2008 Nissan Pathfinder 4-DR

On this day, 1 November 2021, the SRS warning lamp began flashing on my 2008 Nissan Pathfinder. Is there a recall notification from the manufacturer that covers this as a manufacturers' repair?

The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated while driving 45 mph, the vehicle downshifted independently. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to continue driving to his destination. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic and was informed that the transmission fluid needed to be changed. The contact took the vehicle to a second independent mechanic and was informed that the radiator and the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 116,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON PLACING HER VEHICLE INTO REVERSE, THE VEHICLE SHUT-OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. THE CONTACT AND HER SON EXITED THE VEHICLE, TO MANUALLY STOP THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING BACK AND HITTING A BUILDING. THE CONTACT THEN HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHERE THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE ENGINE COIL BLOCK HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO OVERHEAT AT START-UP. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT UNDISCLOSED SPEEDS, THERE WAS WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHILE THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE SHOWED A HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED HER THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,500.

AIRBAG LIGHT HAD COME ON INDICATING AN ISSUE, BUT ALSO LIGHT AND CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL ARE FAILING. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS FAILURE. ABS BRAKES ACTIVATE RANDOMLY WITHOUT WARNING PREVENTING AND CAUSING THE INABILITY TO STOP. ABS CAN NOT BE STOPPED UNLESS I STOP AND TURN OFF MY VEHICLE AND START AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS. CANT STOP WHEN I NEED TO. DURING CITY DRIVING ON A DRY SURFACE AND APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT MY BRAKES FAILED SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE ABS ACTIVATING AND MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP. RANDOM AND WITHOUT WARNING. FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CRACKED FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND DIDN'T PROVIDE ANY WARNINGS, PINION SEAL LEAK APPEARED LESS THAN TWO YEARS. IN ADDITION VEHICLE WAS IN SERVICE FOR EVAP SYSTEM 11 TIMES IN THE FIRST YEAR WITHOUT RESOLVE. GAD CONSUMPTIONS WAS HORRIBLE AND BELOW ANY SUGGESTED MPG. TIRE SENSORS HAVE NEVER WORKED AND FAILED TO ALERT LOW PRESSURE IN TIRES. TIRE PRESSURE HAS BEEN UNSTABLE NO MATER WHAT TIRES ARE INSTALLED OR HOW MANY SENSORS ARE PUT ON. STABILITY IN STEERING IS SLOPPY WHEN GOING OVER ANY KIND OF BUMP IN THE ROAD. UNSTABLE WHEN DRIVING. SPEED CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS WHEN DRIVING CURVES. ROLLOVERS ARE DEFINITELY POSSIBLE WITHOUT MUCH SPEED WHEN ON RAMPS AND CURVES. USE EXTREME CAUTION.

FAULTY RADIATOR. LEAKING COOLANT INTO MY TRANSMISSION. NOTICED LOSING COOLANT AND SMELLED RADIATOR FLUID AFTER DRIVING. DID RESEARCH ON THE PROBLEM WAS ABLE TO FIND THE FAULTY RADIATOR PART NUMBER WHICH HAPPENED TO MATCH THE ONE I HAD.

I WAS DRIVING IN THE FREEWAY AND THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A WIERD NOISE AND THE ENGINE SEEMED TO BE LOSING POWER AND SKIPPING GEARS, I PULLED OVER AND THERE WAS A MIXTURE OF OF WATER AND SOMETHING ELSE, LOOKED LIKE MILK COMMING OUT THE RADAR AREA MY CAR ONLY HAS 153000 MILES

WHILE DRIVING, FROM A STOP, A LOUD CLUNK OCCURRED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF LOW GEAR. UPON ARRIVAL AT HOME AND INSPECTION, IT WAS NOTED THAT THE COOLANT WAS CONTAMINATED WITH A DARK FLUID. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ENGAGE ANY GEAR AT THIS TIME AND IS NOT DRIVABLE. RESEARCH INDICATES THAT SUSPECTED CAUSE IS CROSS CONTAMINATION BETWEEN COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID, MOST LIKELY DUE TO RADIATOR DEFICIENCY.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO COOLANT BEING LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION HOUSING CAUSING FAILURE OF TRANSMISSON AND CAUSING MODULE TO BLOW FUSE TO KEEP FROM HARMING ENGINE. THE ENGINE DIED AT SIGNAL LIGHT AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO MECHANIC. THERE I WAS TOLD TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED.

PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER/GUIDES AND THE CHAINS 61,000 MILES.

MY ECM FUSE KEEPS BLOWING. NOW IT WANT START OR DO ANYTHING. I WAS SITTING STILL AT A PHARMACY WHEN I TRIED TO TAB TGE GAS AT THE DRIVE THROUGH TO PULL UP AT THE WINDOW WHEN I NOTICE MY TRUCK WOULDN'T GO THEN I CUT IT OFF AND TRY TO START IT BACK UP AND NOTICE IT WOULDN'T START SO THAN I CHANE MY ECM FUSE AMD NOTICE IT KEEP BLOWING

JUST BOUGHT AND CHECKED THE ANITFREEZE TO FIND A THICK SLUDGE IN THE RADIATOR AND OVERFLOW. SMELLS LIKE OIL

TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING, TOOL TO MTN VIEW NISSAN CHATTANOOGA TEN & THEY REPLACED THE FLUID & ANTI FREEZE FLUID. I MENTIONED THAT I HAD READ OF THIS TYPE VEHICLE HAVING THESE ISSUES WITH THE RADIATOR COOLANT GETTING INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID & CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. THE SERVICE REP TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT DESIGNED LIKE THAT & JUST THE FLUID NEEDED CHANGED. I HAD THEM DO THAT & THE NEXT DAY DRIVING IT OVERHEATED AGAIN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO EAST RIDGE TRANSMISSION & THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CONTAINED RADIATOR FLUID & THAT THE TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR & FLUIDS ALL NEEDED REPLACED. I HAD THEM DO THAT & IT DID REPAIR THE PROBLEM. NISSAN KNOWS OF THIS DEFECT & SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR IT.

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO STUMBLE FOR A SECOND, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN FELT LIKE IT HAD ALMOST NO POWER. WOULDNT ACCELERATE WELL, DIDNT SHIFT NORMALLY, AND DIDNT FEEL LIKE IT WAS RUNNING AS WELL AS NORMAL. WHEN WE PARKED THE VEHICLE, I TURNED IT OFF TO HOPEFULLY "RESET" WHATEVER MAY HAVE MALFUNCTIONED. WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, IT WOULDNT START. THE STARTER WOULDNT EVEN TRY TO START THE MOTOR, LIKE IT WASNT EVEN GETTING POWER. BEING A MECHANIC BY TRADE, I JUMPED OUT TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON, AND HAD MY WIFE TRY TO START IT WHILE I WATCHED & LISTENED... AS SHE TURNED THE KEY TO START IT, I COULD HEAR THE STARTER RELAY CLICK TO SEND VOLTAGE TO THE STARTER, BUT THE STARTER WASNT RESPONDING. AFTER FURTHER EXAMINATION, I FOUND A BLOWN FUSE IN THE FUSEBOX UNDER THE HOOD. IT WAS THE "A/T ECU" FUSE. THIS IS WHERE THINGS GET BAD. I REPLACED THE FUSE TO GET US HOME, BUT AS SOON AS WE GOT HOME AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, I TRIED IMMEDIATELY TO RESTART IT. AGAIN, NOTHING HAPPENED... NO CRANK, NO START. SAME FUSE WAS BLOWN AGAIN. AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT FUSE IS ON THE CIRCUIT TO THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THIS MODULE HAD MALFUNCTIONED AND NOW BLOWS THE FUSE EVERY TIME IT IS REPLACED. THAT LED ME TO DROP THE TRANSMISSION PAN TO CHECK IT OUT, AND WHAT DID I FIND? TRANSMISSION FLUID ALL CLOUDED UP AND CONTAMINATED WITH RADIATOR COOLANT. HOW DID THAT GET THERE? AFTER INSPECTING THAT, I FOUND THAT THE RADIATOR HAD FAILED AND ALLOWED COOLANT TO MIX WITH THE TRANS FLUID. THIS COOLANT IS ALSO DAMAGING THE CLUTCHES IN THE TRANSMISSION, AS IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO PUT EXTRA STRESS ON THEM DUE TO THE WAY THE VEHICLE SHIFTS NOW. THEN I REALIZED NUMEROUS PEOPLE WITH PATHFINDERS, TITANS, AND MANY NISSAN VEHICLES HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. NOW I'M UPSET BECAUSE I HAVE A TRUCK WITH AN EXPENSIVE PROBLEM THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR, AND SHOULD FIX.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO ANTIFREEZE COOLANT CROSS CONNECTION INTO TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLING SYSTEM. COST TO REPAIR $4,700.00. 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER SE 4.0 4WD. TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE TRAVELING A 4 LANE DIVIDED STATE AND FEDERAL HIGHWAY MOVING STRAIGHT. 03/08/2020

RADIATOR LEAKED AND MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION OIL LOOKS LIKE STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE. GEARS NOW GRIND WHEN SHIFTING DURING NORMAL DRIVING.

TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING IN FIRST GEAR. HAS WHEN INTO LIMP MODE MANY TIMES. HAVE HAD THE FLUID CHANGE A COUPLE TIMES. ONCE IT WAS SLIPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. HAD IT REMOVE AND REBUILT. ANTIFREEZE WAS FOUND IN THE TRANSMISSION. HOW MANY REPORTS BEFORE THEY RECALL THESE VEHICLES.

VEHICLE ROUGH SHIFTING AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN WENT TO A SAFETY MODE AND WONT START ANYMORE. APPARENTLY IS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM CAUSED FROM THE RADIATOR OIL COOLER. MECHANIC IDENTIFIED THE SITUATION AS A SAFETY RECALL.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN FLASHING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY AIRBAG MODULAR FAILED DUE TO CORROSION AND THAT THERE'S ONLY 1 LEFT IN THE WHOLE UNITED STATES. THEY ARE TRYING TO CHARGE ME $1,500.00 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, WHEN IT WAS RECALLED PREVIOUSLY BY NISSAN. I LIVE IN MARYLAND AND WAS NEVER AWARE OF THIS RECALL AND NISSAN SHOWS NO RECALLS EVER MADE ON MY VEHICLE.

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON LAST NIGHT WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 35MPH ENGINE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY, NO POWER NO LIGHTS. IT HAD SHUT OFF ON ME ABOUT 1 WEEK AGO IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING AT LEAST 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO INDEPENDENT MECHANICS WHO CONFIRMED THAT RADIATOR FLUID LEAKED INTERNALLY INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THEY COULD NOT ASSIST BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000.*DT *DL

TAMARA RECALL. VEHICLE IN MOTION 60MPH JUMPED FROM 2WD TO 4WD AUTOMATICALLY. VEHICLE THEN LOCKED IN 5TH GEAR. MECHANIC STATED RADIATOR FLUID MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID, THEN BOTH CONTROL MODULES EXPIRED. VEHICLE WILL NOT START OR CRANK.

MY 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND WAS REPLACED TWICE IN 2017. I BROUGHT TO THE NISSAN AUTHORIZED DEALER FIRST FOR A THUMBING SOUND WHEN PUSHING GAS PEDAL AFTER TAKING THE FOOT OFF. WHEN IT WORSENED THEY SAID IT WAS THE CALIPERS AND CHANGED MY CALIPERS FOR $2000. BUT THE THUMBING SOUND PERSISTED. AFTER A FEW MONTHS THEY SAID IT WAS TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND THEY CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION TWICE. THE THUMBING SOUND PERSISTED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN ABOVE 40 MPH. THE TRANSMISSION WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE SOUND GOT WORSE. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND BROKEN METAL PIECES IN THE REAL AXLE BOX. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY SAID THEY CANNOT HELP SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL. I SEE SIMILAR INCIDENTS REPORTED BY CONSUMERS IN THE INTERNET. NOW I HAVE TO PAY $3000 TO REPLACE THE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY ACCORDING TO THE QUOTE GIVEN BY THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR PARTS AND LABOR. THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED DURING THE WARRANTY TIME AND NISSAN DEALERSHIP COULDN'T DIAGNOSE IT. NOT THEY SAY THE WARRANTY WAS OVER A YEAR AGO. HAVING THE GEAR BOX BROKEN IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN. THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD BUT NOW NISSAN REJECTS TO CORRECT IT.

COOLANT FLUID CONTAMINATING THE TRANSMISSION

I BOUGHT THE NISSAN PATHFINDER BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT IN LATE 2007. IT ONLY HAS 45 THOUSAND MILES ON IT. I'VE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE UNTIL NOW. ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO I THOUGHT SOMEONE WAS STEALING GAS OUT OF MY VEHICLE, BUT THOUGHT IT WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE IT'S KEPT BEHIND A LOCKED FENCE . SATURDAY JULY 13TH I HAD TO FILL UP BECAUSE OF A STORM. WHEN I GAS FINISHED FUELING IT SHOWED THAT I HAD AN EMPTY TANK. I KNEW THAT WAS WRONG SO I DECIDED TO GIVE NISSAN A CALL AT 1-800-647-7261. I SPOKE TO AN AGENT AND TOLD HIM MY PROBLEM, HE GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER AND TOLD ME TO CALL THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP CLOSEST TO ME . I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ANY SERVICES I HAD DONE TO MY VEHICLE. . I DON'T AGREE . THERE ARE MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AS MYSELF AND I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM . IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME , PLEASE FEEL FREE TO HELP. I'M ON A FIXED INCOME AND THIS WAS NOT ANY NEGLIGENCE ON MY PART. I HAVE A CASE NUMBER ALREADY ON FILE WITH NISSAN, BUT THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T WANT TO HONOR IT. [XXX]. HEL ME WIT THE NEXT STEP TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED. THANK YOU INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. CONSERVED ABOUT SAFETY TO DRIVE THE CAR

RADIATOR FLUID AND COOLANT ARE MIXING. RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION ARE BUSTED. CAR BROKE DOWN WHILE DRIVING.

CAR DROVE FINE ON DEC 26TH 2018 I STARTED IT UP ON DEC27TH IT STARTED AMD I PUT IT IN REVERSE IT WOULDNT MOVE I CUT IT OFF AMD IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN HAD IT TOWED TO SHOP A FEW DAYS LATER THEY KEPT IT FOR A WEEK AMD FOUND OUT THE TCM WAS FRIED DUE DO TO COOLANT CONTAMINATION CAR STILL NOT RUNNING AS OF 5/24/19 IT IS STILL SITTING IN THE YARD I STILL OWE 18 MONTHS ON IT NO WARNING NO NOTHING JUST DIED OUT OF NOWHERE

MAY14,2019 MY HORN STOPPED WORKING AND MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS FLASHING. NOTICED MY AIR BAG CAME ON WHEN I STARTED IT UP ON MAY 14, 2019 ALSO THAT DAY I HAD A CAR PULL OUT IN FRONT ME AND NOTICED THE HORN DOES NOT WORK EITHER. AFTER GOOGLING THE PROBLEM I WAS INFORMED NISSAN HAD A RECALL BUT DEALERS WERE NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM AND CHARGING CUSTOMERS TO FIX IT AT THEIR COST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR CONTINUOUSLY BLINKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TRI-CITIES NISSAN (3602 BRISTOL HWY, JOHNSON CITY, TN 37601, (423) 401-2360), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFUSED TO PAY THE DIAGNOSTIC FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BY THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V690000 (AIR BAGS). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTING HARD.THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAYS MY TRANSMISSION COOLER FAILED, CAUSING MY COOLANT AND RADIATOR FLUID TO MIX. BECAUSE OF THIS I HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, AND RADIATOR.

I WAS DRIVING MY NISSAN PATHFINDER 2008 ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY 3 CHILDREN'S WHEN I NOTICED HIGH VIBRATION COMING INSIDE THE CAR I WAS NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON I TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN DEALER I WAS TOLD MY RADIATOR BROKE AND MIXED COOLANT WITH MY TRANSMISSION COST TO REPAIR $5800.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT RADIATOR FLUID LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND DAMAGED THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS OPENED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

WHILE DRIVING THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14TH, 2019, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER IN A NEARBY PARKING LOT AS SOON AS I COULD. AT THIS POINT, I NOTICED THAT MY FUEL GAUGE HAD DROPPED FROM 1/4 TANK DOWN TO EMPTY. I USED AN ODB2 SCANNER TO CHECK MY ERROR CODES, AND FOUND AN ERROR CODE P0463 (FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR - VOLTAGE HIGH). I IMMEDIATELY PROCEEDED TO A GAS STATION, REFUELED, AND CLEARED THE ENGINE CODE TO SEE IF IT WOULD REAPPEAR. IT HAS NOT SINCE REAPPEARED. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDERS, AND THAT THERE IS A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THE ISSUE. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID IS 10V075000. I CALLED NISSAN'S PUBLIC NUMBER AND A LOCAL DEALERSHIP OWNED SERVICE CENTER. NEITHER FOUND ANY ACTIVE RECALLS REGARDING MY VEHICLE, AND NEITHER KNEW WHAT A NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER WAS. I ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER OF THE SERVICE CENTER. I LEFT A VOICE MAIL FOR THEM THURSDAY AFTERNOON, BUT HAVE NOT HEARD BACK. BASED ON THE SYMPTOMS MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING, I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE IS LIKELY SUFFERING FROM THE SAME ISSUE AS DESCRIBED IN THE AFOREMENTIONED NHTSA CAMPAIGN, AND THAT MY VEHICLE, AND LIKELY OTHERS, WERE MISSED IN THE RECALL.

BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED AT 123,000 WAS RUNNING GREAT TILL 6 MONTHS LATER AT 138860 MILES ALL OF A SUDDEN TRUCK DID NOT WANT TO START. NO CRANK NOTHING. HAD BEEN SERVICED ONE MONTH BEFORE AND COME TO FIND OUT RADIATOR FLUID LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION. BAD RADIATOR BY NISSAN AND TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED/REBUILT

EXPERIENCING JERKING AT OR ABOVE 40 MPH, CHANGED TRANSMISSION FLUID, FLUID WAS CONTAMINATED APPEARED PINK AND MILKY AT DRAINING,HARD SHIFTING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT DISPLAYING THE CORRECT FUEL LEVEL. ALSO, THE FUEL AND CHECK ENGINE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A WRECK. I REAR ENDED SOMEONE. I WAS DOING 50 TO 55 MILES PER HOUR BEFORE I HIT MY BRAKES. THERE WASN'T ENOUGH TIME TO SLOW DOWN MUCH. EVERYTHING I'VE READ SAYS IF IT WAS A FRONT ON COLLISION MORE THAN 15MPH SAYS THE AIR BAGS SHOULD DEPLOY. I KNOW I WAS GOING WELL OVER 15MPH WHEN I HIT THEM. WHY DID THEY NOT DEPLOY?

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON VEHICLE AND NISSAN SAYS NOT PART OF YEARS OF PATHFINDER RECALL ''. SAME ISSUE AS OTHER BUT A 2008 MODEL. NISSAN WANTS TO MUCH MONEY TO FIX A NISSAN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM SAYS CONNECTOR. WILL NOT DEPLOY IN ACCIDENT OR MAY DEPLOY ANY TIME?????? SAFETY ISSUE FOR PUBLIC. APPROX TIME OF ISSUE STARTED

TRANSMISSON INNER COOLER TANK IN RADIATOR LEAKS , GETTING WATER IN TRANSMISSON. RUINING TRANSMISSION /COMPUTER ETC. HAD TO BE REBUIT. NISSAN WANTED OVER $5,OOO. GOT IT REPAIRED AT OTHER SHOP OVER $3,000 WITH STILL HAVING TO GET IT PROGRAMMED AT NISSAN. POOR DESIGN AND FAULTY TANKS IN RADIATOR. I HAD SHOP PLACE EXTERNAL TRANSMISSON RADIATOR AND NEW RADIATOR TO NEVER LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. NISSAN WAS TRYING TO BUY MY VEHICLE FOR $800 AND WAS WORTH OVER $6,800 AT THE TIME. HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE NORMAL CITY DRIVING 15-70 MILES A DAY AT THE TIME. PER NISSAN AND THE OTHER REPAIR SHOPS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND HAVE MANY REPAIRS DUE TO THIS ISSUE. APPROX ON DATE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE GEARS WERE SLIPPING AND NOT CHANGING NORMALLY. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH PROVIDED A TEMPORARY REMEDY. A SECOND INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND INSTALLED A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: DP12004 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED A CASE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHENEVER I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 65 MPH AND HIT A BUMP MY TRUCK WILL ROCK VIOLENTLY BACK AND FORTH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. ALSO, THE BACK END OF TRUCK IS VERY WOBBLY IF I DRIVE OVER A HUMP. I'M AFRAID THAT THE TRUCK IS GOING TO ROLLOVER.

IVE BEEN HAVING UPTEEN AMOUNT OF ISSSUES WITH THIS CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I BOUGHT THE CAR BACK IN 2015. WITH TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR PROBLEMS. THOSE ARE FIXED. IT ALSO HAS A FUEL PUMP ISSUE WHICH THERE IS A RECALL FOR!! MY CAR READA EMPTY AT A QUARTER OF A TANK. ALSO MY DRIVE TRAIN. WHEEL HUBS ETC. IVE REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES AND STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH THOSE. MY SWAY BAR AND TIRE RODS MY FRONT SUSPENSION SOUNDS LIKE AND FEELS LIKE ITS FALLING APART. MY CAR DONT ACCELERATE LIKE IT SHOULD, WHEN IM BRAKING GOING DOWN HILL THE RPMS GO UP TO 3 OR 4 RPMS AS IM BRAKING. NOW I HAVE MY 3 YR OLD TWIN BOYS IN THE CAR WITH ME AND ALL I WANT IS A SAFE VEHICLE FOR MY KIDS AND MYSELF. NOW THE ISSUES IVE BEEN HAVING, THERE ARE RECALLS FOR BUT NOT FOR MY VEHICLE 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER!

FOR SEVERAL YEARS, RANDOMLY WHEN I WOULD FIRST START MY CAR AND DRIVE THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD BE ON AND WHEN I HIT THE BREAKS A GRINDING NOISE COULD BE HEARD. SINCE IT WAS SO RANDOM I OFTEN THOUGHT I HIT THE PARKING BRAKE WHEN I WAS PREVIOUSLY GETTING OUT OF THE CAR BECAUSE - IF I PUSHED THE PARKING BRAKE DOWN AND RESTARTED MY CAR THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF AND ALL WOULD BE WELL. WITHIN THE LAST TWO WEEKS THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN CONSTANTLY REOCCURRING.THIS PAST WEEKEND, RESTARTING MY CAR WOULDN'T CORRECT THE ISSUE AND WAS INOPERABLE FOR SEVERAL HOURS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I AM AWARE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE ON OTHER NISSAN MODELS (ARMADA, FRONTIER, QX 56, TITAN). HERE IS A LINK TO THE VIDEO OF MY CAR HTTPS://DRIVE.GOOGLE.COM/OPEN?ID=1BVK0LYX_-BS270QVM1ZZHBEX1WLV4DDD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND LOST POWER. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND NOTICED OIL IN THE RADIATOR FLUID. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT WATER WAS IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (MOSSY NISSAN NATIONAL CITY, 2700 NATIONAL CITY BLVD, NATIONAL CITY, CA 91950, 619-474-7011) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,697.

I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CAR SLIPPING GEARS. I TOOK IT TO A REPUTABLE TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP WHERE I WAS INFORMED THERE IS A "CRACK" IN THE COOLING PART OF MY RADIATOR AND MY RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION AND BOTH NEED REPLACED. ALSO THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID ARE MIXED TOGETHER.

THE DASHBOARD FUEL GUAGE DOES NOT RELIABLY REPORT THE LEVEL OF FUEL. THIS ISSUE LED TO A RECALL FOR 2008 PATHFINDERS IN THE PAST, BUT APPARENTLY NOT FOR MY VIN. THE ISSUE OCCURS AT VARIOUS TIMES, INCLUDING WHEN STATIONARY OR MOVING. SOMETIMES REFILLING THE TANK WILL GIVE A FULL TANK READING, SOME TIMES IT WILL NOT. IT WILL ALSO ALLOW THE TANK TO RUN DOWN TO EMPTY WITHOUT REFLECTING THAT ON THE GUAGE. OFTEN, BUT NOT ALWAYS, THE YELLOW SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE AS A RESULT.

I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP WITH 109,000 MILES ON IT. NOT EVEN A MONTH AFTER BUYING IT, THE INTERCOOLER LINE CRACKED CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND COOLANT TO MIX. THIS COMPLETELY DESTROYED MY RADIATOR, WHICH I HAD TO REPLACE, ALONG WITH FLUSHING THE ENTIRE COOLING SYSTEM. IT ALSO CAUSED MY TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. TO REPAIR MY CAR WILL COST ME ABOUT $5,000. I WENT TO NISSAN ABOUT THIS AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT HELP ME BECAUSE THE CAR HAS OVER 100,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS ABLE TO TEMPORARILY FIX IT, BUT NOW MY TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY JUNK AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT OR GIVE IT BACK TO THE BANK. ALL OF THESE ISSUES OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

TURNED A CORNER, DRIVING BELOW SPEED LIMIT ON CITY STREET, ALL LIGHTS WITHIN THE DASHBOARD THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN OFF (4WD, SERVICE ENGINE SOON, ETC.) WENT ON, AND ALL READINGS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON WENT OFF (ODOMETER, AND SO ON). STOPPED AT RED LIGHT; TURNED OFF VEHICLE HOPING TO RESET BEFORE DRIVING HOME AND IT WOULD NOT TURN ON; LIGHTS, RADIO, A/C WERE STILL ACTIVE SO IT WAS NOT THE BATTERY. ONLY ABLE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL WITH VEHICLE OFF TO ROLL TO A PARKING SPACE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. NO PREVIOUS ISSUES OR WARNING PRIOR AS I PERFORM REGULAR MAINTENANCE AS RECOMMENDED BY DEALERSHIP - HAPPENED SUDDENLY. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING DAY AS IT WAS ALREADY AFTER MIDNIGHT. THIS FOLLOWED TWO ATTEMPTS CALLING MY WARRANTY COMPANY AND BEING DISCONNECTED; ULTIMATELY CALLED FAMILY IN THE AREA TO ASSIST WHO HELPED ME ROLLED THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING LOT ACROSS THE STREET. AFTER TOW AND DIAGNOSIS, DEALER FOUND FAILURE IN THE RADIATOR (LEAKED COOLANT INTO TRANSMISSION) AND THERE FOR FAILURE OF TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE). DEALER CLAIMS NO RECALL PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT YET THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS EXACT RECALL AND MODEL IN THE NATIONAL DATABASE WHEN I RESEARCHED FURTHER AFTER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ADJUSTER DENIED MY CLAIM FOR COVERAGE. THIS PROCESS ALONE TOOK 7-9 BUSINESS DAYS; I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS.

CAR BEGIN HAVING ISSUES WHILE SHIFTING, MADE CLUNKING SOUNDS WHILE DRIVING, NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY BOTH ON HIGHWAY AND CITY DRIVING. WE TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY DISCOVERED COOLANT FROM THE RADIATOR HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSED IT TO FAIL. REPAIR SHOP QUOTED US FOR RADIATOR REPLACEMENT AND TRANSMISSION SERVICE BUT WARNED IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS TOO CONTAMINATED IT COULD NEED A WHOLE REPLACEMENT OF THAT AS WELL. UPON SEARCHING ONLINE FOR THIS ISSUE WE FOUND IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR NISSAN PATHFINDERS OF THIS AGE AND WITH THIS RADIATOR TYPE. IT CAN CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO SEIZE UP WHILE DRIVING AND RENDER THE CAR UNABLE TO BE CONTROLLED.

AIR BAG LIGHT BLINKIN

"NISSAN PATHFINDER" MY VEHICLE DECELERATES ABRUPTLY AS A RESULT TO AN ISSUE INVOLVING THE RADIATOR FLUID & TRANSMISSION FLUID MIXING. THIS RESULTED IN THE NEED FOR THEM TO BE REPLACED FOR A COST OF NEARLY $4000.00. THIS SEEMS TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT AND IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AS IT WILL BEGIN JERKING AND SLOWING DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER SHOULD ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM IF A VEHICLE IS UNDER 200,000 MILES. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND DRIVING (IN MOTION) WITH NO ISSUES ALONG THE INTERSTATE (HIGHWAY) WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT STARTED JERKING AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING. IT CAUGHT ME BY SURPRISE AS I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE TILL THAT POINT. THE ISSUES OCCURS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND OUT OF THE BLUE. NISSAN SHOULD REIMBURSE OWNERS OR REPLACE THE TRANSMISSIONS AND/OR RADIATORS AT NO COST SINCE THE DEFECT WAS MANUFACTURE RELATED.

RADIATOR FAILURE.... CAUSING RADIATOR FLUID TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION. RUINING THE TRANSMISSION AND COMPUTER BOARD. I WAS DRIVING IT AND IT WAS ACTING WEIRD, SO I PARKED IT TURNED THE CAR OFF WENT TO TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WOULDN'T START.

THE LIGHT SHOWING THE AIRBAGS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY IS ON AND FLASHING. IT CAME ON MAY23, 2018 WHEN I TURNED THE KEY ON TO GO TO THE STORE. IT NEVER GOES OFF

THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE (I THINK THAT'S WHAT IT'S CALLED) HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT COST ME $350 BUT I DIDN'T KEEP A RECEIPT. AN INDIVIDUAL THAT HAD A SHOP DID THE REPAIR BUT HAS SINCE MOVED AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE. I WAS UNABLE TO PUT MORE THAN A FEW GALLONS OF GAS WHEN PUMPING GAS BEFORE IT WOULD CUT OFF. I WOULD WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND PUMP A FEW MORE GALLONS AND IT WOULD CUT OFF AGAIN. I HAD IT REPLACED LAST YEAR BUT I DON'T REMEMBER THE MILEAGE.

TAKATA RECALL I READ THAT THERE HAS BEEN SOME COLAINTS ON NISSAN PATHFINDERS 08 TO 10 ON TRANSMISSIONS . I'M HAVING A PROBLEM OUT OF MY TRANSMISSION. IT STICKS AND SOMETIMES I HAVE TO CUT MY CAR OFF FOR IT TO SHIFT BACK SO I CAN PULL OUT.

ON MONDAY MAY 7,2018 MY CAR WENT INTO REVERSE AS I WAS LEAVING MY DRIVE WAY BUT WAS VERY HESITANT ON MOVING. SO I PUT MY PATHFINDER BACK IN DRIVE AND IT STARTED HOPING BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY. I TRIED TO REVERSE AGAIN BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND TOOK THE VEHICLE IN. AFTER BEING THERE ALL DAY THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RADIATOR HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND BOTH PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MY VEHICLE HAD 139,627 MILES ON IT SO THERE WAS NO WARRANTY ON IT. I CAME HOME RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR THE ISSUE BACK IN 2013 BUT I CANNOT FILE TO GET ANY MONEY FROM THIS LAWSUIT SO I CALLED THE CORPORATE NUMBER FOR NISSAN. WHEN I SPOKE TO THE LADY ON THE PHONE SHE INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP WITH THE COST OF FIXING BOTH PARTS TO MY VEHICLE. SHE SAID BECAUSE I WAN'T THE ORIGINAL OWNER (MIND YOU THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR CERTIFIED USED FROM MOSSY NISSAN WITH 30,000 MILES ON IT) THAT THERE WAS NO RECORD OF ME OWNING THE VEHICLE. I SENT HER A COPY OF MY TITLE TO SHOW I WAS THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE BUT YET SHE SAID SINCE I HAD GONE OVER MILEAGE AND THE TIME FRAME FOR ANY WARRANTY THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. I ENDED UP HAVING TO PAY THE FULL AMOUNT OF $4697.18 FOR MY PATHFINDER TO BE FIXED. WHAT MAKES ME UPSET IS I ALWAYS HAVE MY VEHICLE SERVICED AT NISSAN AND YET NO ONE IN THE LAST 8 YEARS HAS TOLD ME TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR FOR THIS ISSUE. WHEN I ASKED THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE ABOUT THIS HE SAID THEY AREN'T ALLOWED TO MENTION THIS ISSUE UNLESS THAT VEHICLE HAS A CODE. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS NISSAN IS THE WORST! I HONESTLY WOULD HAVE CHANGED THE RADIATOR AT MY OWN COST IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS WAS AN ISSUE. INSTEAD I ENDED UP HAVING TO OPEN UP A CREDIT CARD FOR THEIR COMPANY TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY AVOIDED.

WHEN THE CAR WAS PUT IN REVERSE OR PARK THE GEAR CHANGE STARTED TO BECOME DELAYED AND ROUGH THIS LATER PROGRESSED TO A LACK OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. THESE PROBLEMS HINTED TO THERE BEING A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. TOOK IT INTO A SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE COOLANT WAS MIXING IN WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID THEREFORE DAMAGING BOTH THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION.

AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF NOW AND NOW THE HORN HAS STOP WORKING BECAUSE OF THE AIR BAG.

I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CODE P1774, IN MY CAR AND I WANT TO KNOW IF I CAN HELP

THIS PARTICULAR YEAR AND MAKE OF VEHICLE HAS A KNOWN MANUFACTURERS DEFECT THAT CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO MIX IN WITH THE RADIATOR, WHICH IN TURN RUINS YOUR VEHICLE AND CAUSES ABOUT $5,000+ IN REPAIRS. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WAS SETTLED REGARDING THIS, AND ALL NISSAN DID WAS EXTEND THEIR WARRANTY. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS DEFECT DOESN'T ALWAYS BREAKDOWN PRIOR TO THE WARRANTY ENDING, IN MY CASE, IT HAPPENED SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY WAS UP. SO NOW I'M STUCK WITH A VEHICLE I PURCHASED 2 YEARS AGO, THAT DOESN'T WORK, AND I STILL OWE MONEY ON IT, ALL BECAUSE OF THIS KNOWN DEFECT.

COOLANT IS IN MY SONS TRANSMISSION . WE WENT TO GET IT IT FIXED AND WE WERE TOLD DON'T. TO DRAIN AND FLUSH IT WE WILL KILL THE TRANSMISSION!! THAT NISSAN NEW THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING AND THEY HAD A RECALL. WE CALLED THEM TODAY BUT THEY SAID THEY WON'T FIX IT TO BAD. HOW SAD. NOT RIGHT AND I'M NOT HAPPY

ON 17 JANUARY 2018, I WAS DRIVING WESTBOUND ON I-20, I WAS TAKING MY NIECE AND NEPHEWS TO SCHOOL, THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT A FEW MILES AHEAD, SO TRAFFIC WAS CRAWLING LUCKILY. IT STARTED WHEN WITH THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T RESPOND WHEN I PUSHED ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT WOULD TAKE A WHILE FOR THE VEHICLE TO GAIN SPEED. THEN I STARTED SMELLING OIL COMING FROM THE AIR VENTS, SO I TURNED OFF THE HEATER AND TRIED TO MAKE MY WAY TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY BUT WAS UNABLE TO DO SO BECAUSE OF THE HEAVY TRAFFIC. I HAD TO TURN THE HEATER ON AGAIN BECAUSE IT WAS COLD OUTSIDE AND I HAD THE KIDS IN THE CAR. AS I WAS TRYING TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, ALL TRAFFIC STOPPED, AND I SMELLED THE OIL AGAIN AND SAW SMOKE. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE CAR AND POPPED THE HOOD TO CHECK WHAT WAS SMOKING OR WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. AS I WAS LOOKING UNDER THE HOOD, I HEARD FLUID LEAKING, SO I STARTED LOOKING AROUND, AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR, THERE WAS A HUGE OIL SPILL. LATER I FOUND OUT IT WAS TRANSMISSION FLUID AND IT WAS MILKY WHITE ATTACHED ARE THE PICTURES OF THE OIL SPILL AND WHEN I PULLED THE TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK AND SAW IT WAS MILKY WHITE ALSO. UPON DOING MY RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL AND YEAR OF VEHICLE. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, AND ALL THEY DID WAS EXTEND THE WARRANTY, THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL, PEOPLE CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE ISSUE REPAIR COSTS ARE NEARLY $6000.00

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO (BENTON NISSAN, 5487 ACADEMY WAY, BESSEMER, AL 35022) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SPIRAL CABLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 131,476.

AT ABOUT 94000 MILES THE RADIOATOR CRACKED CAUSING THE ANTIFREEZE TO MIX WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID. WHICH IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH THESE VECHILES. SO TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND HAD TO HAVE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AND RADIATOR AS WELL. NOW AT 128000 THE PATHFINDER IS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. THE RADIATOR IS FILL OF THE MILKY FLUID THAT IS THE RESULT OF THE TWO FLUIDS MIXING. SO WITH IN TWO YEARS DO TO THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED BUT THIS TIME I HAVE TO PAY THE WHOLE THING CAUSE THE PATHFINDER IS OVER THE 100000 MILE MARKER. LAST TIME I HAD TO PAY THE FIRST 3000 DOLLARS OF THE BILL. HOW IS THIS PROBLEM NOT BEING RECALLED ON THESE PATHFINDERS.

THIS CAR HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES OF A VIBRATION THAT COMES AND GOES EVERY NOW AND THEN AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND MECHANICS AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT'S MAKING THAT VIBRATION ON THE VEHICLE AND JUST THE OTHER DAY 01/10/2018 MY WIFE WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE WORK AND SHE SAID THAT THE CAR STARTED VIBRATING VERY BAD THAT IT FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO FALL A PART AND THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND IT STOP VIBRATING AFTER A LITTLE BIT AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE BUT THE LIGHT IS ON SO I HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC AND SEE WHAT'S THE ISSUE AND HOPEFULLY HE FINDS IT THIS TIME.

RADIATOR COOLENT LEAKED IN TO TRANSMISSION AT 70000

STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE-LIKE FLUID LEAKING FROM THE RADIATOR INFILTRATED THE TRANSMISSION, CAUSING CATATROPHIC FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION. THIS PROBLEM WAS WIDELY PUBLICIZED IN OTHER STATES BUT NOT CALIFORNIA. I WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE CAR'S FAILURE TO ACCELERATE WHILE ENTERING ONTO THE FREEWAY. SHAME ON NISSAN NOT TO EXTEND WARNINGS NATIONWIDE.

THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AND THE RADIATOR FLUID IS MIXING WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED ONCE, AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SENSOR (TPMS) INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE TPMS WAS REPLACED, BUT THE SENSOR ILLUMINATED AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000.

I AM ONE OF THOSE UNFORTUNATE INDIVIDUALS WHO RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER LE WHICH WAS IN GREAT SHAPE AND MAINTAINED WELL WITH AN ALMOST IMPECCABLE CARFAX REPORT. JUST AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE GOT STUCK IN 4TH GEAR LOOSING ALL ACCESS TO OTHER GEARS AND NEARLY CAUSING ME TO HAVE A COLLISION WITH OTHER VEHICLES. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE FLUID FROM THE RADIATOR IN THE TRANSMISSION AND WILL COST SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FIX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. AFTER FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED A FALSE READING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PASSPORT NISSAN OF ALEXANDRIA (150 S PICKETT ST, ALEXANDRIA, VA 22304) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR LEVEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 141,100.

MY HOSE S FROM THE RADIATOR TO THE HEATER CORE EXPLODED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY AND TROW SOME KIND OF GUNK THAT THE DEALER SAYS IT IS TRANSMISSION FLUID MIXING WITH THE ANTIFREEZE CAUSING THE HOSES TO BECOME WEAK ALSO MY TRANSMISSION START SLIPPING AND NOT WORKING PROPERLY THE DEALER SAYS IT IS A EXTENDED WARRANTY ON IT BUT MY CAR HAS 108000 MILES AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IT IS ONLY UNTIL 100000 {WITH A 3000 DOLLARS OUT OF POCKET FOR THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE } BUT THEY NEVER SEND ME A LETTER TO FIX THAT PROBLEM EVEN DO I HAVE DONE MORE THAN 2 SERVICES ON A NISSAN DEALER THAT WARRANTY OR PROBLEM WAS NEVER MENTIONED TO ME

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AT ABOUT 40MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUTTER WHEN CHANGING GEARS AND LOSE POWER. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WE FOUND OUT THAT COOLANT HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION THROUGH THE RADIATOR. NISSAN HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT WITH A WHOPPING $3000 DEDUCTIBLE. I WAS SURPRISED TO HEAR THIS IS A KNOWN FAILURE BUT NISSAN WILL NOT TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PRODUCT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DID NOT PROVIDE THE ACCURATE FUEL LEVEL. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (JIM BURKE NISSAN, 1300 3RD AVENUE NORTH, BIRMINGHAM, AL, 205-291-1106) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

THE FACTORY RADIATOR CRACKED INTERNALLLY ALLOWING COOLANRBYI MIX WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID LEADING TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE. WHEN I WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, I HAD THE RADIATOR REPLACED AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED,HOWEVER THE DAMAGE HAD ALREADY OCCURRED. AT THE TIME OF FAILURE I WAS TURNING LEFT INTO A PARKING LOT ACROSS /?LANES OF TRAFFIC. MY CAR BARELY MADE IT ACROSS THE ROAD AND BARELY AVOIDED COLLISION. THIS IS ABSOLUTE HE A SAFETY ISSUE.

I WENT TO THE NISSAN DEALER IN MY COUNTRY TO GUARANTY, AND THEY TOLE ME THAT I DONT HAVE ANY GUARANTIED I TOLD THEM TO CHECK MY PATHFINDER BECAUSE I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IT! SHE WAS VERY SLOW, BROKE THE OLCOOLER AND THE WATER IS INSIDE THE TRANSMISION AND NOW THE PATHFINDER DONT TURN ON. ITS DEAD! AND NOW I HAVE TO SEND THE PATHFINDER TO OTHERS PEOPLE BECAUSE THE NISSAN DEALER DONT WANT TO HELP WITH THE PROBLEMS AND NEVER I RECEIVE ANY NOTIFICATIONS FOR ANY CAMPAIGN TO RESOLVE ANY PROBLEMS! CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME! TKU!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL OR AFTER FUEL WAS ADDED TO THE FUEL TANK, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE READING WAS INACCURATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION, CAUSING TRANSMISSION FAILURE. DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED ME BECAUSE I AM OVER 100,000 MILES THERE IS NO COVERAGE AND WILL COST ME UPTO 8,000. MY CURRENT MILEAGE AT DIAGNOSTIC WAS 104,000 MILES. MY PATHFINDER IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND HAS A LOT OF DRIVING LEFT IN IT. I FEEL LET DOWN BY NISSAN THAT THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS DEFECT AND WILL NOT STAND BY THE FAULT TO KEEP CUSTOMER LOYALTY AND SATISFACTION. I DO NOT TRUST NISSAN AND NEVER WILL AGAIN, THEY HAVE PROVEN TO ME THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS AND DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I AM IN A POSITION AS A SINGLE MOTHER WITH 3 KIDS THAT I CANNOT AFFORD 8,000 DOLLARS TO FIX THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT THEY WERE PREPARED TO DO NOTHING.......

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE HUDSON NISSAN DEALER ON RIVER AVE IN CHARLESTON SC. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL AND THE CONTACT WOULD NEED TO PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED DUE TO THE DIAGNOSTIC FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 196,263.

WE BOUGHT A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER, WITH 97,000 MILES. ZERO ISSUES AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. AT ABOUT 123,000 MILES WE NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO STUFFER. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION WE DISCOVERED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND COOLANT FLUID HAVE MIXED TOGETHER. THE TRANSMISSION WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. WE ARE CURRENTLY FINANCING THIS VEHICLE, MAKING MONTHLY PAYMENTS, AND NOW AMONG MILLIONS OF OTHER NISSAN CONSUMERS ARE IN A HORRIBLE SPOT. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL FOR CRACKED RADIATORS. I WORK 12 HOUR SWING SHIFTS, LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN, AND HAVE 4 CHILDREN. NISSAN NEEDS TO MAKE THIS ISSUE RIGHT WITH CONSUMERS DUE TO THE SHEAR VOLUME OF DEFECTIVE VEHICLES AND THE IMMENSE COST AND UNFORTUNATE POSITION IT'S PUTTING HARD WORKING AMERICAN IN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. AFTER FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FUEL GAUGE ALSO DISPLAYED AN ERRONEOUS "EMPTY" READING EVEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS FUELED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SANDY SANSING NISSAN (5705 PENSACOLA BLVD, PENSACOLA, FL 32505) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SENDING UNIT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,400.

CRACKED RADIATOR LEAKING FLUID INTO TRANSMISSION. THIS IS CAUSING TRANSMISSION FAILURE. TRANSMISSION SLIPPED WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE OR AT A LOW GEAR SWITCH. THIS CAUSED ME ALARM AND I WAS UNSURE IF MY CAR COULD ACCELERATE PROPERLY IF I WAS IN A CRITICAL SITUATION. HTTP://WWW.NISSANPROBLEMS.COM/TRENDS/COOLANT-LEAKS-DESTROY-TRANSMISSION/ KEEP THE CARE OR TURN IT IN? BUY NISSAN AGAIN, OR ANOTHER BRAND...

I JUST LEARNED OF AN ISSUE WITH THE RADIATORS FAILING ON THE MODEL I HAVE CAUSING COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND THUS CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A $3000 CO-PAY DUE TO THE MILEGE AND AGE OF MY VEHICLE. DISCOVERING THAT NISSAN HAD KNOW OF THE ISSUE SINCE 2007 AND I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2010 I AM QUITE UNHAPPY WITH LEVEL OF CUSTOMER SERVICE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE PROPERLY. IF FEEL THAT NISSAN HAS NOT DONE ENOUGH TO REMEDY THESE ISSUE FOR CONSUMERS. I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE TO PICKUP MY CHILDREN WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO OVERHEAT SPILLING COOLANT MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID ONTO THE STREET. I MIGHT AS WELL BUY AND INSTALL THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR MYSELF WITH THE CO-PAY THAT NISSAN WANTS TO CHARGE. VERY UNHAPPY WITH WHAT NISSAN IS OFFERING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

PROBLEMS START AFTER I ENDED PAYMENTS ON MY CAR; THE SURROUND SOUND GOT BAD AND I HAVE TO REPLACED IT $500. COST ME. TAKATA RECALL I DID CALLED THE DEALER AND TOLD ME MY VIN NUMBER ISN'T IN THE RECALL SO THEY SAID NOTHING TO WORRY, THEN ANOTHER SITUATION CAME UP ABOUT THE FUEL PUMP, I DID CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID MY VIN NUMBER ISN'T IN THE RECALL EITHER AND I HAD PAY $600. IN MAY 9, 2016 FIRST TIME I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND BROKE DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION, ALSO ANOTHER TIME I WAS DRIVING ON THE BRIDGE AND WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE CAR WAS GOING DOWN ON THE BRIDGE BROKE DOWN OUT OF NOT WHERE, WAS VERY SCARY, POLICE AND OTHER PEOPLE HELP PUSH MY CAR TO A SAFETY AREA. BOTH TIME WAS BECAUSE I RUN OUT OF GAS CAUSE THE GEAR PUMP WASN'T TELLING ME I RUN OUT OF GAS. NEXT ONE WAS THE RADIATOR AND TRANS SERVICE. THEY SAID RADIATOR WAS CRACK NEED TO REPLACE I SPENT $800. NEXT PROBLEM P1774 SAID LOW COAST BRAKE-FASTENS SOLENOID VALVE FUNCTION. ALL THIS TIME ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CHARGED ME $50. TO RESET LIGHT. THEN NEXT PROBLEM IS THE TRANSMISSION NOW IS 4 GEAR COME WITH ISSUES AND IS IN THE MECHANIC NOW,JUNE 6, 2017 I NEED TO REPLACE IT AND CHARGING ME $3,200. BUT THEY STILL WORKING OWN CAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW YET IF DOESN'T WORK I WILL NEED TO PAY MORE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS CAUSE THIS CAR ONLY HAVE 8 YEARS AND I KEEP MAINTAINING MY CAR SINCE I GOT IT, SO DISAPPOINTED AND I SHOULDN'T DIDN'T PAY FOR ALL THIS CAUSE IS A RECALL AND MY CAR IS 2008 AND ALL THE PROBLEMS MY CAR HAD IS IN THE RECALL JUST CAUSE MY VIN NUMBER ISN'T THAT ISN'T FEAR. HOPE ANYBODY UNDERSTAND MY FRUSTRATIONS AND FIND THE SOLUTION OF THIS PROBLEMS. PAY ME BACK WHAT I BEING PUTTING IN TO THIS CAR.

RADIATOR LEAKED IN TRANSMISSION CAUSING TRANSMISSION TO BREAK

THE VEHICLE FUEL SENSOR SHOWS THAT IT'S EMPTY AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE HAS A QUARTER TANK OF GAS LEFT. MILEAGE DOES NOT SHOW EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE HAS GAS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THEY VEHICLE IS TURNED ON AND IN MOTION. I DO SEE THAT NISSAN HAS A RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000) BUT THERE ARE NO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH MY VEHICLE VIN #

WHEN DRIVING AND YOU GO TO STOP AND MOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE GAS TO THE BRAKE WHEN YOU PUSH THE BRAKE THE VEH TRIES TO ACCELERATE AND YOU HAVE O ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION OR COULD POSSIBLY RUN INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEH. IT ALSO HAPPENS NUMEROUS TIMES DAILY DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH YOU DRIVE IT.

VEHICLE BEGAN LURCHING AND SHUDDERING DRIVING A LOW SPEEDS ~40 MPH IN TOWN, UNTIL GEAR SHIFT OCCURRED THEN SPORADICALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AT FIRST THE SHUDDERING/JERKING WAS PERIODIC AND STARTED TO OCCUR MORE OFTEN AT RANDOM AT THAT SPEED. THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE WAS ABOUT 108,000 MILES IN FALL OF 2014. THIS OCCURRED OVER A PERIOD OF 6-8 MONTHS AND THEN PROGRESSED TO ISSUES WITH CABIN HEATER BLOWING COOLER AIR WHEN THERMOSTAT SET TO 90 DEGREES. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS ISSUE WITH HEATER AND UPON TEST DRIVE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THAT THE ISSUE WAS DUE TO THE RADIATOR FLUID LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE FLUIDS TO MIX. REPLACED BOTH RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION TO THE TUNE OF $5000.

ILL JUST BE ADDED TO THE LIST IM SURE, BUT MY TRANSMISSION SUFFERED A TOTAL FAILURE DUE TO THE RADIATOR ISSUE THAT LEAKS INTO THE TRANSMISSION. APPARENTLY ITS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM AND NISSAN LOOKED THE OTHER WAY. COST ME $4000 TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION AND REPLACE THE RADIATOR. IM AT A LOSS FOR WORDS THE WAY NISSAN HANDLED THIS. BUT NISSAN COULD HAVE BEEN IN MUCH MORE TROUBLE. MY WIFE GOT STUCK WITH THE TRUCK ON THE PARKWAY ON THE SIDE WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHIZZING PAST HER AT OVER 55 MPH WITH MY 10 YEAR OLD SON AND 8 YEAR OLD SON IN THE TRUCK. SHE CALLED ME IN PANIC. NOBODY THINKS THAT SUCH A FAILURE COULD POSE SUCH A DANGER LIKE THIS!! WHATS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR A RECALL? A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT???? LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK MOVING SLOWLY OFF THE PARKWAY AND MAKE IT HOME. HOW THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS IS BEYOND ME.....NEVER AGAIN BUYING ANOTHER NISSAN!!

THE INTERNAL RADIATOR HAS SMALL CRACKS THAT LEAK COOLANT AND DAMAGE THE TRANSMISSION. IT STARTED DEVELOPING ISSUES WHEN SHIFTING INTO 2ND GEAR AND THEN WOULD NOT DRIVE AT ALL.

ALL STEERING WHEEL LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. HORN DOES NOT WORK AND AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING. I REPLACED BUSTED RADIATOR AT 115,000 MILES. VEHICLE WOULD TURN OFF AT ANY SPEED. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE PEOPLE GET KILLED DUE TO THIS DEFECT. I HAD TO REPLACE SEVERAL SENSORS. MY VEHICLE HAS CURRENTLY BEEN PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR OVER 3 WEEKS. I CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. IT IS A SHAME THAT THIS COMPANY IS BEING ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH ALL THIS. IT IS NOT A MATTER OF IF SOMEONE GETS KILLED, IF IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET, BUT WHEN. THIS IS THE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED AND WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM THIS COMPANY AGAIN.

VEHICLE SHUTTERS WHEN TRYING TO CHANGE GEARS. THIS OCCURS WHEN DRIVING AT HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS (IT HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). IF THE VEHICLE IS COLD AND I PUT IT IN DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE. WHEN IDLING, THE CAR BLOWS COLD AIR IN THE FRONT, EVEN IF ITS SET ON THE WARMEST TEMPERATURE. THE CAR CONSISTENTLY BLOWS COLD AIR IN THE BACK, WHETHER ITS IDLING OR BEING DRIVEN. AFTER HAVING MY CAR LOOKED AT, THE PROBLEM WAS FOUND TO BE CAUSED BY A CRACKED RADIATOR THAT LEAKED COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION. NOT ONLY CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION, BUT ALSO TO THE HEATER HOSE WHICH IS BEYOND REPAIR AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR ISSUE FOR NISSANS WITH A YEAR OF 2005 TO 2010, AND ALTHOUGH THEY DID NOT DO A RECALL, THEY OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY UP TO $80,000 AND 100,000 WITH A CUSTOMER CO-PAY. BUT FOR MOST PEOPLE THAT PROBLEM DID NOT START OCCURRING UNTIL AFTER 100,000 MILES... LIKE MYSELF. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON THIS WHICH SETTLED IN OCTOBER OF 2012. I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN APRIL OF 2011. WHY WAS I NOT MADE AWARE OF THIS AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE?!

LOW POWER WHEN GOING UPHILL. DIFFICULTY AND "HARD CLUNKING" WHEN CHANGING GEARS SUCH AS GOING FROM DRIVE TO / FROM REVERSE, DECREASED POWER WHEN DRIVING. WHEN GEARS ARE SHIFTING, TRANSITION IS NOT SMOOTH AND CAR IS SLUGGISH WITH EACH SHIFT. IN ADDITION CLUNKING WITH DECELERATION. WHEN STATIONARY AND SHIFTING INTO REVERSE HEAVY CLUNKING.

"TAKATA RECALL" THE CAR STARED TO VIBRATING WHILE I WAS DRIVING I CAN FEEL THAT THE GEAR WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY I STOPPED THE CAR CALL A TOW TRUCK TOOK THE CAR HOME CALL THE MECHANIC AND HE EXPLAIN TO ME THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE COOLANT WENT INTO THE TRANSMISSION ALSO TALE ME THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS CAR. TO FIX IT IS EXTRIMELY EXPENSIVE IT IS MORE THAT THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE. I JUST FUND OUT THAT ALMOST EVERYBODY THAT HAS A NISSAN PATHFINDER O XTERRA HAD HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. DEFINITELY IS A FACTORY PROBLEM AND WE SHOULD NOT PAY FOR IT THE COMPANY SHOULD FIX IT.

THE SUNROOF ON MY VEHICLE EXPLODED. THE ROOF WAS CLOSED AND AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I HEARD THE EXPLOSION. THE SOUND WAS DEFINING AND SOUNDED LIKE A BOMB OR GUN HAD DISCHARGED. WHEN I PULLED OVER TO LOOK THE GLASS WAS POINTING UPWARD LIKE A LARGE FORCE HAD BLOWN IT OUT. IF THE SHADE HAD NOT BEEN CLOSED I WOULD HAVE HAD SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO MY HEAD AND FACE. *TR

A) THE SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON FOR THE EVAP SYSTEM. TOOK TO NISSAN AND THEY INITIALLY SAID IT WASN'T ANYTHING THEN IT TURNED INTO A CPU BEING BAD (AFTER 3 TRIPS) NOW THE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN AND IT'S AN EVAP CODE AGAIN FOR THE CHARCOAL VENT SYSTEM. I'VE LOOKED IT UP AND THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND WAS EVEN RECALLED ON THE XTERRA. THE ISSUE BEING THE LOCATION OF THE CHARCOAL FILTER. B) THE STEERING BOX VIBRATES OR CAUSES A SEVERE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHOOK UNCONTROLLABLY AND INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE HEATING SYSTEM BECAME INOPERABLE AND CAUSED AN ABNORMAL ODOR TO EMIT INSIDE THE VEHICLE, WHICH IRRITATED THE CONTACT'S EYES. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKED INTO THE RADIATOR. AS A RESULT, 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 80,000.

ENGINE CHAIN STARTED MAKING HUMMING/WHIRRING SOUNDS SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF MILES AGO -- I DON'T RECALL THE EXACT DATE. I HAD NO IDEA THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS FILED IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE UNTIL I RECENTLY RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE. NISSAN FAILED TO INFORM ME OF THIS ISSUE.

RADIATOR LEAKING CAUSING TRANNY TO FAIL, AFTER TRANNY IS REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE STARTS FAILING IN JUST LESS THAN 2 YEARS CAUSING THE CAR TO HAVE TRANNY ISSUES AGAIN NISSAN SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL THIS DEFECTS ON THIS CAR, IT POSSES A SAFE ISSUE BECAUSE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE MAKES THE CAR RUN IF THIS FAILS WHILE CAR RUNNING A HUGE ACCIDENT COULD HAPPEN.

MY RADITOR LEAKED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THEY FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION AND A WEEK LATER I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE DRIVER CRASHED INTO THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE CHEST, HEAD, AND NECK, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

TAKATA RECALL ?? THE 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND BREAKDOWN DUE TO COOLANT LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION. PURCHASED PRE-OWNED WITH NOTHING LISTED ON CAR FACTS (CARFAX), OR WITH ANY ADVISEMENT TO THE ISSUES WITH RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION. AFTER A $1,017 BILL FROM AAMCO FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TO FIND THE ISSUE, (IN WHICH THEY HAD TO PULL THE TRANNY AND INSPECT IT WAS DAMAGED DUE TO FLUID FROM RADIATOR GETTING INSIDE COMPROMISING TRANSMISSION SEALS) I DISCOVERED, ONLINE, THIS ONGOING WELL KNOW PROBLEM..CALLED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND DISCOVERED MY VEHICLE WAS COVERED UNDER THE 100K MILEAGE (94955 ACTUAL) AND GOOD THROUGH 8-2017, FROM A PREVIOUS FILED COMPLAINT OR CLASS ACTION, NOT SURE WHICH. HOWEVER, APPARENTLY I ONLY QUALIFY FOR A CO/PAY OF $3,000 ON A VEHICLE VALUED AT TOPS, $7,500. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, HAD I KNOWN THIS WAS AN ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH MY BANK, THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM, AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND NO ONE IS WILLING TO ASSIST. I SUPPOSE I WILL CONTACT MY ATTORNEY AT THIS POINT (LEMON LAW, TORT LAWS, SOMETHING) BECAUSE I CANT' SEEM TO FIND ANYONE UNDERSTANDING TO ME, THE CONSUMER, WHOM IS NOT AT FAULT ON THIS DEAL FOR HELP. I AM EXTREMELY UNHAPPY THAT NISSAN HAS ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN. THEY SHOULD AT LEAST PUT A CARFAX WARNING OR SOMETHING TO NOTIFY POTENTIAL BUYERS OR OWNERS OF THIS PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND THAT PARTS GET WORN AND GO BAD, HOWEVER, THIS IN NOT SOMETHING THAT I HAVE NEGLECTED TO FIX, MAINTAIN, CHECK, OR ANYTHING. THIS IS A BAD PART/DESIGN FLAW IN THE COOLANT SYSTEM AND SHOULD IN ALL RIGHTS BE FIXED AT 100% BY NISSAN. BEWARE.

OUR 2008 PATHFINDER LOST ALL POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY, CAUSING OTHERS CARS TO SWERVE TO MISS HITTING US. AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS WE WERE ABLE TO REGAIN A LITTLE BIT OF SPEED ( ABOUT 30 MPH) TO BE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE FREEWAY AND HEAD DOWN AN EXIT RAMP. THIS EXPERIENCE WAS VERY SCARY FOR MY FAMILY AND I WITH TWO YOUNG KIDS IN THE BACK SEAT, WITH CARS PASSING US AT SPEEDS UPWARD OF 70 MPH. EVEN ON THE WAY HOME THAT NIGHT, THE SUV WOULD START TO DRIVE AT NORMAL SPEED, THEN SUDDENLY COME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP AT ABOUT 5 MPH.

MY ONLY ONE FAMILY VEHICLE SUFFERED THE NOW KNOWN 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND BREAKDOWN DUE TO COOLANT LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION. I'VE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE PRE-OWNED FROM NP MAZDA IN SAN ANTONIO TEXAS. THEY DID NOT INFORM ME OF THIS KNOWN ISSUE WHICH INVOLVED SEVERAL YEAR MODELS FOR THE PATHFINDER. I'VE SPENT A LITTLE OVER $5K OF LOANED MONEY TO HAVE THIS RESOLVE VIA INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST AS GUNN NISSAN PRESENTED ME WITH A MUCH HIGHER PRICE QUOTE. I RECENTLY FOUND OUT FROM A LOCAL NISSAN SERVICE SPECIALIST THAT MY VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS AND AS A RESULT OF OCTOBER 2012 CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SETTLED BY COURT AND NISSAN CORP. I AM ATTEMPTING TO HAVE NISSAN HELP ME WITH SOME OF RECENTLY MENTIONED FINANCIAL IMPACT REGARDING THEIR WELL KNOWN DEFECT.

COOLANT FLUID LEAKED FROM RADIATOR CAP INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION TO HAVE TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE HAS 122,000 MILES AND HAS NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES BEFORE THIS. THE FLUID IN RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION IS GUNK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. IN ADDITION, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN INCORRECT READING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A FUEL SENSOR FLOAT ARM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER THE REPAIRS WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND AN ABNORMAL NOISE EMITTED FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL AS IT DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, BUT FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS AN INTERMITTENT BRAKE FAILURE AND THAT THE DELTA STROKE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO CONFIRMED THE FAILURE AND REPLACED THE DELTA STROKE SENSOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY CAMPAIGN FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM FAILURE WAS AVAILABLE, BUT THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE ACCEPTABLE MILEAGE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO NEVER BEING NOTIFIED ABOUT FUEL GAUGE INACCURACY RECALL NOTICE (10V-075) UNTIL VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HIS WIFE RAN OUT OF FUEL, WHILE DRIVING ON AN EIGHT LANE FREEWAY, DUE TO THE FUEL GAUGE INACCURACY. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT NISSAN, INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE RECALL ENDED IN 2013. *JB

ON SEPT 1, 2016, I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER ON MY DAILY COMMUTE TO WORK 32 HIGHWAY MILES NOTICED THE RED BRAKE LIGHT COME ON IN THE VEHICLE. I WAS SURPRISED AS MY FRONT & REAR BRAKES WERE DONE IN MAY 2016. ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY IN THE FAST LANE I DECIDED TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND TAP THE BRAKES TO SEE IF IT WOULD MAKE THE LIGHT GO AWAY. MUCH TO MY SURPRISE THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, I HAD NO BRAKES! WITH A TRACTOR TRAILER BESIDE ME, A CAR IN FRONT OF ME AS WELL AS BEHIND ME, AFTER ALL IT WAS RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I PANICKED! I THOUGHT THIS WAS IT! NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS , PUT ON MY HAZARDS AND PRAYED, AS THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN, I WAS TRIED TO MOVE INTO THE RIGHT LANE WITHOUT ACCELERATING. I WAS FORCED THEN TO ACCELERATE AGAIN TO BE ABLE TO SWITCH LANE AND IT WAS AFTER DOING SO, I WAS ABLE TO GET TO WHAT WAS A HALF OF SHOULDER AND RIDE DOWN IT UNTIL I WAS GOING SLOW ENOUGH I THROUGH IT IN PARK. THINKING BACK I SHOULD HAVE USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. STRANDED ON HALF OF A SHOULDER FOR 45 MINUTES BEFORE THE POLICE SHOWED UP WAS TERRIFYING. I THOUGHT FOR SURE ONE OF THE TRACTOR TRAILERS WAS GOING TO HIT ME. I WAS SO CLOSE TO THE GUARDRAIL I COULD NOT EXIT MY CAR. A TOW TRUCK TOOK MY DISABLED VEHICLE TO MY GARAGE, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT MY BRAKES WORKED PERFECTLY FINE. NO LIGHT WAS ABLE TO STOP ON A DIME. I WAS NOT IMAGINING THEY FAILED, THEY DID NOT WORK! MY MECHANIC, THE OWNER OF WARREN BRAKE AND TIRE FOR 40 YEARS, WHAT HE WAS ABOUT TO FIND OUT HE HAS NEVER HEARD. THE COMPUTER GAVE A CODE OF C1179 DELTA STROKE SENSOR SIGNAL FAILURE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT WILL CAUSE INTERMITTENT BRAKE FAILURE. I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY TO BE ALIVE AND I WANT ACTION DONE NOT ONLY TO FIX MY VEHICLE BUT TO LOOK AT ALL NISSANS TO PREVENT SUCH AN OCCURRENCE FROM HAPPENING AGAIN.

WOW, I AM AMAZED THAT MY STORY IS SO SIMILAR TO THE ONES I'M READING HERE. I ALSO PURCHASED A 2008 PATHFINDER BRAND NEW. AND I EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE RADIATOR LEAKING INTO MY TRANSMISSION. AND NISSAN HAS TURNED THEIR BACK ON ME AS WELL. AFTER DOING SOME DIGGING, I FOUND OUT THAT NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE IN 2007. AND YET WHEN I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE THAT HAD 13 MILES ON IT FROM THE DEALERSHIP, NEVER WAS THIS ISSUE BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION. I BELIEVE THEY ISSUED EXTENDED WARRANTIES IN 2010 AND 2012. BUT NEVER CONTACTED US. IF I HAD KNOWN IT WAS A POSSIBILITY OF AN ISSUE, I WOULD HAVE HAD THE CORRECT REPAIR DONE IN ADVANCE TO PREVENT THIS. BUT NOW I FIND MYSELF WITH A DESTROYED TRANSMISSION AND NOWHERE TO GO. I CAN NOT CURRENTLY PAY OUT FOR THIS REPAIR. I ALSO AM LEADING WITH NISSAN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. BUT THEY KEEP TELLING ME " NISSAN IS NOT IN A POSITION TO HELP ME RIGHT NOW". THE FUNNY THING IS THAT MY FAMILY HAS BOUGHT 5 NISSAN VEHICLES IN THE LAST 17 YEARS. SOME LOYALTY TO A MEMBER OF THEIR FAMILY. I URGE YOU PEOPLE TO DO WHAT I DID. ISSUE A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND MOST IMPORTANT THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE. EVENTUALLY WE WILL HAVE TO BE HEARD. I HAVE ALSO MADE IT MY MISSION TO PRINT OUT ALL THE DOCUMENTS I HAVE READ REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND HAND IT TO EVERY PERSON I I SEE DRIVING A NISSAN. AND IF IT'S PARKED, I LEAVE IT UNDER THE WIPER. I DRIVE EVERYDAY AND GO FROM MANHATTAN TO MONTAUK. SO FAR I HAVE SPOKEN WITH OR LEFT INFORMATION FOR OVER 200 NISSAN VEHICLES. AND I'M NOT GOING TO STOP UNTIL THERE IS ENOUGH COMPLAINTS THAT WE CAN GET THIS THING FIXED. FRANK O

IN THE MIDDLE OF A HEAVY STORM FROM THE WAKE OF AN F3 TORNADO THAT SWEPTED THROUGH, MY WIFE AND I WERE STUCK IN HEAVY WIND AND RAIN IN AN OPEN AREA UNABLE TO START OUR 2008 PATHFINDER AFTER PULLING OVER. JUST PRIOR, OUR TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING HARD AND SLAMMING INTO GEAR. I GOT OUT IN THE WIND AND RAIN AND AFTER LOOKING OVER THE VEHICLE AFTER IT COOLED DOWN, THATS WHEN I NOTICED OIL AND WATER WERE MIXED IN THE RADIATOR.THE PATHFINDER NOW SITS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. IT WENT FROM PARKED AND RUNNING TO DEAD ON THIE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

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. THE 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP SINCE IT WOULD NOT START. THE PATHFINDER HAD 113K MILES. IT COST ME $2841.27 TO REPAIR.

IN ABOUT JANUARY OF THIS YEAR 2016 I NOTICED A VIBRATION DURING GEARSHIFTING WHILE DRIVING. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC BECAUSE WHEN I EXPLAINED THE ISSUE TO NISSAN THEY SAID OUT OF WARRANTY AND ALL PARTS AND LABOR WOULD NOT BE COVERED SO I WENT TO MY MECHANIC ANYWAY WHO SAID I HAD TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO A LEAK FROM THE RADIATOR WHICH I BELIEVE IS A DESIGN FLAW ON THE CAR. IF NISSAN KNEW ABOUT A RADIATOR ISSUE WHY WAS I NEVER INFORMED SO I COULD POTENTIALLY REPLACE THE RADIATOR BEFORE IT DESTROYED MY TRANSMISSION? I AM SEEKING FULL REIMBURSEMENT ON ALL PARTS AND LABOR IN THE TRANSMISSION. I UNDERSTAND I MAY HAVE TO PAY SOME OF THE COST OF THE RADIATOR DUE TO WARE AND TARE BUT IF NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THIS THEY SHOULD'VE CONTACTED ME TO SAVE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I BELIEVE THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE HAD I NOT KNOWN EVEN WHY THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING I DID HAVE A PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING AND NOT KNOWING WHAT THIS IS. I COULD'VE HAD TROUBLE SHIFTING FROM ONE YEAR TO THE NEXT ON HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS

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.

MY TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR SEEPED INTO EACH OTHER AND APPARENTLY CAUSED INTERNAL IRREPARABLE FAILURE. MY BUYER'S SHIELD WARRANTY IS REFUSING TO COVER IT. I PURCHASED THE 5 YEAR/100000 MILE POWER AND TRAIN WARRANTY AS WELL. NISSAN'S FACTORY WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER IT NEITHER WILL MY EXTENDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ALSO, WITHIN TWENTY MINUTES OF FILLING THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO DISPLAY AN ACCURATE READING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. TRANSMISSION FAILED DUE TO RADIATOR FAILURE WHICH CAUSED CONTAMINATION OF THE COOLING AND TRANSMISSION FLUIDS. ENGINE OVERHEATED DUE TO CONTAMINATION. ENTIRE COOLING SYSTEM HAD TO BE FLUSHED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER REPAIRS. REPAIRS WERE OVER $4000. NISSAN REFUSED TO ADDRESS ISSUE BECAUSE OF PENDING CLASS ACTION SUIT. I WISH TO BE ADDED TO CLASS ACTION PROCESS TO RECOUP EXPENSES.

COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT CAUSING SIGNIFICANT TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THE PROBLEM WAS SUPPOSED TO RESOLVED AS WE HAD IT CLEANED UP...THE VEHICLE WORKED OK FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THE PROBLEM REAPPEARED GETTING WORSE AND WORSE...THE VEHICLE IS UNDRIVABLE AT THIS POINT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I'VE HEARD OF THIS ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL.

THE SUV BEGAN SHUDDERING WHEN SHIFTING INTO GEAR, AND HARD SHIFTING IN LOW GEARS. BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP, AND THEY SAID COOLANT HAD CONTAMINATED THE TRANSMISSION CASE BY LEAKING FROM THE RADIATOR. REPAIR NEEDED: REPLACE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. SUV HAS 131,000 MILES, AND WAS OTHER WISE IN GOOD CONDITION. REPAIR CENTER SAID TO REPLACE BOTH, COST WOULD BE $5800.00

WHILE DRIVING MY 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER THERE WAS A HARD SHIFT WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE, THEN NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS LIT AND STEADY, I THEN SWITCHED GEARS INTO DRIVE WHICH HAD A VIOLENT JERKING MOTION & SLIGHT HESITATION TO ACCELERATE. AS I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE ON THE COUNTY ROAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING CONSTANTLY & THE VEHICLE HAD LITTLE POWER TO ACCELERATE & CONSTANTLY HESITATING CAUSING ME TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM WAS CREATED DUE TO THE ENTERMIX COOLANT IN TRANSMISSION AS STATED BY THE TECHICIAN IN THE REPORT I PROVIDED. THIS WAS A SAFETY RISK BECAUSE AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT I WAS DRIVING ACROSS THE ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT OPERATE IN REVERSE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR SENSORS ILLUMINATED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

CONTAMINATION FROM RADIATOR INTO TRANSMISSION.

ENGINE COOLANT LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION DESTROYING TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION AND COOLING SYSTEM. VEHICLE ODOMETER IS AT 115,000. ESTIMATED REPAIR IS $3000-4800+

TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. I'VE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR OVER A MONTH AS PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. WHY IS NISSAN NOT PREPARED WITH REPLACEMENT PARTS. WHY WAS WARRANTY ONLY EXTENDED FOR CERTAIN TIME PERIOD AS THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING IN MY DRIVEWAY. COULD HAVE BEEN HAZARDOUS HAD IT STOPPED RUNNING ON THE HIGHWAY.

I WAS DRIVING AROUND 35 TO 40MPH WHEN I FELT A VIBRATION UNDER VEHICLE BACKED OFF GAS PEDAL WENT AWAY AFTER THAT IT WOULD COME BACK NOW AND THEN AROUND THE SAME SPEED JUST LIKE YOU WHERE DRIVING ON A RUMBLE STRIP. TOOK TO NISSAN FOR DIAGNOSIS TOLD ME VEHICLE SHIFTED ERRATICALLY AND FOUND ANTI FREEZE IN TRANSMISSION, THEY GAVE A QUOTE OF MORE THAN $7,000 TO FIX.WHEN I ASKED WHAT COULD CAUSE THIS THEY SAID A BUSHING COULD HAVE BEEN WORN TO LET COOLANT INTO TRANNY, NOW THEY GET INFO ON PROBLEMS THAT OCCUR I JUST GOT A PHONY ANSWER. ANY WAY NISSAN DOSEN'T GIVE THEIR CUSTOMERS HEADS UP ON NOTIFICATIONS OF PROBLEMS AND COMPLAINTS ALL GET LOST OR BURIED . NICE SUPPORT FROM NISSAN. NO MORE BUSINESS FROM ME........ 103,345MILES ON PATHFINDER 2008 ALL HAPPENED ON A FLAT SMOOTH ROAD DRIVING STRAIGHT

RADIATOR STARTED LEAKING AND RUINED MY TRANSMISSION AT 92,000 MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

FUEL SYSTEM, GAUGE NOT FUNCTIONING. THE FUEL GAUGE RANDOMLY SHOWS EMPTY WHEN NOT EMPTY OR EVEN FULL, THEN SHOWS RANDOM READINGS THAT DO NOT ACCURATELY SHOW FUEL LEVEL. JUST 2 DAYS AGO I SHOWED 3/8 TANK. WENT TO STORE THEN SHOWED 5/8 AFTER STARTING VEHICLE. TRYING TO MANUALLY TRACK MILAGE SO I DO NOT RUN OUT OF GAS SINCE GAUGE IS NOT WORKING. NISSAN CONTACTED TWICE ABOUT RECALL/CAMPAIGN# 10V075000. WAS TOLD MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE AND OUT OF 184, 43 ARE CONFIRMED THIS ISSUE NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL, ADDITIONAL 11 SAME COMPLAINT BUT UNABLE TO TELL IF INCLUDED IN RECALL. IF ACCURATE FUEL READING WAS CONCERN ENOUGH FOR RECALL 10V075000, HOW DO AN ADDITIONAL 43-54 COMPLAINTS NOT CAUSE ADDITIONAL VEHICLES TO BE INCLUDED. THIS IS 25% OF ALL SAFETY COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE ON THIS WEB PAGE. PLEASE FORCE NISSAN TO ADDRESS THIS OBVIOUS VEHICLE FLAW AND SAFETY ISSUE.

WHERE DO I BEGIN WITH WITH PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE? I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2010 WITH 48,000 MILES ON IT. LOOKED BRAND NEW, NOW, I THINK I KNOW WHAT THEY TRADED IT IN. I HAVE HAD ONE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER. I HAVE SPENT OVER $7000 IN THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF, OUTSIDE OF NORMAL UPKEEP LIKE TIRES AND BRAKES, ON REPAIRS FOR THIS VEHICLE. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER WITH 2 SMALL CHILDREN! MY HUSBAND WAS KILLED IN 2014. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT'S BEEN FOR ME TO GET ALL THIS DONE?!?! BUT I HAD TO, IT'S PAID OFF AND I DON'T WANT A NEW CAR NOTE! REPLACING A TRANSMISSION THAT THE COMPANY I FEEL KNOWS IS FAULTY IS REALLY UNJUST. I INITIALLY PAID $1800 TO GET IT FIXED FOR IT ONLY TO CONTINUE MESSING UP AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THEM THEY PROBABLY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION BUT NOT THE COMPUTER AND RADIATOR WHICH IS THE MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. I THEN PAID ANOTHER $2400 TO GET IT FIXED CORRECTLY. THEN, THERE WAS THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUE, WHY DID IT BREAK, WHO KNOWS, BUT IT SHOULDN'T HAVE.. SO THAT WAS ANOTHER $2300. I'VE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE BOTH SIDES OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHICH WERE ABOUT $300 EACH AND A BALL BARING I BELIEVE ITS CALLED WAS GONE. CURRENTLY, MY HORN ONLY WORKS WHEN YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT AND STEERING IS GETTING HARDER TO TURN SO I THINK MY PUMP IS GOING OUT; CHECKED THE FLUIDS AND THEY ARE FINE. I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO GET EITHER OF THOSE PROBLEMS FIXED RIGHT NOW. OH, DID I MENTION MY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS? MY WINDOWS ARE TEMPERAMENTAL AND DON'T ALWAYS GO DOWN WHEN I WANT THEM TOO. I WAS TOLD THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE ABOUT $500, MAYBE MORE, TO GET ELECTRICAL WORK DONE. I WILL LIKELY NEVER BY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN AFTER THIS ONE! IF THIS VEHICLE WASN'T ALREADY PAID OFF, I WOULD HAVE TRADED IT IN ALREADY!

MAY, 2016 - STARTED NOTICING MY PATHFINDER WOULD SLIP WHEN I HIT THE GAS. THE VEHICLE HESITATED. I TOOK INTO A NISSAN DEALER WHICH DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR HAD LEAKED COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION, RESULTING IN THE NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR AND DO A FULL FLUSH. THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED FOR MY TRUCK IS NOT AVAILABLE FROM NISSAN UNTIL JULY 3, 2016. NISSAN DEALER CAN GET AFTERMARKET TRANSMISSION WITH 3-YEAR WARRANTY AND INSTALL FOR $5,600. MILEAGE AT 130,000. NISSAN HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY UNTIL 100,000 MILES. THIS ISN'T RIGHT. ISSUE IS KNOWN BY NISSAN AND THEY HAVE NOT YET INSTITUTED A FULL RECALL.

DEALERSHIP SAID I HAVE TO REPLACE THE SPIRAL CABLE AND DRIVET AIRBAG MODULE AND THE COST WILL BE 1443.19.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING PATHFINDER WITH MY CHILDREN IN IT ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. FEW MINUTES AFTER SHE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE (PATHFINDER) WAS NOT RESPONDING TO HER WHEN SHE PRESSED ON GAS PEDAL. IT ACCELERATED SLOWLY, WHILE SHE WAS ON HIGHWAY & DRIVING AT 50+ MPH. SENSING DANGER, SHE TOOK AN EXIT AND CAME OFF INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND THE ENGINE STOPPED ON HER COMPLETELY - AS SHE EXITED FROM HIGHWAY. BEFORE STOPPING, THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND WHEN MY WIFE GAVE GAS, IT WASN'T GETTING REQUIRED SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY FOR HER CAR STOPPED ON THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS SHE ENTERED A SMALL LANE AFTER EXITING THE INTERSTATE. WE GOT IT TOWED TO AAA SERVICE CENTER. THE NISSAN DEALER IS NOW SAYING THAT COOLANT GOT MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND THUS SPOILED THE COMPUTER THAT CONNECTS TO ENGINE. AND IT REQUIRES A COMPLETE OVERHAUL OF TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR ETC AND COSTING ME $5,600. AS THIS CAR IS REGULARLY SERVICED BY NISSAN DEALER, AND THIS DAMAGE IS NOT CAUSED BY DRIVING. APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY MANUFACTURING DESIGN/DEFICIENCIES. WHEN I RESEARCHED ON WEB, NOTICED MANY PEOPLE HAVING SUFFERED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HENCE WANTED TO REPORT THIS ISSUE SO THAT NECESSARY ACTION COULD BE TAKEN. MY FEAR IS IF THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPS ON AN INTERSTATE - IT WOULD'VE CERTAINLY LED TO AN ACCIDENT.

MY DAUGHTER WAS PULLING OUT ON TO A BUSY ROAD ON HER WAY TO SCHOOL AND THE TRANSMISSION SEIZED CAUSING A NEAR COLLISION WITH A ONCOMING SEMI-TRUCK. THE SEMI-TRUCK DRIVER HAD TO SKID TO AVOID A TRAGIC ACCIDENT. IN MY OPINION WOULD HAVE BEEN FATAL FOR MY DAUGHTER! THE MECHANIC TOLD US THE RADIATOR TRANSMISSION COOLER LEAKED RADIATOR FLUID INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND RUINED IT. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY REFUSE TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE LESS THAN A YEAR AND NOTHING FROM A MAINTENANCE STANDPOINT COULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS. NISSAN CONCEALED THE FACT THAT THE RADIATOR HAD A DEFECT STRAIGHT FROM THE MANUFACTURING PLANT. THEY SHOULD NOT ONLY BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR BUT ALSO THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IT COSTS FOR THE TRANSMISSION.WE CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED AND ARE OUT A VEHICLE. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED THEY NEED TO BE REPRIMANDED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES!

I OWN A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT DUE TO A DEFAULT IN THE RADIATOR. IT'S GOING TO COST ME $3000 TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT NISSAN NEW ABOUT. I WAS ON MY WAY TO LUNCH AND IT JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. NO WARNING OR ANYTHING.

SAME AS MANY BOUGHT 2008 PATHFINDER HAD 65,000 MILES ONE YEAR AGO IN ROANOKE VA,STARTED MISSING ,WHEN CHECKING RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION FLUID WERE WERE CREAM LIKE COLOR,PAID 104 DOLLARS AT MAINTENANCE GARAGE TO FIND PROBLEM OF CRACKED IN RADIATOR PART CAUSING TO MIX.NOW NEED NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH MY COMPARTMENT IS 3000 DOLLARS,WHICH IS RIDICULOUS SINCE THIS IS EVIDENTLY A COMMON FAILURE WHICH I WAS NOT INFORMED OF.WHEN SPOKE WITH NISSAN STATED THIS IS ALL COURT ORDERED THEM TO DO ...SORRY FOR YOUR INCONVENIENCE..I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY,STILL OWE ON THIS VEHICLE THOUGHT I WAS BUYING A DEPENDABLE CAR,HAVE EXTENDED INSURANCE WON'T PAY CAUSE OF NISSAN EXTENDED WARRANTY...THINK THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL AND CONSUMER NOTIFIED THIS IS A MAJOR CAR ISSUE AND EXPENSE....NISSAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED DOING THERE CONSUMERS THAT WAY..PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING AT CERTAIN SPEEDS, THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR WOULD DISPLAY EMPTY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

A CRACK IN THE RADIATOR MIXED FLUIDS BETWEEN THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOCK UP. BOTH THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION ARE DAMAGED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WAS FILED AGAINST NISSAN AND EVEN THOUGH NISSAN LOST THE CASE THEY STILL REFUSED TO ISSUE A RECALL. THE ONLY COMPENSATION WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO A MAX OF 100,000 MILES AND $3,000 UP FRONT TO FIX THIS KNOWN ISSUE. STUDIES ALSO SHOW THAT THIS USUALLY OCCURS TO 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDERS AFTER THE 100,000 MILE MARK, ESSENTIALLY MAKING THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY USELESS. NISSAN NEEDS TO STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT, BROKEN OR NOT, AND RECALL ALL DEFECTIVE RADIATORS AND TRANSMISSIONS.

RECALL INVESTIGATION #DP12004 : TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FAILED DURING MOTION, CAUSING MY NISSAN PATHFINDER TO STALL AND COMPLETELY TURN OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.

DIGITAL GAS MILAGE AND GAS GAUGE NEEDLE NOT READING HOW MUCH GAS IS ACTUALLY IN THE TANK. NEEDLE GOES BELOW E AND GAS LIGHT COMES ON EVEN WHEN I HAVE A FULL TANK. DIGITAL GAS MILAGE GOES TO 0 OR GIVES ALL DASHES NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE. OR WHEN I AM LOW ON GAS THE NEEDLE WILL READ I HAVE MORE THAN I DO. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHILE STATIONARY, WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY. FLUCTUATES IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRIP, ETC.

HI THERE I RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE 2 DAYS AGO FROM MULLER TOYOTA PHILIPSBURG NJ IT HAVE 157500 MILES. THE TIME I BOUGHT I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND NEITHER THE DEALER DIDN'T TOLD ME. I PAYED 8000 DOLLAR PLUS TAXES ON THIS VEHICLE. AFTER TWO DAYS I FOUND OUT THAT RADIATOR COOLANT IS MIXED IN TRANSMISSION AND MAKING DRILLING SOUNDS I CALL THE DEALER HE DIDN'T GIVE ME ANY GOOD RESPONSE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MEINKE SHOP THEY SAID THEY WILL CHANGE THE RADIATOR AND DRAIN THE COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION OIL BUT THEY NOT SURE IF THERE IS ANY INTERNAL DAMAGE DONE TO TRANSMISSION OR NOT IF THIS DIDN'T FIXES THE PROBLEM I NEED TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION WHICH WILL COST 2700 DOLLAR WERE I AM GOING TO GET THAT MONEY I AM POOR GUY AND I CANT AFFORD THAT MONEY IF I KNOW THAT I WILL NEVER EVER BUY NISSAN THIS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. I DONT NO WHAT TO DO NOW. PLEASE HELP I AM TOTALLY SCREWED I ALMOST SPEND 10000 DOLLARS AND I AM STILL SUFFERING.

ON MY 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER, WHICH IS ONLY 8 YEARS OLD, I HAVE REPAIRED MY TRANSMISSION DUE TO AN ATF CONTAMINATION VIA THE COOLING SYSTEM AROUND 95,000 MILES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AT 90,000 MILES USED. THIS AFFECTED MY SPEED CONTROL AND ALL RELATED SYSTEMS.THE RADIATOR WAS REPLACED ALSO DUE TO THE CONTAMINATION. THIS HAS AFFECTED MY COOLING AND HEATING SYSTEM AND ALL RELATED SYSTEMS.THIS COST MY EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY AROUND $2,900+ (GLAD I WAS SMART ENOUGH TO PURCHASE THIS WARRANTY), HOWEVER IT COST ME MY DEDUCTIBLE OF $200.00. ON FEBRUARY 12, 2016 I DROPPED MY NISSAN OFF FOR A FOLLOW-UP REPAIR TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TIMING CHAIN ASSEMBLY AFTER GOING IN FOR A SIMPLE ALIGNMENT EARLIER (WHICH WAS A WASTE OF MONEY BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO PURCHASE A CAMPER KIT IN ORDER FOR YOUR ALIGNMENT TO BE 100%, $249.00 OUT-OF-POCKET). THIS CAUSED ME TO HAVE TO BUY A BRAND NEW SET OF TIRES OUT-OF-POCKET WHICH CAME WITH A FREE ALIGNMENT AS A SPECIAL, OTHERWISE I WOULD'VE RE-PAYED FOR ANOTHER ALIGNMENT. HEADQUARTERS NISSAN OF COLUMBUS,GA NEVER INFORMED ME OF THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUES WITH THESE SUVS! THIS RESULTED IN PERFORMANCE ISSUES. AGAIN MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL PAY AROUND $1,800 TO NISSAN FOR THE REPAIRS AND ME A $200.00 DEDUCTIBLE. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY IN ATLANTA,GA DURING RUSH HOUR BEFORE BECAUSE MY GAS GAUGE OR INDICATOR OR SOMETHING DOESN'T READ OR IS INACCURATE. I ALSO HEAR NOISE FROM THE TIRES OR SOMETHING WHEN I ROLL OVER SPEED BUMPS, ACCELERATE OR BANK LEFT OR RIGHT WITH BAD, HARD STEERING. THE COOLING AND HEATING SYSTEM HAS NOT BLOWN AIR AT TIMES AND SOMETIMES I HAVE TO DEPRESS THE GAS PETAL WHILE IDLING TO HEAT UP AIR THAT HAS GONE COLD. WHEN THE A/C DOES THIS I TURN OFF THE A/C AND LET THE WINDOWS DOWN, PRESSING THE GAS PETAL DOES NOT WORK. NISSAN SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM WITH THIS SYSTEM WHEN DIAGNOSING VEHICLE?!

THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING ONTO THE TRANSMISSION AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,600.

MY 2008 PATHFINDER'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE MY FUEL GAUGE IS SHOWING EMPTY WHEN I WOULD FILL UP CONSTANTLY, THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE WAS APPROX. 105,000. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS MY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR THAT NEEDED REPLACED, NISSAN NORTH AMERICA INFORMS ME MY VIN ISN'T COVERED IN THE NHTSA REFERENCE #10V075000 RECALL OF THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR THAT BEGAN MARCH 2010, I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE USED AFTER THE RECALL WAS INITIATED. DUE TO THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR NEEDING REPLACED ($600), I WAS NOT ABLE TO PASS MY EMISSIONS TEST IN CO ($25), AND AM NOT ABLE TO REGISTER MY VEHICLE ($200). SO IF I HAVE TO PAY FOR MY OWN REPAIRS I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE A PART THAT NISSAN IS AWARE HAS AN ISSUE, GET A SECOND EMISSIONS TEST AND PAY ANY LATE FEES ON TOP OF MY ANNUAL REGISTRATION FEE. I BELIEVE THAT IF NISSAN IS AWARE OR THIS ISSUE THEY SHOULD REPAIR MY VEHICLE AT NO COST TO ME AND/OR IF A RECALL WAS INITIATED THEN THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE EXPLANATION AS TO WHY MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED.

TRANSMISSION COOLING SYSTEM RUNS THROUGH THE RADIATOR. FAULTY DESIGN/CONSTRUCTION LEAD TO FAILURE, RESULTING IN COOLING FLUIDS IN THE TRANSMISSION, AND TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE RADIATOR. OCCURRED AT 110K MILES BUT NISSAN WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE & REPAIRS ARE $5770. BEGAN WITH VEHICLE NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY AND THEN NOT GETTING OUT OF FIRST GEAR. TURNED AROUND & DROVE THE 1/2 MILE BACK HOME TO DISCOVER VISCUS EMULSION IN RADIATOR RESERVOIR. INVESTIGATED & DISCOVERED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON NISSAN PATHFINDERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THE FUEL TANK WAS HALF FULL BEFORE SUDDENLY DECREASING TO EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

ON NOVEMBER 6, 2015 AROUND OR ABOUT 7:00PM MY V6 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON WHILE IN FIRST GEAR IN MOSTION; THE SUV ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION TURNED OFF HAD NO BRAKES AND HAD A FENDER BENDER WHILE IN MOTION , HAD THE SUV TOWED HOME AND CHECKED THE CODE ON THE OBD AND IT READ CODE: U1000 CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN) COMMUNCATION LINE SIGAL MALFUNCTION.DID A VISUAL CHECK INSIDE RADIATOR FILLER PORT, ELECTRICAL FUSE (10AMP FUSE TO THE TRANSMISSION BLEW WHICH ATOMCTICLY TOLD ME A COMMUNICATION HARNESS IS OPEN OR SHORTED; OR A FAULTY ENGINE CONTROL MODULE(ECM))AND ALSO CHECKED THE RESIVOR FILLER PORT, FOUND RED TRANSMISSION FLUID AND GREEN ENGINE COOLENT FLUID INCORPORATED IN RADIATOR (CONTAMINATION) ,ALSO CHECKED TRANSMISSION DIP STICK TO SEE IF TRANSMISSON FLUIDS LOW BUT INSTEAD FOUND RUST AT THE END PART OF THE DIPSTICK INSIDE THE TRANSMISSON INDICATING ENGINE COOLENT CONTAMINATION (WATER) ALL INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION.WHO KNOW HOW MUCH RUST IS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION UNTIL A FULL TEAR DOWN AND THOROUGH INSPECTION IS PERFORMED.....CAR IS STATIONARY AND WILL NOT START

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE FUEL TANK DID NOT DISPLAY THE CORRECT READING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL SENDER FLOAT ARM MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 104,000. *TT *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. AFTER SHIFTING THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE, A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

OUR PATHFINDER SEEMINGLY LOST POWER AND CONTROL, ALMOST RESULTING IN NEAR COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE APPROACHING AND ANOTHER VEHICLE BEHIND ALMOST REAR ENDED WHILE TURNING INTO SHOPPING PLAZA. COASTED TO SIDE WHILE SMOKE AND YELLOWISH/ GREEN LIQUID POURED OUT FROM THE HOOD. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. MECHANICS ANALYSIS WAS RELATED TO CONTAMINATION FROM COOLANT / RADIATOR / TRANSMISSION. COMPLETE FAILURE OF TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR AND CROSS CONTAMINATION OF ALL RELATED PARTS. POSSIBLY $6000 TO $8000 REPAIR COSTS. TOTAL LOSS TO US, AND WE STILL OWE FOR FINANCING, TRUCK IS PROBABLY NOT EVEN VALUED AT THAT.

THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR IS FAILING, CAUSING ERRATIC OR INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE READINGS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATES. NISSAN HAS RECALLED 2006 - 2008 VEHICLES FOR THIS FUEL GAUGE ISSUE. RECALL ANNOUNCED: MARCH 03 2010 NHTSA REFERENCE: #10V075000 NUMBER AFFECTED: 80,689 SUMMARY: NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006 AND MODEL YEAR 2008 FRONTIER, XTERRA AND PATHFINDER VEHICLES. THE MOLDED FUEL TANK SHELLS CAN DEFORM, CAUSING THE FUEL SENDER FLOAT ARM TO CONTACT AN EMBOSSMENT MOLDED INTO THE TANK SHELL CAUSING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE TO SHOW THAT THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY ONE QUARTER TANK WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY. CONSEQUENCE: THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL IN TRAFFIC, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT TO BOTH NISSAN AND THE NHTSA...AND IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED BEFORE THERE IS A FATALITY IN MY FAMILY

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE FAST LANE AT 85 MPH THE CAR LOST POWER COMPLETELY. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS IN MY VICINITY. COASTED OVER 2 LANES TO BREAKDOWN LANE JUST BARELY OVER THE LINE. GAS GAGE READ 1/4 TANK SO FIGURED I STILL HAD GAS. TRIED TO RESTART SEVERAL TIMES BUT CAR ACTED LIKE IT WAS OUT OF GAS. CALLED AAA FOR A TOW TRUCK AND ASKED TO BRING GAS JUST IN CASE. CAR STARTED RIGHT UP AFTER MECHANIC PUT GAS IN TANK. ALTHOUGH THIS ISSUE IS A RECALL1 NISSAN WILL NOT REPAIR FOR FREE. SAY MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND IT WILL COST ME $450. RECALL SUMMARY:NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006 AND MODEL YEAR 2008 FRONTIER, XTERRA AND PATHFINDER VEHICLES. THE MOLDED FUEL TANK SHELLS CAN DEFORM, CAUSING THE FUEL SENDER FLOAT ARM TO CONTACT AN EMBOSSMENT MOLDED INTO THE TANK SHELL CAUSING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE TO SHOW THAT THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY ONE QUARTER TANK WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY. HAZARD:THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL IN TRAFFIC, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

WHEN I PULLED OUT IN TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC MY CAR REVVED BUT DID NOT GO ANYWHERE. MY 5 YEAR OLD WAS IN HIS BABY SEAT WITH CAR AND TRUCKS HONKING AND SWERVING AROUND MY TRUCK TO AVOID US.

I NOTICED A SHUDDER WHEN THE CAR SHIFTED FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR BUT SEEM TO DRIVE NORMAL OTHERWISE. I CONTACTED NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND SCHEDULED THE FIRST AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT, WHICH TOOK EXACTLY 1 WEEK FROM DATE FIRST SYMPTOM. ON THE MORNING OF MY APPOINTMENT, MY CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS AT ALL ONCE I GOT ON THE HIGHWAY, CAUSING VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR BOTH MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS. I WAS ABLE TO COAST MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS LATER INFORMED FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT A FAULTY RADIATOR LEAKED FLUID AND CONTAMINATED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, RESULTING IN A FAILED TRANSMISSION. REPAIR COSTS WOULD BE $5230, BUT THE MANAGER WOULD AGREE TO DO IT FOR $4165. I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY WERE AWARE OF FAULTY RADIATOR IN THE 2005-06 MODELS BUT WERE UNAWARE OTHER MODELS HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I HAD ALREADY RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM, TO FIND THAT NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS HAD BEEN FILED REGARDING 2005-2010 PATHFINDER, XTERRAS, AND FRONTIER AND NISSAN HAD SETTLED A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT BY OFFERING AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE RADIATOR ASSEMBLY. SINCE I WAS BARELY OUTSIDE OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO INQUIRE ABOUT ASSISTANCE WITH GOODWILL REPAIR SINCE THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE WAS THE RESULT OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I WAS INFORMED BY THE REGIONAL SPECIALIST SHE WOULD NEED A WEEK TO REVIEW THE CASE. ONE WEEK TO THE DATE, SHE RETURNED MY CALL INQUIRING IF I WOULD BE WILLING TO PAY THE COPAY LISTED IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND I INFORMED HER YES. SHE THEN INQUIRED IF I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN A POSSIBLE VPP DISCOUNT ON A 2015 NISSAN AUTOMOBILE. I INFORMED HER I WAS INTERESTED IN ALL OPTIONS IN ORDER TO MAKE THE BEST CHOICE FOR MY SITUATION. SHE ASKED FOR TWO MORE DAYS TO REVIEW CASE AND RETURNED MY CALL TWO DAYS LATER TO TELL ME NISSAN WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY TYPE OF ASSISTANCE TO ME IN MY REPAIRS.

CROSS CONTAMINATION OF THE RADIATOR FLUID AND TRANSMISSION FLUID DUE TO FAULTY MFG(NISSAN) DESIGN CAUSED TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. $3000 OUT OF POCKET DUE TO A MFG FAULT!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

AFTER DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MILES, MY CAR STOPPED RUNNING AND A LITTLE SMOKE CAME FROM THE HOOD. WHEN I PARKED THE CAR IT WOULD CRANK BUT WOULD NOT START. WHENEVER I TURN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION IT CRANKS BUT WONT CATCH AS IF THE BATTERY IS DEAD OR LOW ON FUEL. I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY BATTERY FOR A WHILE BUT IF I HIT THE STARTER IT WOULD CRANK. I DONT BELIEVE IT IS ANYTHING MAJOR BECAUSE IT DIDNT SHOW ANY SIGNS.

TRANSMITION FAILURE HARD SHIFTING DUE TO COOLANT CONTAMINATES THE TRANSMITION, RADIATOR AND TRANSMITION NEEDS TO BE REPLACE

FELT JERKING WHILE DRIVING AT 40-45 MPH TO THE POINT WHERE IT FELT LIKE I WAS LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. IT FELT LIKE IT WOULD GO TO NEUTRAL AND SUDDENLY BACK INTO GEAR REALLY HARD SO IT WOULD CAUSE SOMETHING LIKE A TORQUE PULL. SO, TOOK TO DEALER SERVICE SHOP AND WAS DIAGNOSED AS DEFECTIVE RADIATOR CRACKED AND LEAKED COOLANT FLUID INTO THE RADIATOR COOLER CAUSING A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. FORTUNATELY, DIDN'T LOSE CONTROL WHILE DRIVING BUT IT FELT CLOSE TO SOMETIMES. I BELIEVE A LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVER COULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE.

WAS TOLD TRANSMISSION FAILED DUE TO FAULTY RADIATOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO CHANGE GEARS PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A TRANSMISSION FLUSH BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SHAKING AND VIBRATING WITH AN ABNORMAL NOISE AS THE FAILURE PROGRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A FRACTURE IN THE CONNECTION PIECE TO THE RADIATOR AND THAT CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING INTO THE RADIATOR. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

I TURNED ON MY TRUCK IN THE MORNING IT MADE A WEIRD NOISE IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING WAS RATTLING IN THE TRUCK I CHECKED THE TRUCK WATER OIL EVERYTHING LOOKED NORMAL EXCEPT THE NOISE ... I WENT WHO WORK AFTER WORK I A SON AS I TURNED ON TRUCK NOISE WAS LOUDER AND I COULDN'T DRIVE IT MORE THEN 20MILES IT STARTED SHAKING AND SWERVING I RITE AWAY TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC ...AND HE SAID THAT THE TIMING BELT AND TRANSMISSION WERE THE CAUSE OF THAT RATTLE NOISE AND THAT'S WHY I COULDN'T RUN IT MORE THAN 10-20MILES ... NOW TO FIX IT'S 4,500 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION... I HAD JUST GOT THE VIECHLE 3 MONTHS AGO FROM THE DEALERSHIP NOW THEY WON'T HELP ME FIX . NOW AM STUCK WITH A CAR THAT DOESN'T WORK AND STILL MAKING PAYMENTS... I'VE SEEN ONLINE THAT NISSAN SUV'S HAVE THIS KIND OF PROBLEM THAT'S LIKE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT .

TRANSMISSION FLUID MIXED IN WITH RADIATOR FLUID. LEAKING OUT OF TRUCK. KNOW ISSUE WITH NISSAN TRUCKS.

TROUBLE CODE P0463, SES LIGHT CAME ON. ITS THE SAME TROUBLE CODE THAT CERTAIN NISSAN MODELS FUEL GAGES READ 1/4 OF A TANK WHEN EMPTY. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH MINE OR RECALLS IT IS A 08 LE V8 PATHFINDER.

THE PASSENGER SIDE "AIRBAG CHECK" AND SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT IS ON ON MY VEHICLE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. THEY ARE ON WHENEVER THE ENGINE IS ON, WHETHER THERE IS A PASSENGER ON THAT SEAT OR NOT. MY CAR FAILED TO PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE OF IT. I NOTICED FROM THE NHTAS WEBSITE THAT CERTAIN NISSAN PATHFINDER SOLD IN MASSACHUSETTS IN 2008 ARE INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. HOWEVER, MY CAR IS NOT YET INCLUDED IN THE RECALLING LIST. BY THE WAY, THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY COLLISION OR OTHER ACCIDENT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

SHIFTS ROUGH - NISSAN DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED AS CROSS CONTAMINATION OF ENGINE COOLANT, ATF, AND MILKY RADIATOR CAP. RECOMMED REPLACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR, TRANS COOLER AND THERMOSTAT. QUOTED $6400.00 TO REPAIR. WHO HAS $6400 LAYING AROUND FOR CAR REPAIRS. WITH ONLY 122,000 MILES ON CAR I CERTAINLY DIDN'T THINK I WOULD BE NEEDING TO PURCHASE ANOTHER CAR AND HAVE CAR PAYMENTS RIGHT NOW. NO HELP FROM NISSAN AND WE JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THAT NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF IT. THEY SHOULD BE COVERING THE PROBLEM.

AFTER MY WIFE HAD DIFFICULTY TRYING TO UNLOCK THE DRIVER DOOR USING THE THUMB BUTTON, SHE HAD TO RESULT IN USING THE KEY FOB... THEN WHILE DRIVING TO WORK SHE WAS ABOUT TO GET ON THE FREEWAY WHEN SHE NOTICED THE FUEL GAUGE WAS READING EMPTY. SHE PULLED INTO THE NEAREST SERVICE STATION TO FILL UP BUT WAS ONLY ALLOWED TO PUT IN 3 GALLONS. THEN THE GAUGE READ FULL. I HAD FILLED IT THE DAY BEFORE. AFTER WORK SHE NEEDED TO PICK UP FRIENDS AT THE AIRPORT AND TRIED TO USE THE REAR AC BUT IT WOULD ONLY BLOW HOT AIR..... NOW WHERE TO FIND OUT IF THESE ISSUES ALONG WITH THE AIR BAGS CAN BE FIXED... SUCH A HASSLE TO DEAL WITH THE DEALER FOR ITEMS LIKE THESE THAT SHOULD BE WARRANTY TYPE FIXES. WHAT IS A CONSUMER TO DO?

HOW IS THIS NOT A RECALL?? IM DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY WITH MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE AND THE TRANSMISSION DECIDES TO START SHAKING AND SLIP RIGHT OUT OF GEAR AS I AM IN THE FAR LEFT LANE TRYING TO GET OVER TO STOP THE CAR!! ALMOST CAUSING A HUGE ACCIDENT!! ALL MY TRANSMISSION FLUID HAS LEAKED IN WITH MY COOLANT FOR MY RAD. DESTROYING MY TRANSMISSION.

MY RADIATOR WAS REPLACED IN 8/14 DUE TO A HOSE COMING LOOSE AND CAUSING FLUIDS TO COMINGLE. 5/2/15 WHILE DRIVING MY CHILDREN HOME FROM SOCCER MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE CAR COULD BARELY ACCELERATE. I DROVE TO A GARAGE, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. TOWED CAR TO THE GARAGE THAT REPLACED RADIATOR 8/11/14, AFTER TWO AND A HALF DAYS AM BEING TOLD MY 08 PATHFINDER MUST BE TOWED TO A DEALER TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED. THE CAR HAS 89,000 MILES. *TR

THE RADIATOR FAILED CAUSING ENGINE COOLANT TO MIX WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THIS CAUSED DAMAGE TO ALL OF THE ENGINE COOLANT PARTS AND CAUSED A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED GEARS WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY.

2008 PATHFINDER - RADIATOR CRACKED CAUSING FLUID TO LEAK INTO AND DESTROY THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM TO NISSAN. PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED TO THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES. ISSUE ORIGINALLY OCCURRED IN DECEMBER, 2013. ISSUE WAS FIXED AT BUTLER NISSAN. ISSUE REPAIRED WITH SUBSTANDARD AND USED PARTS, WHICH RESULTED IN SAME ISSUE OCCURRING - RADIATOR CRACKING, WHICH CAUSED CATASTROPHIC FAILURE TO THE TRANSMISSION. ISSUE OCCURRED WHILE WE WERE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. FLUID LEAKED INTO ENGINE, CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SMOKE AND OBSTRUCT OUR VIEW OF THE ROAD. WE WERE ABLE TO PULL CAR INTO BUSINESS WITHOUT A COLLISION. CONCERNED THAT NISSAN WAS WILLING TO ALLOW AN UNSAFE VEHICLE BACK OUT ON THE ROAD AFTER KNOWINGLY REPAIRING AN ISSUE WITH SUBSTANDARD PARTS. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER WHEN HER SERVICE ENGINE SOON AND 4WD WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE PULLING UP TO AN INTERSECTION. WHEN SHE PULLED AWAY FROM THE INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE MOVED VERY SLOWLY AND WOULD NO LONGER SHIFT. AFTER SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. A TRANSMISSION SHOP HAS TESTED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FOUND GLYCOL CONTAMINATION FROM THE TRANSMISSION COOLER THAT HAS SHORTED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THE VEHICLE REQUIRES A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION REBUILD, NEW TCM AND A RADIATOR BYPASS TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. TOTAL COST WILL BE APPROXIMATELY $4000. *TR

COUPLE YEARS AGO AROUND 60,000 MILE OR SO AGO STARTED TO NOTICE HESITANCY WHEN SHIFTING AROUND 40MPH. NISSAN STATED THAT WAS DUE TO HOW I BROKE THE CAR IN. SO I LET IT GO THINKING THAT IT WAS OKAY... THEN IT STARTED AT 60MPH AND KEPT GETTING WORSE AT EVERY GEAR, SOUNDED LIKE I WAS DRIVING ON RUMBLE STRIPS. SO I TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC THEY INFORM ME THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY THE RADIATOR FLUID LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. WHICH I SEE NOW THAT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM! I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE I WAS OVER THE MILES ON THE EXTENDED WARRANTY NOW. IF IT WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WHY WAS I NOT NOTIFIED? THEY HAD NO ANSWER SO I AM JUST INFORMING YOU THAT THIS IS STILL HAPPENING AND TO GET IT ON RECORD. *TR

THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY MODEL OF PATHFINDER FOR AIR BAG ISSUES. IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER THAT RECALL. AT 94000 MILES THE ISSUE MANIFESTED ITSELF EVEN AFTER THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE ISSUE. WHEN THERE IS NOBODY IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT THE LIGHT ON THE DASH WILL SHUTOFF INDICATING THERE IS SOMEBODY IN THE SEAT EVEN WHEN THERE IS NO PASSENGER. THE AIR BAG SENSOR ON THE STEERING COUNSEL WILL THEN START FLASHING THAT AN ERROR HAS OCCURRED. I CONTACTED NISSAN CORPORATE TO ADVISE THEM THAT THE ISSUE IS STILL OCCURRING FOR WHAT MY RECALL COVERED. THEY DID NOT CARE THEY ONLY ADVISED ME THAT THE VEHICLE HAS ALREADY RECEIVED THE RECALL FOR THAT ISSUE.. THEY THEN ADVISED ME THAT IF 'D LIKE IT REPAIRED I HAVE TO TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIR OUT OF POCKET AT A NISSAN DEALER. THEY DID NOT ASK FOR ANY INFO AT ALL JUST BLEW ME OFF. I AM WRITING TODAY AS I READ IN TIME MAGAZINE THAT NHTSA IS OPENING AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE AIRBAG RECALLS ON THE NEWER MODELS AND NISSAN FAILED TO REPAIR THEM PROPERLY. I AM ADVISING YOU THAT NISSAN'S RECALLS ON THE 2008+ ALSO DID NOT WORK, AND NISSAN REFUSED TO EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED IT WHEN I CALLED THEM AND EMAILED THEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT SHOWING AN ACCURATE READING. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 158,000.

CATASTROPHIC COOLING/TRANSMISSION FAILURE. TRAVELING EAST ON A HEAVILY TRAVELED SINGLE LANE HIGHWAY WITH NO BREAKDOWN LANE. SUDDEN NOISE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, SOUNDING LIKE LIQUIDS BEING EXPELLED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE PEGS TO HIGH. LIMPED ALONG THE HIGHWAY UNTIL I COULD REACH A SAFE POINT TO PULL THE OVERHEATING VEHICLE OFF ROAD. ARRANGED FOR A TOW AND HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED. THE INSPECTION REVEALED FAILURE OF THE RADIATOR. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION AND WITH SOME RESEARCH, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT NISSAN HAS A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW THAT CONTRIBUTES TO THE EVENTUAL FAILURE, IN A CATASTROPHIC EVENT, OF THE COOLING AND TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS. MY VEHICLE WAS MIXING ENGINE COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID TOGETHER. THE SUDDEN FAILURE OF THE RADIATOR, EXPELLED ENGINE COOLING AND TRANSMISSION FLUID IN A SUDDEN AND RAPID EVENT. THIS IS A KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED EVENT THAT NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE OF. A SUDDEN FAILURE OF THESE COMPONENTS POSES A SAFETY RISK FOR THE OWNER, OCCUPANT, PUBLIC AND ENVIRONMENT. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK AND GETTING BACK ON THE HIGHWAY, I NOTICED MY GAS GAUGE WAS READING I HAD 1/4 TANK AND MY TACHOMETER WAS FLASHING DASHES ALL THE WAY ACROSS. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND CHECKED TO SEE IF MY GAS CAP WAS ON AND IT WAS. THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING FINE SO I CONTINUED ON MY WAY. EVENTUALLY, THE GAS GAUGE MOVED TO THE FULL POSITION AND MY TACHOMETER BEGAN TO KEEP THE MILES TO EMPTY, BUT NOT ACCURATELY. ONCE I GOT HOME, I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. CAMPAIGN ID 10V075000. I'VE CONTACTED NISSAN 4 DIFFERENT TIMES AND NO ONE IS WILLING TO HELP ME WITH THIS MATTER. MY VEHICLE'S GAS GAUGE WILL NOT GO BELOW 1/4 TANK. I'VE ALREADY RUN OUT OF GAS TWICE BECAUSE I FORGOT TO KEEP TRACK. RUNNING OUT OF GAS ON US HWY 275 SOUTH IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IS NOT FUN. I WAS LUCKY THAT I DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO HAVE MY VEHICLE FIXED? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FROM A STOP IT WAS AS IF IT WAS NOT SHIFTING TO FIRST GEAR FROM A STOP. ALSO WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WOULD BEGIN TO SHUDDER VIOLENTLY AND WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AS IT TURNS OUT, A LINE INSIDE RADIATOR COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION BROKE AND CAUSED CONTAMINATION. COOLANT MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID CREATED A SLUDGE THAT CONTAMINATED BOTH COOLANT SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION. RADIATOR WAS REPLACED AND COOLANT SYSTEM FLUSHED AS WELL AS TRANSMISSION FLUSHED. A WEEK LATER THE CAR WAS PARKED AND WOULD NOT START. AS IT TURNS OUT THE TRANSMISSION BLEW A FUSE AND WAS NOT REGISTERING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK. THIS IS ALL RELATED TO THE SAME PROBLEM THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) WAS BURNED OUT FROM THE SLUDGE CREATED BY COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID. SO NOW, EITHER THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE CLUTCH AND GEARS ARE POTENTIALLY BURNED UP OR THE TCM. WITH JUST A TCM THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT FAIL DUE TO NO WAY OF KNOWING THE CONDITION OF THE CLUTCH AND TRANSMISSION GEARS. VEHICLE IS STILL IN THE SHOP FOR OVER A MONTH NOW AND WE HAVE BEEN FORCED TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR TO MEET OUR TRANSPORTATION NEEDS. *TR

VEHICLE THREW A CODE (P0463 - FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT) INDICATING THE FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT IS MALFUNCTIONING. THIS IS A PROBLEM WHICH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA IS AWARE OF HOWEVER FAILING TO CORRECT ON MANY VEHICLES. FAILURE OF THE FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT HAS MANY POSSIBLE SEVERE SYMPTOMS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO: 1) FAILURE OF THE FUEL GAUGE TO PROPERLY INDICATE LEVELS OF FUEL, 2) FAILURE OF THE FUEL GAUGE IN ITS ENTIRETY AND/OR 3) FAILURE OF THE SENDING UNIT TO PROPERLY FUNCTION WHILE IN VEHICLES ARE IN USE POTENTIALLY CAUSING AFFECTED VEHICLES TO SHUT DOWN WHILE IN MOTION. ALSO A KNOW PROBLEM WITH RADIATOR LEAKING INTO AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WHICH RESULTED IN CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. SETTLEMENT WAS REACHED IN WHICH NISSAN OFFERS TO PAY FOR ANY AND ALL REPAIRS ONLY IF MALFUNCTION OCCURS, HOWEVER WHEN MALFUNCTION OCCURS IT CAN BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AFFECTING THE PERFORMANCE OF THE IMPACTED VEHICLE. *TR

NOTICED A SHUTTER DURING ACCELERATION. SERVICE DEPT SUGGESTED REPLACING THE RADIATOR DUE TO FAULTY RADIATOR THAT LEAKED FLUID INTO TRANNY SO I DID.I FELT THE SHUTTER ON MY WAY HOME FROM THE DEALER! I DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THE CLASS ACTION SUIT REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. I PLACED A CLAIM WITH CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND WAS TOLD I WAS 1500 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY SORRY. WILL EVENTUALLY NEED A TRANSMISSION. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILURES. *TR

MY BRAKES LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. I HAVE REPLACED ALL THE BULBS AND THEY ARE STILL IS NOT WORKING. THERE IS A FORUM ON THE WEB REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER CORRECTLY, HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW MUCH FUEL IN VEHICLE, CAUSES SENSOR LIGHT TO SHOW UP, AND CAR WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION, THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS, BUT AS OTHERS HAVE STATED MINE WASN'T ONE OF THEM. ALSO HAD PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR, WHICH AGAIN MINE WASN'T ONE OF THEM, BUT WE HAD A 100,000 MILE WARRANTY PROVIDED BY THE DEALER ON THIS. IF REALLY SEEMS TO ME, HOW DO THEY KNOW WHAT NISSANS ARE DEFECTIVE, AND WHAT ONES AREN'T IF THE PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO SO MANY OF US. WE HAD NISSANS SINCE 2000, BUT NO LONGER AND NEVER AGAIN. I GAVE THIS VEHICLE TO MY SON, AND NOW HE HAS TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, AS CAR WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION. *TR

I OWN A NISSAN PATHFINDER 2008. THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED WHEN THE VEHICLE'S RADIATOR BEGAN TO RUN HOT. WE TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE COOLANT WAS MIXING WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. WE REPLACED THE RADIATOR IN HOPES THAT THE DAMAGE HAD NOT EXTENDED TO THE TRANSMISSION. WHILE OUT OF TOWN ON A TRIP, THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT IN THE PATHFINDER. THE TRUCK WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE LOCAL DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS GONE, AND IT WOULD REQUIRE REPLACING. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY CALLED NISSAN AND WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF RECALL, BUT MY VEHICLE HAD TOO MANY MILES. THE DEFECT IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, NOT ONE OF MY OWN DOING. NISSAN WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER. THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE DEALING WITH THE SAME THING. *TR

STARTED NOTICING A VIBRATION IN THE PATHFINDER AT 40 MILES PER HOUR. CALLED TO SET AN APPOINTMENT AND THE DEALER DID NOT GET BACK TO ME. THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE CALLED AGAIN AND GOT THROUGH AFTER WAITING 20 MINUTES. TOOK IT IN TODAY AND WAS TOLD I NEED A RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION FOR $4500.00. I TOLD THEM TO LET ME THINK ABOUT IT. THEN FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS GOING ON WITH MANY NISSAN VEHICLES. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT BUT BECAUSE I NOW HAVE OVER 100000 MILES IT DOES NOT APPLY TO ME. SO THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT IS TOTALLY OUT OF POCKET FOR ME. IF THEY KNOW OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT SHOULD THIS NOT BE A RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG AND WEIGHT SENSOR INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PUSH IN SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,940.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) AND STATED THAT THE SAME FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I, A FEMALE, PURCHASED A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER FROM INTEGRITY CHEVROLET IN CHATTANOOGA, TN. A DAY LATER THE PATHFINDER IS SKIPPING, VIBRATING AND RATTLING, REAR END CLUNKING AT 40 MPH. SHIFTS HARD AT 4 AND 5. GOT 4 MECHANICS AND THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO CHECK ALL THIS OUT AND THEY ALL CONCLUDED THE COOLANT OVERFLOW TANK WAS FILTHY, STINKS- NOT THE SWEET SMELL- SMELLED BURNT AND RUSTY. THE VALVES WERE BLOATED AND RADIATOR CAP SEAL WAS LOOSE. LOW ON COOLANT, HIGH IN WATER. TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR NEEDS TO BE FLUSHED AND CHECKED FOR 'SLUDGE'! THE DEALERSHIP'S ASSOCIATE, [XXX] , ASSURED ME THE 2008 PATHFINDER HAD BEEN SERVICED AND ALL FLUIDS CHECKED AND FILLED. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THE 4 MECHANICS ALL STATED THAT 'NO SERVICE OR FLUIDS WERE CHECKED!' IF IT HAD BEEN, THE DEALERSHIP WOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE! THE COOLANT FROM THE RADIATOR IS MIXING WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE TRANSMISSION, CAUSING A MILKY- SLUDGE. NO ONE CAN CONVINCE ME THAT THIS DEALERSHIP, INTEGRITY CHEVROLET, IN CHATT, TN, DID NOT KNOW OF THIS ISSUE- IT IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN PATHFINDERS, XTERRAS AND FRONTIERS YEARS 2006-2010. ANY GOOD ASSOCIATE WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS ISSUE- IN ORDER TO SELL THIS AUTOMOBILE HONESTLY! [XXX] , TO WHOM I HAVE KNOWN FOR OVER 20 YEARS, SCREWED ME OVER AND SAW AN UNKNOWING, INNOCENT WOMAN COMING HIS WAY! I HAD TO BE A GOOD JOKE THAT DAY. THIS DEALERSHIP KNEW THEY HAD TO GET RID OF THIS PATHFINDER QUICKLY B/C IT IS A 'LEMON'! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON MY NISSAN IS FAULTY. THERE IS A PART CAMPAIGN ISSUED FOR SOME VEHICLES BUT NISSAN IS NOT COVERING MINE. THE CONCERN IS THAT THE FUEL SENSOR EITHER REGISTERS EMPTY AND I CAN RUN OUT OF GASOLINE. OR AS I AM FILLING MY VEHICLE, IT MAY NOT SENSE THE LEVEL OF GASOLINE IN THE TANK AND CAUSE AN OVERFILL SITUATION. AS I LIVE IN A NEAR NON ATTAINMENT AREA, THIS SITUATION COULD BE IMPACT FUEL OF THE ENVIRONMENT. *TR

I STARTED FEELING MY CAR SLIP GEARS WHEN IT REACHED CERTAIN SPEEDS, AS WELL AS THE VDC, SLIP AND ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. WITHIN THE NEXT FEW DAYS, AS I WAS DRIVING, MY CAR OVERHEATED AND THE ANTIFREEZE POURED OUT OF IT. THE RADIATOR WAS CRACKED AND HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN MY HUSBAND CALLED NISSAN AND TOLD THEM OUR ISSUE, AND THAT OUR MILEAGE WAS 103,000, THEY SAID WE WERE NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $6,000 (OBVIOUSLY KNOWING WHAT THE ISSUE WAS FROM ALL THE OTHER TRANSMISSIONS THAT WERE RUINED FROM THEIR ERROR). MY HUSBAND'S FRIEND, WHO IS MECHANIC, REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. IT SEEMED TO RUN FINE FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, WITH THE OCCASIONAL FLUSH OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. WITHIN THE LAST WEEK, THE CAR BEGAN SLIPPING AGAIN. BY YESTERDAY, IT WOULD NOT COME OUT OF SECOND GEAR. MY TRANSMISSION IS SHOT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN, AS WE HAVE BEEN LOYAL CUSTOMERS FOR THE LAST 14 YEARS. I LOVED MY PATHFINDER, AND WOULD THINK THAT AFTER SPENDING $36,000 ON A CAR, IT WOULD HOLD UP LONGER THAN 6 YEARS. IT IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT NISSAN WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR MANUFACTURING ERROR AND THAT THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED AND DISGUSTED, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN. *TR

SES INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. LOSS OF POWER WAS NOTICED. TOOK VEHICLE TO INDEPENDENT SERVICE CENTER WHERE CODE WAS READ INDICATING FUEL SYSTEM ERROR. UPON FURTHER DIAGNOSIS, THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY WAS RECALLED. WHEN THE SELLING DEALER WAS NOTIFIED THEY SAID THE RECALL DATE HAD EXPIRED AS OF LAST NOVEMBER AND WAS NOT COVERED. THE COST TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY WAS MORE THAN $970. WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL BUT WERE NOT. SINCE THE PARTS ARE ONLY AVAILABLE FROM NISSAN, THE COST OF THE PARTS SHOULD BE COVERED EVEN AFTER EXPIRATION OF THE RECALL ESPECIALLY WITH THE LOSS OF POWER. *JS

TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS, PROBLEM STATED IN DECEMBER 2013, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR MORE THAN 10 TIMES. THEY SAID THEY'VE TRIED EVERYTHING BUT THE INDICATOR LIGHT WOULDN'T GO AWAY. I HAVE PAID FOR REPLACEMENT AND STILL THE INDICATOR LIGHT WOULDN'T GO AWAY. I HAVE FAILED MY STATE INSPECTION DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY'VE REPLACED THE SENSORS BUT THE LIGHTS INDICATORS WILL NOT GO AWAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS JERKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE WAY THE RADIATOR WAS BUILT ALLOWED THE FLUIDS TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION AS A RESULT THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 9/12/14*CN THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR THE RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION DEFECT. THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE. UPDATED 02/05/2015*JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO DISPLAY THE ACCURATE READING FUEL LEVELS. ON ONE OCCASION WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE FUEL TANK DISPLAYED FULL WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS ACTUALLY EMPTY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 96,488.

RADIATOR CRACK CAUSED THE COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID TO MIX CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS GOING ABOUT 60MPH AND THE CAR SUDDENLY JERKED NEARLY GIVING ME WHIPLASH. I THEN LOOKED DOWN AT THE GAUGE CLUSTER AND NO LIGHTS WERE ON AND EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL, AND IN ABOUT 5 SECONDS IT DID IT AGAIN... I SLOWED DOWN AS FAST AS I COULD TO MERGE OVER AND GET OUT OF TRAFFIC AND AS I WENT TO PULL OFF THE CAR SHUT DOWN AND I COULD NOT GET IT RESTARTED. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO MY HOUSE AND PARKED IT FOR A FEW DAYS. THE BATTERY WENT DEAD FROM TRYING TO START IT SO MUCH SO I TOOK IT TO A O'REILY AND FOUND THE BATTERY TO BE BAD SO IT WAS REPLACED. THE CAR THEN STARTED UP AND I DROVE SLOWLY AROUND MY NIEGHBORHOOD AND IT SEEMED OK. THE NEXT DAY MY WIFE TOOK IT BACK TO O'RELIY TO HAVE THE ALTERNATOR TESTED AND IT WAS FINE. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS SOMETHING WRONG TO CAUSE IT TO SHUT DOWN LIKE THAT AND AS SHE WAS DRIVING HOME IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN PATHFINDERS AND THAT THEY DID NOT LET THE OWNERS KNOW ABOUT THE ISSUE WITH THE RADIATOR FLUID MIXING WITH THE TRANNY FLUID AND RENDERING THE VEHICLE USELESS. I CALLED NISSAN TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT I AM OUT OF LUCK SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO RISE ABOVE THREE QUARTERS OF A TANK AFTER REFUELING TO FULL CAPACITY AND THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN MADE THE CONTACT AWARE THAT RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) WAS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE FAILURE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXHIBITING. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED SINCE THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

AFTER MONTHS OF SEARCHING FOR A GOOD USED CAR, I RESEARCHED, VERIFIED, TEST DROVE, AND GOT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANICS CHECK ON A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER SOLD BY A PRIVATE SELLER AS "IN PERFECT AND EXCELLENT WORKING CONDITION" BOUGHT IT ON A SATURDAY NITE, DROVE IT 20 MINUTES HOME, THEN DROVE IT FOR THE NEXT FIRST TIME TWO DAYS LATER ON A LONG 200 MILE TRIP OUT OF COUNTRY. I BEGAN TO HEAR THE STRANGE HIGH PITCHED NOISE ALONG THE WAY. WHEN I ARRIVED TO MY DESTINATION,I IMMEDIATELY CONTRACTED A MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS INTERNAL, RECOMMENDING I TAKE TO NISSAN FOR ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS. I ALSO CALLED 4 DIFF NISSAN DEALERSHIPS, AND WHO DIAGNOSED THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUE OVER THE PHONE,.I ALSO CALLED NISSAN CORP AND OPENED A CLAIM WAS ADVISED TO GET FORMAL DIAGNOSIS FROM A DEALERSHIP. I ANXIOUSLY DROVE BACK THE 200 MILES AND TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP. FYI, I CONTACTED ORIGINAL SELLER WHO STATED AGAIN SHE KNEW NOTHING OF THE PROBLEM BUT COULD NOT HELP. I NOW HAVE FORMAL DOCUMENTATION OF THE TIMING CHAIN PROBLEM AND REPAIR ESTIMATE $1,650, ALSO, I WAS ADVISED TO IMMEDIATELY REPLACE MY RADIATOR DUE TO A WELL KNOWN, DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH LEAKAGE INTO THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR. I ALSO DID MORE RESEARCH FINDING HUNDREDS OF DOCUMENTED COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE TWO ABOVE FAULTY AND WELL KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE PATHFINDERS AND A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT! MY NEW $10,500 CAR IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY, AFTER ONLY DRIVING IT ONE TIME IM LOOKING AT $3000 WORTH OF NECESSARY WORK, AND I WILL STILL BE AFRAID TO PUT MY 3 DAUGHTERS INTO THIS VEHICLE UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION! NISSAN HAS YET TO GET BACK TO ME, IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT NISSAN HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE SERIOUS ISSUES. MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED .WHEN WILL THE GOVERNMENT MAKE NISSAN TAKE RESPONSIBILITY? I SAVED AND HITCHED RIDES TO FIND AND BUY A CAR, AND NOW I HAVE NONE AND NO MONEY~! *TR

2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER STOPPED SHIFTING INTO REVERSE. WENT TO DEALER. THEY CLAIM THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND COOLANT FLUID ARE MIXING AND SAID IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. COST: $3000 UNTIL IT REACHES 100, 000 MILES; THEN IT WILL BE $9785.88. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR ALL SERVICE APPOINTMENTS AND NO MENTION OF THIS DEFECT WAS MADE. CAR IS NOW UNUSABLE UNTIL I CAN GET THE 3000.00. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT WAS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

I HAVE BEEN NOTICING THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT READ CORRECTLY. IT GETS DOWN CLOSE TO 1/4 TANK AND THEN WILL STAY THERE. THE READ OUT ON THE INFORMATION SCREEN WILL REPORT "0 MILES TO EMPTY". THIS LEAVES ME NOT KNOWING THE AMOUNT OF FUEL LEFT IN MY TANK, AND FEARFUL OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS AND/ OR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER SE V-8 MODEL. IT STARTED IN THE FALL 2013 WHEN GAS GAUGE STARTED READING SPORADIC FUEL LEVELS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN INCORRECT READING THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY EVEN THOUGH FUEL WAS DISPENSED IN THE FUEL TANK. THERE WAS A RECALL RELATED TO THE FAILURE UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE);HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR WAS THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

UPON DRIVING AT 25MPH THE RPM'S INCREASED WITHOUT ANY POWER. NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS I GAVE IT O WOULD ONLY CRAWL AND COULD BARELY EXIT THE INTERSECTION. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. I TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WOULD NOT. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION ARE BAD. I THEN LEARNED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY NISSAN SUV'S. *TR

UPON DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY WITH 3/4 READING ON THE GAS GAUGE THE GAS GAUGE NEEDLE SUDDENLY DROPPED TO EMPTY. UNTIL I GOT IT FIXED I WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH GAS WAS IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED INCORRECT FUEL LEVELS AND FLUCTUATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 71,908.

THE RADIATOR FLUID HAS BEEN LEAKED INTO MY TRANSMISSION. NISSAN SAYS THAT I MUST PAY $2500 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED BECAUSE I AM 1000 MILES OVER THEIR CUTOFF. THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND NEVER INFORMED THEIR CONSUMERS OF THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM. I WOULD HAVE HAD IT CHECKED SOONER IF I WAS INFORMED. I NOW CANNOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE FOR FEAR THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL GIVE OUT AND CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I HAVE NOW SENT A DEMAND LETTER TO NISSAN IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET THEM TO OWN UP TO THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE IT FULLY COVERED. *TT

CAR SUDDENLY STALLS AND WILL NOT DRIVE IN "REVERSE". PER MECHANIC, THERE IS A CRACK IN THE RADIATOR WHICH IS ALLOWING COOLANT FROM THE RADIATOR TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSMISSION. APPARENTLY, THERE HAS BEEN A PREVIOUS LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. A RECALL ON THESE "CRACKED RADIATORS" MUST BE ISSUED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND FUEL GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY, FILLED TANK UP AND THE FUEL GAUGE STAYED AT EMPTY. NEXT DAY ALL SEEMED OKAY WITH THE FUEL GAUGE, BUT FOUR DAYS LATER RAN OUT OF GAS AND FUEL GAUGE WAS READING A 1/4 TANK OF GAS. *TR

WAS IN TRAFFIC AND FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WAS AT 1/4 TANK. I DECIDED TO STOP AT MY USUAL GAS STATION TO FILL UP. I COMPLETELY FILLED THE TANK AND THEN WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE I NOTICED THE FUEL GAUGE DIDN'T GO BACK UP TO FULL. IT TOOK OVER 30 MILES FOR IT TO FINALLY GO BACK UP TO FULL AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. EVER SINCE THEN FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T GO DOWN PAST 1/4 TANK AND IF I DON'T USE MY TRIP ODOMETER TO GAUGE HOW MANY MILES I HAVE GOWN I WOULD RUN OUT OF GAS! I FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM FROM OTHER OWNERS AND FOUND A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. ALSO FOUND WHERE NISSAN REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNDER RECALL/WARRANTY. I CONTACTED NISSAN WITH MY VIN NUMBER AND THEY SAID MY CAR WAS NOT ONE OF THE RECALLS. THEN I ASKED FOR A LIST OF THE VIN NUMBERS FOR ALL THE PATHFINDERS RECALLED FOR THIS AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT GIVE OUT THAT INFORMATION. I TOLD THEM I WANTED VISUAL PROOF THAT MY CAR WAS NOT ONE OF THE RECALLS SINCE I HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. AGAIN THEY REFUSED TO PROVIDE THIS. NISSAN SHOULD BE LIABLE AND BE MADE TO BACK THIS PROBLEM RECALL WITH MY NISSAN PATHFINDER! DO NOT BYE A NISSAN PRODUCT CAUSE THEY DO NOT BACK THEIR PRODUCTS AND PAY FOR RECALLS. *TR

I WAS PULLING OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN MY CAR LOST POWER AND WOULDN'T MOVE . THE TRANSMISSION BUCKED AND KICKED BACK IN AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE . I BROUGHT VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC THE NEXT DAY AND HE FOUND THE RADIATOR COOLANT WAS IN MY TRANSMISSION . AFTER FURTHER LOOK HE FOUND COOLANT LINE WAS WERE LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION WHICH HAD CAUSED FAILURE . MY VEHICLE IS PAST THE NISSAN WARRANTY BECAUSE OF MILES BUT THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM ON ALL NISSAN SUV'S MADE IN THESE TIME FRAMES . THIS ISN'T A WARRANTY ISSUE, IT IS A RECALL ISSUE . NISSAN NEEDS TO STAND UP FOR THEIR MISTAKE AND SUBMIT A RECALL. *TR

FUEL GAUGE SHOWS EM PTY WHEN FILLED. DANGER ON RUNNING OUT OF GAS AND POTENTIAL TO CAUSE ACCIDENT. *TR

THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE RADIATOR THAT CONTAMINATED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION BOTH NEED TO BE REPLACED OR REBUILT. NISSAN WILL NOT COVER WARRANTY SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OVER 90K MILES. *TR

RADIATOR FLUID LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION FLUID CAUSING VEHICLE TO VIOLENTLY SHIMMY AT ABOUT 40 MPH. THE REPAIRS CAME TO $1,334.55. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY ($119.21), RADIATOR ($266.95), RADIATOR HOSE ($14.35), SERPENTINE BELT ($29.95). THEY USED A TRANSMISSION FLUSH KIT ($29.95), A COOLING SYSTEM FLUSH KIT ($29.99) AND A GLOBAL EXTENDED LIFE COOLANT ($29.92). THEY USED $50.00 IN SHOP SUPPLIES AND LABOR WAS $587.00. TAX WAS $87.31. *TR

STARTING LAST SUMMER WE INITIALLY NOTICED A PROBLEM WITH OUR GAS GAUGE READING, BUT IT SEEMED TO GO AWAY. IT IS NOW HAPPENING FREQUENTLY AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. WE WERE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A 4 LANE AND WE THOUGHT WE HAD ENOUGH GAS, 1/4 TANK?, BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN WE RAN OUT OF GAS. WE WERE LUCKY THAT WE WERE NOT HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK. WE FORTUNATELY WERE ABLE TO PUSH IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAIT FOR MY SON TO COME WITH A CAN OF GAS. WE CALLED DORSCHEL NISSAN IN ROCHESTER AND THEY AGREED THAT IT WAS A RECALL, WE HAD WENT ON YOUR SITE AND CHECKED PRIOR (10V075000). WE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. NOW WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM THEM TELLING US THAT IT IS NOT COVERED, THAT IT WAS A WARRANTY EXTENSION ITEM AND THAT WE ARE PAST THE DATE?? WOW, WHAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT THIS IS NOT A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ITEM. THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THESE SENSORS (80,000 RECALLS?) NOW THE GAS GAUGE IS DOING OTHER THINGS, SAYING WE DON'T HAVE ANY GAS WHEN WE JUST FILLED UP? *TR

THE RADIATOR CRACKED SENDING THE FLUID STRAIGHT TO THE TRANSMISSION AND DAMAGED THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR SO NOW I NEED BOTH NEW PARTS ESTIMATE ABOUT 5,700 FROM NISSAN DEALERSHIP. *TR

WE PURCHASED A USED 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER FROM CAMPBELL/NELSON ON HWY 99 EDMONDS WASHINGTON A COUPLE YEARS AGO. WE WERE NOT TOLD THE GAS GAGE DID NOT WORK FOUND OUT BY NEARLY BEING STUCK WITHOUT GAS IN TRAFFIC IN DECEMBER WE HAD TO TAKE IT THROUGH THE EMISSION TEST EXAM. HERE IN WASHINGTON STATE ONLY TO FAIL BECAUSE OF A BAD GAS SENSOR. WE TOOK IT TO CAMPBELL NELSON WHERE THEY GAVE US A WAIVER FOR THIS YEAR SO WE COULD GET OUR LIC. TABS RENEWED BUT IN ORDER TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM WILL COST US $700. HAD WE BEEN TOLD OF THIS WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR WE WOULD NOT HAVE. *TR

AT 3/4 OF A TANK THE FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO 0 AND THE FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT STAYS ON. *TR

THE REAR DOOR/HATCH UNLATCHES WHILE DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WITH PEOPLE IN THE 3RD ROW AND WITH PACKAGES SPILLING OUT ONTO ROADS. THE CAR IS BEING BROUGHT TO NISSAN TODAY TO GET DIAGNOSED. *TR

VEHICLE INDICATED FUEL OF ABOUT 1/4 TANK AND ABOUT 90 MILES REMAINING. IT WILL INSTANTLY DROP TO EMPTY ON THE FUEL TANK AND WILL SHOW 0 MILES REMAINING. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS. SOMETIMES IT IS EMPTY AND SOMETIMES IT HAS FUEL IN IT. *TR

I WAS INFORMED BY THE NISSAN DEALER THAT I NEED A NEW TIMING CHAIN. THIS REPAIR WILL COST ME 2300.00. I THEN DID RESEARCH ABOUT MY VEHICLE, AND SAW THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. ALSO THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED AFTER ADDING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT PROVIDE AN ACCURATE READING AND WOULD FLUCTUATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED. NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) COULD BE RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

MY 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER BEGAN SHUDDERING WHENEVER I WOULD COAST TO 40 MPH AND THEN ACCELERATE. I TOOK IT INTO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE ISSUE CHECKED OUT. THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER IN MY TRANSMISSION THAT WAS CAUSED BY LEAKAGE FROM THE RADIATOR. THEY SAID THIS WAS EVIDENCED BY RUST THAT HAD FORMED ON MY TRANSMISSION FLUID DIPSTICK. THEY QUOTED ME A REPAIR PRICE OF OVER $4,500 BUT INFORMED ME I WOULD ONLY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR $3,000 DUE TO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, I REALIZED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSANS. FURTHER, I'M CONVINCED THERE WAS EVIDENCE OF THIS ISSUE EXISTING IN MY VEHICLE LONG BEFORE I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE. I GET MY VEHICLE REGULARLY SERVICED AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND HAD MY LAST OIL CHANGE THERE ABOUT FOUR MONTHS AGO. IT TAKES A LONG TIME FOR RUST TO FORM - SO IF THERE IS RUST ON MY TRANSMISSION FLUID DIPSTICK TODAY, THEN THERE WAS PROBABLY EVIDENCE OF THE ISSUE JUST FOUR MONTHS AGO. IT WAS IN NISSAN'S BEST INTEREST TO NOT MENTION THE ISSUE TO ME SINCE THEY NEEDED ME TO BE OVER THE 90,000 MILE MARK SO THAT I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR MORE OF THE REPAIR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE - IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE TRANSMISSION FAILS DURING MY DRIVE TO WORK ON THE INTERSTATE ONE DAY. AND IT'S INFURIATING THAT NISSAN WON'T CORRECT THE ISSUE. I LOVE MY PATHFINDER AND WOULD HAVE BEEN A LIFELONG NISSAN CUSTOMER, BUT YOU BETTER BELIEVE I'LL NEVER SPEND ANOTHER DOLLAR THERE. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILED CAUSING A SUDDEN DECELERATION AND LACK OF A FORWARD MOTION RESULTING IN A NEAR REAR END COLLISION WITH A TRACTOR TRAILER. ONLY AFTER THE EVENT DID I LEARN OF THE ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS IN THE NISSAN MODELS FRONTIER, PATHFINDER AND XTERRA 2005-2010. I AM 15K MILES OUTSIDE OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY POTENTIAL ISSUE WITH SAFETY. I NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE OR ADVICE OF SUCH AN EVENT BEING POSSIBLE. HAD I KNOWN I WOULD HAVE TAKEN PROACTIVE ACTION. NISSAN NEEDS TO EXTEND THIS REPAIR ISSUE THROUGH A RECALL AND REPAIR THE ISSUE AT THEIR ENTIRE COST. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW. THE PUBLIC SAFETY IS AT STAKE! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CONSUMING EXCESSIVE COOLANT AND THE ENGINE WAS EXHIBITING A LOUD RUMBLING SOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,400 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45,162.

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, FOLLOWED BY AIRBAG LIGHT. A DIAGNOSTIC AT THE DEALER SHOWED THE "SENDING UNIT" ON THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT FUNCTIONING AND THE AIRBAG SENSOR WAS ALSO NOT FUNCTIONING. WHEN I GOOGLED IT, I FOUND SEVERAL RECALLS ON THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL (ON YOUR WEBSITE). THE FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM WILL SAY THERE IS 1/4 GAS WHEN IT'S EMPTY OR WILL DROP TO "E" FOR EMPTY WHEN THERE IS STILL GAS IN THE TANK. I NOW HAVE TO USE MY ODOMETER TO GAUGE MY GAS USAGE SINCE I RAN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AT RUSH HOUR A FEW WEEKS AGO. AT THE SAME TIME THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE SENDING UNIT ISSUE, THE RED AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL. SO I'M DRIVING AROUND IN A CAR THAT HAS FAULTY AIRBAG SENSORS AND FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT. THE TWO ISSUES ARE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING THE RECALL NOTICES DESCRIBE, YET IT'S NOT PART OF THE RECALLS? I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH CORPORATE NISSAN VIA EMAIL TWICE NOW AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THESE RECALLS APPLY TO MY VEHICLE/VIN #. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THE VEHICLE (IT WAS PURCHASED VIA AUCTION IN NEW YORK) AND THOUGHT THAT WAS WHY I HAD NOT RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICES. HOWEVER, IT TURNS OUT NISSAN WILL NOT DISCLOSE WHICH VIN NUMBERS WERE PART OF THOSE RECALLS AND REFUSE TO PAY THE REPAIR SERVICES FOR EITHER ISSUE CITING MY VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL NOTICES. THEN WHY IS MY CAR DOING EXACTLY WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL NOTICES? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE PROVIDED AN ERRONEOUS READING OF A FULL FUEL TANK WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY. ADDITIONALLY, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD SPORADICALLY READ THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY WHEN IT WAS FULL. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

OUR NISSAN PROBLEMS STARTED YEARS AGO. IN 2010 I STARTED NOTICING NOISE AND SHUDDERING COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOTHING MORE THAN IT NEEDED A FLUSH OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. SO I PAID THE $150, HAD IT DONE AND WENT ON MY WAY. IN 2011 IS STARTED DOING IT AGAIN, HAD IT CHECKED AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT I MUST HAVE BEEN HEARING THINGS. THEY TEST DROVE IT NUMEROUS TIMES AND 'NEVER HEARD ANYTHING'. EVENTUALLY THEY HAD A SPECIALIST COME AND LOOK AT MY CAR. HE DETERMINED THAT MY A/C UNIT NEEDED TO BE RESET. EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE FINE AND WE WENT ON OUR MERRY WAY. FLASH FORWARD TO JULY 2013. ON THE WAY HOME FROM A ROAD TRIP, ABOUT 3 HOURS FROM OUR HOUSE WE STARTED NOTICING IT WAS GETTING HOT IN THE CAR. SURE ENOUGH THE AIR JUST STARTED BLOWING OUT HOT AIR. EVERYTHING STILL WORKED ON THE A/C, JUST BLOWING HOT AIR. SO WE DROVE HOME SWEATING OUR A$$ OFF IN MID-SUMMER IN FL. A DAY OR 2 LATER WE ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON (1ST TIME EVER IN THIS CAR). HUSBAND THOUGHT HE SHOULD SHUT THE CAR OFF...WELL, THAT WAS THE LAST TIME MY CAR EVER WORKED. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHERE IT SAT THERE FOR 2 WEEKS. FIRST HE DETERMINED IT WAS A BLOWN FUSE - GREAT, $10! - WENT TO PICK IT UP AND IT BLEW AGAIN. HE THEN DETERMINED IT WAS A BROKEN COMPUTER TOLD US TO TOW IT TO NISSAN. WE DID. IT HAS BEEN THERE FOR A WEEK AND WE WERE JUST TOLD THAT THE TRANS & RADIATOR FLUIDS MIXED AND CAUSED TRANS TO SEIZE CAUSING A/C AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES AS WELL. THEY CLAIM THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE...YEA, RIGHT! NISSAN WON'T DO ANYTHING BUT HAS TOLD US TO CALL THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT # AND FILE A COMPLAINT...OH AND THEY'LL GIVE ME $500 FOR A CAR THAT'S WORTH $6,000+. THEY KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT IT IN THE YEARS THAT I BROUGHT UP THE ISSUE. BEWARE OF NISSAN!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION.

TRANSMISSION SLIPS DUE TO RADIATOR FLUID ENTERING TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ROUGH AND DOES NOT LET VEHICLE GET UP TO SPEED. *TR

CAR ABRUPTLY OVERHEATED WHILE DRIVING AND CAME TO NEAR COMPLETE STOP IN TRAFFIC. DIAGNOSED AS ENGINE COOLANT LEAKING FROM DEFECTIVE MADE RADIATOR INTO TRANSMISSION AND TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING INTO RADIATOR CAUSING BOTH SYSTEMS TO FAIL. *TR

VEHICLE STARTS TO JERK, VIBRATE, AND HAS POWER INTERRUPTION DURING ACCELERATION, ON INCLINES AND WHILE TOWING. TRANSMISSION SHOP TOLD ME IT WAS DUE TO BAD COOLANT LINES IN TRANSMISSION AND TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $7000 BY NISSAN DEALERSHIP. *TR

I AM THE ONE OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE WHICH I PURCHASED NEW IN QUINCY, MASSACHUSETTS IN 2008. I BEGAN TO SENSE A CLUNK OR SLIPPAGE IN MY TRANSMISSION ABOUT TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE INCIDENT. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO AN OIL CHANGE PLACE AND HAD MY TRANSMISSION AND DIFFERENTIAL FLUIDS REPLACED. COST $150. ATTENDANT NOTED MAGNETIC PLUG HAD METAL SHAVINGS AND SOME DISCOLORATION IN TRANSMISSION FLUID BUT NOTHING CONCLUSIVE TO WORK ON. APPROX TWO WEEKS LATER WHILE DRIVING UP A GRADE, I EXPERIENCED A SERIOUS "CLUNK" AND IMMEDIATELY PULLED INTO THE NEXT SERVICE STATION I COULD FIND. I WAS 100 MILES FROM HOME. AFTER LEAVING THE CAR FOR DIAGNOSTIC WORK, I WENT ONLINE TO FIND OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS CONCERNING RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSING CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WITH NO WARNING. I CALLED THE MECHANIC TO REPORT WHAT I HAD FOUND AND ASKED HIM TO CHECK THIS CONDITION FIRST. HE REPORTED BACK THAT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED AND I MAY HAVE CAUGHT THE DEFECT IN TIME TO SAVE THE TRANSMISSION. THE MECHANIC WORKED ON THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. COST $1100. I HAVE PUT ABOUT 300 MILES ON THE CAR AS OF THIS WRITING AND I NOW HAVE ONLY AN OCCASIONAL/MINOR "CLUNK." I BELIEVE THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE NISSAN PART AND NOTE THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE FINDING NISSAN UNCOOPERATIVE IN TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT. I HAVE RECEIPTS FOR MY WORK DONE AND WILL PROVIDE THEM IF NEEDED. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER HAS A RADIATOR THAT FAILED CAUSING ENGINE COOLANT TO MIX WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID THUS CAUSING A TOTAL FAILURE OF MY TRANSMISSION. IN RESEARCHING AFTER THE FAILURE I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN PATHFINDERS, FRONTIERS, AND EXTERAS FROM 2005-2008. IT IS TO THE POINT WHERE PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN THE TRANSMISSION LINE OUT OF THE COOLANT SYSTEM LOOP PRIOR TO THE RADIATOR FAILING IN ATTEMPT TO SAVE THE TRANSMISSION FROM THE INEVITABLE FAILURE. THESE RADIATORS NEED TO BE RECALLED TO PREVENT ANOTHER TRANSMISSION FROM TOTAL FAILURE AND THUS PREVENT SERIOUS ACCIDENTS RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH IN THE FUTURE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN! IN MY INSTANCE WHILE DRIVING MY WIFE AND MY 7 DAY OLD FIRST BORN SON TO HIS DOCTORS APPOINTMENT MY NISSAN PATHFINDER BEGAN TO HESITATE AND SLIP, THEN CATCH, AND SLIP, AND LOCK UP, AND JERK, AND THEN ONLY SLIP. I WAS FORCED TO PUSH MY VEHICLE A DISTANCE WHILE VEHICLES PROCEEDED TO PASS ME AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. ALL THE WHILE MY WIFE AND 7 DAY OLD INFANT INSIDE. I THEN NEEDED TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER CALLING THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT IS FAIRLY COMMON AND THEY WERE NOT SURPRISED. 2005-2008 NISSAN PATHFINDERS, EXTERAS, AND FRONTIERS HAVE FAULTY RADIATORS THAT ARE CAUSING CATASTROPHIC FAILURE TO THE TRANSMISSION AND ARE EXTREMELY UNSAFE FOR THE PASSENGERS OF THESE VEHICLES. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE NISSAN ADMITS TO AND FIXES THIS AVOIDABLE PROBLEM?! THIS IS VERY COMMON KNOWLEDGE FOR ALL TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOPS AS WELL AS NISSAN DEALERSHIPS.

IN FEBRUARY OF 2013, MY 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER STARTED VIBRATING AND SHAKING WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED OF 40 MPH. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS ROUGH ROAD BUT IT CONTINUED AND GOT WORSE. THE SUV SLIPS ALOT AND IT JERKS FORWARD EVEN WHEN I BRAKE. IT HAS BECOME SCARY TO DRIVE, BUT IT IS OUR FAMILY'S ONLY CAR. I NEED SOMETHING SAFE TO TRANSPORT MY YOUNG KIDS IN AND THIS DEFINITELY IS NOT A SAFE CAR. I TOOK THE SUV TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS BAD DO TO A FAULTY RADIATOR AND THAT BOTH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT SINCE I WAS BARELY OVER 80K MILES I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $2500. I DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON NISSANS PART AND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE. I BOUGHT THE SUV IN 2010 AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED THAT ALREADY HAD 48K MILES ON IT. I ALSO HAVE A 84 MONTH/100K MILES LIMITED WARRANTY ON THE CAR THAT COVERS THE TRANSMISSION, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER MY TRANSMISSION SINCE MY TRANSMISSION WAS DAMAGED BY NISSAN'S FAULTY RADIATOR. THIS MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL. NISSAN IS THE WORST! *TR

I WAS REMOVING TRASH FROM THE BACK OF MY PATHFINDERS AT THE LOCAL TRANSFER STATION. I TURNED TO GO BACK INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TRASH WHEN I STRUCK THE SIDE OF THE TAIL GATE WHICH HAD CREPT DOWN TO MY EYE LEVEL AND I TURNED INTO IT RESULTING IN LOTS OF BLEEDING AND A TRIP TO THE ER REQUIRING 11 SUTURES ON MY LOWER FOREHEAD JUST ABOVE MY EYE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I'M CONCERNED IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN BUT ALSO COULD HAPPEN TO ONE OF MY CHILDREN. IT DOES SEEM TO BE TEMPERATURE RELATED BUT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED IN THE DESIGN. *TR

THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE WENT OUT. NISSAN STATED IT WOULD COST 1000.00 FOR THE PART AND 500.00 LABOR. I HAVE HAD SO MUCH TROUBLE WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2010. I STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE GAS GAUGE 3 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. IT WAS BURNING OIL AND I HAD TO PAY 380.00 TO FIX THAT. THE TIRE SENSOR HAS BEEN OUT FOR 1 YEAR. NOW THIS ABOUT THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. THIS IS NOT A GOOD CAR. I FEEL I HAVE BEEN SCREWED AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR A CAR THAT I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE FIXED. *TR

YOUR WEBSITE WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO PUT IN THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR AS AFFECTED PARTS. MY VEHICLE WITH 77,000 MILES ON IT HAD A SLIPPING ISSUE WITH MY TRANSMISSION AND WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP, ALONG WITH THE WARRANTY UPGRADE NOTICE PROVIDED BY NISSAN, FOR SERVICE. I NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP OF THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AND OF THE WARRANTY NOTICE, AND THAT I WANTED IT LOOKED AT. THEY CAME BACK TO ME AND VERBALLY STATED THAT THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH MY TRANSMISSION. DEALER DID NOT NOTE IT ON THE WORK ORDER THAT THEY TEST DROVE AND SAID THERE WAS NO ISSUE. NISSAN IS KNOWN TO HAVE RADIATOR PROBLEMS THAT LEAD TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE FOR MY TYPE OF VEHICLE. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OUT RIGHT NOW ABOUT THE ISSUE. NISSAN REFUSED TO DO THE WORK UNLESS I PAID FOR THE $3000 CO-PAY, AND PAID FOR THE TIMING CHAIN SHOES, ANOTHER NISSAN KNOWN ISSUE, ANOTHER $1800. MY VEHICLE IS A 2008 PATHFINDER WITH 92000 MILES ON IT NOW. JUST WANT NISSAN TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT PROPERLY AND REPLACE THE ITEMS REQUIRED AT NO CHARGE TO ME. BOTH OF THE ISSUES COULD LEAD TO A FAILURE AND CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. *TR

WE DONT REMEMBER BEING NOTIFIED OF AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. WE WISH TO COMPLAIN, THAT A COMPANY WE HAD FAITH IN, AND TRUSTED, EXPOSED OUR FAMILY TO SAFETY ISSUES THAT COULD HAVE BEEN TERRIBLE, HAD CIRCUMSTANCES BEEN WORSE, AS SOME HAVE EXPERIENCED. NISSAN SHOULD FIX THEM ALL. *TR

IN OCTOBER 2012, I FILLED MY VEHICLE UP WITH GAS AND THE FUEL GAUGE DID NOT REGISTER A FULL TANK. I DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW MILES AND THE GAS GAUGE INDICATED EMPTY. THE CHECK /SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON EVEN THOUGH I HAD JUST HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN FAIRFIELD, CA. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHARGED ME $139.00 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM!! THEY THEN TOLD ME THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT HAD TO BE REPLACED AND IT WOULD COST AN ADDITIONAL $318.00. I DID NOT HAVE THE ADDITIONAL MONEY TO PERFORM THIS SERVICE. ON 11/19/2012, I DISCOVERED THAT NHTSA HAD HAD ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL, CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V075000 FOR THE 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER AND INDICATED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WAS TO BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. THE DATE OF THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN WAS MARCH 2010. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. ADDITIONALLY, I ALWAYS TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, SO THEY MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES TO TO ADVISE ME OF THIS PROBLEM AND PERFORM THE NECESSARY FIX. SINCE THE DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE ME $318.00, I CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE. CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME THAT MY VEHCILE WAS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY, CITING MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AFTER 75,000 MILES. I COUNTERED WITH THE STATEMENT THAT FIRSTLY, IT WAS A NHTSA RECALL, SECONDLY, THAT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED, AND THIRDLY, HAD I HAD BEEN PROPERLY NOTIFIED IN MARCH 2010, I WOULD HAVE STILL BEEN WITHIN WARRANTY COVERAGE, ALTHOUGH AS A SAFETY RECALL THE SERVICE SHOULD BE PERFORMED FOR FREE. THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO REFER THE MATTER TO REGIONAL. THEY GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER OF 10094748. I CONTACTED NHTSA HOTLINE AND THEY GAVE ME A REFERENCE NUMBER OF 493972. FROM THE NHTSA NOTICE IT APPEARS OVER 80,000 VEHICLES WERE SOLD WHICH WOULD HAVE THIS PROBLEM. BY NOT NOTIFYING THE OWNERS AS NHTSA REQUESTED THEM TO DO, NISSAN WOULD SAVE 80,000 X $318.00 THUS SAVING NISSAN $29,048,040. *TR

2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH ENGINE LIGHT AND FUEL GAUGE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED OVER THE PAST YEAR, EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE. ADDITIONALLY, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT SHOW HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN GAS WAS PUT IN THE VEHICLE, THE TANK DID NOT REGISTER AS FULL. THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN FOR THE SMOG TEST, IT DID NOT PASS, BECAUSE THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR WAS FAULTY. THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED A RECALL WAS ISSUED. HOWEVER, HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED.

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V075000 COVERS A DEFECTIVE FUEL SENDING UNIT/GAUGE ON 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDERS RESULTING IN THE FUEL GAUGE OVERSTATING THE FUEL LEVEL BY 1/4 TANK. I HAVE A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER (VIN# [XXX]) EXPERIENCING THIS EXACT ISSUE WITH THE FUEL GAUGE, YET NISSAN IS CLAIMING MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. IF 1 MANUFACTURING PLANT PRODUCED VEHICLES WITH THIS ISSUE IT STAND TO REASON THAT ANOTHER PLANT USING THE EXACT SAME PARTS WOULD ALSO PRODUCE VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS EVIDENCED BY THE FACT THAT MY VEHICLE FROM ANOTHER MANUFACTURING PLANT DOES INDEED HAVE THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WOULD PROVIDE AN INACCURATE EMPTY READING AFTER REFUELING. THE FAILURE RECURRED SPORADICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE FUEL TANK WAS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF FAILURE HOWEVER NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE APPROXIMATE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

MY CAR STARTED MAKING A JUTTER TYPE SOUND WHEN I WOULD BE GOING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND WOULD CAUSE MY CAR TO RUMBLE LIKE I WAS GOING OVER A RUMBLE STRIP. THE CAR WOULD LOSE ACCELERATION WHEN THIS WOULD HAPPEN. *TR

THOUGHT I WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY TRANSMISSION. TOOK IT TO GET CHECKED. MY RADIATOR LEAKED CAUSING FLUID TO LEAK INTO MY TRANSMISSION. AS A RESULT HAVE TO GET MY TRANSMISSION & RADIATOR REPLACED. COME TO FIND OUT FROM THE REPAIR SHOP. THEY WERE SEEING ALOT OF NISSAN TRUCKS WITH THIS ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN FRO THIS ISSUE. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL & REIMBURSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD PROVIDE INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READINGS.

THE MANUFACTURER DENIED ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: AUXILLARY TANK) DUE TO THE VEHICLE MILEAGE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

MY 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER SUDDENLY STOPPED WHILE DRIVING. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE RADIATOR CRACKED AND FLUID GOT INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THERE WERE NO SIGNS THAT JY CAR WAS HAVING ANY PROBLEM PRIOR TO THIS. BECAUSE MY CAR IS 1000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY THEY REFUSE TO WARRANTY IT EVEN THOUGH THIS IS Q KNOWN PROBLEM. MY CAR IS LEASED AND I CAN NOT TURN IT IN UNTIL I HAVE IT IN WORKING CONDITION. IN ORDER TO FIX IT THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME $9,000. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE ON OUR VEHICLE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY RESULTING IN THE NEED TO CALCULATE MILEAGE OR RISK RUNNING OUT OF GAS. SOMETIMES THE FUEL GAUGE WILL SHOW THAT THE TANK HAS GAS AND SOMETIMES IT SAYS THE TANK IS EMPTY. THERE IS A RECALL ON FUEL GAUGES/SYSTEMS FOR 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDERS, HOWEVER NISSAN HAS REPORTED THAT OUR 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER WAS NOT AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL (BASED ON THE VIN). *TR

I TOOK MY CERTIFIED PATHFINDER IN FOR A FAULTY WINDOW SWITCH AND WHILE IT WAS THERE HAD THEM CHECK THE POWER TRAIN FOR A NOISE I WAS HEARING EVERY INITIAL 1ST TO 2ND GEAR SHIFT AFTER START UP. DEALER NOTIFIED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS CONTAMINATED OR INCORRECT FLUID. I WAS THEN TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO COVER THE COST OF REPLACING THE FLUID. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, AS NOT ONLY IS THE VEHICLE COVERED BY THE NISSAN CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED PROGRAM, BUT I ALSO BOUGHT THEIR SECURITY PLUS WARRANTY. THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE IS NOT DUE FOR ANOTHER 6,000 MILES, AND THE FLUID SHOULD NOT BE CONTAMINATED OR BE THE WRONG COLOR AND HAVE THE VISCOSITY OF WATER, PER THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. THEY ARE NOT EVEN ADVISING A STANDARD TRANSMISSION SERVICE, THEY WANT TO REPLACE ALL THE FLUID, AS WHAT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SYSTEM IS UNUSABLE. NISSAN CPO IS DENYING MY CLAIM TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FIXED, TAKING THE STANCE THAT THEY DO NOT WARRANTY FLUIDS. I AM NOT ASKING THEM TO WARRANTY THE FLUID, STANDARD MAINTENANCE IS MY RESPONSIBILITY. HOWEVER THERE IS AN ISSUES AS TO HOW/WHY THE FLUID GOT CONTAMINATED AND IS NO LONGER USABLE, AND NEEDS TO BE FLUSHED. NISSAN DOES NOT WANT ANY PART IN ADDRESSING THAT ISSUE, EVEN THOUGH THEIR CPO AND SECURITY PLUS WARRANTIES ARE SUPPOSED TO COVER THE ENGINE AND DRIVE TRAIN. AS IT TURNS OUT THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES, APPARENTLY THERE IS AN ISSUES IN THE RADIATOR, WHICH ALSO HAS THE TRANSMISSIONS COOLER BUILD INTO IT, ALLOWING COOLANT TO SEEP INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. KNOWING THIS NISSAN IS STILL TAKING THE STANCE THAT THEY DO NOT WARRANTY FLUIDS AND IS REFUSING TO SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION. THEY ARE BASICALLY ASKING ME TO REPLACE THE FLUID AND HOPE IT DOES NOT GET CONTAMINATED AGAIN AND HOPE NO OTHER ISSUES ARISE FROM A TRANSMISSION OPERATING FOR WHO KNOW HOW LONG WITH BAD FLUID THAT WAS THE INCORRECT VISCOSITY. *TR

APPROXIMATELY 2 MO AGO, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE WITHIN THE FUEL SYSTEM. HE SAID I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM WHICH WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $800 FOR THE PART AND LABOR. HE LOOKED FURTHER INTO THE ISSUE SINCE I TOLD HIM THAT I DON'T ACTUALLY NOTICE A PROBLEM WITH MY FUEL GAUGE. I ALSO DID SOME RESEARCH ON MY OWN AND HAVE DISCOVERED, LIKE HIM, THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME. SOME PEOPLE ACTUALLY DO HAVE ERRORS WITH THEIR FUEL GAUGE AND OTHER DON'T, HOWEVER THE RESULTING ISSUE HAS TO DO WITH A MALFUNCTION OF THE FUEL SYSTEM WHICH IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND THERE IS A RECALL FOR CERTAIN 2006 AND 2008 XTERRA AND PATHFINDER VEHICLES. WHEN I CONTACTED THE NISSAN #800, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR ANY RECALLS---IN SPITE OF THE COMPANY KNOWING ABOUT THE ISSUE, ISSUING A RECALL FOR THE ISSUE ON THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE AND MY EXPERIENCING THAT EXACT ISSUE. MY FAMILY HAS BEEN HIT VERY HARD BY THIS ECONOMY LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. I DO NOT HAVE $800 TO PAY TO HAVE AN ITEM FIXED THAT IS NOT MY FAULT OR NORMAL MAINTENANCE BUT THE FAULT OF THE MANUFACTURING COMPANY. I ALSO HAVE 4 CHILDREN THAT I TRANSPORT USING THIS VEHICLE. I WORRY THAT THERE MIGHT ACTUALLY BE OR THERE WILL BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE FUEL GAUGE AND IN THAT SITUATION, MY CHILDREN AND MYSELF COULD BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT OR STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE. IF THE COMPANY IS AWARE OF AN EXISTING MALFUNCTION IN THEIR VEHICLE AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT, THEY SHOULD COVER ALL NECESSARY COSTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. PERIOD. I HOPE THAT THEY WILL DO WHAT IS RIGHT WITH YOUR HELP. *TR

I BOUGHT THE PATHFINDER BRAND NEW IN 2008. SHORTLY THERE AFTER, WHEN I INSERTED THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION, IT MAKES NO ATTEMPT OF TURNING ON. IT HAS LEFT ME STRANDED ON 7 OCCASIONS THUS FAR. WHEN I PUT THE KEY IN AND TURN IT, IT DOES NOTHING. I BROUGHT IT IN LAST YEAR AND THEY NEVER FOUND WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. THE WARRANTY EXPIRES IN TWO WEEKS AND I DO NOT WANT TO BE LEFT WITH A PROBLEM ONCE THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. LUCKILY IT HAS ONLY LEFT ME STRANDED WITHIN 30 MILES OF HOME, BUT I AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING STRANDED FAR FROM HOME. AFTER A GOOD 30-90 MINUTES, THE CAR WILL EVENTUALLY TURN ON. I HAVE HAD TO GET A RIDE FROM MY PARENTS FROM THE SUPERMARKET, HAD MY HUSBAND LEAVE WORK TO PICK ME UP FROM ANOTHER TOWN, WALKED TO MY PARENT'S HOUSE BECAUSE THE SUV WOULD NOT TURN ON. WHEN I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE SERVICE PEOPLE WHERE I BOUGHT IT, THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT IF THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY CANNOT FIX IT. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO INSERT KEY AND NOT HAVE CAR TURN ON. I AM BRINGING CAR ONCE AGAIN TO DEALER TO SEE IF PROBLEM CAN BE RESOLVED. I WANT THE PROBLEM RESOLVED PRIOR TO THE WARRANTY RUNNING OUT. *TR

HE THOUGHT IT WAS DRIVERS ERROR, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE FRONT SHOCKS; THE REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER TOOK REPORT 6887492; HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE, BECAUSE THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WASN'T DONE AT THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

PATHFINDER VEHICLES. THE MOLDED FUEL TANK SHELLS CAN DEFORM, CAUSING THE FUEL SENDER FLOAT ARM TO CONTACT AN EMBOSSMENT MOLDED INTO THE TANK SHELL CAUSING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE TO SHOW THAT THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY ONE QUARTER TANK WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY. I HAVE STALLED IN TRAFFIC THREE TIMES . THE VEHICLE LOSES ALL CONTROL OF POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES AND CEASES TO MOVE SUDDENLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MYSELF AND OTHER MOTOR VEHICLES. I HAVE RESEARCHES THIS COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. I CALLED NISSAN TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND THEY STATED THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. I FEEL LIKE NISSAN IS STALLING IN FIXING THIS PROBLEM AT A HUGE RISK TO ITS CONSUMER. *TR

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V075000 FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILURE. INCIDENT OUTLINE: I WAS DRIVING ON THE 2 LANE PORTION OF THE TRANS-CANADA HIGHWAY #1 WEST OF CHILLIWACK AND HAD FUELED UP ABOUT TWO HOURS EARLIER. I WATCHED THE FUEL GAUGE, MPG AND DTE READINGS TO ROUGHLY ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF FUEL REMAINING AND THE RANGE TO BE EXPECTED FROM THE REMAINING FUEL, WHEN THE GAUGES WERE ACTUALLY WORKING FOR A BRIEF TIME. THE FUEL GAUGE HAD SEEMINGLY PROPERLY SHOWN THE DTE AND FUEL LEVEL BUT AT +/- 5/8 OF A TANK IT DROPPED TO ZERO AND THE DTE READINGS WENT FLAT LINE. THIS HAS BECOME A USUAL SITUATION WITH THE FUEL GAUGE ISSUE AND MY ESTIMATES WERE THAT I HAD SUFFICIENT FUEL TO REACH THE NEXT GAS STATION PULLOUT FROM THE FREEWAY BUT I WAS TERRIBLY WRONG. I WAS PULLING A TRAILER AND HAD MY WIFE, SON AND HIS FRIEND WITH ME RETURNING FROM A WEEKEND AT OUR CABIN. WE WERE TRAVELING @ +/- 60 MPH IN THE FAST LANE AS THERE WAS SLOWER TRAFFIC IN THE CURB LANE WHEN THE TRUCK?S ENGINE STOPPED, I WAS OUT OF FUEL! I QUICKLY ASSESSED THE OPTIONS, PUT MY RIGHT HAND TURN SIGNAL ON AND STARTING EASING INTO THE CURB LANE DISPLACING THE VEHICLE BESIDE ME. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE TRUCK INTO THE CURB LANE UNDER THE MOMENTUM IT HAD WITHOUT INCIDENT BUT NOT WITHOUT TREMENDOUS STRESS AND 2 NEAR MISSES WITH OTHER VEHICLES. EVENTUALLY I COASTED ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A STOP SAFELY WITHOUT POWER. IT WAS EXTREMELY CLOSE AND A SCENARIO I DO NOT WANT TO SEE PLAYED OUT AGAIN. NISSAN HAS DECLINED THIS REQUEST AND SHOWN MORAL CONTEMPT FOR A PROBLEM THAT I HAVE DEMONSTRATED THROUGH , TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS, IMAGES AND TEXT. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM NISSAN FOR MY 2008 PATHFINDER DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL GAUGE. ON SATURDAY 5/1/2010, I PRESENTED THE VEHICLE TO MAROONE NISSAN IN KENDALL FOR REPAIRS. AFTER 2 HOURS, THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME WITH A RECEIPT INDICATING THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. THERE WAS A STRONG GAS ODOR WHEN I STARTED THE CAR. I ASSUMED THAT THIS WAS PROBABLY NATURAL SINCE THE REPAIRS WERE RELATED TO THE FUEL SYSTEM. HOWEVER, LATER THAT DAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY TIME THAT THIS LIGHT CAME ON SINCE I ACQUIRED THE VEHICLE IN APRIL 2008. I DECIDED THAT ON MONDAY MORNING I WILL RETURN THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN. HOWEVER, ON SUNDAY AROUND MIDDAY, MY SON TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE STATION TO PURCHASE GAS. THE NEXT EVENT THAT HAPPENED WAS ALARMING. ALL THE GAS THAT MY SON ADDED TO THE VEHICLE LEAKED OUT ON THE GROUND. APPARENTLY, THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SOMEHOW MANAGED TO CREATE A HOLE SOMEWHERE IN THE FUEL SYSTEM/GAS TANK. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO NISSAN FOR REPAIRS AND THE REPAIRS ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR ON MONDAY 5/3/2010. THIS SITUATION COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR EVEN DEATH TO MY SON. I DO NOT KNOW WHETHER THE INDIVIDUAL WHO PERFORMED THE REPAIRS WAS A NISSAN TRAINED AND CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN OR NOT. HOWEVER, IT IS WORTHY OF NOTE THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS DEFICIENCY IN EXISTENCE AT THE NISSAN LOCATION. IT IS MY HOPE AND EXPECTATION THAT AN INVESTIGATION BE MADE INTO THE TYPE AND QUALIFICATIONS OF THE SERVICE PERSONNEL AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR AND THEIR BUSINESS PRACTICES AT THIS LOCATION. I AM CONVINCED THAT THESE INDIVIDUALS WERE FULLY AWARE THAT THEY WERE RETURNING TO ME A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE THAT COULD HAVE HAD CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES. I SHOULD ALSO NOTE THAT I HAVE BEEN VERY DISSATISFIED WITH PREVIOUS SERVICE JOBS AT THIS LOCATION, AND HAVE ALWAYS ELECTED TO DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 30MILES TO THE PEMBROKE LOCATION ALTHOUGH THE KENDALL BRANCH IN ONLY ABOUT 6 MILES FROM HOME. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER IN EARLY JANUARY 2009. EARLY FEBRUARY 2009 MY FRIEND SAT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING THAT IT WAS NOT ON. SHE IS AT LEAST 5 FEET 8 INCHES AND 135 POUNDS. I AM ALSO THE SAME HEIGHT AND WEIGHT AND IT DIDN'T WORK FOR ME WHEN I SAT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AS WELL. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME SOMEONE LIGHTER THAN 160LBS SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND IF THE PERSON IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WASN'T SITTING IN SUCH A WAY TO TOUCH THE SENSOR, THEN IT WOULD NOT WORK. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT IT IS OPERATING PROPERLY ACCORDING TO NISSAN STANDARDS. SO IF I OR MY PASSENGER ARE NOT SITTING IN THE SEAT IN SUCH A WAY TO SET OFF THE SENSOR, THEN WE AREN'T PROTECTED. IT WASN'T AS IF WE WERE SITTING ON OUR KNEES OR IN SOME WEIRD POSITION. WE WERE SITTING AS WE WOULD IN ANY VEHICLE. I ALSO BROUGHT UP THAT IN AN ACCIDENT, WHEN THE CAR IS BEING JOSTLED AROUND, THAT CONTROLLING HOW WE SIT IN THE SEAT IS THE LAST THING ON OUR MIND AND WE WOULDN'T GET THE BENEFIT OF AN AIRBAG? I ALSO BROUGHT UP THAT THE DRIVER AIRBAG LIGHT DOES NOT GO ON AND I AM THE ONE WHO USUALLY DRIVES IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE DRIVER AIRBAG ALWAYS STAYS ON BECAUSE IT IS THE DRIVER. NISSAN HAS NOT GIVEN ME ANY RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
