATER AND THEN I HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE VEHICLE RAN EVEN THOUGH I HIT THEM. THIS CAUSED OVER 7,000 DOLLARS WORTH OF DAMAGE TO MY CAR AND WHIPLASH TO ME. ALSO A POLICE OFFICER SAW THE ACCIDENT AND HE EVEN SAID HE SAW HOW FAR AWAY I WAS AND DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I DID NOT STOP. I AM A PARALLEL AND I HAVE ALREADY FOUND THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NISSAN NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR AND IF THEY ARE NOT I WILL TAKE THEM TO COURT. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING IN TO THIS. MY HUSBAND IS ALSO A US MARINE SERVING IN IRAQ AND WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE HE WANTED ME TO BE SAFE THEREFORE I HOPE NISSAN WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX THESE CARS. *NM

2004 NISSAN ARMADA DEVELOPED PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE EQUIPMENT.***NO ANSWER REQUIRED*** *MR THERE WAS A SHIMMY WHEN BRAKING, THE PASSENGER SEAT WOULD NOT ADJUST AND THE REAR BRAKES WERE NOISY. THE FRONT ROTORS AND PADS WERE REPLACED, THE ROTORS WERE RESURFACED, TURNED, RE-MACHINED AND MACHINED AGAIN. *SC *JB

THE THIRD SET OF FRONT BRAKES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON THE CONSUMER'S 2004 NISSAN TITAN DUE TO SEVERE SHUDDER AND VIBRATION. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 9400 MILES. *NM *SC *JB

WHILE BRAKING AT ANY SPEED THE STEERING WHEEL PULSATED. DEALERSHIP INFORMED/REPAIRED THE WARPED FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. CONSUMER WAS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *AK

WHEELS SHOOK, AND THE BRAKES WERE NOT PERFORMING PROPERLY. BRAKES ROTORS WERE REPLACED ON EACH TIME WHEN VEHICLE WAS SERVICED. *AK

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP COMPLETELY. THIS CAUSED THE DRIVER TO COLLIDED WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HIM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A BODY SHOP FOR INSPECTION. THE CAUSE HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED AT THIS TIME. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *JB

THE TOP OF MY SHOE RUBS AGAINST THE WIRING HARNESS ABOVE THE ACCELLERATOR PEDAL. THIS IS DISCONCERTING BECAUSE IT SOMETIMES (DEPENDING ON THE EXACT POSITION OF THE HEEL OF MY FOOT ON THE FLOOR) REQUIRES EXTRA EFFORT TO REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELLERATOR PEDAL. IT TAKES AN EXTRA FRACTION OF A SECOND TO MOVE MY FOOT TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND I FEEL THIS IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE GONE TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY WILL NOT MOVE THE WIRES. I HAVE ALSO CALLED THE MANUFACTURER'S SERVICE NUMBER AND THEY WILL NOT RECOMMEND ANY CHANGES. I JUST WANT TO MAKE A NOTE THAT MY SHOE SIZE IS NOT PARTICULARLY LARGE (SIZE 10), AND THAT I DRIVE WITH THE HEEL OF MY FOOT ON THE FLOOR (I DON'T LIFT MY FOOT UP TO HIT THE WIRING HARNESS).*AK

WITHIN EVERY 2500 MILES FRONT ROTORS PREMATURELY WORE OUT. BRAKE ROTORS HAD BEEN REPLACED 5 TIMES WITHIN ONE YEAR. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM.*AK

CONSUMER STATED THAT THE BRAKES WERE SOFT. THE FRONT END SHIMMIED WHEN BRAKING. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND NEEDED FRONT PADS. ALSO, THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT A SUB STANDARD BRAKE SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE DEALER OFFERED TO TURN THE ROTORS AND REPLACE THE PADS WITH AN UPGRADE. *AK THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKE SYSTEM ON THE 2004 MODELS WERE TOO SMALL.*JB

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE JERKED AND VIBRATED UNCONTROLLABLY. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION NUMEROUS TIMES, AND MECHANIC COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK

BRAKE ROTORS WERE REPLACED TWICE, AND THE BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED AND TURNED SEVERAL TIMES. HOWEVER, THEY KEPT WEARING OUT. *AK

WHILE BRAKING FOR A RED LIGHT THE CONSUMER DEPRESSED THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL SIMULTANEOUSLY. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.*AK THIS MAY HAVE OCCURRED BECAUSE THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL ARE TOO CLOSE. *NM

WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN THE LOAD IN THE TRUCK SHIFTED AND MADE A HALF INCH DENT INSIDE THE BED OF THE TRUCK. THE CONSUMER NOTICED THAT THE TAIL GATE WOULD NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. THE CROSS MEMBER WHICH SUPPORTS THE FLOOR BOARD HAS ALSO SHIFTED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *NM

RE: NISSAN ARMADA; THE FLAT TIRE ALARM SOUNDED AND AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE THE FLAT TIRE SENSOR LOCATED ON THE VALVE STEM WAS LEAKING AIR PROFUSELY. IT WENT FROM 36 LBS OF AIR TO 20 LBS IN APPROX 1 MINUTE. HAD WE NOT PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY JUSAT BEFORE THE EVENT I FEEL WE WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE.*AK

SPONTANEOUS SHATTERING OF THE REAR HATCH GLASS IN MY 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. *NM

COMPLAINT CONCERNS 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. MY VEHICLE MAKES AN UNBEARABLE FLUTTERING NOISE (LIKE A HELICOPTER SOUND) AT SPEEDS OF 40 MPH +; THE SOUND IS SO LOUD IT HURTS OUR EARS, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF OUR THREE YOUNG CHILDREN. ALSO, THERE ARE MAJOR AIR LEAKS FROM THE FRONT DASH AND SIDE DOORS WHICH THE DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR BUT HAS NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD NOW FOR OVER TWO MONTHS THAT THE WEATHERSTRIPPING NEEDED HAS BEEN ON "BACK ORDER!" MY VEHICLE HAS ALSO DEVELOPED AN UNUSUAL ENGINE NOICE (LIKE SOMETHING LOOSE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT) AFTER APPROXIMATELY FOUR WEEKS OF USE AND DEALER, WHILE ACKNOWLEDGING "ISSUE" CANNOT LOCATE SOURCE OF "ISSUE." THE NOISE PROBLEM IS SO BAD THAT WE CANNOT USE THE VEHICLE FOR HIGHWAY USE! *AK

IN THE FIRST COUPLE DAYS OF BUYING OUR NEW NISSAN ARMADA TO OUR SURPRISE THERE WAS A TEAR IN THE ARM AS WELL AS A WHITE STREAK ON THE CAPTAINS CHAIR JUST BEHIND THE DRIVERS SEAT. AFTER TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW IT HAPPENED WE SAW THAT THE ARM HAD HIT THE CENTER CONSOLE, CAUSING THE TEAR AND STREAK. SHOULDN'T THE ARM AUTOMATICALLY GO UP WHEN THE CHAIR IS RELEASED OR MAYBE THE CENTER CONSOLE A BIT THINNER SO AS NOT TO TEAR A RIP IN THE ARMS OF THE CHAIRS? I CALLED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY OURSELVES TO HAVE THE ARM REPLACED. CALLED THE DEALER AND JUST THIS WEEK (2 MONTHS LATER) THEY HAVE THE PART IN. NOT SURE IF THE DEALER IS GOING TO CHARGE ME OR NOT. I WILL FIGHT IT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE WAY THE CHAIR AND CONSOLE ARE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER.*AK

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER ARMADA. WHILE CLEANING OUT MY VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT ANCHOR BOLT WAS STICKING OUT ABOUT A INCH BEYOND WHERE IT IS SUPPOSED TO.. UPON CLOSER OBSERVATION I NOTICED THAT THE BOLT HAD BEEN DRIVEN IN CROSS-THREADED THEN BACKED OUT AND LEFT THAT WAY. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANY VEHICLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE AND WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT SO YOU COULD BEGIN TRACKING THIS, IN CASE THERE ARE OTHERS OUT THERE. I AM ALSO CURIOUS IF WHEN REPAIRED AT THE DEALER LEVEL, WILL THE FRAME AREA SURROUNDING WHERE THIS BOLT SECURES INTO EVER BE AS STRONG AS IS SHOULD? THANKS.*AK

2004 NISSAN ARMADA: SUBJECT:AUTOMATIC WINDOWS. BROUGHT TO THE MARKET YEARS AGO, THEY HAVE UNTIL NOW WORKED IN AUTOMATIC MODE FOR THE "ROLL DOWN" OF WINDOWS (MAINLY DRIVERS WINDOW). THE NEW ARMADA ALLOWS FOR "ROLL-UP" OF WINDOWS IN THE AUTOMATIC MODE ALSO. AS I WORK IN THE AUTO INDUSTRY I CAN RECALL THIS OPTION COMING TO MARKET AND DISCUSSING THE DANGERS TO SMALL CHILDREN WHO WOULD ACCIDENTALLY ROLL UP A WINDOW ON LIMBS AND NECK. IT SHOULD BE SELF EVIDENT. NISSAN NEEDS TO DISCONTINUE IF NOT RECALL. THERE CAN ONLY BE INJURIES, DEATH AND LAWSUITS GAINED FROM THIS VEHICLE OPTION. *JB

WITHOUT ANY WARNING, BOTH SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED INADVERTENTLY. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *JB

FLUTTERING WIND NOISE WHEN DRIVING. THE NOISE STARTS OUT AT 40 MPH AND GRADUALLY INCREASES TO A HIGHER DECIBEL RANGE WHEN SPEEDING UP TO 70 MPH. ALL THE WINDOWS ARE WIND UP BUT THIS STRANGE WIND NOISE CANNOT BE LOCATED. THE NOISE IS FLAPPING SO LOUD AT 70 MPH THAT IT HURTS MY FAMILY'S EARS. DEALER STATED IT'S AN ENGINEERING ISSUE AND IT CANNOT BE REPAIRED. I'VE CONTACTED CONSUMER AFFAIRS BUT THEY'RE SAYING THERE' S NO OTHER REPORT BESIDE MYSELF SO THEY'RE NOT TAKING ACTION. I NEED HELP AT THIS POINT- WHERE DO I GO OR WHAT DO I DO??? *JB
