2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE FIRE THAT WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECT. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING. HIS WIFE FELT A JERKING MOTION WHEN SHE PUSHED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR. HIS WIFE PULLED OVER, WHEN SUDDENLY ANOTHER MOTORIST INFORMED HER THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. ONCE SHE EXITED THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS A LOUD BOOM NOISE, WHICH WAS BELIEVED TO BE THE BATTERY EXPLODING. WITHIN IN SECONDS, THE UNCONTROLLABLE FLAMES LITERALLY ENGULFED THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. AN INVESTIGATOR BELIEVED THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS A FAILURE IN THE TRANSMISSION. *JB

AT 60,000 MILES MY ENGINE, CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILED. NISSAN REPLACED THESE COMPONENTS. SHORTLY AFTER... WINTER 2010-2011 CAR WOULD NOT HEAT WHILE IDLE. HAD COOLANT REPLACED. SUMMER 2011 ACCELERATION POWER ISSUES/SHAKING. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP (NORTH POINT NISSAN IN LITTLE ROCK). REPLACED RECALLED PART (RELAY SWITCH) BUT REFUSED TO EXAMINE POWER/SLIPPAGE/HEATING ISSUES BECAUSE THE DIAGNOSTICS REPORTED I HAD A BAD BATTERY. DID NOT PLACE ONE OF THEIR BATTERIES INTO MY PATHFINDER TO FIND PROBLEM BUT SENT ME ON MY WAY TO GET A NEW BATTERY. ALSO TELLING ME THAT BAD BATTERIES CAUSE CARS TO DO CRAZY THINGS AT O'REILLY'S AUTO STORE THEY TESTED MY NEW BATTERY AND IT TESTED FINE. UNBEKNOWNST TO ME ALL OF THE SIGNS MY CAR WAS EXHIBITING WERE THE TELL TELL SIGNS OF THE RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION DEFECT. I AM STILL UNSURE WHY THEY DID NOT PICK UP THE SYMPTOMS AND PROPERLY DIAGNOSE MY AUTOMOBILE. PROBLEMS PERSISTED... THE NEXT WINTER SAME ISSUE... MORE COOLANT. IN JUNE 2012 MY PATHFINDER WOULD NOT START...DIAGNOSED WITH TRANSMISSION RADIATOR ISSUE THAT THOUSANDS HAVE EXPERIENCED. NISSAN SENT A WARRANTY EXTENSION TO MOST OWNERS OF PATHFINDERS. MY PATHFINDER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS EXTENSION ...???? FOR WHATEVER REASON THEY BELIEVED THIS DEFECT DID NOT APPLY TO CERTAIN BATCHES. HAD NISSAN SENT ME A WARRANTY EXTENSION I WOULD HAVE IMMEDIATELY TAKEN MY CAR TO BE REPAIRED. AS IT STANDS NOW MY PATHFINDER SITS WAITING.. PLEASE HOLD NISSAN ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

I BEGAN TO HAVE TROUBLE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR APPEARED TO STAY IN LOW GEAR. TOOK IT TO NISSAN THEY RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION FOR $5,000! I BOUGHT THIS CAR ON GOOD FAITH KNOWING NISSAN IS A QUALITY PRODUCT AND THIS IS NOW HAPPENING. NISSAN APPARENTLY KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUES WITH A LEAK STARTING IN THE RADIATOR, AND LEAKING FLUIDS INTO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO GO OUT. NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE RADIATOR TILL 80,000 MILES KNOWING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BUT AFTER DOING RESEARCH EVERYONE HAVING THE PROBLEM IS OVER 80,000 MILES! NISSAN WILL NOT DO A RECALL! THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE. I PAID VERY GOOD MONEY FOR THIS CAR, AND NOW HAVE TO SPEND ANOTHER $5,000 TO REPAIR, WITH A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT NISSAN WILL NOT COVER. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN VEHICLE, SINCE THEY DO NOT APPARENTLY CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR

THE ECM RELAY MAY ALLOW SILICON VAPOR TO FORM AND, OVER TIME, THE SILICON EVAPORATES FROM THE DIODE MOLDING WHICH CAUSES SILICON OXIDE TO DEVELOP ON THE ECM RELAY CONTACT DUE TO ARCING.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE ENGINE STALLING INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ECM RELAY INSIDE THE IPDM ASSEMBLY. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 6, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
