1995 Nissan Pathfinder

WE OWN A 95 NISSAN PATHFINDER.LAST WEEK THE REAR FRAME AND REAR STABILIZERS BROKE IN 2.TRUCK CANT BE DRIVEN,AS WHEN THAT HAPPENED IT PULLED AND SEVERED THE REAR BRAKE LINES.THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT ON THESE. TOYOTA HAS A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THEIR FRAMES ON THEIR TACOMA TRUCKS.THEY HAVE A RECALL ON THEM,TO GET THEM OFF THE ROAD. NISSAN NEEDS TO DO THE SAME,IMO,BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED..THEIR ARE MANY STORIES ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET. JUST GOOGLE NISSAN PATHFINDER FRAME RAILS FOR MORE. THANKS. *TR

VEHICLES STEEL FRAME COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING IT TO SEVER. OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING. THE HANGING METAL PARTS THEN SEVERED MY BRAKE LINE CAUSING LEAK, ENDANGERING MY SAFETY. THIS DAMAGE IS NOT DUE TO OWNER NEGLIGENCE. NEARLY ALL OWNERS OF 1995NISSANPATHFINDERS EXPERIENCE SIMILAR ISSUE. NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. THIS PROBLEM ENDANGERS THE DRIVER AND MAY BE FATAL. A RECALL SHOULD BE PUT IN PLACE. THE VEHICLE RUNS FINE BUT IS IMMOBILE DUE TO FAULTY AND CORRODED FRAME. *TR

THIS CAR CANNOT GO OVER 80 MPH. WHEN DRIVING HIGH SPEED ON "OPEN" ROAD, CAR STARTS TO VIBRATE WILDLY. ALSO, JUST HEARD POP AND HAD CAR AT MECHANICS IMMEDIATELY. CHECKED AND FOUND DRIVER'S SIDE STRUT ROD WAS BROKEN. REPLACED THIS STRUT 204,000 MILES. OWNER OF THIS CAR IS LUCKY TO STILL DRIVE THIS CAR, AS THIS CAR GIVES A REALLY ROCKY, ROUGH RIDE, ESPECIALLY AT ANY SPEED OVER 50 MPH. *TR

I OWN A 1995 NISSAN PATHFINDER THAT WAS PURCHASED IN 1997. SINCE THAT TIME I HAD TO HAVE THE FRAME WELDED 2 TIMES IN ORDER TO PASS INSPECTION AND TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD. THIS WAS DONE BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM WAS NEVER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND I HAD TO ABSORB THE COST ON MY OWN. THIS APPARENTLY IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE BASED ON CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME MODEL OF VEHICLE AND REPAIRMEN WHO DEAL WITH FRAME REPAIRS AND MECHANICS. THIS NOT ONLY IS AN ECONOMIC ISSUE BUT ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF THE FRAMES HAVE CORROSION PROBLEMS THE FRAME CAN COLLAPSE DURING A COLLISION BECAUSE THE STABILITY OF THE FRAME WAS COMPROMISED BY THE CORROSION PROBLEM. RECENTLY, TOYOTA HAS VOLUNTARILY RECALLED 1995 TRUCKS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE COMPELLED TO DO THE SAME. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ALLEGATION BECAUSE I THINK YOU WILL FIND IT VERY CREDIBLE. *TR

WHILE WASHING MY 1995 NISSAN PATHFINDER LE, I NOTICED THAT THE MAIN FRAME RAILS ARE RUSTED OUT. THIS IS IN THE ARCH ABOVE THE REAR AXLE AREA AND IS RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE OF THE BOX SECTION MOVING OUTWARD. THEREFORE, THE DAMAGE IN COMPLETELY INVISIBLE UNTIL IT WORKS ITS WAY THROUGH THE HEAVY METAL OF THE FRAME. THE DAMAGE THAT I CAN EASILY SEE IS ABOUT 10 INCHES LONG AND UP THE WHOLE HEIGHT OF THE RAIL. FEELING WITH MY FINGERS I CAN FEEL RUST ALL ALONG THE INTERIOR. THIS VEHICLE IS A LOCAL VEHICLE IN WICHITA, KANSAS AND HAS NOT EXPERIENCED EXCESSIVE ROAD SALTING. I HAVE BEEN THE OWNER FOR 5 YEARS AND KNOW THE PREVIOUS OWNER. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN STORED UNDER COVER THROUGHOUT ITS ENTIRE LIFE. NIGHT TIME IN A GARAGE AND IN A COVERED PARKING GARAGE DURING WORKING HOURS. THE EXTERIOR PAINT IS LIKE NEW, BUT THE FRAME IS ROTTING OUT. NO CORRECTIONS TO REMEDY THE RUSTED FRAME HAS BEEN CARRIED OUT AS OF YET. *TR
