2007 Nissan Pathfinder 4-DR

The vehicle jolted without warning And would not move. The transmission cooling lines ruptured in the radiator causing a complete Destruction,pink fluid oozed out of the Radiator. This was due to a Nissan defect that Was NEVER informed us of this problem that could have caused our deaths and the safety of others on the roads.

IT'S TURN ON EMERGENCY LIGHT

TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACE TWICE.

I HAVE 2007 PATHFINDER THE AIR BAG LIGHTS STAYS ON WONT GO OFF THE GAS TANK NEVER GOES TO FUEL IT STAY ON EMPTY, AND WHEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD THE ROAD THE CAR DIES AND THE TIRES SENSERWONT GO OFF TRIED PUT AIR IN THE TIRES STILL WONT GO OFF,I CAN HANDLE THE TIRED SENSOR NOT GOING OFF BUT WHEN THE CAR AIR BAG LIGHTS NOT WORKING AND THE GAS TANK NOT WORK AND THE THING KEEPS TRY TO DIE ON ME DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD AM NEEDED HELP, IT TRY TO DIE IN TOWN RUN DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A TURN IT DIES AND THOUGHT I WAS OUT OF GAS BUT WHEN YOU FILL THE GAS TANK WHERE IT WONT TAKE NO MORE GAS YOU NO SOMETHING NOT RIGHT WHEN IT STILL WANTS TO DIE THIS 2007 PATHFINDER AS BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR IT DID NOT START DIE UP INTILL ABOUT 7 MONTHS AGO,

IS TURN ON LIGHT EMERGENCY TO AIRBAGS .THE CAR IT IS IN HOME

TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, WATER ON TRANSMISSION FLUID

THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP. SLOW MOVING . THEN VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. ENGINE CODE U1000. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. THEY REPLACED THE STARTED. I PAID THEM 400.00. I GOT IN THE VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT START. THE MECHANIC REPLACED A 20A FUSE IN THE FUSE BOX FOR THE ECU. DROVE VEHICLE HOME, THEN WOULD NOT START AGAIN. RESEARCHED ONLINE STUMBLED ONTO ARTICLE ABOUT DEFECTIVE NISSAN TRANSMISSION BEING A TICKING TIME BOMB. CHECK TRANSMISSION FLUID, STRAWBERRY MILK SHAKE. RADIATOR FLUID DARK. THANKS NISSAN , I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED, FOUND OUT THE ENGINE WAS BAD, SPENT 8000.00 REPLACING THE ENGINE AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR ARE BAD. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN. WHY WASN'T THERE A RECALL FOR THE RADIATOR ???

TRANSMISSION COOLER BUSTED CAUSING TRANSMISSION FLUID TO MIX WITH COOLANT

JUST PURCHASED MY 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER LE ( 4X4) WITH 55,000 MILES ON IT ( OUR FAULT SIGN UNSEEN) FROM OUT OF STATE ( FLORIDA DEALERSHIP) I BELIEVE IT WAS ORIGINALLY A VA CAR. WE HAD IT HAULED UP VIA TRUCK TO WISCONSIN. NOW MIND YOU WE HAVE PAID FOR THIS CAR ALREADY SO WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE IT. I MOVED IT OUT OF THE WAY UNTIL I COULD GET IT LICENSED, MY HUSBAND THEN STARTED IT WHEN HE GOT HOME AND HE WENT AROUND THE BLOCK AND THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. THE GAS GAUGE SHOWED FULL HOWEVER WHEN I PULLED IT OUT OF THE WAYAFTER DRIVING AROUND A COUPLE OF BLOCKS IT WENT TO E AND THE LIGHT CAME ON. MY HUSBAND WENT TO FILL IT UP THINKING THAT MAY HELP, BUT IT WOULD NOT ALLOW HIM TO FILL IT, IT WOULD PUT SOME IN, THEN STOP, HE DID THAT 5 TIMES AND GAVE UP. WE CHECKED ONLINE FOR ANY RECALLS AND FOUND THERE WERE SEVERAL ONE OF THEM BEING A FUEL SENSOR ISSUE. WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WE GOT IT FROM AND THEY SAID ANY RECALLS HAVE SINCE BEEN EXPIRED. BEING WE ARE THE 2ND OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE WE DON'T KNOW IF THE FIRST OWNER DID ANYTHING IF THERE WERE RECALLS. HOW CAN WE FIND THIS OUT? IF THERE IS A WAY TO SHOW THIS, AND THEY DID NOTHING ABOUT IT, IS THERE A WAY TO GET THESE FIXED UNDER WARRANTY? ALSO, IS THERE A WAY TO SEE IF THE CODE WE ARE GETTING HAS BEEN IN THE CARS MEMORY FOR SOME TIME ? MOST IMPORTANTLY IS IF THE RECALLS WERE NEVER TAKE CARE OF, IS THERE AN EXCEPTION THAT CAN BE MADE TO FIX THE RECALLS THAT WERE PUT OUT THERE FOR THIS MODEL? ANY ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREAT! THE DATE BELOW ON WHEN THIS HAPPENED IS BASED ON WHEN WE FIRST GOT IT HOW LONG ITS BEEN GOING ON WE DON'T KNOW. AGAIN IF THERE IS A WAY TO SEE ITS HISTORY THROUGH THE COMPUTER WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT FINDING THAT OUT.

VEHICLE SHAKES AFTER REACHING 40MPH OR HIGHER.

WHILE DRIVING TODAY THE RPMS WENT CRAZY AND I ALMOST WRECKED . THE CAR WOULD SPUDDER AND THEN REV UP. ALSO, AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN TRYING TO GO THE CAR SEEMS TO BARELY MOVE AND ACTS LIKE IT'S GOING TO DIE. NOW WE HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE RADIATOR,HOSES, AND ALL FLUIDS IN TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR.

I HAD JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE OFF OF EBAY FROM INDIVIDUALS IN NEW BRAUNFELS , TEXAS DROVE IT BACK TO AMARILLO , TEXAS. I WENT TO DROP A LOAD OF ITEMS OFF AT AMARILLO'S GIVING CLOSET FOR PEOPLE IN NEED. IT RAN PERFECT ON THE WAY OVER THERE. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF WHILE I WAS UNLOADING EVERYTHING. WHEN I WENT TO START MY VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT START ALTHOUGH THE LIGHTS AND THINGS WOULD COME ON. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TOWED TO A SHOP AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS BEING CAUSED BY THE VEHICLE CONTROL. NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS MESSED UP ACTS IF THERE IS NO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR TAKING OFF IN 3RD GEAR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. SINCE THEN MY HUSBAND WAS PINNED UNDER A SEMINAR TRAILER HE WAS WORKING ON AND LOST HIS LEG. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP ME. I WAS JUST INFORMED OF A PROBLEM WITH NISSAN AND THIS.

THE VEHICLE DAMAGE THE PUMP FUEL DURING A PERIOD OF 9 MONTHS IT WAS CHANGED 4 TIMES.

I WAS DRIVING AND SUDDENLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I DROVE HOME AND THE NEXT WEEK I WENT TO REPLACE MY BRAKES AND ASK THE WORKSHOP TO DO A SCAN TO LET ME KNOW WHY THE LIGHT IS ON, THEY DID AND 2 CODES CAME UP WHICH THE SHOP SAID THEY DID NOT SEE BEFORE SO THEY CLEARED THE SYSTEM AND SAID IF IT COMES ON AGAIN TO TAKE IT BACK SO THEY CAN FULLY INVESTIGATE. I WENT ON 9/28 TO ANOTHER WORKSHOP THEY DID A SCAN AND THE CODE P1772 CAME ON AFTER INSPECTING THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME THE RADIATOR CAP WITH SOME THICK GOOEY STUFF TELLING ME THE RADIATOR IS BAD AND THE COOLANT IS MIXING WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID AND VICE VERSA. BEFORE THIS THE CAR WOULD RUN AND WHEN I AT A STOP SIGN AND TRY TO MOVE IT WOULD REV TO 4-5 STALLS AND THEN MOVE, THEY ARE ALSO TIMES OF SUDDEN JERK AND ACCELERATION. THEY HAVE ALSO BEEN TWICE WHEN I TRIED TO REVERSE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE, I HAD TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE THEN RESTART BEFORE I COULD REVERSE.. DEFECTIVE RADIATOR CRACKS LEADING TO COOLANT MIXING WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID, NOW NEED TO REPLACE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION

COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUIDS ARE MIXING, LOSS OF TRANSMISSION POWER

2007 PATHFINDER WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A CITY STREET AND STALLED WHILE IN MOTION. WAS ABLE TO STEER AWAY FROM TRAFFIC. STEERING WAS HARD TO MANEUVER. AFTER REPEATED TIMES OF CRANKING IT WOULD NOT START.. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO OWNERS RESIDENCE. WHEN BEING DROPPED OFF OWNER STARTED VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE IT INTO DRIVEWAY. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OF ANY SORT WAS LIT. AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AROUND THE BLOCK AND STALLED AGAIN. WAITED FOR ABOUT 25 MINUTES TO COOL OFF AND ENGINE TURNED ON AGAIN BUT STALLED . AFTER A COUPLE OF REPEATED TRYS WAS ABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE BACK INTO DRIVEWAY. AGAIN NO CODES LIT.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH MY KIDS WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO OVERHEAT AND WHEN I PULLED OVER THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SMOKE AND SHUT DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO MY HOUSE. I HAD A FAMILY MECHANIC LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THE RADIATOR CRACKED. I ORDERED A RADIATOR AND IT WAS PUT IT. THEN FOUND OUT THAT WATER HAD GOTTEN INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. WENT AND BOUGHT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID J SPECIFICALLY FOR NISSAN AND WAS GOING TO FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND ADD MORE IT WAS THEN THAT THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AND WHITE SMOKE WAS COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST. WHERE I WAS TOLD THE HEAD GASKET IS CRACKED. I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS CAR AND HAVE NO VEHICLE TO DRIVE TO WORK OR SCHOOL.

OUR TRANSMISSION STARTED SHUTTERING IN 2018. TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. THERE WAS NO MILKY FLUID SO WE SIMPLY REPLACED TRANSMISSION WITH A USED TRANNY. 6 MONTHS LATER 2ND TRANNY FAILED WITH ONLY 1ST & 2ND WORKING. WE TOOK BOTH TRANSMISSIONS TO A SPECIALIST. HE EXPLAINED THAT THE CURRENT ANTIFREEZE DOES NOT LEAVE MILKY FLUID AND BOTH TRANSMISSIONS WERE CONTAMINATED. THIS MEANS THAT THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE FAILURE OF BOTH. HE TOLD US THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE PATHFINDER.

AIRBAG - MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. I SAW THAT THERE IS A RECALL. HOWEVER, THE NISSAN DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL. SEATBELTS - I HAVE TO INSERT INTO THE FASTENER SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE CLICKING IN PLACE. OTHER IS MY MAIN HORN. DOES NOT WORK AND HAS NOT WORKED FOR OVER A YEAR.

SEATBELTS - I HAVE TO INSERT INTO THE FASTENER SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE CLICKING IN PLACE. EVERYDAY SINCE THE 23RD OF MAY.

OTHER, ELECTRICAL WASN'T SURE WHAT IT FELL UNDER: MAIN HORN. DOES NOT WORK AND HAS NOT WORKED FOR OVER A YEAR.

CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT SET

RADIATOR CRACKED, LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSING TRANSMISSION FAILURE

SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION.

RADIATOR WAS DEFECTIVE (ORIGINAL) AND LEAKED COOLANT INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSING BREAKDOWN OF TRANSMISSION, NEUTRAL/PARK SENSOR, COMPUTER. NEED TO REPLACE RADIATOR, REBUILD TRANSMISSION AND REPLACE SENOR. $5K JOB. NEVER WAS NOTIFIED OF DEFECTIVE RADIATOR PROBLEM AND THUS DID NOT KNOW THAT THIS WOULD BE AN ISSUE. NISSAN WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

RADIATOR HAS CRACKED AND LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION

2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER WITH 112,000 MILES WAS DRIVEN TO FRED ANDERSON NISSAN IN ASHEVILLE FOR SERVICE REGARDING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING IMPROPERLY. AFTER WAITING 4 HOURS, I WAS DELIVERED A QUOTE FOR OVER $7,000 REGARDING REPLACEMENT OF MY RADIATOR, TRANSMISSION, THERMOSTAT, AND AIRBAG SYSTEM. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 6 MONTHS AGO WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM FLOW HONDA OF WINSTON-SALEM.

THE TRANSMISSION WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE COOLING SYSTEM.

COOLANT CONTAMINATION, GETTING MIX WITH TRANSMISSION OIL

MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WONT GO OFF. MY VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN A WRECK IN THE AIRBAGS HAVE NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED. MY FUEL PUMP SENSOR HAS ALREADY STOPPED WORKING AND HAS CAUSED PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS NEEDLE AND THE DIGITAL MILES TILL EMPTY. ALSO THE LOCK FOR THE HATCH WINDOW DOES NOT WORK MY HATCH WINDOW IS ALWAYS OPEN.

THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING ROUGH. AT 65 MPH ON I25 THE TRANNY CLANKED, AND DROPPED TO FIRST GEAR. I HAD TO PULL OVER, RESTART. IT DID IT AGAIN, BUT HAD A BURNING SMELL. IT THREW THE CODE P1774. A SINGLE DEALERSHIP CARE FOR ALL MAINTENANCE WORK, ON TIME FOR 10 YEARS, DID ALL RECALL TYPE WORK. FIX QUOTES ARE COMING BACK BETWEEN $3500-$4500, WHICH AFTER BUYING A HOUSE AND A SURPRISE PREGNANCY I CAN'T AFFORD PUTTING MY LIVELIHOOD AT RISK

NISSAN FAILED RADIATOR THAT DAMAGED TRANSMISSION. TOOK MY CAR IN AFTER SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AND MECHANIC IDENTIFIED THE CODE AND THE PROBLEM BEING THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY DAMAGED. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH, IT IS A FAULTY RADIATOR THAT LEAKED AND ALLOWED WATER TO MIX INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING DAMAGE. I SEARCHED AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT NISSAN HAS FAILED TO ADDRESS OTHER THAN FORCIBLY THROUGH A CLASS ACTION SUIT THAT IS CLOSED. THE RESPONSIBILITY OF NISSAN FOR NOT CORRECTING THIS DEFECT AND ALLOWING THESE COSTS TO BE ON THE SHOULDER'S OF THE CONSUMER IS NEGLIGENT.

COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID MIXING TOGETHER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HERITAGE NISSAN (1500 VETERANS MEMORIAL HWY NE, ROME, GA 30161) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE COOLANT AND RADIATOR THAT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE NOT TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED AND THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A CALL BACK. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,859. *TT *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE CONTACT CALLED BILL COLE AUTO MALL ASHLAND AT 606-29-2288 (2701 WINCHESTER AVE, ASHLAND, KY 41101) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 111,000.

THE VEHICLE STARTED VIBRATING VERY ROUGHLY AND LOUDLY DURING ACCELERATION, THEN SUDDENLY THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IT ON A VERY BUSY FRONTAGE ROAD TO THE HIGHWAY. SHE WAS ABLE TO STEER IT ONTO THE SHOULDER BEFORE IT STOPPED COASTING; AND SEVERAL PEOPLE STOPPED TO HELP HER PUSH IT INTO SAFETY IN A NEARBY PARKING LOT. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP, THE MECHANIC INFORMED US THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID HAD LEAKED THROUGH CRACKS INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, CAUSING IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. UPON RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, WE DISCOVERED THIS WAS A KNOWN AND ACKNOWEDGED PROBLEM WITH 2005-2010 NISSAN PATHFINDERS, BUT NEITHER A RECALL NOR A WARNING WAS EVER ISSUED. WE ARE NOW BEYOND THE WARRANTY COVERAGE IN TIME AND IN MILEAGE, SO NISSAN WILL NOT COVER ANY OF THE EXPENSES TO REPAIR.

WHEN THE CAR ENGINE IS ON, THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND IT DOESN'T GO OFF, EVEN WHILE DRIVING. THE OWNER MANUAL STATES NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WHILE IT'S IN THIS STATE. TO HAVE IT CHECKED BY A NISSAN DEALER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THIS VEHICLE WILL HAVE TO BE TOWED AS I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION.

FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR BECOMES ERRATIC, FUEL GAUGE SAYS FULL, SOMETIMES EMPTY, SOMETIMES HALF AND ENGINE MAINTENANCE LIGHTS UP, FUEL ERROR LIGHTS UP ON AND OFF. DEALER HAS TO REPLACE FUEL LEVEL SENDER UNIT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND THE VEHICLE SHIFTED GEARS WITH FORCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HOWELL MOTORS BUICK, GMC, NISSAN (1158 HIGHWAY 51-98 SUMMIT, MS 39666, (PHONE) 601-276-7711) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED DUE TO A RADIATOR LEAK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RADIATOR WAS REPLACED BY THE SAME DEALER IN 2015; HOWEVER, THE RADIATOR REPLACEMENT DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID ARE MIXED CAUSING THE CAR TO NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. I WAS NOT TOLD OF THIS ISSUE WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2010 FROM THE NISSAN DEALER - EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A KNOWN CONDITION. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING, SO IT'LL BE MY 3RD TRANSMISSION. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, THE CAR HAD 70K MILES. NOW IT HAS 115,000. SO THE 2ND TRANSMISSION LASTED ABOUT 45K MILES. NISSAN WANTS ME TO PAY $3000 OF THE $5,850 ESTIMATE. IF I KNEW THIS CAR WAS GOING TO BE THIS MUCH TROUBLE, I WOULDN'T HAVE PURCHASED IT. I REALLY THINK NISSAN SHOULD BE DOING A BETTER JOB OWNING UP TO THIS ISSUE AND COVERING THE EXPENSES FOR THEIR POOR QUALITY.

TAKATA RECALL . WE WERE ON OUR WAY BACK HOME WITH OUR CHILDREN AND A THE PATHFINDER MADE IT MADE A LOUD NOISE SO WE PULLED OVER OFF THE HIGHWAY AND THE PATHFINDER WOULDN'T START. WE HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO TOW US HOME. WE WAITED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR 3 HOURS WITH A 10 YEAR OLD AND A 3 MONTH OLD. WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED AND AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THE 2007 PATHFINDER APPEARS TO HAVE A WIDESPREAD DEFECT WHERE COOLANT LEAKS INTO THE TRANSMISSION, CAUSING TRANSMISSION FAILURE AROUND 100,000 MILES. REPAIR COSTS ARE TYPICALLY UPWARDS OF $4,500.

IN 2007, I PURCHASED A NEW NISSAN PATHFINDER, UNAWARE OF ANY DEFECTS. IN 2011, I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY TRUCK NOT PRODUCING HEAT WHILE IT WAS IDLE. NISSAN STATED THAT THE COOLANT LOOKED DARK AND ADVISED ME THAT THEIR WAS AIR IN THE LINE. ONCE AGAIN, I'M HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE HEAT AND NOW I'M BEING TOLD THE TRANSMISSION AND COOLANT FLUIDS ARE INTERMIXED, AND THAT IT WOULD COST BETWEEN $7 AND 8 THOUSAND DOLLARS BECAUSE I NEED TO REPLACE BOTH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR. WHEN I TOOK MY TRUCK TO NISSAN IN 2011, AND THEY KNEW THE COOLANT WAS DARK, I SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE DEFECT WITH THE RADIATOR ASSEMBLY BECAUSE MY ISSUES MOST LIKELY HAD ALREADY STARTED, AND NOW, IT'S GOTTEN WORSE. I WAS NEVER ADVISED OF THIS PROBLEM UNTIL NOW.

I BOUGHT MY 07 PATHFINDER IN JULY AND THE DEALERSHIP HAD DONE REPAIR ON THE RADIATOR AT THEIR EXPENSE, AND REPLACED THE COOLANT AND TRANNY FLUIDS AND STATED THERE WAS NO CROSS CONTAMINATION. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE STOPPED SHIFTING PROPERLY AND WE COULDN'T TELL IF IT WAS THE TRANNY, ABS, OR 4WD GETTING CAUGHT. AS OF YESTERDAY THE TRANNY WOULDN'T CHANGE GEARS. RESTARTING THE CAR HELPED. BUT SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALL THERE IS NO HISTORY OF ANY OTHER WORK. ALL MAINTENANCE WAS KEPT UP WITH THE SAME DEALERSHIP FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE VEHICLES LIFE. AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT A STOP, AND MOVED TO ACCELERATE IT WOULDN'T GO INTO GEAR/DRIVE THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WOULD ?CATCH? AND WOULD LAUNCH.

MY HUSBAND BROUGHT TO NISSAN DEALER TO CHECK THE WHY THE HEATER IS NOT WORKING AND HE WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM ON THE TRANSMISSION AS WELL AS THE RADIATOR NEED TO REPLACED DUE TO A LEAK NO WARNING .I CHECK CONSUMER COMPLAIN THE SAME PROBLEM WE HAVE NOW WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO IS THERE ANY SOLUTION FOR ALL THE COMPLAINS FROM THE CONSUMER

OVERDRIVE IN TRANSMISSION MAKES CAR DOWNSHIFT OR UP SHIFT CAUSING MAJOR ISSUES WHILE DRIVING! LOSS OF CONTROL, ACCIDENTS.... BLOWN TRANSMISSION AT THIS POINT

VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT 200,000 MILES. WITHOUT NOTICE AND UNDER USUAL CHECKS AND TUNE-UPS THE RADIATOR FAILED CAUSING THE ENGINE COOLANT TO MIX WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. NOW, SUBSEQUENTLY THE TRANSMISSION HAS COOLANT MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID. NISSAN HAS TAKEN NO OWNERSHIP OF THE DEFECT EXCEPT TO RECOMMEND REPLACING THE RADIATOR AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. MY VEHICLE IS NOW IN THE SHOP AWAITING A $3,500.00 TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL TO SEE WHAT IS SALVAGEABLE.

TRANSMISSION ISSUE

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE TEMPERATURE GAUGE PEGGED OUT AT THE HIGH SIDE AND THERE WAS A BURNING METAL SMELL. I WAS TOLD BY TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS THAT THE RADIATOR FAILED AND LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE IS BEYOND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT NISSAN GAVE AND THEY NEVER CONTACTED ME TO LET ME KNOW THAT THERE EVEN WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY.

I BOUGHT A VEHICAL HAS BAD TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS LIGHTS ALWAYS ON I NEVER KNOW IF TIRES ARE REALLYHAVING AN ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT GEARS, THE CONTACT HEARD A RATTLING NOISE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SHOP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AFTER RADIATOR FLUID MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. WE BECAME FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WHEN MY DAUGHTER COULD NOT START THE CAR. SHE WAS AT A PARK WITH HER TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AND 50 MILES FROM HOME. IT WAS VERY DISTRESSING. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WILL CHARGE OVER $4,000 PLUS TAXES FOR THE REPAIRS. MOST OF THIS EXPENSE COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF WE HAD BEEN INFORMED ABOUT THE DEFECT AT AN EARLIER TIME. ## VIN PASSED ## NISSAN PATHFINDER 2007 ##

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE GEAR DID NOT SWITCH TO A HIGHER GEAR. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED THE RADIATOR, AND ALSO FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE MONTHS LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (NORTH PLAINFIELD NISSAN, 545 US 22, NORTH PLAINFIELD, NJ 07060) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD BE TRADED IN OR REPAIRED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 89,000. UPDATED 10/05/17*LJ *TR

I HAD NOTICED FLUID LEAKING FROM UNDER THE FRONT /RIGHT PORTION OF MY VEHICLE AFTER I PARKED. I OPENED THE HOOD AND THE RESERVE CAP TO THE RADIATOR HAD COME LOOSE. AFTER LETTING MY VEHICLE COOL, I INSPECTED BOTH THE RESERVE TANK AND RADIATOR AND NOTICED THE FLUID WAS NOW A MILKY/FROTHY SUBSTANCE. AFTER SOME DETECTIVE WORK, I LEARNED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH PATHFINDERS FROM 2005- THROUGH 2010 THAT NISSAN HAS IGNORED TO FIX. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER IN THE RADIATOR ASSEMBLY "FAILS" CAUSING CONTAMINATION TO THE INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS ,AND DAMAGE TO THE INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COMPUTER. THERE ARE NO WARNING SIGNS UP TO OR JUST PRIOR TO THE FAILURES. AFTER CONTACTING NISSAN AND RECEIVING A DENIAL TO FIX OUR TRUCK UNDER A WARRANTY, I AM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE WITH SEVERAL "THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS" IN REPAIRS ALL DUE TO NISSAN IGNORING A KNOWN DEFECT AND NOT ISSUING A RECALL ON ALL VEHICLES IN THE "KNOWN" YEAR BRACKET WITH THESE ISSUES. I'M SURE NOTHING WILL BE DONE REGARDING THIS ISSUE DUE TO THERE NOT BEING A MAJOR LOSS OF LIVES INVOLVED, I.E. TAKATA AIRBAGS,BUT I FIND IT IS MY DUTY TO ADD MY NAME TO AN ALREADY HEFTY LIST OF OTHER NISSAN PATHFINDER OWNERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATED, IT EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FLUID HAD MIXED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000. UPDATED 10/18/17*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED MALFUNCTIONING AIRBAGS. *TR

AT AROUND 91000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SPORADICALLY STAYING IN 2ND GEAR AND WOULD JERK AT TIMES WHEN SHIFTING .FINALLY THE TRANSMISSION QUIT SHIFTING AT ALL OUT OF 2ND GEAR. AFTER INVESTIGATION WE FOUND COOLANT HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. WHICH CAUSED A CATASTROPHIC BREAKDOWN.

TRANSMISSION ISSUES LIKE EVERY OTHER NISSAN PATHFINDER OWNER HAS REPORTED.. SAME ISSUE, RADIATOR LEAKS INTO TRANSMISSION WITH NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER. HOW IN THE WORLD WAS THIS NOT A RECALL FROM NISSAN & THE NHTSA.. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD AND FORTUNATELY IN OUR SITUATION WE BARELY MADE IT TO OUR DESTINATION BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED... $ 6K LATER OUT OF POCKET WITH NISSAN REFUSING TO RECOGNIZE ANY TRANSMISSION OR RADIATOR ISSUES OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY.

CAR CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY,IT WOULTD NOT START

WE PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER FROM CARMAX IN POMPANO BEACH FL IN 2012, DURING THAT TIME THE CAR HAD 55,000 MILES ON IT. WE ASK FOR THE HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THAT EVERYTHING WAS GOOD WITH NO ISSUES, HOWEVER A FEW YEARS LATER I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR BECAME INOPERABLE WITH MY 3 CHILDREN IN THE CAR WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC HE EXPRESSED TO ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND THAT THERE WAS EVEN A LAWSUIT, BUT THE COMPANY IS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING. WHEN I RESEARCHED THIS INFORMATION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THESE PARTICULAR VEHICLES HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANT ON THEM UP TO 100,000 MILE FOR A FAULTY RADIATOR THAT LEAKS INTO THE TRANSMISSION ULTIMATELY DESTROYING THE TRANSMISSION WHICH WAS THE CASE WITH US. WE WERE OUT OF A CAR FOR 2 MONTHS IN A RENTAL, MAXED OUT THE CREDIT CARD UP TO 1,600 WITH A 4,000 DOLLAR BILL TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION. THIS WAS A TREMENDOUS FINANCIAL HARDSHIP ON THE FAMILY. WHEN I WENT TO CARMAX AND ASKED THEM WHY THEY DID NOT DISCLOSE TO US THAT THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, THEY HAD NO REAL ANSWER FOR ME AND STATED THAT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS OVER 100,000 MILES THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. I FEEL THAT CARMAX WITHHELD INFORMATION ON THIS CAR AND ACCORDING TO THE STATE LAW IT IS REQUIRED THAT THEY INFORM CONSUMERS OF MANUFACTURE WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLES. SINCE THAT TIME THE CAR HAS HAD ADDITIONAL BREAKDOWN AND WE CAN NO LONGER PAY FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY.E TRAPPED IN A VEHICLE THAT WAS A LEMON FORM THE BEGINNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED INCORRECT FUEL LEVEL READINGS. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT WITH A QUARTER TANK OF FUEL IN THE TANK, THE GAUGE DISPLAYED THAT THE TANK WAS EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL LEVELER SENDING UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

TRANSMISSION FAILED IN FEBRUARY 2017 FROM ANTIFREEZE MIXING WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. I DID NOT KNOW THIS HAD BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THE 2005-2010 MODELS UNTIL I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AFTER IT OCCURRED.

TRANSMISSION OF MY NISSAN PATHFINDER 2007 FAILED. THE RADIATOR SPILLED THE COOLING LIQUID INTO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH THEN PROCEEDED TO CAUSE IRREPAIRABLE DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION REPLACED WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION

RADIATOR OF MY NISSAN PATHFINDER 2007 SE FAILED. THE RADIATOR RUSTED/ROTTED AWAY AND SPILLED RADIATOR FLUID INTO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH THEN CAUSED SERIOUS PROBLEMS TO THE TRANSMISSION AND NEEDING BOTH REPLACED WITH NEW HOSES, CLAMPS ETC.

THE REAR LIFT GATE HINGE (DRIVERS SIDE) COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE (METAL) THE REAR LIFT GATE GLASS WENT UPWARDS WHILE DRIVING. IT IS VERY UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING FOR THE GLASS ITSELF TO GO UPWARDS, TRYING TO COME OFF.

LOST MOTIVE POWER LOTS OF SHUDDERING AND HARD SHIFTING.

TRANSMISSION FLUID IS LEAKING INTO COOLANT.

I STARTED HAVING THE PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER ON APRIL 6, 2017 WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. IT WAS SHUDDERING AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE WHEN I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR OR PUT IT IN REVERSE. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS BEFORE. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC 45 MIN. AWAY. LATER THAT DAY I LEARNED THAT THE RADIATOR HAD BROKEN AND THE WATER AND GONE INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND DESTROYED THE TRANSMISSION. SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD THAT SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR NISSAN SO I LOOKED ONLINE AND LO AND BEHOLD...THIS WAS A BIG ISSUE WITH NISSAN. THE NISSAN DEALER REFERRED ME TO CONSUMER AFFAIRS FOR NISSAN. THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED FROM MY REPAIR PERSON DOWN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO BE EVALUATED. CONSUMER AFFAIRS FOR NISSAN AGREED TO HAVE ME PAY $3,000 COPAY AND THEY WOULD PAY THE REST EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS 2 WEEKS PAST THE WARRANTY DATE AND IT WAS 13,000 MILES OVER. I, AS A CONSUMER, WAS NEVER NOTIFIED THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY CAR. IF I HAD, I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE REPLACED THE RADIATOR AT $800 INSTEAD OF THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FOR $5700. I AM STILL OUT $3,000 WHICH IS A HUGE AMOUNT AND TWO TOWS FOR MY VEHICLE.

THE TRANSMISSION COOLER LEAKED COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF 40-45 MPH

MY FUEL TANK IS WARPED SO THE FUEL FLOAT SENSOR GETS STUCK MOSTLY ON EMPTY SO I CANT TELL HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE. EVEN AFTER I FILL THE FUEL TANK IT STILL TELLS ME I AM EMPTY. OCASIONALLY IF I HIT A BUMP AFTER FILLLING IT WILL SHOW THE CORRECT AMMOUNT OF FUEL. I AM AFRAID I WILL RUN OUT OF GAS, STALL AND GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE YEAR BEFORE MINE AND AFTER MINE WAS ALREADY RECALLED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM.

AT 80000 MILES TIMING CHAIN HAD TO BE REPLACED $2100.00 REPAIR THAT NISSAN WAS AWARE OF BEING A COMMON DEFECT . MY EXTENDED WARRANTEE COMPANY DID NOT COVER BECAUSE THEY SAID IT WAS A PRE - EXISTING PROBLEM. AT 82000 MILES RADIATOR TRANSMISSION COOLER LEAKED ANTIFREEZE INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSING FAILURE TO BOTH. ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT NISSAN WAS AWARE OF AND WOULD NOT PAY FOR A REPAIR FOR OVER $6000 BECAUSE THEY HAD NO RECALL

RADIATOR FAILURE WITH THE TRANSMISSION COOLER, CAUSING THE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION. UNIT WAS IN MOTION WHEN FAILURE OCCURRED. WHEN VEHICLE WAS SHUT DOWN IT WOULD NOT LONGER START.

I HAVE HAD ALL THE COMPUTER REPLACED IN THIS VEHICLE AND NOW I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION WHERE TRANSMISSIONS FLUID IS IN MY RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION IS STUCK IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE LOW.

LIKE SO MANY OTHERS THAT I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT ... THESE RADAITOR TANKS ARE HORRIBLE THEY CRACK AND SOMEHOW ARE LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING FURTHER ISSUES... NOW I AM UPWARDS OF 1000 DOLLARS IN REPAIR COST.... IT CAUSES THE 10AMP AT ECU FUSE TO BLOW EVERYTIME THE CAR IS STARTED

NOW ON OUR 2ND RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION ISSUE WITH OUR NISSAN PATHFINDER, THE ORIGINAL REPAIR WAS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT NOW EXPERIENCING SAME ISSUES AGAIN. WITH BOTH INSTANCES THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN WHEN ISSUES OCCURRED. FORTUNATELY, THE LOCATION TO THE REPAIR SHOP IS CLOSE. OUR PATHFINDER IS CURRENTLY IN A REPAIR SHOP UNDER GOING DIAGNOSTICS.

DEALERSHIP REPORTED TIMING SYSTEM IS FAULTY, CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT HAS BEEN FILED IN CALIFORNIA AND WASHINGTON. FUEL GAUGE WILL NOT READ CORRECTLY AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL DOES NOT INCLUDE MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE HOWEVER ALL PROBLEMS AND YEAR/MAKE MATCH RECALLED VEHICLES.

I PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. THE VEHICLE HAS 139,000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEGUN SLIPPING, AND I TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION REPAIR PLACE, AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE AT LEAST $3500 MINIMUM. THEY SAID COOLANT FROM THE RADIATOR HAS LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION DESTROYING THE TRANSMISSION.

CAR STARTED TO SHUDDER WHEN DRIVING, HEATER WOULD GET COLD WHEN CAR WAS SITTING, VIBRATIONS WHEN DRIVING. GARAGE SAID RADIATOR CRACKED AND LEAKED FLUID INTO TRANSMISSION FLUID AND DESTROYED ENGINE. *TR

I HAVE NOT HAD THIS 2007 PATHFINDER A YEAR YET. I TOLD THE MAN THAT SOLD ME THE CAR THAT I WAS HAVING THIS FUEL ISSUE WHERE, THE GAUGE JUST DROPS DOWN AND YOU THINK YOU ARE OUT OF GAS. HE TOLD ME TO JUST WAIT UNTIL MY WARRANTY KICK IN. LOW AND BEHOLD WE BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY SAID THE WARRANTY DID NOT COVER IT. THERE ARE NISSAN THAT HAVE BEEN RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. BAKER NISSAN KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND SOLD ME THE CAR WITHOUT SERVICING IT PROPERLY LIKE THEY PROMISE ME. NOW THE LIGHT IS ON CAUSE THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. WHY DO COMPANY DO CUSTOMER LIKE THAT IT IS SUCH A SHAME TO LIVE IN SUCH A GREEDY WORLD WHERE PEOPLE CARE ONLY FOR THEMSELVES. I HOPE THAT THE NISSAN COMPANY IS NOT THIS WAY BECAUSE PEOPLES LIVES ARE AT STAKE DRIVING UNSAFE VEHICLES BECAUSE YOU DON'T CHOOSE FOR ONE(1) DAY TO EAT A CAN OF BEAN. I'M VERY UPSET THAT THEY RAILROADED ME. *TR

MY PATHFINDER STOPPED DEFROSTING/HEATING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IDLE. THIS IS A SYMPTOM OF THE WELL KNOWN CRACKED RADIATOR PROBLEM THAT LEADS TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN MANY 2005-2010 PATHFINDERS AT AROUND 95,000 MILEAGE. THE SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT I LIKE MANY OTHERS HAVE TO GET TO WORK ON TIME AND END UP DRIVING THESE VEHICLES WITHOUT THE WINDOWS BEING PROPERLY DEFROSTED. THIS CAUSES CLEAR VISION ISSUES AND INCREASES THE PROBABILITY OF GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT, A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. FOR THIS REASON, I WOULD SERIOUSLY CONSIDER INSTITUTING A RECALL TO REPLACE THE RADIATORS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WOULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A CRACKED RADIATOR THAT CAUSED FLUID TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,200.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH AND MERGING INTO THE SLOW LANE, THE VEHICLE AGGRESSIVELY LUNGED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIGOROUSLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE AND CHECK OIL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS ENGINE SLUDGE. THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FAILED DUE TO THE EXTERNAL COOLER FAILURE. THE RADIATOR, TRANSMISSION, AND EXTERNAL COOLER ALL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WITH AFTERMARKET PARTS, ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 134,000.

WHEN I FULL MY VEHICLE WITH GAS THE GAGE INSIDE STILL SAY EMPTY. SOMETIMES IT MOVES, BUT VERY MISLEADING. BECAUSE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH FUEL GAGE, NOW MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON.

TRUCK WAS JERKING A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO THEN WENT TO DIRECT FIX.COM, WHICH SAID TO LOOK FOR CONTAMINATION IN THE COOLANT RESERVOIR. SO I REPLACED THE RADIATOR, FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION, REPLACE TRANSMITTER AND FILLED OEM TRANSFLUID. RAN GOOD FOR TWO WEEKS AND TRAN'S JUST WENT BANK. IREC

I STOPPED AT THE GAS STATION TO GET FUEL. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND PUT GAS IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE VEHICLE, IT WILL NOT START.. I TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN ELIZABETH CITY NORTH CAROLINA. AFTER MY VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE INTERNAL COOLER IN THE RADIATOR BURST AND LEAKED TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE RADIATOR AND ANTIFREEZE HAD LEAKED INTO MY TRANSMISSION. THE TECH EXPLAINED THAT THE ANTIFREEZE HAVE CAUSE THE INTERNAL COMPUTER IN THE TRANSMISSION TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. HE STATED THAT THE FUSE KEPT BLOWING OUT. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $3000.00 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I HAD NO WARNING SIGNS AT ALL. I WAS TOLD BY THE TECH TO CALL NISSAN CORPORATION FOR FURTHER DETAIL. ONCE I CALLED THE CORPORATION, AN INVESTIGATION CLAIM WAS INITIATED. SHE TOLD ME THAT SOME WILL CONTACT ME BY MONDAY (10/24/16). SO NOW ITS LIKE A WAIT AND SEE GAME. I WAS TOLD THAT THE RADIATOR HAD A WARRANTY ON IT UP TO 100,000 MILES OF UNTIL 02/2017. I DID EXPLAINED TO THE TECH THAT THE FAILED PART IN THE RADIATOR CAUSED MY TRANSMISSION TO GET DAMAGE.

MY PATHFINDER TAKING ANTIFREEZE INSIDE OF TRANSMISSION FLUID TURNING IT TO LOOK LIKE PEPTO BISMOL ALSO MY ENGINE IS TAKING IN ANTI FREEZE ALSO. THERE ARE RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLES NOTE MY TRUCK STILL RUN BUT IT OVER HEATS TRANNY WORKS TOO I'VE PARKED IT FOR COUPLE YEARS NOW I HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT TO THE POINT WHERE IT DON'T WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE PARKED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH CAUSED TRANSMISSION FLUID AND COOLANT TO MIX. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,687.

THE SUV HAS ALWAYS GONE FOR SERVICE AT THE DEALER AND THEY NEVER TOLD US TO WATCH OUT FOR THE RADIATOR PASSING WATER TO TRANSMISION, AND NOW THAT DEFECTIVE PART HAS PUT WATER IN MY TRANSMISSION IT AS DAMAGED IT.

RADIATOR RECALL FOR TRANS LINES LEAKING INTO RADIATOR CONTAMINATING COOLANT. AND NOW THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER IS CAUSING A LOUD KNOCK IN THE ENGINE FROM THE TIMING CHAIN.

ENJOYING OUR PATHFINDER ONE AFTERNOON AND WENT TO PASS A CAR AND IT WOULD NOT KICK INOT PASSING GEAR. WHEN WE STOPPED I COULD SMELL THAT IT WAS HOT, BUT COULD NOT FIND A LEAK. AFTER LETTING IT COOL, I CHECKED THE COOLANT LEVEL AND FOUND THAT GREY FROTH IN THE RADIATOR. A QUICK CHECK ON THE INTERNET LEAD ME TO ME WORST FEAR. I AM STILL IN THE PROCESS OF FLUSHING RADIATOR AND GETTING QUOTES. LOCAL AAMCO GUY SAID THAT TRANSMISSION IS DOOMED, AND THEY SEE A LOT OF THESE. $4,000 - 4500 TO REBUILD. SO MUCH MONEY FOR SUCH AN EASY REPAIR HAD I KNOWN BEFORE THE RADIATOR GAVE UP. NO MORE NISSANS FOR THIS FAMILY!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND LATER TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR CRACKED AND LEAKED WATER INTO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH CAUSED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM, RADIATOR, AND TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

IN 2010, NISSAN RECALLED MANY 2006 AND 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDERS (10V-075) FOR A FUEL GAUGE INACCURACY ISSUE, WHERE THE GAUGE WOULD "SHOW THAT THE VEHICLE STILL HAS SOME FUEL, TYPICALLY ABOUT ONE QUARTER TANK, WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS ACTUALLY EMPTY." ODDLY, NISSAN THEN SENT OUT AN NTB (NTB07-069D) LATER IN 2010 TO REMEDY THE SAME ISSUE ON MANY MORE NISSAN MODELS, INCLUDING 2005-2008 PATHFINDERS. WHY THIS DEFECT INITIALLY DESERVED A RECALL AND THEN ONLY A LESS NOTICEABLE NTB IS UNCLEAR. OUR OWN 2007 PATHFINDER WAS APPARENTLY WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT IT HAS DEVELOPED EXACTLY THE SAME FUEL SENSOR PROBLEM. THIS SUGGESTS THAT NISSAN FAILED TO FULLY RECALL ALL MODELS AFFECTED BY THE FUEL SENSOR DEFECT, AND THE SUBSEQUENT NTB (THE WARRANTY FOR WHICH HAS ALREADY PASSED) PROVIDED NO PROTECTION FOR THE PROBLEM WHEN IT DEVELOPED. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NISSAN WOULD RECALL ONLY A FEW MODELS AFFECTED BY THIS DEFECT AND IGNORE THE FACT THAT THE DEFECT WAS PRESENT IN MANY MORE MODELS. I ALSO DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NHTSA WOULD ALLOW SUCH A PARTIAL RECALL. WHY WOULD A RECALL ONLY APPLY TO SOME OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES?

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND TRUCK WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO OVERDRIVE. PULL CODE P0717 INDICATING THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR OR COMPUTER WAS OUT. TOOK TO SHOP AND THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION COOLING LINE IN THE RADIATOR CRACKED, THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS THEN MIXED WITH ANTIFREEZE, AND IT FOULED THE TRANSMISSION PARTS AND KNOCK OUT THE COMPUTER. TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACE AND THE SHOP NOTED THAT NISSAN WOULDN'T WARRANTY THE TRANSMISSION WITHOUT REPLACING THE RADIATOR, WHICH THEY KNEW HAD TO BE DONE ANYWAY. THEY SAID THEY'VE SEEN SOOO MANY OF THESE IT'S RIDICULOUS. $4,225.43 REPAIR THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF WE'D JUST KNOWN TO REPLACE THE $200 RADIATOR.

AS A SINGLE FATHER OF THREE TEENAGERS, I NEEDED TWO VEHICLES WITH ENOUGH ROOM AND SAFETY FEATURES TO HANDLE HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE NEEDS. I BOUGHT TWO PATHFINDERS, A 2007 SE AND 2008 LE, ONE FOR MYSELF AND ONE FOR MY SON (WHICH WOULD BE PASSED ON, ETC). MY DECISION WAS BASED ON MY PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH NISSAN PRODUCTS AND MY LOYALTY TO THE BRAND. HOWEVER, I NOW HAVE BOTH PATHFINDERS NEEDING MAJOR REPAIRS TO THEIR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. THE 2008 PATHFINDER'S TRANSMISSION FAILED IN VERY HEAVY HOUSTON TRAFFIC WHILE DRIVING WITH MY YOUNGER SON, WHICH CAUSED OTHER VEHICLES TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES AND ALMOST CREATED A LARGE PILE-UP ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. WHILE WE AVOIDED BEING KILLED BY ONCOMING VEHICLES, WE WERE ALSO IN DANGER AS WE MOVED THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. AFTER TOWING THE VEHICLE TO A REPUTABLE TRANSMISSION SHOP, HE FOUND THE ISSUE TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE COOLANT FLUID LEAKING INTO THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, CAUSING TOTAL FAILURE. ESTIMATES ARE OVER $6,000 FOR REBUILDING OR REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION WITH PARTS AND LABOR, INCLUDING THE REQUIRED ADDITION OF A "COOLER" INSTEAD OF THE RADIATOR. I ATTEMPTED TO FILE THIS WITH MY CAR INSURANCE BUT WAS DENIED COVERAGE. NOW, THE 2007 PATHFINDER IS HAVING THE SAME SYMPTOMS WITH SLIPPAGE AND INABILITY TO USE OVERDRIVE, WHICH ALMOST CAUSE ANOTHER MULTI-CAR PILE-UP IN HOUSTON TRAFFIC UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO DOWNSHIFT AND MOVE ASIDE. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE 2007 PATHFINDER TRANSMISSION ALSO FAILS COMPLETELY, AND I STILL OWE $12,000 TO THE CREDIT UNION ON BOTH LOANS COMBINED. I ATTEMPTED A LOAN FOR REPAIRS THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION SHOP, BUT WAS DENIED DUE TO BAD CREDIT FROM A LAY-OFF LAST YEAR. NISSAN, PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL FOR THOSE OF US WITHOUT HOPE AND UNABLE TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO SAVE LIVES AND BOOST YOUR BRAND TO A HIGHER LEVEL, THROUGH INTEGRITY.

VEHICLE LOST POWER, WILL NOT TRANSMIT POWER TO THE WHEELS, APPEARS TO BE A HIGHLY COMPLAINT AMONG ALL OWNERS. TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED IN A HEAVY TRAFFIC AREA. FUEL LEVEL SENDER IS NO LONGER WORKING.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND I PULL TWO P0717 CODES INDICATING AN ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSION CONTROL VALVE WITH TCM. TOOK TO SHOP AND THEY FOUND COOLANT MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID REQUIRING A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT.

I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THERE WAS A BAD TIMING CHAIN - CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT FINANCIALLY ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR. THERE APPEARS TO BE A CIVIL LAWSUIT REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

ON FRIDAY, AUGUST THE 8TH ON THE WAY TO WORK ON THE INTERSTATE I ACCELERATED GOING UP A HILL AND THE GEAR CHANGE IN THE TRANSMISSION WAS EXTREMELY ROUGH. IT WAS LIKE WHEN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION IS KNOCKED OUT OF GEAR, OF COURSE THIS VEHICLE IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. LIKE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION BEING KNOCKED OUT OF GEAR THE VEHICLE HAD A VERY QUICK DECELERATION ALTHOUGH I AS STILL PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. THIS ALMOST CAUSED THE CAR BEHIND ME TO REAR END ME. EVENTUALLY THE VEHICLE ACTED LIKE IT WENT BACK IN GEAR. WHEN I EXITED OFF OF THE INTERSTATE, CAME TO A STOP AT THE END OF THE OFF RAMP, AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE AGAIN ACTED LIKE THE MOTOR WAS ENGAGING BUT NOT THE TRANSMISSION, ALMOST CAUSING ANOTHER REAR END COLLISION. I MANAGED TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE PARKING LOT AT WORK. IT SET THERE FOR THE DAY UNTIL I WAS LEAVING TO GO HOME. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE VDC AND SLIP LIGHTS WOULD COME ON WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START. I LEFT THE VEHICLE AT WORK. I RETURNED ON SATURDAY. I GOT A AUTO CODE FROM THE VEHICLE OF P0717 REFERRING TO THE TURBINE SPEED SENSOR. I FOUND THE 10 AMP A/T ECU FUSE WAS BLOWN. I REPLACED THE FUSE AND THE VEHICLE CRANKED BUT IMMEDIATELY BLEW THE FUSE AGAIN AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN IF TURNED OFF. I LEFT THE VEHICLE AND DID SOME RESEARCH FINDING THE ISSUE WITH THE RADIATOR FLUID CONTAMINATING THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO GO OUT. MY COMPANY MECHANIC AND I LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE ON MONDAY AND FOUND THE RADIATOR EMPTY OF FLUID AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CONTAMINATED. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SEVERELY INJURED ID THIS ISSUE IS NOT BROUGHT TO THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. THE VEHICLE IS STILL SITTING WHERE I LEFT IT UNTIL I DECIDE WHETHER I AM GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE WHAT I AM SURE IS A BAD TRANSMISSION DUE TO A FAULTY MANUFACTURERS DESIGN.

RADIATOR DEFECT, THAT NISSAN HAS KNOWN SINCE 2012, CLASS ACTION SUIT, FOR PATHFINDERS AND XTERRAS LEAKED FLUID INTO TRANSMISSION BLOWING MY TRANSMISSION. NISSAN REPLACED TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR BUT CHARGED ME $3,000 AS CO-PAY. NISSAN HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE FOR A WHILE AND YET NEVER SUBJECT OF RECALL NOR WERE OWNERS NOTIFIED OF THIS ENGINEERING DEFECT OF THE RADIATOR. NISSAN REFUSED TO INDEMNIFY ME FOR THE CO-PAY CLAIMING I WAS LUCKY I GOT THAT FROM THEM. WHEN QUESTIONED AS TO WHY THESE RADIATORS WERE NEVER RECALLED, THEY REFUSED TO RESPOND AND STATED THEY WERE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO NOTIFY OWNERS OF THIS DEFECT. MY TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR WENT WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE CAUSING MY CAR TO SWERVE ALMOST RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT IT IS ABSURD THAT THE OWNERS SHOULD HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING BECAUSE OF THIS RADIATOR THAT WAS ENGINEERED DEFECTIVE.

THE TRANSSMISION DON'T CHANGE CORRECTLY

MY WIFE WAS IN A HEAD ON CRASH, A MAN TURNED LEFT IN FRONT OF HER SHE HIT HIM. THE WREAK WAS HEAD ON FOR HER TRUCK AND SIDE IMPACT FOR HIM. THANK GOD SHE WAS WEARING HER SEAT BELT BECAUSE NO AIR BAGS WERE DEPLOYED. THE SPEED LIMIT IN THAT AREA IS 45 MPH. HOW DOES A HEAD ON CRASH AT 45 MPH NOT DEPLOY ON THE DRIVER SIDE? WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED FROM AN INDEPENDENT DEALER IN DALLAS TX IN 2010.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED SEVERELY FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKED INTO THE RADIATOR. THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

ANTI FREEZE LEAK INTO TRANSMISSION.

3RD EVENT. DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, ENGINE LOSES POWER, WILL NOT ACCELERATE OVER 30 MPH. ON PREVIOUS EVENTS REVERSE REMAINED USEFUL AND VEHICLE RECOVERED. TAKEN TO SHOP, TOLD NOTHING COULD BE FOUND WRONG AND EVENT DID NOT RECUR ON THEIR TEST DRIVE. CONTINUED TO DRIVE VEHICLE MANY MONTHS, NO ISSUE. THIS EVENT, CAR WOULD NOT REVERSE AND WAS DRIVEN TO THE HOME OF MY FAMILY WHERE I WAS ENDING MY VACATION. NOW STRANDED 4 HOURS FROM HOME. CALLED OUT FROM WORK TOMORROW TO RESEARCH AND DECIDE WHAT ACTIONS TO TAKE.

CAR WOULD NOT START. LOCAL MECHANIC COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHY. TOWED 30 MILES TO DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD COOLANT LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION AND WOULD NEED TO COMPLETELY REPLACE TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF $5,000. NISSAN KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE, HOWEVER THE MILEAGE IS TOO HIGH FOR THEM TO HELP ME OUT AT ALL.

TAMARA INFLATORS , FUEL GAUGE REGISTERS EMPTY WHEN TANK IS FILLED AND WILL NOT DETECT THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL UNTIL HALF OF THE TANK IS EMPTY. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED.

RADIATOR COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO TRANSMISION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE

I WAS DRIVING WHEN MY NISSAN PATHFINDER 2007 OUT RIGHT WHEN I GOT IN THE MIDDLE OF IN INTERSECTION MY CAR JUST DIDN'T WANT TO GO I WAS PRESSING ON THE GAS AND IT WOULD GO IT THEN IT WOULD START GOING AGAIN BUT WOULDN'T GO FASTER THEN 20MPH THEN AGAIN IT WOULD STOP N WOULDNT MOVE I TOOK IT TO A SHOP TO GET IT CHECKED OUT THEY TOLD ME MY RADIATOR FAILED AND CAUSE LIQUID TO GO INTO MY TRAMISSION WHICH CAUSE THAT TO FAIL ...SO I CALLED NISSAN ABOUT THE RECALL I READ ABOUT FAIL RADIATOR AND TRAMISSION THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T HELP ME

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED GEARS AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO BECOME INOPERABLE. AS A RESULT, THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

IT STARTED WHEN MY PATHFINDER WOULD MAKE SHUDDERING NOISES AND VIBRATE HEAVILY WHILE ACCELERATING. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT MY RADIATOR HAD CRACKED AND CAUSED COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD THE RADIATOR REPLACED AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED. BUT THAT WAS ONLY THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. AFTER DRIVING MY CAR FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS IT COMPLETELY LOST POWER WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND I WAS LEFT STRANDED ON A REALLY HOT DAY WITH DOGS IN THE CAR. APPARENTLY ONCE THE LEAKING RADIATOR FLUID MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID THIS LETHAL COMBINATION KILLED THE VALVES, SEALS AND TORQUE CONVERTER -- RENDERING MY ENTIRE TRANSMISSION USELESS. NO AMOUNT OF FLUSHING THE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING TO SAVE IT. THE TOTAL REPAIR COST OVER $6000.00 AND NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE IN THEIR CARS YET HAVE NOT DONE THE RIGHT THING AND ISSUED A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER EQUIPPED WITH YOKOHAMA GEOLANDAR H/T-S TIRES, SIZE: 265/70/R16 (NA). WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE TPMS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT ALL THE TIRES WERE DRY ROTTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. THE TIRE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE DOT NUMBER AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,180.

TRANSMISSION IS BUCKING AND VIBRATING WHILE IN MOTION. I'M GUESSING I HAVE MONTH BEFORE IT BREAKS DOWN LIKE ALL OF THE OTHERS.

COOLANT HAS LEAKED INTO MY TRANSMISSION. MY VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 88000 MILES AND MY TRANSMISSION HAS STARTED SLIPPING. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND HE SAID "YEAH, IT'S A MIXER". REFERRING TO THE COOLANT THAT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. ACCORDING TO HIM IM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS BROUGHT IN THEIR NISSAN WITH THIS ISSUE.I WENT TO NISSAN BUT THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL. AFTER CHECKING ONLINE IT SEEMS THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT BROUGHT AGAINST NISSAN BACK IN 2012 BUT IT SEEMS LIKE I CAN'T BE PART OF IT SINCE THE DEADLINE HAS PASSED. I HOPE THERE IS A RECALL SOON SO I CAN GET MY TRUCK FIXED.

ON MARCH 14TH 2016. WE PURCHASED A NISSAN PATHFINDER 2007, ON THE DAY IT WAS PURCHASED? IT SHUT DOWN IN THE GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT! WE HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER, GOT IT BACK? AND THEN THE CAR SHUT DOWN AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET! IN A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA! MY HUSBAND CANT WALK FAR BECAUSE OF HIS DISABILITY AND WE HAD TO SIT IN THE CAR AND WAIT TILL THE TOW TRUCK CAME! MARCH 7,2017 THE DAY AFTER OUR FIRST PAYMENT! THE DEALERSHIP THEN TOLD US IT WAS A LEAK IN THE RADIATOR COOLANT HOSE DUE TO SOME FLAW IN DESIGN! THEY TOLD US IT WOULD COST 1500 MINIMUM TO FIX! WE OWNED THE CAR LESS THAN A MONTH! MADE ONE PAYMENT! AND NOW WE CAN'T DRIVE IT OR AFFORD TO FIX IT! BECAUSE OUR VEHICLE HAS 100,000 MILES NISSAN, INSTEAD OF JUST FIXING THEIR ENGINE FLAW?WANTS TO CHARGE US 3,000 DOLLARS TO FIX IT! WE ARE ON A FIXED INCOME BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I ARE DISABLED,AND FINANCED INTO A TRUCK THAT COULD HAVE KILLED US! THIS NEEDS TO BE A STRAIGHT AND FAIR RECALL WITH NO COST TO THE CONSUMER! THIS CAR COULD HAVE SHUT DOWN ANYWHERE! LEAVING US STRANDED! OR WORSE!

VEHICLE STARTED VIBRATING AT 40MPH TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC THEY ADVISED THAT THE RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION FLUIDS MIXED, REPLACED THE RADIATOR FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION VEHICLE WAS AT 90,000 MILES DROVE THE CAR ANOTHER YEAR WITH SLIGHT VIBRATION STILL AT 40MPH NOW IT IS AT 106,000 MILES TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING WHEN IT WARMS UP WON'T COME OUT OF 2ND GEAR LOOKING AT HAVING TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION FOR 4500.00, THE RADIATOR WAS 400.00 PLUS AN OUTSIDE COOLER FOR THE TRANSMISSION AN ADDITIONAL 200.00. HAD I BEEN MADE AWARE OF A POTENTIAL PROBLEM I MAY HAVE BEEN COVERED BECAUSE UNDER 80,000 MILES I HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE NOT HEATING UP WHEN IDOL THE HEAT WOULD ONLY WORK WHEN I DROVE THE CAR AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON BUT THE DIAGNOSES WAS A FUEL CAP 3 GAS CAPS LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND I HAD A HEATING ELEMENT REPLACED BUT IT SEEMS THAT THE HEATING ISSUE IS A SIGN OF THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE MADE IT'S CUSTOMERS AWARE OF THE ISSUE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2010 WITH 13.000 MILES ON IT THEY WERE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THERE RESPONSE WAS WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE US TO DO I DON'T THINK THE CLASS ACTION SUIT WAS FAIR TO THE CONSUMER I DON'T QUALIFY DUE TO THE CUT OFF DATE AND NOW THE MILEAGE BUT I WOULD RATHER GIVE A TRANSMISSION SHOP 3500.00 RATHER THAN GIVE NISSAN 3500.00 I FEEL THAT I ALREADY PAID THEM ENOUGH AND FOR THEM TO KNOW OF THIS ISSUE AND NOT NOTIFY THE CONSUMER IS TERRIBLE I HAVE 3 CHILDREN I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY IN FACT I HAD MY 2 YEAR OLD IN THE VEHICLE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T COME OUT OF 2ND GEAR IT SLOWED FROM 60MPH TO 30MPH LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND SWITCH INTO NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO DRIVE TO GET IT TO SHIFT SO I COULD MAKE IT TO THE NEAREST EXIT.

TAKATA RECALL MY AIR BAG LIGHTS CONTINUE TO BLINK AND DO NOT GO OFF BROUGHT IN TO DEALER TO GET IT CHECK. THE DEALER STATES ITS NOT THE SENSOR ITS ITS A CIRCUIT SPIRAL CABLE DECLINE. NISSAN REFUSES TO PUT MY VEHICLE IN THE CALL BACK. I THINK ITS PART OF THE TAKATA AIR BAG DESIGN AND SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE CALL BACK.

THIS COMPLAINT IS ABOUT THE PAST RECALL ON THE 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER, THE TRANSMISSION FLUID MIXING WITH THE RADIATOR. DUE TO A HOLE, CRACK IN THE ENGINE. HAD THIS TO HAPPEN TO ME. COST VERY HIGH. THIS HAPPEN WITH CAR IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS.

STARTED HEARING A LOUD KNOCKING WHEN PUTTING MY CAR IN PARK OR OTHER GEARS. TOOK IT IN FOR MY REGULAR SCHEDULED SERVICE AND TOLD THE SERVICE WRITER AT NISSAN WHAT WAS GOING ON. HE CHECKED IT AND SAID HE WOULD NOT LET ME DRIVE IT AND OFFERED A RENTAL , TOLD ME HE WOULD CALL. WELL SURPRISE $7600 PRICE TAG, SAID NOTHING ABOUT THE RECALL, I FOUND THAT MYSELF. BUT HE TOLD ME NISSAN WOULD PAY PART AND MY CO-PAY IS $3000. HE TOLD ME THE INTER COOLER IN THE RADIATOR HAD CRACKED AND LEAKED, SENDING FLUIDS INTO MY TRANSMISSION AND KILLING IT. ON TOP OF THAT THEY WANT TO REPLACE WITH A RE-MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION. ACCORDING TO THE EXTENDED WARRANTY GUIDELINES OF THE CLASS ACTION SUIT, MY VEHICLE JUST TURNED 9 YRS. APPROX. 3 WEEKS AGO AND ONLY HAS 79,000 MILES. YOU WOULD THINK SINCE IT'S ONLY 3 WEEKS OUT OF 8 YRS. AND WITHIN THE 80, 000 THEY WOULD REPLACE FOR FREE. I WAS NEVER EVEN NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL, I HAVE MY CAR SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED FROM, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DIDN'T TELL ME OR TAKE ACTION BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, WHO KNOWS MAYBE THEY WILL DO PROPER BUSINESS AND FIX THEIR MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

PROBLEM STARTED WHEN TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP WHILE DRIVING BACK AND FORTH TO WORK.. HAD TRANSMISSION FLUSHED DID NOT HELP...LEARNED ABOUT THE INTER-COOLER DEFECATE SO CHECKED THE RADIATOR TO FIND TRANNY FLUID.. CAR IS OVER 100K MILES SO LEFT WITH ALL REPAIR COST AND A SORRY ABOUT YOUR LUCK.....

THE RADIATOR IS MIXING ANTI-FREEZE AND TRANSMISSION FLUID TOGETHER AND CYCLING IT THREW THE WHOLE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, DTE READS --- AND FUEL GAGE SEEMS TO BE INACCURATE. ISSUE PRESENTED ITSELF AT 99,900 MILES. CODE P0463 IS THROWN. THIS ISSUE IS WIDELY DOCUMENTED ACROSS FORUMS AND THE INTERNET, YET NISSAN ONLY COVERS THIS UNTIL YEAR 2013 AND/OR 72K MILES, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. THIS WIDESPREAD ISSUE SHOULD BE COVERED FOR LIFE OF VEHICLE.

DEFECTIVE DRIVE CHAINS, AS DESCRIBED IN A NISSAN TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLITEN. THESE WERE ABOUT TO BREAK AND DESTROY THE ENGINE.

MY SUV WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A MANUFACTURING DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSON AND NOW HAS ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION COOLER PIPES SPLITTING CAUSING CROSS CONTAMINATION BETWEEN THE RADIATOR COOLANT & TRANSMISSION FLUID. WHICH RESULTED IN A FAILURE TO THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE CROSS CONTAMINATION HAD TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION, TRANSMISSION COOLER HOSES & RADIATOR REPLACED.I CALLED NISSAN CORP AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY I TOLD THEM THAT THEY ARE PUTTING FAMILYS IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I ALSO EXPLAINED TO THEM WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE THEY WHERE WELL AWARE OF THE SITUATION BUT CONCEALED THAT INFORMATION FROM ME AND I LET THEM KNOW THAT I WAS PREGNANT AT THE TIME WITH OUR 4TH CHILD AND NEEDED THE 3RD ROW THATS WHY WE TRADED, SO I DID NOT APPRECIATE THAT INFORMATION BEING CONCEALED FROM ME AND PUTTING MY CHILDREN IN A UNSAFE VEHICLE. NISSAN HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST WRECK 3 TIMES THIS HAS CAUSED SO MUCH STRESS ON ME AND MY FAMILY.I HAVE REACHED OUT TO NISSAN CORP SEVERAL TIMES WITH THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT OR RETURN IT AND GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK.AND ALSO I DELIVERED MY BABY 10 DAYS LATER AFTER I PURCHASED THE PATHFINDER AND THE PATHERFINDER HAD ABOUT 70,000 MILES ON IT ALREADY SO THE TRANSMISSON COULD HAD EASILY WENT OUT AT ANY TIME SINCE IT HAD KNOWN PROBLEMS THAT WERE CONCEALED FROM ME AND CAUSED A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ME AND MY BABY BECAUSE WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE THEY CONCEALED THE INFORMATION KNOWING THAT IT COULD HAPPEN AT ANYTIME AND REFUSED TO LET ME KNOW EVEN THOUGH MY HUSBAND AND I BOTH ASKED IF ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND THEY TOLD US NO THEY CHECK THE VEHICLES BEFORE THEY SALE THEM BY THEIR MECHANICS.SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. MY PATHFINDER ONLY HAS 123,000 MILES ON IT.

IN APRIL 2016 WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. SUV MANAGED TO MAKE ANOTHER 10 MILES OR SO UNTIL THE SLIPPING WAS TO BAD TO CONTINUE DRIVING. STOPPED THE CAR AND ALLOWERD IT TO COOL. OPENED THE RADIATOR CAP AND DISCOVERED THAT THE TRASMISSION FLUD AND RADIATOR FLUID HAD MIXED. THE SUV IS NOW AT A REPAIR SHOP AND WILL NOT BE COVERED DUE TO BE OVER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY MILEAGE. I ALSO OWN A 2008 NISSAN FRONTIER THAT IS ALSO SUCCEPTIBLE TO THE SAME PROBLEM.

IN OCTOBER OF 2015, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. IT HAS HAPPEN 3 TIMES SINCE (THE MOST RECENT BEING MARCH 22, 2016). AN INDEPENDENT REPAIRMAN HAS LOOK AT THE VEHICLE 3 TIMES, BUT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. SPOKE WITH THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE THE ISSUE OVER THE PHONE. WE DID DISCUSS THE TRANSMISSION/ENGINE COOLANT MIXING. TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER EVALUATION. THEY SAID IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY OR RECALL. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BUT OUR VEHICLE ALREADY HAD TOO MANY MILES TO BE INCLUDED.

FLUID HAS LEAKED FROM THE RADIATOR INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING CORROSION IN THE TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION STALLS AND SHUTTERS WHILE DRIVING IT. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY HAZARD, DUE TO LACK OF POWER AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF TRANSMISSION DURING DRIVING. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN NISSAN PATHFINDERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A POPPING NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

REAR HATCH HYDRAULICS FAILED. DOOR SLAMS SHUT, AND WILL NOT STAY IN UP POSITION. SAFETY CONCERN, ESPECIALLY WITH SMALL CHILDREN. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THE HYDRAULICS HOLDING UP THE DOOR HAVE FAILED.

RADIATOR CRACKED AND LEAKED FLUID IN TO THE TRANSMISSION.

THE COOLANT HAS LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION COSTING ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIR. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM BY NISSAN AND THEY COULD HAVE RECALLED THE VEHICLE YEARS AGO BUT HAVE NOT DONE SO COSTING UNSUSPECTING CITIZENS LIKE ME HUGE BILLS TO REPAIR MY PATHFINDER. VEHICLE HAD TO BE LEFT IN A PARKING LOT OVERNIGHT FOR FEAR OF CAUSING MORE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE AND I HAD TO WALK HOME AT NIGHT.

MY CAR START TO SLIP UP SO I DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAVE COOLANT MIX IN IT ALSO OPEN RADIATOR CAP AND FOUND MILKY LOOKING COOLANT. MY CAR HAVE ONLY 114000 MILES.3/2016

TIMING CHAIN TENSION SYSTEM FAILED AT 80,000 MILES.

IN THE MIDDLE OF 2013, THE DEALER RECOMMENDED A TRANSMISSION FLUSH FOR MY 2007 PATHFINDER. I GAVE THEM THE GO AHEAD. ONLY A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO JERK AND SHIFT VIOLENTLY INTO GEAR. EVENTUALLY, THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER. THE DEALER SAID IT WOULD COST $6K TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND BASICALLY TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD JUST GET A NEW CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE RADIATOR, TRANSMISSION COOLER WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THE TRANSMISSION OVERHAULED. THE WORK WAS QUOTED AT $3,500 WHICH WAS A LOT BETTER THAN $6,000 SO I WENT AHEAD WITH THE REPAIR. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION COOLER TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, THE REPAIR WAS EXECUTED BY THE DEALERSHIP IN LATE 2014. THEN IN MID 2015 THE TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. SAME SYMPTOMS AS BEFORE. I AM JUST WAITING FOR THE TRUCK TO DIE ON ME ANY DAY. RECENTLY I CAME ACROSS SOME INFORMATION ABOUT A CLASS-ACTION SUIT THAT WAS SETTLED AGAINST NISSAN IN 2013 OVER THIS EXACT PROBLEM. THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS SETTLEMENT AND SHOULD HAVE OFFERED ME THE OPTION TO GET MY CAR REPAIRED UNDER THE TERMS OF THAT SETTLEMENT - BUT THEY DID NOT. FURTHER, I UNDERSTAND NISSAN HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH A NEW PART BUT I SUSPECT THAT THE DEALER USED THE OLD TYPE OF PARTS WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS IN THEIR BODY SHOP AND THIS IS THE REASON MY TRANSMISSION IS ONCE AGAIN EXHIBITING SIGNS OF AN IMPENDING PROBLEM. THIS IS JUST NOT GOOD FOR CONSUMERS AND IT IS DEFINITELY NOT GOOD FOR NISSAN'S REPUTATION. I WILL NEVER AGAIN BUY NISSAN.

"TAKATA RECALL" OUT OF THE CLEAR BLUE I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 PATHFINDER AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY THAT DAY AND IT PASSED PER SERVICE MANAGER LOUIS CASTILLO AT BAKER JACKSON NISSAN IN HOUSTON TEXAS, 2 DAYS LATER THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND ONCE AGAIN I WENT TO THE DEALER SHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SENSORS AND OTHER PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED THE COST IS $1500. I CALLED NISSAN CORP AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO TAKING RESPONSIBILITY EVEN THOUGH THEY STATED ALL 2007 PATHFINDERS IN OTHER STATES WOULD BE GIVEN A 10 YEAR WARRANTY. MY TRUCK WAS ALSO AFFECTED WITH THE RADIATOR FLULID MIXING WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, DURING THE YEARS OF 2010-2012 I CONSTANTLY TOOK MY TRUCK TO BAKER JACKSON NISSAN AND THE SERVICE MANAGER THEN LARRY JUST TOPPED OFF MY TRUCK HIMSELF AND NEVER MADE A RECORD OF IT. HE KEPT ASSURING ME THAT HE WAS SAVING ME MONEY. MY TRANSMISSION FAILED BUT BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE IN 2012 NISSAN WAS ABLE TO DENY FIXING MY TRANSMISSION VIA THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. I ENDED UP SPENDING $4800 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. IN 2010 NISSAN CONVINCED ME TO REPLACE MY TRAIN FOR $1600, I NEVER KNEW IT WAS A RECALL UNTIL TODAY. ANOTHER CAVEAT TO THIS MESS IS THAT BAKER JACKSON CHANGED THEIR COMPUTER SYSTEM AND HAS NO RECORD OF ME REPLACING MY TRAIN. I HAVE A BANK STATEMENT TO PROVE IT IF NECESSARY.

TIMING CHAIN FAILURE AT 80,000 MILES WHICH SHOULD NOT HAPPEN

THE HEATING SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. THE ONLY TIME THAT THE HEATER WORKS IS WHEN THE CAR IS DRIVEN. WHEN THE CAR STOPS ONLY COOL AIR IS BLOWN INSIDE OF THE CAR. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS WITH THE LATCH/LOCK FOR THE BACK HATCH. IT NO LONGER WORKS SO I MUST MANUALLY LOCK THE BACK HATCH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT CHANGE GEARS FROM DRIVE INTO REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO JERK AND LOSE ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING. THE ENGINE LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED WHILE THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE ENTIRE COST OF THE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

TRANSMISSION COOLER INSIDE THE RADIATOR CRACKED AND GOT COOLANT IN THE TRANSMISSION, CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO DIE. WE WENT TO TURN THE CAR ON AND IT WOULDN'T START, FROM THERE WE TOWED IT TO A MECHANIC WHO TOLD US WHAT HAD HAPPENED.

AFTER HEARING A LOT OF ABOUT THIS PROBLEM I DECIDED TO MAKE A COMPLAINT BECAUSE IT IS NOT FAIR FOR ANYONE TO GO THROUGH THIS. MY 2007 PATHFINDER SUDDENLY LOST COMPLETE POWER AND IT WOULDN'T START AT ALL AFTER HAVING A MECHANIC CHECK IT HE GAVE ME A DIAGNOSE THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION WHICH I DIDN'T BELIEVE I SAID WHAT DOES THE TRANSMISSION HAS TO DO WITH POWER BUT IT HAS A LOT TO DO AFTER I DID SOME RESEARCH IT COMES TO THIS. THE COOLANT ON THE VEHICLE GETS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION AND MIXES WITH THE OIL CAUSING THE TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) TO FAIL AND NOT TO SENT SIGNAL SO THE VEHICLE WILL START. SO NOW I HAVE TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR COST WILL BE MORE THAN 3000 DOLLARS. I BEEN THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS CAR AND HAVE TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT AS MUCH AS I CAN I JUST PAY OFF THIS CAR 2 YEARS AGO AND I DON'T THINK IS FAIR FOR US THAT HAD HAS THIS PROBLEMS TO PAID FOR IT I THINK NISSAN AMERICA SHOULD DO A RECALL ON THIS AND HELP US THE CONSUMERS.

1) ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO THE CRUSE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. HAVE NOT REPAIRED THIS PROBLEM. 2) IN JULY 2015 THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STARTED FLASHING. HAVE NOT REPAIRED THIS PROBLEM. 3) ON DEC 21, 2005 AFTER PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ADVANCE TO THE NEXT HIGHER GEAR. STOPPED AND PUT IT INTO REVERSE BUT THE SUV WOULD NOT GO BACKWARDS. SLOWLY DROVE IT AROUND THE BLOCK BACK HOME. TRANSMISSION SHOP REPORTED THAT COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE PCM COMPARTMENT CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE, COST WAS 3645 US DOLLARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED FOR AN OIL CHANGE, WHEN IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,789. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FRIED DUE TO CONTAMINATION FROM THE RADIATOR FLUID. NISSAN WAS AWARE OF CONTAMINATION IN TRANSMISSION THROUGH THE RADIATOR AND THIS CONTAMINATION CAUSES THE CONTROL MODULE IN THE TRANSMISSION TO SHORT. EVERY TIME I WANT TO START MY VEHICLE I HAVE TO REPLACE A 10AMP FUSE UNDER THE HOOD THAT WILL ALWAYS BLOW EVERY TIME I START IT. REPAIR COST FOR A NEW CONTROL MODULE ARE EXCEEDING $4000 EVERY PLACE I GO. NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS OF THEIR FAULTY DESIGN. DUE TO THIS DEFECT MY FAMILY WAS STRANDED, I HAD TO LEAVE MY WORK AND PICK THEM UP IN BELOW 30 DEGREE TEMPERATURES.

AT FIRST, THE CAR WOULDN'T START OCCASIONALLY. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND FUSES. THIS HELPED TEMPORARILY. NOW, THE CAR WON'T START UNLESS I PLACE A NEW ECU FUSE EACH TIME I ATTEMPT TO START IT. CHANGING THE FUSE WILL START THE CAR, BUT IT LACKS POWER AND IS QUICK TO STALL OUT. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC, HE DISCOVERED COOLANT IN MY TRANSMISSION. AFTER READING INFORMATION FROM SEVERAL WEBSITES, I REALIZED THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL OF CAR.

COOLANT LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSING DAMAGE TO TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE IS IN SHOP WITH ESTIMATE OF $5000 FOR REPAIRS. MECHANIC STATED IT IS DIFFICULT TO FIND REBUILDS AND THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE TRANSMISSIONS HE HAS PRICED. HE DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND MAKES IS MORE DIFFICULT TO GET REBUILT TRANSMISSIONS. I INITIALLY HAD THE COOLANT LEAK FIXED AND REPLACED THE RADIATOR. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT ROUGH AND IN THREE MONTHS TIME FROM COOLANT LEAK REPAIRS, STARTED TO NOT SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. CAR IN NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND WAS TAKEN TO MECHANIC.

RADIATOR FAILURE ALLOWED COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION BOTH THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR NOW NEED TO BE REPLACED. NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME AND HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL. OUR VEHICLE DROPPED INTO 1ST GEAR WHILE DRIVING AND NEARLY RESULTED IN US GETTING REAR ENDED.

CAR GAS GAGE IS STUCK ON EMPTY, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A FULL TANK OF GAS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. NISSAN SAYS I NEED A NEW FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 15 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO REVERSE AND SHIFTED THE GEAR SHIFTER INTO REVERSE BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE BACKWARDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTAMINATION DUE TO ANTI FREEZE FROM THE RADIATOR. THE TECHNICIAN ALSO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR JUST STOP SHIFTING GEARS, DEALER ADVISE THAT FAILED TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER LOCATED IN THE RADIATOR ASSEMBLY THAT ALLOWED COOLANT TO MIX WITH AND CONTAMINATE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID, RESULTING IN DAMAGED INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS AND A DAMAGED INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COMPUTER. READING ONLINE THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT NISSAN DOESN'T WARN THERE CUSTOMERS ABOUT THIS DEFECT. SOMEONE COULD GET HURT OR DIE BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT.

WHEN DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY DOING ABOUT 60 MPH OUR VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN WHEN I WAS ABOUT 3 OR 4 MILES FROM HOME AROUND 8:40 PM. I STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. THE ENGINE SOUNDED OK BUT THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO GO VERY FAST. SINCE I HAD NO PHONE AND I AM HANDICAPPED AND UNABLE TO WALK VERY FAR AND HAD A LOT OF PERISHABLE FOOD TO CARRY AND MY WIFE AND 9 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. I TRIED TO DRIVE HOME SINCE WE DON'T HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE. I BARELY MADE IT TO THE DRIVEWAY WHERE THE CAR SITS UNTIL I CAN GET A LOAN TO FIX OR BUY ANOTHER CAR. I ONLY HAVE 145,000 MILES ON THE CAR, I USUALLY GET 300 TO 400 THOUSAND MILES BEFORE I GET RID OF THEM.. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF A RECALL AND I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW FROM A DEALERSHIP. I AM PRETTY SURE IT'S THE TRANSMISSION BUT UNTIL I GET FUNDS I CANNOT PUT IT IN THE SHOP OR REPLACE IT.THIS IS FRIDAY THE DAY AFTER THE BREAKDOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY JERKED FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND ANTI FREEZE MIXED TOGETHER AND THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

RADIATOR CRACKED AND WATER WENT INTO THE OIL AND IT MIXED....PER REP AND MECHANIC AT NISSAN DEALER. PROBLEM CAUSED BY RADIATIOR NOT BEING BUILT PROPERLY AT FABRIC. THIS PROBLEM CAUSED VEHICLE TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHILE DRIVING. VERY UNSAFE.

COOLANT AFT CROSS CONTAMINATION IN THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR.

MY PATHFINDER BROKE DOWN DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILING WHILE DRIVING. I WAS JUST PULLING INTO MY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AND HAD TO KILL AND RESTART THE TRUCK TO GET IT TO MAKE IT INTO THE DRIVEWAY. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY NISSAN, WHERE THERE'S A CRACK THAT ALLOWS THE RADIATOR COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID TO MIX, CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. THIS IS EXTREMELY WRONG THAT A CONSUMER MUST PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A KNOWN AND ACKNOWLEDGED FLAW IN THE MANUFACTURER'S DESIGN.

MY WIFE WAS TAKING THE KIDS TO SCHOOL AND WHILE DRIVING IN THE DROP OFF LINE HEARD A LOUD "THUNK". WE HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND PAY THE $99.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO FIND OUT THAT THE RADIATOR LEAKED COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH CAUSED TRANSMISSION FAILURE. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT NISSAN IS NOT ADDRESSING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS ACTIVATED, THE VEHICLE BARELY MOVED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS CROSS CONTAMINATION OF RADIATOR FLUID THAT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

AS MANY OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS FILED, MY TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED DAMAGED BY THE FLOW OF OTHER FLUIDS. WITHOUT WARNING, AFTER STARTING MY VEHICLE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE OFF, MY VEHICLE WOULD BARELY DRIVE, TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT.....O/D OFF LIGHT ONAND WOULD NOT GO OFF. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE MECHANIC I WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION AS WELL AS THE RADIATOR WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AS OTHER FLUIDS HAS FLOWED OVER INTO MY TRANSMISSION, THEREFORE DAMAGING IT.......SEEMINGLY THE WAY THE VEHICLE WAS BUILT.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2007 AS OUR 2ND NEW NISSAN .OUR FIRST WAS A 2005 FRONTIER WITH NO PROBLEMS AND NOW THIS. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IT SLIPS WHEN ACCELLERATING AND SOMTIMES WONT DOWN SHIFT PROPERLY. SO DUE TO THE PROBLEM I DID A WEB SEARCH AND FOUND THIS CRACKED TRANSMISSION LINE ALLOWING COOLANT LEAK IN TO THE TRANSMISSION, SO I CHECKED THE RESEVOUR AND RADIATOR AND BOTH HAD ATF CONTAMINATION. I THEN CALLED THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I COULD BE TALKING ABOUT. THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED IN LATE 2012 STATED THAT ALL DEALERS WERE NOTIFIED. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED AND NOW HAVE OVER 100,000 MILES ON MY PATHFINDER WHICH OPTS ME OUT OF ANYTHING. THIS IS REDICULOUS AND NISSAN NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE! THEY NEVER EVEN ADMITED THERE WAS A PROBLEM JUST OFFERED SOME EXTENDED WARRENTY COVERAGE ABSOLUTELY ABSURD! NOW IM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE I CANT EVEN DRIVE.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 PATHFINDER WITH MY 3 CHILDREN IN THE BACK WHEN THE TIRES SUDDENLY SEEMED TO BE SLIPPING. I WASN'T SURE WHAT WAS GOING ON UNTIL I WAS ON A BIG HILL AND CAR SUDDENLY WOULDN'T GO INTO GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION HAD BLOWN ON ME, ALMOST INSTANTANEOULSY WITH LITTLE TO NO WARNING SIGNS. THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS ON THE HILL AND LUCKILY NOBODY WAS BEHIND US. I HIT THE BREAKS AND STOPPED THE CAR. IT HAD TO BE TOWED AND I WAS STUNNED WHEN MY MECHANIC SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEAD AND IT WOULD COST AROUND 3K TO FIX! "THERE WAS ONLY 85K MILES ON THE CAR AND THE TRANSMISSION JUST BLOWS LIKE THAT," I ASKED HIM? HE TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM VERY COMMON WITH SOME NISSAN CARS. I IMMEDIATELY WENT ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN PATHFINDERS AND XTERRAS, DUE TO FAULT MANUFACTURING AND A LAWSUIT WAS BROUGHT UP AGAINST THEM (A FEW YEARS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED TO ME). I FEEL IT'S OUTRAGEOUS THAT THESE CARS CAN STILL BE SOLD BY THE DEALER (WE BOUGHT IT USED WITH 60K MILES ON IT) WITHOUT SOME SORT OF WARNING LABEL ON IT. THANK GOD MY KIDS DIDN'T GET HURT SOMEHOW, BECAUSE IT WAS QUITE A HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILS SUDDENLY AT THE TOP OF A BIG, LONG HILL! IF MY KIDS HAD GOTTEN HURT, I PROBABLY COULD HAVE SUED THEM FOR A BILLION DOLLARS, BUT SINCE I ACTED QUICKLY, NOBODY WAS HURT, AND THUS, NOBODY AT NISSAN SEEMED TO CARE WHEN I COMPLAINED. THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR FAULT MANUFACTURING! NO CAR'S TRANSMISSIONS SUDDENLY BREAK DOWN FOR NO APPARENT REASON WITH LESS THAN 90K MILES ON IT!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE RPMS INCREASED RAPIDLY AND THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND FAILED TO SHIFT INTO THE REVERSE POSITION PROPERLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 144,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS FRACTURED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED, THE FUEL WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND THE ANTI-FREEZE HAD MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CAUSING IT TO LEAK ONTO THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

RADIATOR LEAKED ANTI-FREEZE INTO THE TRANSMISSION WHICH DESTROYED THE TRANSMISSION AND THE ENTIRE COOLANT SYSTEM. NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS BUT NEVER ISSUED A RECALL.

AS I WAS ABOUT TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE LOST POWER, I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO GET OFF THE ON RAMP AND BACK TO THE FRONTAGE ROAD BEFORE MY CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. TOOK TO A REPAIR STATION WHERE IT WAS FOUND THE RADIATOR FAILED AND ALLOWED FLUID TO MIX WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. TRANSMISSION IS A COMPLETE LOSS, ALTHOUGH THE COST OF REPAIR ($5200) IS TROUBLING, THE FACT THAT MOMENTS LATER MY FAMILY AND I COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR CAUSED SOMEONE ELSE TO BE INJURED IS THE BIGGER ISSUE. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS DEFECT AND FEEL THE NHTSA SHOULD TAKE A BETTER LOOK INTO MAKING THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. AT SOME POINT SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE FROM THIS. NISSAN HAS MADE A VERY UN-REASONABLE ATTEMPT TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30-35 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE AS THE VEHICLE MOVED UP AND DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE BRAKES AND ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER STARTED SLIPPING SO I HAD IT LOOKED AT AND FOUND OUT THE COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE 118,000 MILES ON IT AND UNFORTUNATELY IT LOOKS LIKE I AM OUT OF LUCK. I AN VERY DISAPPOINTED IN NISSAN SINCE THEY KNOW THE FAILURE DOES NOT OCCUR UNTIL ABOUT 90,000 MILES.

FOUND OUT THAT MY RADIATOR HAD A FAILURE AND A TRANSMISSION HOSE CRACKED INSIDE THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID ALL MIXED UP TO INVADED BOTH THE MOTOR COOLING SYSTEM AND THE TRANSMISSION.. DONT WANT TO GO IN GEAR WHEN TURNING AND IT MAKE THIS RUMBLING NOSE WHEN YOU DRIVING IT

CAR HAD BEGUN SHUTTERING AND ENGINE WOULD REV REAL FAST. ON PARTICULAR DAY CAR ACTUALLY QUIT WORKING FOR GOOD, HUSBAND HAD PULLED INTO PARKING SPACE BECAUSE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND FROM THAT POINT FORWARD THE CAR WILL NOT CRANK. WHEN CAR FIRST STARTED SHUTTERING AND REVVING, CAR WAS TAKEN TO TRANSMISSION BUSINESS AND THERE WERE SEVERAL CARS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL (NOT CERTAIN THAT ALL WERE OF SAME YEAR) WAITING TO HAVE TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED BECAUSE COOLANT HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND GRADUALLY KILLED THEM. WORKER AT TRANSMISSION SHOP KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS GOING ON WHEN HUSBAND EXPLAINED WHAT THE CAR WAS DOING, AND SAID THERE WERE MANY PEOPLE WHO HAD HAD THE SAME COMPLAINT.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN THE TRUCK STARTED TO OVER HEAT AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP OUT OF OVER DRIVE. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED AT AN AUTO PARTS STORE. I PULLED THE TRANSMISSION DIP STICK. IT WAS MILKY. I ALSO FOUND THE COOLANT OVERFLOW WAS BUBBLING OUT A MIX OF MILKY FLUIDS. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL GARAGE AND THEY EXPLAINED THE ISSUE. THE RADIATOR HAD FAILED AND BLEW APART INSIDE, WHICH CREATED AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION LINE INSIDE THE RADIATOR. THE COOLANT MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE GARAGE REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THIS COST ME $650. THE TRANSMISSION WASN'T RIGHT FROM THIS POINT ON. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I HAVE REPLACED THE RADIATOR THIS TIME MYSELF AND TOOK IT TO THE GARAGE TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED. AT THIS POINT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS INTO EVERY GEAR AND WILL CONTINUOUSLY SLIP IF ITS IN OVERDRIVE. THE CAR IS UN DRIVABLE AND HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW. TRANSMISSIONS FOR THIS CAR ARE OVER $2500 AND I JUST CANT AFFORD TO PUT ONE INTO IT

ON JULY 31, 2015 MY CAR JERKED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. BY THE TIME I GOT IT TO THE SHOP (ABOUT 45 MIN LATER) IT WAS HAVING TROUBLE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. WHEN I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF WE COULD NOT GET IT RESTARTED. THE SHOP SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THE COMPUTER. I HAD IT TOWED TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND MY CAR HAD THE SAME ISSUE AS OTHER NISSANS. THE COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION RESULTING IN THE COMPUTER SHORTING OUT. I NOW HAVE TO PAY $4,200 TO HAVE THE RADIATOR REPLACED, THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT AND THE ENGINE FLUSHED. IF NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL FOR THIS. FROM WHAT I AM READING ONLINE THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES WITH THIS ISSUE.

MY SUV WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A DEFECTIVE RADIATOR AND NOW HAS ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION COOLER PIPES SPLITTING CAUSING CROSS CONTAMINATION BETWEEN THE RADIATOR COOLANT & TRANSMISSION FLUID. WHICH RESULTED IN A FAILURE TO THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE CROSS CONTAMINATION HAD TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION, TRANSMISSION COOLER HOSES & RADIATOR REPLACED. READING MULTIPLE SITES IT APPEARS NISSAN KNOW ABOUT THE DEFECT AND DIDN'T WARN IS CUSTOMERS, EVEN WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO GET SERVICED AT THE NISSAN DEALERS. THIS IS BAD BUSINESS AND CUSTOMERS SHOULD NOT BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. I HOPE THE PERSON READING THIS HAS THE COURAGE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. IT APPEARS THAT CORPORATIONS HAVE THE POWER. THANK YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION EXHIBITED SEVERE VIBRATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION TWICE. THE FAILURE CONTINUED AFTER THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE MECHANIC RECOMMENDED THAT THE TRANSMISSION BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

TRANSMISSION FAILED DUE TO COOLANT LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION. HAD MY WHOLE FAMILY WHEN TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT DON'T WANT TO IMAGE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS GOING FASTER THAN 35 MPH. COST TO REPAIR $5800. DANGEROUSLY UNACCEPTABLE.

AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY IT STARTED TO SHUDDER AND SHAKE AND THEN FINALLY COMPLETELY TURNED OFF ON THE HIGHWAY. ONCE I GOT IT STARTED AGAIN IT WOULD ONLY GO ABOUT 20MPH I WAS ABLE TO MOVE OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND EXIT THE HIGHWAY. ONCE WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD US THAT THE RADIATOR HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND ALSO THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE TWO CATALYCTIC CONVERTERS. THE TOTAL REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS WOULD COST ME $8000 AS I WOULD ALSO NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. WE REPLACED THE RADIATOR BUT OF COURSE THAT IS ONLY HALF THE PROBLEM. I STILL OWE ABOUT $13K ON THE VEHICLE, HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR 8 MONTHS AND AM NOW STUCK BECAUSE I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND I CANT GET RID OF THE TRUCK KNOWING THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING INTO THE RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT IT WAS MOTOR OIL LEAKING INTO THE RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

07 PATHFINDER (PF) AUTO, 05/30/15 CAME OUT TO FIND PF LEAKING. RADIATOR LEAKING AN ODD FLUID, OPENED TRANSMISSION CAP AND SIMILAR FLUID BUBBLED OUT. DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR, LOOKED ONLINE/CALLED MECHANIC. FINALLY CALLED A NISSAN DEALER AND 2 TRANSMISSION PLACES, AND AS SOON AS I SAID OUR COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID ARE FROTHY & CHOCOLATE MILK LIKE EVERY PLACE KNEW WE NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR, ETC. A YEAR AGO I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AT A NON-NISSAN DEALERSHIP, AND BROUGHT IT BACK THEN BECAUSE I NOTICED A LAG/SHUTTER IN THE SHIFTING SOMETIMES. THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, SAID IT WAS JUST A FUNCTION OF THE OVERDRIVE, AND NOT AN ISSUE. I HAVE CONTINUED TO HAVE A LAG/SHUTTER OCCASIONALLY, BUT I HAVE THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. I WAS NEVER INFORMED THAT MY TRANSMISSION COULD BE COMPROMISED BC OF THE RADIATOR ISSUE, & NEVER THOUGHT THE CAR TO BE A DANGER TO ANYONE. MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND 2015, LESS THAN A WEEK BEFORE THE LEAK REFERENCED ABOVE, I HAD MY ENTIRE FAMILY IN THE CAR (SISTER & HER HUSBAND & THEIR 9 MONTH OLD BABY, MY FATHER, MY BROTHER & HIS 5 MONTHS PREGNANT WIFE) & NOTICED THE CAR WAS HAVING MORE THAN NORMAL SHIFTING TROUBLED & A LONGER LAG. WE WERE MAKING OUR ANNUAL TRIP TO THE BOURNE MASSACHUSETTS VETERANS CEMETERY MEMORIAL DAY EVENT, WHICH REQUIRES CROSSING THE BOURNE BRIDGE AND NAVIGATING SEVERAL BUSY ROTARIES. LOOKING ONLINE AT OTHER PERSONS EXPERIENCES, I KNOW I AM LUCKY THAT THIS RADIATOR/TRANS ISSUE MANIFESTED IN THE SAFETY OF MY DRIVEWAY WITH NO ONE IN THE VEHICLE. WHY IS NISSAN SO LAX TO COMMUNICATE TO OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES THAT THERE IS A HIGH LIKELIHOOD THAT YOUR TRANSMISSION WILL BE COMPROMISED AND THAT CERTAIN INSPECTIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT ON A REGULAR BASIS TO MAKE SURE NOTHING HAPPENS TO YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES? IF DOESNT TELL ME, HOW AM I AND OTHERS SUPPOSED TO KNOW TO BE CONCERNED WITH CERTAIN WARNING SIGNS?

RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSING PERMANENT TRANSMISSION FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS AND THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND THE RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

I WAS JUST INFORMED BY A FELLOW NISSAN OWNER ABOUT HER TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. WHY WAS I NOT NOTIFIED BY NISSAN THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE? NO CARD, LETTER... NOTHING! I WOULD HAVE HAD MY CAR INSPECTED FOR DEFECT IF I KNEW!!

BEGINNING IN NOVEMBER 2014, THE HEATER WOULD NOT BLOW OUT WARM OR HOT AIR IF THE CAR WAS NOT TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE. AT SPEEDS BELOW 50MPG, ONLY COOL OR COLD AIR WOULD BLOW OUT OF THE HEATER VENTS AND AT AN IDLE, ONLY COLD AIR WOULD BE EMITTED. THE RADIATOR WAS FLUSHED THREE TIMES IN AN EFFORT TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM. OUR MECHANIC THOUGHT THERE COULD BE A BLOCKAGE IN THE LINE DUE TO THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. ONCE FLUSHED, THE HEAT WOULD WORK FOR ABOUT 45 DAYS. THERE WERE MONTHS OF MY DRIVING TO WORK WITHOUT ANY REAL HEAT IN THE WINTER OF 2014. AFTER FLUID CHANGES AND RADIATOR FLUSHES, THE 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER NOW HAS 111,000 MILES ON IT. THE AIR CONDITIONING IS WORKING THIS SUMMER, BUT TOWARDS THE END OF MAY 2015, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED "JUMPING". THIS USUALLY OCCURS AROUND 40-45 MPH. THE ENGINE WILL REV AT A HIGH RPM WHILE TRAVELING DOWN AN INCLINE OR A HILL. THE TRANSMISSION FEELS AS THOUGH IT IS "GOING OUT" AND UPON READING REVIEWS ON YOUR SITE, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN YOU CAN HEAR THE TRANSMISSION "CLUNK" INTO GEAR WHEN STARTING OR STOPPING THE ENGINE.

WE PURCHASED OUR 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER ON MAY 21 OF THIS YEAR. TODAY MAKES 39 DAYS WE'VE HAD IT. ON THE 32 DAY WE NOTICED IT WAS HAVING SOME ROUGHNESS IN THE TRANSMISSION WHEN CHANGING GEARS. IT FELT LIKE WE WERE RUNNING OVER REALLY ROUGH ROADS OR RUMBLE STRIPS. IT CONTINUED TO GET WORSE THE LONGER WE DROVE IT. THEN AROUND A WEEK AGO I PUT IT IN REVERSE AND IT CONTINUED TO ROLL FORWARD. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE HOME TO INFORM MY HUSBAND. WHEN HE CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IT APPEARED TO BE EMPTY. WHEN HE FURTHER CHECKED IT AND CLEANED THE DIP STICK IT WAS A TANISH COLORED LIQUID THAT WAS SHOWING UP. I WENT TO GOOGLE AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHERS WITH THIS SAME OR SIMILAR VEHICLE WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, AND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A LEAK IN A RADIATOR HOSE THAT RUNS THRU THE TRANSMISSION AND LEAKS FLUIDS BACK AND FORTH. MY HUSBAND WENT TO CHECK THE RADIATOR AND SURE ENOUGH THERE IS TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE RADIATOR AND IT APPEARED IN THE ENGINE AS WELL. SO NOW WE HAVE TRANSMISSION FLUID, WATER, AND ANTIFREEZE IN OUR TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR AND ENGINE. NISSAN NEEDS TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. ITS CLEAR THAT THIS IS A FLAW IN THEIR WORKMANSHIP. WE WERE TOLD BY NISSAN TO BRING OUR PATHFINDER IN FOR AN EVALUATION AND BE PREPARED TO PAY 2,500.00 DOLLARS. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE ARE PAYING A PAYMENT ALREADY ON A VEHICLE WE HAVE HAD FOR ONE MONTH. WE CANT AFFORD THIS KIND OF REPAIR. SO NOW WERE STUCK WITH A CAR WE CANT EVEN DRIVE.....UPDATED 09/03/15 *BF

TOWED MY CAR TO THE LOCAL SHOP AND FOUND OUT THAT THE RADIATOR HAS AN INTERNAL CRACK AND LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. BURNED OUT THE TCM AND NOW I AM GOING TO HAVE TO PAY MORE THAN $5000 TO GET IT FIXED. CALLED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS AT ALL.

2007 NISSIAN PATHFINDER -RADIATOR LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION, CAUSING FAILURE TO TRANSMISSION. REPLACED RADIATOR, ALL FLUIDS AND FLUSHED OUT SECONDARY RADIATOR AND RESERVOUR AND NEW THERMOSTAT, FLUSHED OUT TRANSMISSION FLUIDS. NOW NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION, WHICH IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE PART OF THE JOB!

ONSET OF ISSUE WAS INSPECTION TO DETERMINE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT. CODE P0850 - INDICATED PARK/NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH INPUT CIRCUIT. SWITCH REPLACED AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT BACK ON WITHIN 48 HOURS. RETURNED ADDITIONAL CODES RELATED TO TRANSMISSION. CONCURRENTLY THE VEHICLE WAS STUMBLING AT CERTAIN SPEED/RPM WITH RUMBLING NOISE IN DRIVETRAIN AND HESITATION DURING ACCELLERATION.

THE DEALER I WORK FOR HAD CHECKED MY VEHICLE SINCE IT HAS BEEN LEAKING PINK FLUID FROM MY ENGINE TURNS OUT THEY FOUND ON MY 20007 NISSAN PATHFINDER A COOLANT IN TRANSMISSION MEANING THERE IS AN INTERNAL TRANSMISSION CROSS CONTAMINATION COOLER FAILURE. BOTTOM LINE THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND FIXED ME HOSES FOR THE POWER STEERING FLUID COSTING ME OVER $5300.00 WITH A HUGE DEALERSHIP. I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 16, 2015 FROM A PRIVATE DEALER AND NOW I AM STUCK WITH A HUGE BILL TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE A AWARE OF NATIONALLY. THIS VEHICLE'S CARFAX IS AWESOME AND NO ENGINE ISSUES WHICH I MADE IT MY BUSINESS TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS OKAY WITH THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF THIS...WHY DO I HAVE SUFFER BEING WITHOUT A CAR AGAIN AS A SINGLE MOTHER OF THREE THIS IS NOT RIGHT.

I'M HERE TO SUBMIT A COMPLAINT AGAINST NISSAN I HAD TO PAID 3,000 IN REPAIRS FOR THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMITION BECAUSE THE RADIATOR BRAKES A CERTAIN MILEAGE AND THE FLUID MIXES WITH THE TRANSMITION FLUID CAUSING THE TRANSMITION FAILURE,THIS IS A PROBLEM NISSAN HAS TO ADDRESS AND RECALL THOSE CARS SO THE OWNERS WONT HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGE,I'M AWARE THAT MANY OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE,THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BUT I SEEN VERY LITTLE HELP,I WOULD LIKE TO DO ANYTHING POSIBLE IN ORDER TO GET THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED.

THE DEALER FOUND ON MY 20007 NISSAN PATHFINDER A COOLANT IN TRANSMISSION AND TRANS FLUID IN RADIATOR WHICH MEANS THERE IS A CROSS CONTAMINATION AND AN INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COOLER FAILURE. BOTTOM LINE THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR COSTING ME OVER $5300.00. IN RESEARCHING CHEAPER PLACES, I CAME ABOUT WITH A LAW SUIT ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE AGAINST NISSAN. I ALSO FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS FROM SEVERAL PEOPLE AND THE DEALERS ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY MY LOCAL MECHANIC THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. I DON'T KNOW WHY NISSAN DIDN'T OFFER A RECALL ON THE XTERRAS, AND PATHFINDERS AND HELP PEOPLE LIKE ME, NOT SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON THESE VEHICLES. I AM STILL PAYING FOR THIS CAR, HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR LESS THAN 3 YEARS AND BOUGHT IT PRE OWNED. I BROUGHT IT SEVERAL TIMES TO HUNTINGTON BEACH DEALER IN CA, FOR THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND NOT EVEN ONCE, I WAS OFFERED TO EXTEND MY WARRANTY, OR OFFERED TO LOOK AT MY RADIATOR AND FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE IT BECAME A BIG ISSUE. I CONTACTED HEADQUARTERS AND I WAS TOLD I DON'T QUALIFY FOR THE "EXTENDED WARRANTY" IT ENDS AT 100K MILES AND MY CAR IS OVER 124K MILES. ALSO, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $3K OF MY MONEY BEFORE THE DEALER WOULD COVER ANY MAJOR REPAIRS... REALLY???? IS THIS HELPING OUT SOMEONE? A LOT OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS OWN NISSANS AND I HAVE SPREAD THE WORD OF HOW BAD THESE CARS ARE, AND WHEN WE LOOK FOR HELP, THEY SLAM THE DOOR AT OUR FACES. THIS IS NOT RIGHT, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED AND NISSAN IS MAKING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FROM HARD WORKING PEOPLE LIKE ME, FIXING PROBLEMS, THEY SHOULD HAVE FIXED IN THE FIRST PLACE. I HAVE A 6 YEAR OLD AND PREGNANT NOW, AND COMMUTE OVER 70 MILES BACK AND FORTH EVERY DAY, THEY ARE LUCKY MY CAR DIDN'T STOP ON THE FREEWAY AND CAUSED A BIG ACCIDENT.I WOULD BE SUING THEM NOW.

MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CONTINUE TO BLINK, GOT IT CHECK BY A NISSAN DEALER, THEY INFORM ME ITS A AIRBAG CABLE AND I FEEL ITS A DEFECT IN THE AIR BAR. THE DEALER WANT ME TO PAY THE COST. PLEASE INFORM

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE A YEAR AGO AT 79,000 MILES. IN JANUARY OF 2015, I HIT THE 100,000 MILE MARK AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. LOUD AND JERKY SHIFTING AND SMELLING FOUL IN THE AIR CONDITIONER. NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE AND SINCE I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, (100,000 MILES) THAT THEY WEREN'T LIABLE. HE SAID I COULD DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT SHOULDN'T BREAK DOWN FOR ANOTHER FEW THOUSAND MILES. SO I JUST PARKED IT. I WOULD ONLY DRIVE IT IF I ABSOLUTELY HAD NO OTHER CHOICE. FRIDAY, MAY 15 2015 I WAS COMING HOME FROM A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY BROKE DOWN. THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AND I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR WITH ME. AT 40 MPH, THE RPM WAS AT ALMOST 5,000. I PULLED OVER TO CALL MY HUSBAND AND WHEN WE PUT IT IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE, IT WOULDN'T GO INTO REVERSE. I HAD TO TOW IT HOME AND IT'S COMPLETELY BROKEN DOWN. I DON'T HAVE 4,000 TO SPEND ON A TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR.

THE VEHICLE HAD TRANSMISSION TROUBLES AND WAS TAKEN INTO A REPAIR FACILITY. THERE IS A CRACK IN THE RADIATOR WHICH HAS CAUSED ANTIFREEZE TO GET INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE RADIATOR. CAR STUTTERS AND JUMPS AND IS VERY SCARY TO DRIVE. WILL COST OVER $4500 TO REPAIR.

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER THAT STARTED MAKING LOUD RUMBLING NOISES WHILE DRIVING. WE REPLACED THE RADIATOR AFTER THE CAR OVER HEATED AND A MILKY SUBSTANCE LEAKED. WE'VE HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED TWICE. WE WERE TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT THE RADIATOR LIQUID MIXED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTING TO FIND THAT THERE ARE SO MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND THAT NISSAN IS DOING NOTHING TO HELP.

NOTICED THE RED AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHING. TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND THEY INFORMED ME OF A RECALL NOTICE ON THE FRONT CRASH ZONE SENSOR AND ADVISED ME TO CONTACT MY DEALERSHIP. I'M WONDERING HOW TO PROCEED WITH REPAIR/REPLACEMENT.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

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.

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.

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 BOARD. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IF YOU COULD FURTHER INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER AND CONTACT ME AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO HAVE AVOIDED SEVERAL CLOSE ACCIDENTS DURING WHICH CASE MY FAMILY WAS ON BOARD THE VEHICLE. MYSELF, MY FAMILY, OR COUNTLESS OTHER LIVES MAY NOT BE AS FORTUNATE IF THIS MATTER IS NOT PROMPTLY RESEARCHED AND RESOLVED.

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 ANOTHER CAR. WHY IS THE CONSUMER RESPONSIBLE FOR A KNOWN DEFECT? ISN'T A WARRANTY FOR PARTS THAT ARE MANUFACTURED CORRECTLY? *TR

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 EXACTLY? SOUNDS LIKE NISSAN DEFINITELY GOT THE BIGGER END OF THE STICK. WHEN IT ALL BOILS DOWN, I'M GUESSING THEY ARE OUT VERY LITTLE, IF ANY, MONEY AT ALL. 3. WHAT HAPPENED TO CUSTOMER SERVICE? THIS ISN'T JUST BAD SERVICE - IT'S BAD BUSINESS. IT'S ABSURD THAT CAR COMPANIES ARE ALLOWED TO SELL FAULTY VEHICLES WITHOUT REPERCUSSION. *TR

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND IDLED HIGHLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT RADIATOR FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

HAVE EXPERIENCES SHUDDER WHILE DRIVING OVER LAST FEW MONTHS. ON DATE OF INCIDENT, I PULLED OVER AFTER ONE SUCH SHUDDER, THEN CONTINUED AND HAD NO TORQUE BUT WAS ABLE TO PROCEED, AS IF LOWER GEARS WERE NO LONGER WORKING. THIS ISSUE CONTINUED WHILE ACCELERATING AFTER EVERY STOP LIGHT AND SIGN. GOT HOME (WITH SICK CHILD) AND SHUT DOWN VEHICLE. TRIED TO START 30 MINUTES LATER AND WOULD NOT RESTART. TOWED TO MECHANIC. *TR

STARTED WITH A CLICKING NOISE THEN STARTED HIGH GEAR STARTED SHIMMING NOW STUCK IN HIGH GEAR & HAVE ANTIFREEZE IN TRANSMISSION. *TR

RADIATOR CRACKED AND MIXING OF COOLANT WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID. RADIATOR NEEDED REPLACED. *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

TRANSMISSION ON THE PATHFINDER WAS VERY ROUGH SHIFTING FROM 3RD TO 4TH GEAR. WE RETURNED IT TO A DEALER, WHO SAID IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. IT SEEMS THAT THIS HAS BEEN A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, AND IT SEEMED THE COMPANY SHOULD HAVE DONE MORE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM THAN JUST HOPING THE NEWEST EXTENDED WARRANTIES RAN OUT BEFORE THE CARS NEEDED REPAIRS. *TR

DISCOVERED A SMALL POOL OF PURPLE LIQUID UNDER FRONT LEFT TIRE OF MY 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER IN THE GARAGE YESTERDAY. THOUGHT THAT MUST NOT BE GOOD, SO I STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE. BEHOLD, DISCOVERED IT WAS MOST LIKELY A RADIATOR LEAK AND MOST LIKELY LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION AS WELL. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TODAY, AND MY CONCERNS WERE CONFIRMED. RADIATOR REPLACEMENT = $800. TRANSMISSION IS WORKING NORMALLY RIGHT NOW, BUT FROM WHAT I CAN TELL THE DAMAGE MAY ALREADY BE DONE AND ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE +$4000. THE ISSUE I HAVE WITH THIS WHOLE SITUATION IS NISSAN IS VERY AWARE OF THIS DEFECT, YET DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL. ALL THEY DID WAS EXTEND RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION WARRANTY. THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE BEING OVER 100K MILES. ALL NISSAN HAD TO DO WAS ISSUE A RECALL, FIX THE DEFECTIVE RADIATOR (PROBABLY A $500 FIX FOR THEM) INSTEAD, THEY IGNORED IT, AND THE CUSTOMER IS STUCK WITH A $5000 FIX THEY DID NOT EVEN SEE COMING DUE TO THEM NOT NOTIFYING US ABOUT IT. I AM NOT PLEASED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO PROPERLY MEASURE THE FUEL LEVELS IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL, IT WOULD INDICATE THAT IT WAS EMPTY AND WHEN THE TANK WAS EMPTY IT INDICATED THAT IT WAS FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT ASSOCIATED TO ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

FLUID LEAKED FROM THE RADIATOR INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WE WERE INTERMITTENTLY LOSING POWER IN THE MOUNTAINS LEADING TO UNSAFE CONDITIONS DUE TO MISMATCHED SPEEDS COMPARED TO THE SURROUNDING TRAFFIC. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 PATHFINDER WITH 79,541 MILE I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ALOT OF PEOPLE ON THIS SITE HAS WITH THE RADIATOR LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A OIL CHANGE AND THEY TOLD ME I HAVE A RADIATOR CREAK THAT LEAKING INTO MY TRANSMISSION AND ITS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE I CANT DRIVE IT AT ALL AND THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT HAS A MIX OF COLOR LIKE BROWN SO THEY TOLD ME THEY GOING TO ORDER THE PART I ASK THEM FOR A RENTAL CAR BECAUSE I WAS GOING ON VACATION UNTIL MY TRUCK GET FIX THEY SAID THEY WAS GOING TO TRY TO GET ME ONE THAT WAS ON JUNE 30TH AND ON THURSDAY JULY 3TH THEY CALL ME TO PICK UP MY TRUCK BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT DIDN'T COME ON SO THEY WANT ME TO DRIVE IT UNTIL THE ENGINE LIGHT GO ON, REMEMBER A FEW DAYS AGO THEY TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE I THINK THEY WANT ME TO DRIVE SO IT CAN GO OVER THE 8 YEARS / 80,000 MILE WARRANTY AND PAY A COPAY OF $2,500 AND I REALLY DON'T HAVE THAT MONEY AND I'M STILL PAYING FOR THE TRUCK THEY WANT ME TO TAKE IT OUT OF THEY DEALERSHIP LIKE THAT, I'M SCARE TO DRIVE IT I HAVE A DAUGHTER AND MY DOG I TAKE WITH ME AND SCARE SOMETHING ITS GOING TO HAPPEN TO US PLEASE HELP ME ANYONE THANK YOU *TR

I HAD 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS AND WENT TO FILL UP. AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK, I TURNED ON THE CAR, AT WHICH POINT THE NEEDLE DID NOT REGISTER THE FULL TANK. AFTER DRIVING A COUPLE MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A FUEL SENDING UNIT/SENSOR AND THAT IT WAS NO LONGER COVERED. AFTER RETURNING HOME AND DOING RESEARCH, I WENT ONLINE TO X.NISSANHELP.COM AFTER PERFORMING A SEARCH, I CAME ACROSS MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. APPARENTLY IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. IT SEEMS THAT SOMETHING IN THE UNIT IS FAULTY AND WILL CORRODE OVER TIME. THERE IS A GENERAL CONSENSUS THAT EVERYONE WHO IS HAVING THE PROBLEM IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR OVER 2 YRS. IF THIS PROBLEM EXISTED IN PREVIOUS MODELS, AND IT WAS RECALLED, THE 2005-2007 XTERRAS, FRONTIERS, AND PATHFINDERS SHOULD GET THIS FIXED AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER!! WHY WAIT FOR ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLE DEATHS, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE PROBLEM LIES IN AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE VEHICLE. COST OF REPAIR RANGES FROM $300-600." *TR

WHEN THE CAR REACHES SPEED OF 45 MPH, IT BEGINS TO JERK AND VIBRATE AND A LOUD NOISE STARTS. IF I PRESS THE OVERDRIVE BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF, THE CAR SMOOTHES OUT. IF I DO NOT TURN THE OVERDRIVE OFF, ONCE I LOWER SPEED OR ACCELERATE, IT STOPS VIBRATING. DIAGNOSIS FROM MECHANIC IS COOLANT HAS LEAKED INTO MY TRANSMISSION FLUID. CAR SHOULD HAVE NEW RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION PUT IN. *TR

I AM A VERY LOYAL NISSAN/PATHFINDER OWNER. I'M ON MY SECOND PATHFINDER AND ALWAYS HAVE MY BELOVED 2007 SERVICED REGULARLY AT THE PUYALLUP NISSAN DEALERSHIP. BECAUSE I RELY ON MY VEHICLE FOR WORK, I MAKE SURE TO KEEP IT CURRENT WITH ALL RECOMMENDED SERVICES OVER THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. UNTIL RECENTLY, IVE BEEN AN EXTREMELY SATISFIED PATHFINDER OWNER. NOW, I AM QUITE UPSET THAT A KNOWN DEFECTIVE RADIATOR NOTICE I RECEIVED APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO, ADVISED TO DO NOTHING IF EXPERIENCING NO PROBLEMS, BUT NOW THAT I'M OVER THE LIMIT OF 100K MILES (115K), AND EXPERIENCING THE KNOWN RADIATOR DEFECT ISSUE, I AM NOW ON THE HOOK FOR THE ENTIRE REPAIR COST ($5000). I'VE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE WHICH CAN BE SUMMARIZED AT HTTP://WWW.NISSANPROBLEMS.COM/PROBLEMS/TRANSMISSION.SHTML WHAT DOES THE MILES MATTER? DOES NISSAN'S OBLIGATION TO THEIR PRODUCT AND CUSTOMER DISAPPEAR AFTER 100K MILES? WHY DIDN'T NISSAN RECOMMEND REPLACING THE RADIATORS, AS A PREVENTATIVE MEASURE? FURTHER RESEARCH OF TESTIMONIALS FROM OTHER NISSAN OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE, SUGGESTS THAT THE RADIATOR PROBLEM SEEMED TO TYPICALLY OCCUR AFTER 100,000 MILES ANYWAYS. SO HOW IS IT THAT NISSAN IS OK WITH LEAVING THEIR CUSTOMER HOLDING ON TO THE (CRUD) END OF THE STICK? I SURE HOPE I AM REIMBURSED FOR THE HEFTY BILL SOME WAY SOME DAY. (I'VE NOT YET PULLED THE TRIGGER ON HAVING THE REPAIRS DONE, AS I HAVE BEEN CONTEMPLATING TRADING IN AND GIVING THE PROBLEM BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT HOW WILL THIS AFFECT THE TRADE IN VALUE, AND IF NISSAN'S PAST REPUTATION IS DIMINISHING, WHY DO I WANT TO TRADE IN FOR ANOTHER NISSAN. MY PASSION FOR PATHFINDERS HAS SUDDENLY DROPPED CONSIDERABLY...TIME FOR A NEW BRAND MAYBE.....:-((((( VERY DISGRUNTLED PATHFINDER OWNER, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILED, HAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR, MOTHERBOARD FOR COMPUTER INSIDE TRANSMISSION AND HAD TO HAVE LOCKSMITH REPROGRAM SECURITY SYSTEM. *TR

CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND IT WAS WHITE MILKY. HAD IT CHECKED ITS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION COOLER INSIDE THE RADIATOR CRACKING AND LETTING ANTIFREEZE GET INTO TRANSMISSION AND IT DESTROYS IT AND IT'S UP TO $5000 TO FIX AND LOTS OF LOST TIME AND NISSAN ISN'T DOING A THING ABOUT IT. AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WITH SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN SHOULD FIX THIS AT NO COST TO THE OWNER !!!!!!!! *TR

FUEL GAUGE WAS EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, TO WHERE WHEN I FILLED IT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD DROP TO ZERO/EMPTY. I TOOK IT INTO THE NISSAN DEALER (SANDY SANDSING IN PENSACOLA, FL) AND THEY TOLD ME THE ISSUE/RECALL WAS LIMITED TO THE ALTIMA AND THE XTERRA ONLY AND NOT MY PATHFINDER. AT 38000 MILES THE FUEL GAUGE ISSUE WAS CONSTANT, BUT IT WAS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. FINALLY, NISSAN ISSUED A RECALL AND I WAS UNABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE MY MILEAGE WAS OVER THEIR LIMIT. I AM NOT ASKING TO HAVE THIS SENSOR REPLACED JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT, IT IS INOPERABLE. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE TO PAY ME FOR THE POOR GAS MILEAGE I GET FROM HAVING TO CONSTANTLY DRIVE WITH A FULL FUEL TANK; BECAUSE THE GAS GAUGE WAS UNRELIABLE. I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN. *TR

RADIATOR FLUID MIXED WITH MY TRANSMISSION FLUID, MAKING THE CAR UNDRIVEABLE. AT 65 MPH THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW AS THE RPM'S WERE INCREASING. THE VEHICLE THEN SLOWED TO ONLY 40MPH, AND WE BARELY GOT THE CAR OFF THE HWY. THEN, EVENTHOUGH IN DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE; LIKE IT WAS PUT IN NEUTRAL. LOOKED UP ISSUE ONLINE, AND IT IS ANOTHER KNOWN NISSAN RECALL; BUT THEY LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF MILES THAT YOU CAN HAVE TO RECEIVE ANY REIMBURSEMENT. BASICALLY, I WILL GET NO RELIEF FOR THIS KNOWN DEFECT. I DID GET A RECALL NOTICE BUT MY VEHICLE WAS HAVING NO ISSUES AT THAT TIME, AND NOW AT 18 MONTHS LATER MY VEHICLE IS TOAST. I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN. *TR

TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS THAT EVERYBODY IS COMPLAINING ABOUT HAS HIT ME AS WELL. THIS IS REALLY BAD THAT NISSAN IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT. WHAT IS THERE TO INVESTIGATE? I DON'T UNDERSTAND, ARE ALL OF THESE PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR MIND? THIS MUST BE RECALLED AND RECALLED FAST. *JS

I PURCHASED MY PATHFINDER USED. WITH 78,000 MILES AND WITHIN 10 DAYS OF HAVING IT THE TRANSMISSION DROPPED COMPLETELY. WELL WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND DEMANDED THEY MAKE RIGHT..THEY PAID OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY NEVER PAID FOR OUR RENTAL CAR AND NEVER BOTHERED TO TELL US THERE WAS A DEFECT ON MY VEHICLE! WE WERE DRIVING AND NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AND THE TRUCK VIBRATING VERY LOUD AND VIGOROUSLY WHEN GOING INTO 3RD OR 4TH GEAR AT AROUND 50 MPH. BUT THEY HAD TOLD ME IT WAS MY IMAGINATION. WELL 10 DAYS FROM THE DAY I DROVE IT HOME I GUESS IT WASN'T JUST MY IMAGINATION BECAUSE WE LOST ALL ACCELERATION POWER. THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING BUT WOULDN'T NOT MOVE. HERE I AM A YEAR LATER GOOGLING WHY MY TRUCK KEEPS SCREWING UP AND BOY WHAT DO I FIND???? I'M VERY LIVID AND CAN'T BELIEVE THAT NISSAN HAS DECIDED TO FATTEN THEIR WALLETS INSTEAD OF HELPING IT'S CONSUMERS AND MAKING THINGS RIGHT. I HAD A NEW TRANSMISSION AND NEW RADIATOR PUT IN. AND A YEAR LATER I'M FIGHTING THE SAME PROBLEM ALL OVER AGAIN. IF I'M IDLE OR STAY IN ONE SPOT FOR A FEW MINUTES MY TRUCK IS OVER HEATING AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT IT'S SPEWING COOLANT OUT THE RESERVOIR. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES AND NO ONE GIVES A CRAP! I WAS TOLD IT WAS AN AIR POCKET AND I'M NOT STUPID ESPECIALLY NOW THAT I'M READING ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS. THIS MAKES ME WONDER HOW THE GOVERNMENT CAN ALLOW THIS TO CONTINUE GOING ON..I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT NO HELP IS AVAILABLE TO US AND WE ARE BEING SCREWED ROYALLY AND OUR LIVES IN DANGER BECAUSE WE ARE FORCED TO DRIVE A DANGEROUS NON RELIABLE VEHICLE!!!!!!! MAKE THINGS RIGHT NISSAN FIX OUR VEHICLES OR DO A RECALL AND GIVE US OUR MONEY FOR PUTTING US THROUGH [XXX].

AT 40 MPH THE VEHICLE WOULD SEEM LIKE IT UPSHIFTED TO A VERY HIGH GEAR AND THEN START TO VIBRATE REAL BAD. WE TOOK IT IN FOR AN ANALYSIS AND THEY TOLD US IMMEDIATELY THAT THE TWO FLUIDS HAD MIXED (TRANS AND COOLANT). *TR

MILKY SUBSTANCE APPEARED IN RADIATOR AND CAR SMOKED AND SMELLED. TOOK TO MECHANIC AND REPORTED FAILED COOLER CAUSING RADIATOR FLUID AND OIL TO MIX. RESULTED IN CRACKED HEADS AS ENGINE OVERHEATED. NOW TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED. LIKELY DUE TO ENGINE OVERHEATING. *TR

THE COOLANT HAS MIXED UP WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, AND IT IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH SHIFTING. I DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE,AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH NISSAN AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. IT SAYS THAT THERE A HOSE LEAK ISSUE INTO THE TRANSMISSION. NOW M CAR IS SITTING I N MY DRIVEWAY,DEAD. *TR

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE COOLANT FROM THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND VICE VERSA. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MY PARTICULAR MAKE/MODEL VEHICLE. *TR

TRANSMISSION STUTTERS BETWEEN 35-50 MPH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD PROVIDE AN ERRONEOUS EMPTY READING. A LOCAL MECHANIC PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC WHICH LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TRANSMISSION FLUID IS MIXING WITH RADIATOR FLUID. *TR

I PURCHASED A USED 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR MY DAUGHTER ON 12/28/13. LAST WEEK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SHE MADE AN APPOINTMENT, ARRIVED EARLY AND 5 HOURS LATER WAS TOLD THAT A SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND SUGGESTED THAT SHE TAKE IT TO A NISSAN DEALER AS THEY HAD EQUIPMENT SPECIFIC TO NISSAN VEHICLES AND HER WARRANTY COVERS THE WORK AT ANY DEALERSHIP. SHE ASKED IF THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND WAS TOLD YES. SHE DROVE TWO MILES TO A NISSAN DEALER SPENT ANOTHER 2 HOURS THERE WHILE THEY RAN THEIR OWN DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. THEY DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS CROSS CONTAMINATION IN THE RADIATOR. NOT ONLY DID HER RADIATOR NEED TO BE REPLACED BUT SO DID HER TRANSMISSION. SHE WAS FURTHER TOLD THAT HER VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE CALLED THE WARRANTY COMPANY WHO INDICATED THAT THE RADIATOR WASN'T COVERED AND THEREFORE THE TRANSMISSION WASN'T COVERED AS IT WAS CAUSED BY THE RADIATOR. MY DAUGHTER DROVE BACK TO AUTO NATION AGAIN AND ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE GENERAL MANAGER. SHE WAS TOLD HE WASN'T IN AND THE USED CAR SALES MANAGER WOULD SPEAK TO HER. I LEFT WORK AND WENT OVER TO HELP HER. I ALSO ASKED FOR THE GENERAL MANAGER, WAS ASKED WHAT IT WAS ABOUT, I SAID I WOULD PREFER SPEAKING DIRECTLY TO THE GM AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING AS MY DAUGHTER. THE USED CAR SALES MANAGER RELUCTANTLY AGREED TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION TWICE HE INDICATED THAT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. SHE PICKED UP THE SUV TODAY AND 2 BLOCKS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SHE WENT BACK TO AUTO NATION AND WAS TOLD BY THE USED CAR MANAGER THAT THERE WAS NO WAY HE WAS PAYING $3500 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. HE TOLD HER TO JUST DRIVE WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. THIS IS SO WRONG! TO SEND A 22 YEAR OLD OFF IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. THIS WAS APPARENTLY A KNOWN ISSUE ON THIS MAKE/MODEL & YEAR. NISSAN EVEN EXTENDED THE WARRANTIES BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE. *TR

CAR HAVING TROUBLE GETTING UP TO SPEED. NOW WILL NOT START. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT NEEDS NEW RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. *TR

WHILE DRIVEN IN NORMAL CONDITIONS ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 M/H IT START TO LOOSE SPEED,THE TRANSMISSION WON`T SHIFT BACK TO THIRD SPEED FROM FOURTH, WHEN IT NEED IT, NO OVERHEATING WHERE INDICATED BY THE HEAT INDICATOR JUST THE LOCK OF POWER,CAR NEED TO BE TOWED TO MY HOUSE. *TR

RADIATOR TRANSMISSION COOLER FAILURE ALLOWED CROSS CONTAMINATION BETWEEN TRANSMISSION FLUID AND ANTIFREEZE.THE RESULTING LACK OF LUBRICATION AND ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY OF ANTIFREEZE CAUSED ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *TR

VEHICLE STARTED OUT SHIFTING HARD AND CHANGING GEARS HARD. WHEN VEHICLE WAS PUT IN REVERSE AND/OR DRIVER, IT STARTED SPUTTERING AS IF IT WAS ABOUT TO SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO VERY SLUGGISH WHEN HITTING THE ACCELERATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO THE MECHANIC TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND I WAS ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION OIL HAD MIXED WITH THE COOLANT IN THE RADIATOR, CAUSING COOLANT TO BE IN MY TRANSMISSION FLUID AND TRANSMISSION FLUID IN MY RADIATOR. I WAS ADVISED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE TYPE THAT NISSAN WAS AWARE OF, BUT ONLY OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES. IF NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE DEFECT IN THEIR PARTS, THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS THAT THIS DEFECT HAS CAUSED AND NOT PUT THE BURDEN ON THE BACKS OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN VEHICLE AND WILL TELL EVERYONE THAT I KNOW NOT TO PURCHASE A NISSAN. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK NORMALLY, IN THE MORNING, I CAME TO A STOP AT A STOPLIGHT. ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PRESSED THE PEDAL TO ACCELERATE AND THE TRUCK WAS SLOW TO RESPOND (AS IF IT WAS IN A HIGHER GEAR TO START) ONCE IT WAS UP TO ABOUT 20MPH IT DROVE DECENT ENOUGH. I CAME TO ANOTHER STOP AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN, SAME AS BEFORE, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS STOPPING AT A SCHOOL TO DROP KIDS OFF AND TURNED INTO A SPOT AND TURNED OFF THE TRUCK. IT WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON WHEN ATTEMPTED. I CHECKED THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES AND CAME UP WITH U1000, U1001, P0717. I HAD TO TOW IT AWAY FROM THE PARKING LOT A COUPLE DAYS LATER. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO CHECK THE TRUCK OUT, I FOUND A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF TRANSMISSION FLUID (FROTHED) IN THE COOLANT. I READ THAT THIS IS DUE TO THE INTERNAL RADIATOR TRANSMISSION COOLER FAILING AND MIXING THE COOLANT WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. I ALSO FOUND THAT THE REASON FOR THE TRUCK NOT STARTING WAS THAT THE 10A FUSE FOR THE A/T ECU BLEW. I HAVE REPLACED THE RADIATOR, FLUSHED THE COOLING SYSTEM, AND AM ABOUT TO TAKE A SAMPLE OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO SEE IF THERE IS COOLANT IN THE TRANSMISSION BEFORE I TALK TO A REPAIR FACILITY ABOUT REPAIRING THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

TRANSMISSION WAS SHUTTERING AFTER INSPECTION THERE WAS WATER IN TRANSMISSION FROM LEAKING RADIATOR THAT NISSAN KNEW ABOUT BUT DIDN'T WARN CONSUMERS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED ERRATICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT RADIATOR FLUID WAS ENTERING THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

HAD CROSS CONTAMINATION OF COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID. NISSAN GARAGE DISCOVERED THIS AFTER I TOOK TO THE SHOP FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY UNRELATED. FOR SOME REASON THE GARAGE NEVER CHECKED FOR THIS OR MENTIONED THE CLASS ACTION SUIT WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS UNDER 100,000 MILES. I HAD TO PAY $5,000 AND COULD NOT RECOVER ANYTHING FROM THE CLASS ACTION, AS MY VEHICLE HAS 112,000 MILES. I STILL OWE ON IT! THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL, BUT NISSAN DECIDED TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY AND SAVE A TON OF MONEY, KNOWING THAT THIS ISSUE WOULD FREQUENTLY OCCUR AFTER 100,000 MILES. WE AS CONSUMERS, ARE DRIVING AROUND LIKE FOOLS, THINKING THAT OUR VEHICLES ARE RELIABLE AND SAFE. *JS

THE FLUIDS OF THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION MIXED. 3 MECHANICS AND A NISSAN DEALER SAID ITS A KNOWN ISSUE BETWEEN 2005~2007. AND NO RECALLS WE'RE BEING ISSUED. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE AT ANTWERPEN NISSAN DONE WHEN MY PATHFINDER WAS RUNNING. I HAVE HAD A 95 SENTRY, I HAVE A 09 VERSA, I HAVE TALKED MY MOTHER IN LAW INTO A NISSAN ALTIMA, AS WELL AS MY STEP MOM. MY HUSBAND HAS TALKED A COUPLE OF HIS CO WORKERS INTO A NISSAN ALSO. I WANT TO KNOW WHY THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALLS ON A "WELL KEPT SECRET" AS THAT IS WHAT I WAS TOLD. *TR

VEHICLE STRUGGLING TO SHIFT. DIAGNOSIS: TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING INTO THE RADIATOR. REPLACED RADIATOR DRAINED AND REPLACED ALL FLUIDS, STILL STRUGGLING TO SHIFT. *TR

THIS VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT FROM DEALER EARLY 2010 WITH AROUND 40,000 MILES. THERE WAS NO KNOWLEDGE OF A MANUFACTURING DESIGN DEFECT INSIDE OF THE RADIATOR. A LEAKAGE DUE TO AN INTERNAL TUBE INSIDE THE RADIATOR CAUSES TRANSMISSION FLUID TO BE CROSS-CONTAMINATED AND BECOME MIXED THEN OVER TIME DESTROYS BOTH THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. NISSAN MANUFACTURER WON'T HELP WITH REPAIRING THIS PROBLEM. ON TOP OF THAT, THE MILEAGE MAKES ME INELIGIBLE FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY. IT IS 10 YEARS/100,000 MILES WHICH EVER COMES FIRST. HELP ME PLEASE!!!! I DON'T HAVE $10,000 TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR WHEN ITS NOT MY FAULT. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND THEY DON'T HAVE AN OFFICIAL RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BUT AN OUT OF REACH WARRANTY. FAILURE HAPPENS AFTER 100,000 MILES MOSTLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION AND THEY NOTICED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR WAS FAULTY. THERE WAS A VOLUNTARY RECALL RELATED TO THE DEFECT ISSUED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE RECALL PERTAINED TO THE FUEL SENOR. THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE 70,000 MILEAGE MENTIONED IN THE RECALL AND WAS INELIGIBLE FOR THE FREE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE AS IF RIDING OVER BUMPS AT APPROX 60-65 MPH AND THEN WHEN APPROACHING A STOP A JERKY SHIFT WOULD OCCUR AT APPROX 5-10 MPH. SERVICE ENGINE SOON ILLUMINATED CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE MORE THAN 10 MPH SO MY WIFE PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN AND HAD TO BE TOWED. I HAD THE CODE PULLED FROM THE ECU AND IT REPORTED ERROR "P0717 INPUT TURBINE SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT NO SIGNAL". AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE I FOUND A LOT OF INFORMATION ON DEFECTIVE RADIATOR IN 2005-2010 NISSAN PATHFINDER, XTERA AND FRONTIER WHICH ALLOWS COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID TO MIX AND CAUSES TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHICH WAS ALSO CONFIRMED BY CONTAMINATED COOLANT IN THE RADIATOR. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF THIS FAILURE LIKE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED UNTIL ITS SUDDEN FAILURE AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL IN PLACE.

I ALWAYS TAKE MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE AT GLENDALE NISSAN AND SO LAST YEAR IN JULY OF 2013 I ASKED WERE THERE ANY RECALL ON MY CAR I WAS TOLD NO. SO IN FEB OF THIS YEAR2014 I STARTED EXPERIENCING SOME PROBLEMS WITH ME HEAT INSIDE THE CAR. THEY CHECKED IT AND TOLD ME MY TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS MIXING WITH MY COOLANT AND I NEEDED TO REPLACE BOTH AND ITS GONNA COST ME $5600. I ASKED WAS THERE A RECALL ON THIS AND I WAS TOLD YES AND MY CAR WASN'T COVERED BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE. I INSTANTLY GOT UPSET BECAUSE I ALWAYS TAKE MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE TO THIS DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD I COULD TRY TO REPLACING THE RADIATOR AND DRAIN THE TRANSMISSION BUT THAT WAS NO GUARANTEE HOW LONG THE CAR WOULD WORK. I DID JUST THAT ..NOW MY CAR IS STAYING IDLE WHILE DRIVING AND IT WONT IDLE DOWN FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. I TRIED CALLING THE 1800NISSAN1 NUMBER AND EXPLAIN MY PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME THEY CAN'T HELP ME AND NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THIS IS SO WRONG! I'VE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY AT THIS DEALERSHIP ITS RIDICULOUS. IVE REPLACED MY COMPUTER, BELTS, HOSES, SPARK PLUGS,OIL CHANGES,DRAIN MY TRANSMISSION FLUID.SO MUCH I CANT EVEN REMEMBER EVERYTHING. IF THEY KNOW THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO THESE CARS AND PUT OUT A RECALL FOR THIS HOW CAN THEY GET AWAY WITH THIS! IM A SINGLE PARENT OF 5 CHILDREN THERE'S NO WAY I CAN AFFORD THIS!! AND THIS IS MY ONLY CAR I HAVE FOR TRANSPORTATION!! THIS IS JUST PLAIN WRONG! THEY SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS! *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT SENSOR CAME ON AND KEEPS FLASHING. JUST STARTED THE CAR AND THE SENSOR LIGHT KEPT FLASHING. TOOK TO NISSAN FOR OIL CHANGE AND TOLD THEM AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING. THEY ADVISED ME THAT IT WAS GOING TO COST $800 TO FIX AND THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY UNTIL IT WAS REPAIRED. *TR

MY 2007 NISSAN PATH FINDER WAS RECENTLY WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A COMPLETE FAILURE TO THE TRANSMISSION DUE TO A FAILURE OF THE "RADIATOR ASSEMBLY" THAT FAILED AND ALLOWED WATER TO GET INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION CONTAINMENT AND THIS CAUSED CATASTROPHIC FAILURE TO THE TRANSMISSION. REQUIRING NOW THAT THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE ONLY WARNING I GOT WAS THE FAILURE WARNING LIGHT FROM MY CAR, AND AT THAT POINT ITS ALREADY DAMAGED. LOOKING FOR AN EXPLANATION I TURNED TO NISSAN AND I LEARNED THAT THIS IS RECOGNIZED BY NISSAN DEFECT AND THOUGHT MY VEHICLE HASN'T BEEN COMPLETELY ABANDON BY NISSAN CORP. I STILL HAVE TO CONTRIBUTE $2.5K TOWARDS REPAIRS FOR A KNOWN FAILING DESIGN, THAT FIXING IT COULD HAVE PREVENT THE MUCH MORE COSTLY RESULT OF LEAVING IT AS IS. WHAT HAPPENED TO NISSAN STANDING BY THEIR PRODUCT AND MAKING GOOD ON POOR DESIGN? EVEN WHAT'S MORE IS THAT I WAS MAILED A LETTER REGARDING A CLASS ACTION REIMBURSEMENT IN LEGAL LINGO THAT I DIDN'T FULLY UNDERSTAND AND FELT IT DIDN'T APPLY TO ME SINCE ID HAVE NO EXPENSES. YET IT NOW MAKES SENSE AS TO WHAT ITS PURPOSE WAS.. IT WAS TO MONETARY REIMBURSE THOSE WITH NISSAN'S AT MY SIMILAR AGE AND MILEAGE FOR REPAIR THEY PERFORMED DUE TO ADMITTING IT WAS A FAULTY DESIGN. I CANT HELP BUT WONDER WHAT HARM WOULD IT HAVE BEEN TO PUBLISH AN ADVISORY LETTER AND ALLOW THE CONSUMER THE RIGHT TO MAKE REPAIR PRIOR TO A COMPLETE FAILURE. ADDITIONAL NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPT. NEED A PERSONALITY TRAINING AS THEY ARE UNABLE TO SAY ANYTHING UNLESS IT IS PRE-SCRIPTED FOR THEM. I'M BEGINNING TO RETHINK MY FORTH VEHICLE PURCHASE TO NOT BE A NISSAN. *TR

BOUGHT 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER FALL 2010. DEC 2010 IN FOR OIL CHANGE AT DEALERSHIP. SENT HOME PAPER W/ BOXES CHECKED SHOWING TRANSMISSION & COOLANT "MAY NEED FUTURE ATTENTION" NOTHING ELSE BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION. 40,912 MILES ON TRUCK. DEC 2013- 99,279 MILES- TOOK TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP- WASN'T HEATING AT IDLE. FOUND TO BE LOW ON COOLANT, CONTAMINATED TRANSMISSION FLUID, AND OIL SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE (OIL LIGHT DID NOT COME ON) THEY FLUSHED FLUIDS, REFILLED THEM & TOLD US TO CHANGE OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES FOR A FEW MONTHS TO ENSURE CLEAN. JAN 13 2014 ANOTHER OIL CHANGE, ANOTHER CHECKED BOX STATING TRANSMISSION FLUIDS "MAY NEED FUTURE ATTENTION" EVEN THOUGH FLUSHED 18 DAYS AGO. FEB 10 2014 ANOTHER OIL CHANGE, ANOTHER CHECKED BOX STATING COOLANT "MAY NEED FUTURE ATTENTION". THIS SEEMED TO BE ROUTINE AND NOTHING MORE SINCE FLUIDS ROUTINELY NEED CHANGING. FEB 27, 2014 -103,000 MILES- ENGINE LIGHT ON, DROVE IMMEDIATELY TO DEALERSHIP. DIAGNOSIS: COOLANT HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION FROM THE RADIATOR RUINING BOTH. $5,000+ TO FIX.FOUND THERE ARE OVER 110,000 NISSAN PATHFINDERS WITH EXACT PROBLEM, NISSAN IS/HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS, BUT SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL THEY DON'T HAVE TO INFORM OWNERS. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. BECAUSE OF THIS, WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED TO 100,000 MI. BUT, THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT AROUND OR AFTER 100,000, IT IS TOO LATE. NISSAN WILL ONLY PAY FOR ANYTHING OVER $3,000, BUT ARE INSTALLING REBUILT TRANSMISSIONS THAT COST JUST THAT, SO WE ARE STILL PAYING TOTAL COST. VISITS SHOW THAT AT 40,912 & 99,279 MILES THEY KNEW THIS WAS THE PROBLEM DID NOT INFORM US SINCE THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN LIABLE. A MECHANIC OF 30 YEARS EXPLAINED THAT LOW COOLANT AND COLD ON IDLE MEANS THERE IS A LEAK WHICH WILL ALSO CAUSE OIL SLUDGE. VISITS 1& 2 MOS LATER ALSO SHOWED SIGNS OF LEAKAGE. SIGNS WERE ALL THERE AND IGNORED! DANGEROUS IF HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. *TR

THE RADIATOR IS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

MY CAR STARTED TO RATTLE AND LOSE POWER AT 45 MPH. I DROVE IT HOME AND TRIED TO REVERSE IT IN WITH NO LUCK. I IMMEDIATELY KNEW I HAD A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. I PARKED THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO LATER INFORMED ME THAT MY RADIATOR COOLANT FLUID HAD MIXED WITH MY TRANSMISSION FLUID AND DESTROYED MY ENTIRE CAR. THEY QUOTED ME BETWEEN 7000-9000 TO FIX THE CAR. I CONTACTED NISSAN WHO INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TWICE TO UP TO 100,000 MILES. I FIND THIS IRONIC SINCE AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH THE ISSUE USUALLY OCCURS AFTER 100,000 MILES. NISSAN HAS KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR 7 YEARS AND HAS CHOSEN TO IGNORE THE ISSUE AND NOT ISSUE A RECALL. NOW THE CONSUMERS HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL.

MY CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE LEAVING ME VULNERABLE TO ACCIDENT. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM AND IT IS ALREADY ON THIS SITE WITH 2 SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS. HOWEVER, THE INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN OPENED SINCE 2012 FEB AND NO RESULTS. THE DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS [XXX] SENT TO THE NC CONSUMERS COUNCIL ON 18 FEB 12 WITH NO PUBLISHED RESULTS. I AM THINKING THAT MAYBE SOME MONEY UNDER THE TABLE WENT TO [XXX] FROM NISSAN. OKAY THE LAST PART WAS A JOKE BUT REALLY 2 YEARS OPEN INVESTIGATION. PLEASE HELP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

RADIATOR COOLER LEAKING WATER INTO TRANSMISSION,AND TRANSMISSION OIL INTO COOLING SYSTEM. TRANSMISSION STUCK IN 3 GEAR, ENGINE OVERHEATING DUE TO SLUDGE INSIDE RADIATOR, A TOTAL DISASTER FOR A LOW INCOME INDIVIDUAL TRYING TO MAKE ENDS MEET . *TR

DRIVING CAR IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND CAR COMPLETING STOPPED. IT TOOK ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO START. ONCE THE CAR STARTED IT CRANKED FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS BEFORE IT ACTUALLY STARTED. AT DEALERSHIP, THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING TWO NEW CAM SENSORS. AFTER PAYING $621.00 FOR THIS, MECHANIC TEST DROVE CAR AND FOUND IT TO BE "BUCKING" AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND WE NEEDED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION. NISSAN IS REQUIRING $2,500 DEDUCTIBLE EVEN AFTER THEY REALIZE THEY MADE A FAULTY RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION. *TR

AT 99000 MILES TRUCK FAILED TO TAKE OFF THEN ALL OF SUDDEN TOOK OFF THEN GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. DURING A ROAD TRIP WHICH CAUSED A 3 DAY DELAY AND 3000 DOLLARS IN REPAIR. NOW FAST FORWARD TO 111,975 MILES AND WAS GOING UP HILL AT LIGHT AND TRUCK STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS AND SPUTTERING, TOOK IT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP STATED THAT COOLANT IN TRANSMISSION REPAIR COST 7246 AND STILL OWE 9200 ON TRUCK. *TR

WE STARTED TO HAVE A VERY LOUD AND CREEPING NOISE WHEN WE PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE. SOUNDS LIKE WE WERE PULLING SOMETHING VERY HEAVY AND THE CAR COULD NOT RESIST IT. THEN, WE ALSO STARTED TO NOTICE ISSUES SUCH AS A DELAY IN GEAR CHANGES AND MORE NOISES NOW WHEN DRIVING FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT WITH A "BROKEN TRANS COOLER LINE IN RADIATOR WHICH MADE THE COOLANT LEAK AND MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID. THEY WANT US TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR, AND FLUSH ENGINE BLOCK BRINGING THE PRICE CLOSE TO 7K. I STARTED TO RESEARCH THIS AND I'M DEFINITELY ADDING MY COMPLAINT AND WILL SURELY CALL NISSAN TO SEE WHAT OPTIONS THEY WILL GIVE US. 2/20/15 *TR

TRANSMISSION FLUID IS MILKY COLORED. LOSS OF COOLANT. TRANSMISSION SLIPPING. SOMEHOW COOLANT IN TRANSMISSION FLUID. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND AS THE FREEWAY WAS COMING TO ITS END WHERE YOU HAVE AN OPTION TO GO ON ANOTHER FREEWAY OR INTO THE CITY AREA, MY CAR COMPLETELY DIED AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP. I WAS TRYING TO ROLL AND STEER MYSELF INTO A SAFE AREA SO THAT CARS WOULD NOT COME CRASHING INTO ME FROM BEHIND AS IT WAS AT NIGHT @ 7:30 PM. AFTER WAITING A MINUTE, I STARTED IT BACK UP AND THE VDC AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS DRIVABLE BUT SOMEWHAT JERKY AND STALLED ONCE AGAIN ON MY WAY BACK HOME. I TRIED TO GET THE CAR HOME SAFELY SO I CAN HAVE AAA TOW IT TO THE NEAREST SHOP NEAR MY HOME IF NEEDED. I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME AND THEN TOOK IT TO A SHOP WHERE BOTH CAM SHAFT SENSORS WERE REPLACED FOR $500. CAR DROVE BETTER BUT THEN STARTED SHAKING AT 40 MPH OR 60 MPH UNLESS I PUT IT IN OVERDRIVE OR LET OFF THE GAS AND TRIED AGAIN. DRIVING IN OVERDRIVE HELPED. MY MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE SO I THEN FOUND ANOTHER SHOP THAT WAS FULL-SERVICE WHERE THEY DID A FULL DIAGNOSTIC. I RECEIVED THE CALL ABOUT 5 HOURS AFTER DROP-OFF WHERE HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE AND YEAR AND THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE RADIATOR WHICH ALLOWS COOLANT TO MIX WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID AND ULTIMATELY DESTROY THE TRANSMISSION. HE ALSO RECOMMENDED AS A FIX THAT I GET A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR AND HOSES AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION THAT WOULD GO IN IT WOULD BE A NEWER MODEL NISSAN PATHFINDER TRANSMISSION WHERE THEY HAVE CHANGED/CORRECTED THE DESIGN AND WOULDN'T INCUR THIS ISSUE AGAIN. HE STATED IT'S A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY STOPS RUNNING AND THAT I WAS ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES THAT IT STILL DOES RUN. AS I HAVE JUST PAID THIS CAR OFF A FEW MONTHS EARLIER, THE NEW COSTS INCURRED TO FIX THE PROBLEM CORRECTLY, WOULD RUN ME ANYWHERE FROM $5,600-$7,500. MY VEHICLE'S VALUE IS $8,000 ACCORDING TO EDMUNDS.COM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND MY CAR SUDDENLY WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I MADE MY WAY TO A STREET LOCATION AND PULLED MY CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I SHUT THE CAR OFF. IT WOULD NOT START. I HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT IT IS THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

FOR THE PAST WEEK WHEN EVER I DROVE MY CAR THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHUDDERS, SHAKES AND HAS A HARSH UPSHIFT WHEN IT IS CHANGING GEARS. IT HAPPENS THE MOST ON HIGHWAYS GOING AT HIGH SPEEDS (55-65 MILES). I TOOK MY CAR INTO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP ON 1-29-14 TO GET IT CHECKED OUT. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED MY CAR WITH A "BROKEN TRANS COOLER LINE IN RADIATOR WHICH MADE THE COOLANT LEAK AND MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID. ADVISE REPLACE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR, AND FLUSH ENGINE BLOCK AS WELL AS REPLACE THERMOSTAT, (PRICE TO FIX: $5938.00 + 9% TAX)". I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON DEFECT ISSUE THAT NISSAN HAS BEEN DANCING AROUND SINCE 2007, AS WELL AS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BEING FILED AGAINST NISSAN. I BOUGHT THE CAR ON JULY 28, 2011, SO I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS IN WHICH THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM DID NOT INFORM US OF THIS WARRANTY BEING OFFERED BY NISSAN FROM THE LAWSUIT OR INFORMED US OF THE POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I HAD THE CAR COMPLETELY CHECKED OUT BY A MECHANIC IN NOVEMBER OF 2013 AND IT PASSED WITH NO ISSUES. NOW HERE WE ARE 2 MONTHS LATER, AND OVER 100,000 MILES AND MY NISSAN EXPERIENCES THIS ISSUE. THIS CAN BE A VERY DETRIMENTAL AND DRAMATIC FAILURE, CAUSING MASSIVE SAFETY ISSUES IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY CAR, ESPECIALLY ON HIGHWAYS GOING HIGH SPEEDS. I CONTACTED NISSAN THIS MORNING TO SEE IF THEY ARE GOING TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND SINCE I AM ONLY 11,000 MILES OVER THEIR "WARRANTY" (WHICH HAS HIGH DEDUCTIBLES), THEY DENIED TO HELP AND I AM LEFT HOLDING A $6500.00 PRICE TAG TO FIX MY CAR. *TR

I REQUEST THAT THE DOT NHTSA INVESTIGATE MANUFACTURER DEFECTS IN 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDERS COOLING SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION AS UNEXPECTED FAILURE RELATES TO DRIVER SAFETY. MY 2007 PATHFINDER WITH 90,000 MILES CAUSED A MAJOR COLLISION WITH A DEER AS THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO FAIL. DRIVING HOME, AT AROUND 40MPH, UP A HILL (ENGINE UNDER LOAD @ 2,200-2,500 RPM) THE WHOLE CAR BEGAN SUDDENLY TO "SHUDDER"- SIMILAR TO THE FEELING/ SOUND OF RIDING OVER HIGHWAY RUMBLE STRIPS. THIS RESULTED IN A LOSS OF CONTROL OVER THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE AND A NOTICEABLE DISTRACTION LEAVING ME UNPREPARED AS A LARGE BUCK RAN OUT FROM THE TREE LINE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS THE ROAD- THE BUCK DID NOT MAKE IT ACROSS. AS I HAVE FOUND IN MY RESEARCH AFTERWARDS, THERE IS A WIDELY KNOWN MANUFACTURER DEFECT IN WHICH ENGINE COOLANT MIXES WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE RESULTING "GOOP" SHREDS THE INTERNAL PARTS OF THE TRANSMISSION RENDERING IT (ALONG WITH THE RADIATOR AND COMPONENTS) COMPLETELY USELESS. THESE VEHICLES ARE UNSAFE FOR THE ROADWAYS AS THIS PROBLEM OCCURS SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY WITHOUT WARNING. I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY FOR BEING ALIVE- NOW, BUT SINCE NISSAN NOR ANY OTHER ORGANIZATION IS WILLING TO RECALL OR REPLACE THIS VEHICLE/ AFFECTED PARTS, I AM STUCK, FORCED TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD BEING A HAZARD TO OTHERS AND MYSELF. *TR

MY VEHICLE JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING SIGNS OR PREVIOUS ISSUES. I HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF THIS VEHICLE AND THE RADIATOR HAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT ALLOWED TRANSMISSION FLUID TO LEAK INTO THE RADIATOR CAUSING CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE TO MY RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION THAT NISSAN WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR AND WILL COST ME UPWARDS OF $5,200.00 AT LEAST. *TR

THE TRUCK BEGAN SHIFTING GEARS VERY ROUGHLY AND SLOWLY WITH A STRONG JERKING MOTION TO THE TRUCK. WHEN TAKEN FOR DIAGNOSIS WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND COOLANT WERE MIXING DUE TO A FAULTY RADIATOR AND THUS GOT INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE NEED FOR REPLACEMENT OF RADIATOR, FLUSHING OF FLUID LINES AND TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT APPROX. COST $6000. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, I SEE MULTITUDES OF OTHER NISSAN CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE ON ROADS. MY CAR FALLS OUTSIDE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY GIVEN DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. IN ADDITION, IF MY PATHFINDER DID FALL UNDER THE WARRANTY, NISSAN ONLY ASSISTS WITH PAYMENT TO REPLACE RADIATOR NOT THE DAMAGE DONE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY RADIATOR. THIS ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER! *TR

VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE AT SPEEDS OF APPROX 45 MPH. OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, THE CONDITION WORSENED - THE VIBRATIONS BECAME MORE AGGRESSIVE AND BEGAN TO OCCUR AT HIGHER SPEEDS. AFTER INVESTIGATION BY NISSAN, THEY ADVISED THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE RADIATOR AND POSSIBLY TRANSMISSION THAT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE I WAS OUTSIDE OF THE 100,000 MILE LIMIT. THE COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER LINE AND ULTIMATELY RIGHT INTO THE TRANSMISSION, THEREBY CAUSING DAMAGE THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE REPAIRED WITH A NEW RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES AND NISSAN NEGLECTED TO ALERT CONSUMERS. AT THIS TIME, THE VEHICLE IS INOPERABLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER SHIFTING INTO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP DESPITE THE CONTACT APPLYING BOTH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND EMERGENCY BRAKE, AND THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A PARKED VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A DIAGNOSIS OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE INCIDENT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

NISSAN REFUSES TO FULLY COVER THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT OF A FAULTY RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. NISSAN IS CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR THIS NEGLECT AND IS STALLING ON RECALLING THE VEHICLES. NISSAN EXTENDED A WARRANTY LEAVING THE BURDEN OF $3,000 DEDUCTIBLE FOR THE CONSUMER. THIS IS AN APPALLING AND SAD EXCUSE OF CUSTOMER SERVICE - THE VEHICLES DID NOT MEET QUALITY CONTROL AND IT IS DISGUSTING TO HAVE THE CUSTOMER PUT OUT THAT MUCH MONEY FOR A PROBLEM THAT EXISTED BEFORE THE VEHICLE LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

THE TRUCKS TRANSMISSION SLIPPED WHILE I WAS MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THE TRUCK DIDN'T WANT TO MOVE. IT WAS VERY SCARY. I HAD THE WHOLE FAMILY WITH ME. *TR

WAS HEARING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE, DEALER DIAGNOSED AS TIMING CHAIN GUIDES BAD, SAID THIS WAS A "KNOWN" PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. 3 WEEKS AFTER FIXING WAS GOING TO WORK AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT, WAS ADVISED BY DEALER THAT COOLANT HAD LEAKED INTO THE FLUID FROM A FAULTY RADIATOR DESIGN ON THIS MODEL...ESTIMATED 6000+ FOR REPAIRS. THESE ARE KNOWN ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL NISSAN AND THE COMPANY HAS OFFERED ZERO HELP WITH CORRECTING THIS. *TR

AT APPROX 50K MILES THERE WAS A CLUNKING SOUND WHEN PUTTING INTO GEAR, SHORT TIME PERIOD LATER A COOLANT SMELL. THEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. FINALLY THERE IS A HEAVY VIBRATION WHEN SHIFTING OR ACCELERATING AND THE CAR DOES NOT WARM UP WHEN SITTING IDLE. *TR

CAR PURCHASED IN SEPT OF 2013, WAS SPEEDING UP FROM A STOP AT ABOUT 10 MPH AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP. IT HAS DONE IT MORE THAN ONCE, ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO I WAS CROSSING THE RAILROAD TRACKS AND IT SHUTTERED AND JERK, FINALLY GETTING OVER THEM WHICH WAS EXTREMELY SCARY WITH MY 9 AND 2 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR WITH ME. THIS PAST WEEK THE CAR HAS OVER HEATED 3 TIMES. THE LAST TIME LEAVING ME STRANDED IN -5 DEGREES TEMPERATURE WITH MY 9 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. I HAVE SINCE HAD TO BORROW A CAR SEEING THIS NISSAN IS PUTTING MY FAMILY IN DANGER EVERY TIME WE DRIVE IT. SINCE IT WAS JUST PURCHASED WITH 79,000 I STILL OWE ON THE VEHICLE WHICH IS EXTREMELY UPSETTING. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH SINCE AND HAVE SEE SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. I WILL BE TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THIS WEEK TO CLARIFY THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AS ALL THE OTHERS. WHAT UPSETS ME EVEN MORE IS THE CAR WAS SOLD TO ME FROM A NISSAN DEALER WITH 79,000 MILES AND WAS NEVER MENTIONED TO ME OF THE EXTENDED 80,000 MILES WARRANTY, SINCE THEN I HAVE EXCEEDED THE 80,000 AND AM REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT SHOULD CLEARLY BE A RECALL. IF THERE WAS STILL A WARRANTY AT 79,000 WHY WASN'T THIS ISSUE FIXED BY THE DEALER!!! PLEASE DO ALL YOU CAN TO HELP ALL THESE POOR FAMILIES OUT THERE!! THANK YOU *TR

VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN WARMING UP FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS, NEVER THOUGHT IT WAS ANYTHING SERIOUS, THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A HEATING COIL OR SOMETHING, TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON 1/3/14 TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND FOR THEM TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM AND THE TECHNICIAN CAME BACK AND SAID "OH YOU NEED A TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR BRING THE CAR BACK ON TUESDAY" LIKE IT WAS SOMETHING COMMON. JUST LOOKED INTO THE COMPLAINTS DID NOT KNOW THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLES, NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS WILL BE MY LAST NISSAN. I PURCHASED A EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH THEY DID ASK ME, HOWEVER I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION SUIT THAT WOULD HAVE COVERED THE ISSUE UNTIL TODAY 1/8/14. *TR

TRANSMISSION WENT OUT GOING DOWN THE ROAD. STUCK IN OVERDRIVE. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH KIDS IN THE VEHICLE WHEN POWER IN THE TRANSMISSION WHEN TO NOTHING THEN SPORADICALLY STARTED WORKING AND NOT. SHE INTELLIGENTLY WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AND GET THE VEHICLE TO A SIDE ROAD IN A BOAT RAMP PARKING AREA WHERE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RUN IN ANY GEAR. I WAS CALLED AND MADE AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND CALLED MY PARENTS TO PICK THEN UP FOR THIS WAS OUR ONLY VEHICLE OF TRANSPORTATION. AFTER WORK MY DAD, UNCLE AND I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO OUR HOME WHERE IT HAS SET SINCE. DUE TO FINDING OUT THAT NISSAN ALREADY HAD A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OVER THIS AND THE RULING WITH THE MILEAGE ON MY VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL INTO ANY COMPENSATION OR ASSISTANCE TO BE FIXED THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS ONLY SIX YEARS OLD. JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON A BUSY ROAD DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SAFETY RECALL. MY UNDERSTANDING OF ISSUE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE MILEAGE RELATED AS MUCH AS TIME OF THE PROBLEM TO HAPPEN. *TR

I WAS ON EXPRESSWAY, DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60-65 MILES PER HOUR AND WITHOUT WARNING CAR LOST ALL ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE OR MAINTAIN SPEED. CAR ENGINE WOULD REV WHEN YOU PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND. VEHICLES BEHIND ME HAD TO HIT ON THERE BRAKES AND GO AROUND ME AS I ATTEMPTED TO STEER VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE EXPRESSWAY. ONCE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP, MY TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN ANY GEAR LEAVING ME STRANDED. I HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY HOME. I WAS INFORMED BY NISSAN THAT ENGINE COOLANT HAD LEAKED INTO MY TRANSMISSION AND RUINED MY TRANSMISSION. I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON NISSAN PATHFINDERS AND THE COST TO REPAIR VEHICLE IS BETWEEN 4 AND 5 THOUSAND DOLLARS. *TR

WHEN DRIVING APRX 40-45 MPH, TRANSMISSION SOUNDS AS IF I WAS HITTING RUMBLE STRIPS. I LOSE POWER. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT COULD BE DUE TO A COOLANT LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER REVIEWING THIS SITE, I NOTICED MANY OTHER PROBLEMS AND AN INVESTIGATION STARTED ALMOST A YEAR AGO....PLEASE GET THIS DEFECT RECALLED!!! *TR

THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION MELTED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CAR COULD NOT MOVE ON REVERSE AND ONLY GOING 20MPH. *TR

THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AND SHUTTERED AND CEASED TO MOVE. I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND LUCKILY HAD A PLACE TO PULL OVER. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP. AFTER A DISCUSSION AND DIAGNOSIS BY THE TECHNICIAN AND SHOP FOREMAN IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR HAD CROSSED CONTAMINATION OF FLUIDS RESULTING IN THE TRANSMISSION BECOMING INOPERABLE AND REQUIRING THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR BE REPLACED. THE SHOP FOREMAN STATED THAT NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THIS DEFECT IN THE RADIATOR AND THE RESULTING PROBLEMS. I AM WAITING TO FIND OUT IF NISSAN WILL HELP WITH REPAIR COST. I WAS TOLD BY THE SHOP FOREMAN THAT THE COST TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $8,000.00. . *TR

CRACKED RADIATOR ALLOWED COOLANT TO LEAK INTO TRANSMISSION SO NOT KNOWING NISSAN WAS HAVING THIS PROBLEM WE HAD A NEW RADIATOR INSTALLED AND THE COOLING SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION FLUSHED OUT MILEAGE AT THIS TIME WAS 79290 NOW 4 MONTHS LATER THE TRANSMISSION IS SHOT AND NEED A NEW ONE MILEAGE NOW 83158 SINCE THE MILEAGE IS ABOVE 80000 NISSAN WILL NOT FIX THE CAR UNDER THERE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WANTS ME TO DOLE OUT 2500.00$. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN NISSAN WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THERE TRANSMISSIONS I WOULD HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO A NISSAN AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER THE FIRST TIME. *TR

THE TRUCK BEGIN TO SHIFT HARD AND RIDE AS IF ON GROOVES IN THE ROAD. AT TIME YOU WOULD HAVE TO REMOVE YOUR FEET FROM THE GAS SEVERAL TIMES TO STOP THE VIBRATION. THE TRUCK WOULD JERK WHILE DRIVING OR EXCEL VERY FAST WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER MONTHS OF THIS THE CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON 11/19/13. I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE NISSAN DEALER TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THEY CAME BACK WITH A ESTIMATED INVESTMENT: TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR, MATIC S COOLANT. NO CODES OR ISSUES THAT WERE WRONG AND AT THE BOTTOM A GRAND TOTAL OF $5047.33. I WAS TOLD THE RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING IT TO GO BAD. HE SAID THE COOLANT DAMAGES ALL THE INNER PARTS THROUGH CORROSION. I THOUGHT WHILE ALL THE REPORTS I HAVE READ ABOUT ONLINE ABOUT THE 2006-2010 MODELS NISSAN IS HAPPENING TO ME. SO WHAT DO I DO PAY A FORTUNE TO FIX A DEFECT THAT NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT SINCE 2007 AND HAVEN'T RECALLED TO FIX THEM IN A CAR I JUST BOUGHT A YEAR AGO, THAT IS NO WHERE BEING PAID OFF. WE NEED SOME HELP WITH THIS THERE ARE COMPLAINTS FROM NC TO CANADA. THIS IS NOT OCCURRING IN VEHICLES UNDER WARRANTY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT IN CARS THAT ARE OVER THE MILEAGE. THEY TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION PRESSURE WAS TO MUCH. IT IS A SUV WITH POWER THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO PAY FOR THIS. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ON I-95 DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT STOP AND GO SPEEDS DUE TO TRAFFIC CONGESTION AND WHEN THE OPERATOR WANTED TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. IT TOOK VARIOUS TRIES BEFORE IT WAS ABLE TO MOVE AND PLACED ON THE CURB. AFTER THAT THE VEHICLE STARTED TO RESPOND AGAIN BUT AT LIMITED SPEEDS AND WAS ABLE TO BARELY MADE IT BACK HOME AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS. IT WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING. IT HAS BEEN FURTHER DETERMINED THAT THERE IS A CONTAMINATION OF TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FLUIDS / COOLANTS AND A TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE MAY BE POSSIBLE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN OPERATION SINCE THIS WAS DISCOVERED AND WE ARE EVALUATING OPTIONS FOR REPAIR, UP TO AND INCLUDING TOTAL REPLACEMENT OF THE POWER-TRAIN AND RADIATOR. AFTER INVESTIGATING THIS POSSIBLE FAILURE I WAS ABLE TO FIND THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON MANUFACTURER DEFECT BUT I CAN NOT FIND ANY RECALL NOTICES. THIS WAS A VERY DISTURBING INCIDENT AND THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS HURT, BUT THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE OCCURRING IN THE MIDDLE OF I-95 COULD HAVE RESULTED IN CRASH DUE TO THE SUDDEN DECELERATION OF THE VEHICLE. I'M LOOKING FOR GUIDANCE ON HOW THIS CAN BE TAKEN TO THE MANUFACTURER SO THEY CAN TAKE CARE OF THIS OBVIOUS FACTORY DEFECT. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING BACK FROM YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH WHEN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE WHEEL SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SKID OFF THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE TIE ROD FAILED BECAUSE OF CORROSION. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND SOLD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE INCIDENT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,736.

RADIATOR FAILED (PRODUCT DEFECT, NO ACCIDENT OR EXTERNAL CAUSES) AND LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION, EFFECTIVELY DESTROYING IT. HAD TO GET BOTH RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION REPLACED. SYMPTOMS STARTED WITH SHUDDERING DURING SHIFTING, WHICH LED TO ROUGH SHIFTING, GEAR SLIPPAGE, CHECK-ENGINE LIGHT, AND EVENTUALLY THE CAR NOT EVEN STARTING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AND JERKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED T BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

I WAS DRIVING MY PATHFINDER DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN I REACHED 40 MPH, IT BEGAN TO HESITATE AS IF THE OVERDRIVE WAS NOT WORKING. AS I GAVE IT MORE GAS, IT STOPPED. IT HAS GRADUALLY GOTTEN WORSE TO THE POINT THAT ANYWHERE FROM 40 TO 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE IS HESITATING UNLESS YOU EITHER SLOW TO BELOW 40 OR SPEED UP TO ABOVE 50. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND HE STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS MIXING WITH THE COOLANT, WHICH MEANS THAT I MUST PAY TO HAVE MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED OR PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE! I HAVE SINCE HEARD THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE. MY VEHICLE HAS GONE OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT, IF THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR QUITE SOME TIME (YEARS) AS I HAVE RESEARCHED, THEN I BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD HAVE TO COVER THE COST OF REPLACEMENT. WHY WAS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THE ISSUE, WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN FIXED EASILY INSTEAD OF HAVING TO REPLACE THE WHOLE THING AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE! I ALSO REALIZE THAT AT ANY MOMENT MY VEHICLE COULD STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, WHICH COULD CAUSE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH TO ME OR MY FAMILY. *TR

THIS IS ALL AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED (BY NISSAN DEALER) FOR THE KNOWN RADIATOR LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. REPAIR BACK IN MAY 2013 WITH APPROX. MILEAGE 68000. NOW VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 75000. DRIVING HOME FROM DINNER WITH WIFE IN MODERATE TRAFFIC. HERD A CLUNK AND CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. BARELY MADE IT HOME. I LET VEHICLE COOL DOWN AND REMOVED THE RADIATOR CAP AND FOUND THICK CREAM LIKE FLUID WHICH IS A DEFINITE SIGN OF OIL BASED FLUID CONTAMINATED WITH WATER / GLYCOL. SEEMS TO ME THAT NISSAN DID NOT REPLACE OR FIX THE LEAKING RADIATOR. DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT BEHAVES IN THIS MANNER CAN NOT BE SAFE TO DRIVE. BACK TO THE SHOP (DEALER) TOMORROW. *TR

RADIATOR FAILED, LEAKING ANTIFREEZE INTO TRANSMISSION. THIS MIXING OF ANTIFREEZE AND TRANSMISSION FLUID CAUSED TRANSMISSION TO FAIL MY PATHFINDER IS NOW IN A PARKING SPOT. I OWE PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE, NOR AFFORD TO REPAIR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER HAS INFORMED ME THAT DUE AN APPARENT KNOWN ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE A TOTAL FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION HAS OCCURRED. THE NEEDED REPAIRS ESTIMATE IS $7,800 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR AND ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS. *TR

CALSONIC RADIATOR ISSUE - TRANSMISSION FLUID AND COOLANT MIXED CAUSING ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION. BAD TRANSMISSION COOLER AREA PER AAMCO. NISSAN IS UNWILLING TO HELP AS MY VEHICLE HAS 126K MILES ON IT. THESE ISSUES APPEAR TO BE HAPPENING IN A MUCH GREATER % THAN NISSAN IS ACKNOWLEDGING. THEY MOVED THE WARRANTY FROM 3 YRS/36000 MILES TO 8 YEARS/80000 MILES BUT IT STILL DOESN'T HELP THOSE WHOSE RADIATOR LEAKED AFTER THE 100K LEVEL PREMATURELY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND ALSO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT ISSUE. IT SEEMS THAT NISSAN CORPORATE, DEALERS, TRANSMISSION SHOPS AND OTHER GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE - SADLY, MOST CONSUMERS DON'T. I WOULD HAVE GLADLY REPLACED MY RADIATOR FOR $500 BUT NOW I WILL BE OUT $4000 BECAUSE NISSAN DIDN'T TELL THEIR OWNERS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

MAJOR VIBRATION DURING SHIFTING GEARS (TRANSMISSION). CONCERNED THAT COOLANT HAS LEAKED FROM RADIATOR INTO TRANSMISSION AS HAS BEEN REPORTED ON THOUSANDS OF OTHER PATHFINDERS. NISSAN SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL AND REPLACE RADIATORS/TRANSMISSIONS. *JB

NOTE: AFFECTED PARTS ARE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR (NOT SURE WHAT CATEGORY THOSE FALL IN) I PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP LESS THAN 3 MONTHS AGO. IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING I NOTICED WHAT SEEMED TO BE A MINOR LACK OF POWER OR CUTTING OUT WHEN COASTING DOWNHILL. I MENTIONED IT TO MY SALES REP, AND AGAIN WHEN I HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE SHOP ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR A TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE AND REAR DOOR HANDLE PROBLEM. I HAD NEVER OWNED A 4WD BEFORE AND IT WAS DISMISSED AS NO BIG DEAL SINCE IT STILL DROVE OKAY. THEN LAST WEEK, OVER LABOR DAY WEEKEND, MY CAR OVERHEATED AND IMMEDIATELY DISCHARGED A GREY MILKY SUBSTANCE FROM THE RADIATOR WITHOUT WARNING. IT HAD NOT OVERHEATED PRIOR TO THIS. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY INFORMED ME THAT BOTH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR NEED REPLACING TO THE TUNE OF $6,600. THE CAUSE BEING THE RADIATOR FLUID LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS REPAIR IS OVER HALF THE VALUE OF THE CAR. I NEVER WOULD HAVE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE HAD I KNOWN ABOUT THE DEFECT. AT A MINIMUM I WOULD HAVE INSISTED IT BE COVERED BY WARRANTY. I PAID FULL RETAIL PRICE FOR THE CAR NOT KNOWING OF THIS DEFECT. WHILE I'M GRATEFUL NO ONE WAS INJURED BY THIS DEFECT THIS TIME, I HAVE NO MEANS TO PAY THE REPAIR COSTS AND OWE $13,000 TO THE BANK FOR A VEHICLE I CANNOT DRIVE OR RESELL. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN SYSTEM AND VALVE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

I OWN A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER THAT JUST PASSED 90,000 MILES. IT SEEMS THAT I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AS MANY OTHERS. THERE IS A LEAK IN THE TRANSMISSION FROM THE RADIATOR. NOW I KNOW THAT THEY ARE TAKING SOME RESPONSIBILITY BUT REALLY HOW IS IT THAT I SHOULD RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR ANY PORTION OF THIS REPAIR. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL NO MATTER HOW MANY MILES. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT I WAS BUYING A CAR THAT WAS GOING TO LAST FOR 90,000 MILES I MIGHT HAVE WENT A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. IF IT WAS A NISSAN DEFECT WHY DO WE THE CONSUMER HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS? PLEASE HELP OUT THE MANY NISSAN OWNERS WHO ARE UPSET AND CONFUSED AT WHY THIS BURDEN SHOULD BE PUT ON US. THANK YOU. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED A NEW VALVE BODY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO DRIVE SLUGGISH AS IF IT WAS GOING TO CUT OFF. WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION AND TRIED TO CRANK MY TRUCK TO LEAVE IT WOULD NOT SAY A WORD. I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALER IN MORROW FOR A DIAGNOSTICS TESTING. I RECEIVED A CALL THE NEXT DAY STATING THAT THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO GET THE TRUCK UP AND RUNNING. I EXPLAINED TO THE DEALER THAT I HAD M VEHICLE SERVICED LESS THAN A MONTH AGO AND THERE WAS NEVER AN INDICATION THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING. THEY QUOTED ME 6,100 TO REPAIR MY TRUCK. I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED AND SENT TO AAMCO TRANSMISSIONS, WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED MY TRUCK AS NEEDING A ENGINECONTROL MODULE. MY ISSUE WITH NISSAN IS THAT THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS SIMILIAR TO MINE AND THEY OFFERED NO HELP TO RESOLVE MY PROBLEMS. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SPEAK TO SOME ONE DIRECTLY ABOUT MY ISSUES AS THERE ARE TOO MANY TO LIST HERE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND LOSE POWER BEFORE STALLING. THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID AND TRANSMISSION FLUIDS HAD MIXED AND BOTH THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

THIS PATHFINDER IS EXPERIENCING A FAILURE WITH THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER / RADIATOR ASSEMBLY AND IS WITHIN THE 10 YEAR PERIOD SPECIFIED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT IS BEYOND THE 100,000 MILE LIMIT. DUE TO THE NATURE OF THIS DEFECT, THE SEVERITY OF THIS FAILURE, THE REPETITIVE NATURE OF THE FAILURES AND THE LIMITED OR MISSING FAILURE WARNING SIGNS, I BELIEVE THAT AN INVESTIGATION IS WARRANTED. EXTENDING A WARRANTY FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME A LIMITED MILEAGE THAT MOST CONSUMERS BREEZE THROUGH IN A FEW YEARS IN ORDER TO AVOID A RECALL IS NOT GOOD FOR REPEAT BUSINESS OR SAFETY. NISSAN SETTLED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WHERE IT IDENTIFIED THE DEFECTIVE RADIATOR, BUT CAPPED THE WARRANTY AT 10 YEARS/100,000 MILES. WHETHER OR NOT THE INCIDENT HAPPENED AT 10,000 MILES, OR 200,000 MILES, IT IS STILL A MANUFACTURE DEFECT, NOT CAUSED BY THE CONSUMER. SIMPLY EXTENDING THE WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR THE RADIATOR WITHOUT WARNING CONSUMERS OF THE CONSEQUENCES TO THE TRANSMISSION ONLY MAKES SENSE TO ME IF NISSAN IS LOOKING TO CUT THEIR LOSSES. WHY DIDN'T NISSAN WARN CONSUMERS THAT THE TRANSMISSION COULD FAIL VERY QUICKLY AS A RESULT OF A CRACKED COOLER TUBE? HOW MANY CONSUMERS MUST NEEDLESSLY SUFFER TRANSMISSION FAILURES IN BUSY INTERSECTIONS AND ON BUSY, CONGESTED HIGHWAYS BEFORE NISSAN DOES THE ETHICAL THING AND ISSUES A SAFETY RECALL? THIS DEFECT NEED NOT BE LEFT ON THE CONSUMER'S SHOULDERS, AND COULD VERY EASILY CAUSE SAFETY ISSUES FOR THE OWNER. *TR

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. AFTER EXAMINING WHAT MAY BE THE PROBLEM IT WAS FOUND THAT THE ENGINE COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD MIXED DUE TO A DEFECTIVE OIL COOLER INSIDE THE RADIATOR THAT CAUSED THE VALVE BODY IN THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL THAT CONTROLS STARTING AND TRANSMISSION SHIFTS. VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY TRANSMISSION SHOP FOR A COMPETE OVERHAUL INCLUDING A NEW VALVE BODY. COST OF REPAIRS TOTAL WAS 3074.00 DOLLARS. TRANSMISSION SHOP INSTALLED AN EXTERNAL TRANSMISSION COOLER AND STATED THEY WERE HAVING TO MAKE THESE REPAIRS ON A NUMBER OF THESE NISSANS FOR THIS DEFECT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED WAS DRIVING 40 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE AND SHAKE ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE THEN INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED, WHICH IDENTIFIED THE FAILURE AS THE RADIATOR COOLANT PENETRATING THE TRANSMISSION. AS A RESULT, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD DOWNSHIFT WITH ABNORMAL FORCE. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE RADIATOR, TORQUE CONVERTER AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER, THE FUEL SENDING UNIT IS THE PROBLEM (ERROR CODE PO463), AFTER FUELING UP THE GAS GAUGE LEVEL DROPPED, FUEL LIGHT CAME ON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. NISSAN ASSIST REFUSES TO COVER THE PROBLEM STATING THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE CAMPAIGN IS OVER. I WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT A CAMPAIGN OR EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM UNTIL NOW. WITH SO MANY VEHICLES AFFECTED AND THE DANGER OF NO GAS LEVEL READING IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. NISSAN SURELY WILL NEVER SEE MY BUSINESS FOR ANY FUTURE PURCHASE OF A VEHICLE. IT SURE IS NICE TO KNOW HOW NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE A LEGITIMATE PROBLEM REGARDING THE FUEL SENDING UNIT AN PROVIDED ME NO EXPLANATION OTHER THAN IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY PERIOD. READ ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT'S NEXT THE TRANSMISSION, WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS I BET I'M HEADING THEIR TOO. *TR

DEALERSHIP STATES THAT TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS RADIATOR DUE TO MANUFACTURE DEFECT. REPAIR NOT ALLOWED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO MILEAGE. TOLD THAT REPAIR WOULD BE $10,000. *TR

ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER (AUTOMATIC), WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE A BIT THE VEHICLE SHOW SIGNS THAT THE SPEED-GEAR WILL NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. WHEN I AM AT A RED LIGHT ALSO FOR EXAMPLE ONCE THE LIGHT CHANGE TO GREEN THE CAR TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO ACCELERATE TO THE PROPER SPEED MAKING IT AN INCONVENIENCE FOR OTHER CARS BEHIND ME SINCE THE SPEED WILL NOT PICK UP ON TIME. SOMETIMES ALSO IT TEND TO " SHOT" MAKING A WEIRD NOT BEFORE RESUMING PROPER SPEED AND THIS HAPPEN MOSTLY ON LOCAL ROADS. *TR

CAR LOSES POWER, SHUTTERS, HAS HIGH RPM WITHOUT ACCELERATION, SKIPS GEARS, STALLS. HAD RADIATOR REPLACED ($1,200), BUT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. WAS TOLD A NEW TRANSMISSION IS NEEDED DUE TO COOLANT MIXING WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID AND DAMAGING TRANSMISSION AND COMPONENTS ($4,500). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THERE WAS AN UNEXPECTED INCREASE IN ACCELERATION FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD SPORADICALLY DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITH AN ABNORMAL REDUCTION IN ENGINE RPMS. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,669.

WE HAVE A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER WITH APPROXIMATELY 58,000 MILES. MY WIFE AND 1 WEEK OLD SON WERE OUT AND THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY RAN OUT OF GAS, EVEN THOUGH THE GAUGE SHOWED HALF-FULL. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THEM QUICKLY AND PICK THEM UP. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THERE ARE 100,000S OF 2006-2008 PATHFINDERS AND XTERRAS WITH A VERY WELL KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. I CALLED NISSAN AND APPARENTLY THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS PART THAT EXPIRED JAN 31, 2013 OR 72,000 WHICH EVER IS FIRST. MY CAR HAS 58K MILES AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO COVER THE REPAIR. THERE ARE TWO BIG ISSUES HERE - 1. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND 2. IF THEY KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM WHY WOULD THEY NOT NOTIFY OWNERS TO HAVE THE PART FIXED OR FORMALLY ISSUE A RECALL. NISSAN HAS LOST MY BUSINESS FOREVER... *TR

WIFE DRIVING HOME ON HIGHWAY VEHICLE WAS LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL, PULLED OVER AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, MADE IT HOME OK, THIS VEHICLE HAD A RECALL BUT DUE TO THE MILEAGE DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE REPAIRS, NISSAN KNOWS OF THE DEFECTS OF THIS TRANSMISSION BUT REFUSES TO FIX IT, THE COMPONENTS WERE FAULTY WHEN ASSEMBLED AND THEY REFUSE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FIX THAT IS NEEDED, THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE FOR A FAMILY OF FIVE AND WE DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER WITH 86K MILES. VEHICLE BEGAN HESITATING WHEN TRAVELING 40 MPH ON HIGHWAY, THEN LOSS OF POWER SOMETIMES. THE CAR BEGAN TO OVERHEAT. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. COOLER LINE HAD FAILED AND MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION. I CALLED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 100K BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $2500 OUT OF POCKET. LEARNED OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN 2012. NISSAN NEVER NOTIFIED ME OF THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. IF THEY HAD NOTIFIED ME ON TIME, I WOULD STILL BE UNDER THE 80K WARRANTY. I HAVE NO MONEY TO FIX MY CAR AND NOW I'M STUCK PAYING FOR A CAR THAT I CAN'T DRIVE. *TR

VEHICLE WAS HESITATING WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. DAUGHTER PULLED CAR IN DRIVEWAY, THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL. THEN ALL OF THIS FLUID LEAKED ON TO THE DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. PATHFINDER AT DEALERSHIP NOW TO BE REPAIRED. WILL COST ME $3000 FOR A KNOWN DEFECT. DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT THAT THE CONSUMER HAS TO PAY FOR THE MISTAKES OF THE MANUFACTURER. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL WITH THIS ISSUE - AND NISSAN SHOULD BE THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING THE ENTIRE AMOUNT. *TR

2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER LE - 92,000 MILES EST. - I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2007 AND HAVE BEEN VERY PLEASED UP UNTIL THE PAST TWO WEEKS. MY STORY IS THE SAME AS OTHERS - TRANSMISSION STARTED GETTING ROUGH, PARTICULARLY AROUND 45-50 MPH AND ON INCLINES. THERE IS AN AUDIBLE AND JOLTING CLUNK MOVING FROM NEUTRAL TO DRIVE. WHILE DRIVING IN THE ABOVE RANGE, THE VEHICLE SOUNDS JUST LIKE DRIVING OVER A RUMBLE STRIP ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVEN'T EVEN TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP YET, AND I ALREADY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THIS CAR HAS BEEN BABIED FOR YEARS BEING THAT IT IS THE SOLE AUTOMOBILE THAT MY WIFE AND KIDS DRIVE IN. I'LL BE [XXX] IF I'M GOING TO PAY A $3000 DEDUCTIBLE FOR A DEFECT THAT NISSAN HAS HAD FULL KNOWLEDGE OF FOR YEARS NOW! TO[XXX] WITH THE SETTLEMENT THAT LEFT MOST OF US OUT IN THE COLD WHILE PADDING THE POCKETS OF THE ATTORNEYS! IT IS TIME FOR THE NHTSA TO STEP UP AND MAKE THE ONLY RIGHT AND SAFE DECISION THAT NISSAN REFUSES TO MAKE! THESE CARS ARE NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD IN THIS CONDITION! MINE WILL REMAINED PARKED IN THE DRIVE UNTIL NISSAN IS FORCED TO RECALL EVERY VEHICLE WITH THESE FAULTY RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THIS IS MY COMPLAINT. I HOPE THAT NISSAN DOES THE SMART THING HERE. THEY HAVE LOST ME AS A CUSTOMER FOR LIFE, AND I'VE OWNED OR DRIVEN OVER A DOZEN NISSANS IN MY TIME. IT'S A SHAME THAT THIS COMPANY WILL SIT BACK AND LET THESE COMPLAINTS MOUNT UP UNTIL TRULY FORCED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THEY SHOULD BE DISGRACED KNOWING THAT RIGHT NOW THERE ARE MOTHERS & CHILDREN DRIVING IN VEHICLES THAT COULD SUFFER COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT ANY POINT LEADING TO INJURY AND DEATH. MY ADVICE TO ALL IS TO BRING THIS TO THEIR DOORSTEP. TECHNOLOGY OFFERS US THE ABILITY TO BRING THE FIGHT TO THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN. I'LL BE BOMBARDING EMAIL ADDRESSES AND VOICEMAIL BOXES UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

RADIATOR FAILED, LEAKING ANTIFREEZE INTO TRANSMISSION. THIS MIXING OF ANTIFREEZE AND TRANSMISSION FLUID CAUSED TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. THE VIOLENT VIBRATIONS AND ROUGH SHIFTING IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NISSAN SHOULD RECALL ALL MODELS WITH THIS RADIATOR. I HAD TO PAY $2500.00 TO HAVE THIS DEFECT REPAIRED. *TR

MY VEHICLE WAS SHIFTING WEIRD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT VIOLENTLY LURCHED FORWARD WHILE IN TRAFFIC. I TOOK IT TO THE TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP AND WAS NOTIFIED THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAD COOLANT IN IT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS WILL COST OVER $9,000 TO REPAIR AND THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT THE VEHICLE LURCHING FORWARD SO VIOLENTLY IS UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION COOLER ETC... *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILED DUE TO FAULTY RADIATOR IN OUR 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. OUR 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING ON A VERY BUSY INTERSTATE LATE SUNDAY JUNE 16TH, 2013. THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION FAILED SUDDENLY WITH NO KNOWN NOTICE. LUCKILY HE WAS ABLE TO STEER OF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UNTIL ASSISTANCE COULD COME. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NISSAN IS DEFINITELY AWARE OF. THEY WILL NOT RECALL THESE RADIATORS WHILE FULLY KNOWING THAT THE TRANSMISSION OF ALL 2005 THROUGH 2010 PATHFINDERS WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL LEAVING THEIR CONSUMERS AT A SAFETY RISK. THE REPLACEMENT OF ALL RADIATORS AND TRANSMISSIONS ARE ONLY COVERED UP TO 80,000 MILES OR 8 YEARS, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. AFTER THAT, THE CONSUMER IS ON THE HOOK FOR REPAIRS. PLEASE HELP TO HAVE THESE RADIATORS RECALLED! *TR

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHIFT ROUGHLY. IT WAS DETERMINED THROUGH THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT THE RADIATOR HAD A CRACK IN , AND RADIATOR FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. IT IS A DESIGN FLAW. *TR

THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CODE IS P0463, FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH INPUT. I WENT TODAY 5/25/13 TO GET A MA INSPECTION STICKER. THE VEHICLE FAILED DUE TO THIS CODE. *TR

MY NISSAN PATHFINDER RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION, I GOT AN EXTEND WARRANTY AND NOW THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IS NOT COVERING IT DUE TO RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKED TO THE TRANSMISSION AND IT NOT A COVER BENEFIT NOW I'M SCREW. *TR

AT ABOUT 50 TO 60 MPH THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS CONSTANTLY TO A LOWER GEAR AND THE RPM SHOOTS UP TO 4000 OR SO, I HAVE TO ACCELERATE TO 75 FOR IT TO GIVE ME A HIGHER GEAR. THESE HAPPENS TO ME CONSTANTLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING OVER 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITANT UPON ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING FLUID INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000. *TR

THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION HAS APPEARED TO FAIL IN MY NISSAN THE RADIATOR STARTED TO LEAK SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND I FINALLY HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION HAS STARTED FAIL. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR AND BOTH THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION APPEAR TO BE FAILING WELL BEFORE A NORMAL RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION SHOULD. *TR

VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AT CERTAIN SPEEDS. GOT A TRANS FLUSH HOPING IT WOULD IMPROVE. PROBLEM RETURNED. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO GARAGE AND HAD A NEW WIRING HARNESS PUT ON. PROBLEM RETURNED. GOT STRANDED AND HAD VEHICLE TOWED. DETERMINED THAT COOLANT WAS IN THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. HUGE REPAIR BILL. PART OF THE CLASS ACTION SUIT NOW BUT AM STILL OUT $2500. PROBABLY STARTED OCCURRING BEFORE 80,000 MILES AND HAD I BEEN MORE INVESTIGATIVE AT THAT TIME, BILL WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BECAUSE IT WAS UNDER 80,000. NOW IT'S OVER THAT AMOUNT AND I AM OUT OF LUCK. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT IN NISSAN! *TR

TRANSMISSION STARTING SLIPPING THEN STARTED JERKING WHILE DRIVING THEN IT STARTED OVERHEATING. TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO COVER THE POWERTRAIN. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE COOLER CRACKED WHICH CAUSED THE RADIATOR FLUID TO LEAK INTO THE TRANMISSION AND MESSED UP THE RADIATOR, WHICH IS NOT COVERED BY THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY BECAUSE THE RADIATOR COOLER WAS NOT PART OF IT. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE OVER $6000 TO FIX IT. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. CAUSED BY RUPTURED COOLANT LINE, COOLANT MIXED WITH ATF. REPLACED RADIATOR AND FLUSHED TRANSMISSION, BUT DAMAGE WAS ALREADY DONE. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER AND AS SHE PULLED AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN SHE FELT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING. A MONTH EARLIER WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A SHOP FOR A TRANSMISSION FLUSH AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT IT LOOKED LIKE CHOCOLATE MILK AND THE ENGINE COOLANT HAD MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. HE PERFORMED THE FLUSH AND NOW WE WERE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE VEHICLE AGAIN. I CALLED THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND COULD BE FIXED AND ALL I WOULD HAVE TO PAY WAS A DEDUCTIBLE WHICH WAS CHEAPER THAN REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. I ASKED HOW MUCH WAS THE DEDUCTIBLE, FOOLISHLY THINKING THAT IT WOULD BE AROUND $500, AND THEY SAID IT WOULD BE $3000. I ASKED WHY WASN'T THIS TREATED AS A RECALL AND WAS NOT GIVEN A STRAIGHT ANSWER. JUST THE TYPICAL BS THAT NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY "STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT". ULTIMATELY I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND FLUSHED IT OUT. IT'S WORKING NOW BUT I'M SURE I WILL HAVE TROUBLE ONCE AGAIN. I DON'T KNOW HOW I WILL GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE AND I STILL OWE. I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AND WILL BAD MOUTH THIS COMPANY TO EVERYONE. *TR

GAS GAUGE DOES NOT REFLECT CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL, NO MATTER WHAT THE LEVEL. I HAVE BEEN RE-SETTING TRIP MILEAGE AFTER FILL-UPS TO HAVE AN APPROXIMATE KNOWLEDGE OF FUEL TANK LEVEL. I AM DISABLED AND MY VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS YESTERDAY. *TR

WE NOTICED THE NISSAN STARTING TO JERK ON THE FRWY AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT IMMEDIATELY TO THE MECHANIC THEY GAVE ME BAD NEWS APPEARANTLY THE TRANSMISSION HAD RADIATOR FLUID IN IT. HE SAID HE HAD SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE MANY TIMES HIS EXACT WORD WERE THE WAY NISSAN DESIGNED THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE CAUSES THIS. MY MECHANIC HAD TO REPLACE RADIATOR FLUSH THE WHOLE SYSTEM PUT NEW FLUIDS IN TOTAL COST $976.OO HE ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP BECAUSE HE SAID IT NEEDED TO BE LOOKED AT BY A SPECIALIST SINCE HE COULD NOT GUARANTEE IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN OR IF EVEN THE TRANSMSSION WOULD WORK. WELL IT WORKED BUT THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ON THE WAY TO THE TRANSMISSION SHOP ONCE THEY GOT DONE WITH IT AND REPLACED EVERYTHIN THAT NEEDED TO BE FIXED ON THE INSIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION I PAID $3227.49. ACCORDING TO EVERYTHING I READ THIS CAN HAPEN TO THE PATHFINDER WITHOUT ANY PRIOR PROBLEMS. WE TOOK PRETTY GOOD CARE OF OURS WAS A GREAT VEHICLE TILL WE HAD TO DISH OUT ALMOST 5K AFTER WE HAD JUST PAID IT OFF. I WILL NEVER BUY NISSAN AGAIN! *TR

AFTER A 90K MILE CHECK-UP AND FULL SERVICE IN SPRING 2012, I UNDERSTOOD THAT MY PATHFINDER WAS RUNNING WELL. NEVER WAS THERE A MENTION OF ISSUES WITH THE RADIATOR / TRANSMISSION, NOR WAS THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THESE ELEMENTS REPLACED TO PREVENT AN ISSUE (TO MY KNOWLEDGE.) AT 101K MILES, THE HEAT WENT OUT IN THE REAR SECTION OF THE CAR (I DID NOT REALIZE THIS UNTIL TWO MONTHS HAD GONE BY AND I WAS ARGUING WITH MY FREEZING CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT THAT I HAD HIS HEAT AS HOT AS IT WOULD GO - HE WAS CLEARLY CORRECT AND THE REAR BLOWERS WERE BLASTING HIM WITH ICY AIR.) THERE WAS A "CLUNK" UPON SHIFTING THE CAR INTO REVERSE, AND BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MPH THE TRANSMISSION LAGGED AND SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GRINDING AND WORKING HARD. AT 106K I BROUGHT THE PATHFINDER TO THE NISSAN DEALER WHERE I HAD ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE CAR. THIS WAS THE SAME DEALER WHO HAD DONE THE 90K SERVICE, AS WELL. THEY DETERMINED THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID HAD MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND THAT MY CAR NEEDED BOTH A NEW RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION FOR $9,000.00. (MY TRUCK IS MAYBE WORTH $15,000 AT THIS POINT - REALLY?) AFTER DELIBERATING WITH THE SERVICE SUPERVISOR, HE OFFERED AN ALTERNATE OPTION OF ONLY CHANGING THE RADIATOR AND FLUSHING THE TRANSMISSION SEVERAL TIMES TO ELIMINATE THE CONTAMINATED FLUID. I GAVE THE OK FOR THIS SERVICE OPTION AT $600. SINCE THE SERVICE, MY TRANSMISSION IS STILL LAGGING BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MPH AND THE "CLUNK" STILL HAPPENS DURING A SLOW REVERSE. I AM NOW INVESTIGATING MY OPTIONS FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION AS THE VEHICLE IS STILL IN BEAUTIFUL SHAPE, OTHER THAN ITS ENGINE ISSUES. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THIS ISSUE IS WIDE-SPREAD ENOUGH THAT THE TRANSMISSIONS AND RADIATOR SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED BY NISSAN - OR PAID FOR BY NISSAN SINCE IT'S THEIR FAULTY PARTS THAT CAUSE THE PROBLEM. *TR
