2005 Nissan Pathfinder

THIS IS A ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) ISSUE. MY 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER IS STALLING AT LOW ENGINE SPEEDS, RED LIGHTS, DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 65K MILES AND HAS HAD FOUR (4) ECM REPLACED. MY LAST ONE WENT BAD THREE HOURS AFTER DRIVING OUT OF A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE I SPENT $1300 TO REPLACE IT. NISSAN REFUSES TO PAY FOR IT STATING THEY ALREADY REPLACED ONE VIA RECALL AND "THINGS FAIL". *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN TO THE TITLE DEPARTMENT THE DAY AFTER I PURCHASED MY NEWEST VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED I WAS HIT WITH THE SAD REALITY OF AN UNTRUE MAN SELLING ME HIS PROBLEM MY TRANSMISSION HAS ANTIFREEZE IN THE FLUID IT WILL DRIVE FINE UNTIL IT HEATS UP AND THE FLUID GETS TO THE TRANSMISSION IT IS NOT SAFE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL THEY NO IT'S A PROBLEM AND ALSO MY SEATBELT LIGHT FOR PASSENGER SEAT EVEN WHEN SOMEONE SIT IN THAT SEAT THE SENSOR DOES NOT WORK. *TR

I TOOK MY PATHFINDER INTO A LOCAL SHOP BECAUSE I STARTED HEARING NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AT AROUND 45 MPH. I WAS INFORMED ANTIFREEZE GOT INTO MY TRANSMISSION FLUID DUE TO A RADIATOR FAILURE. THE SHOP REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND FLUSHED THE TRANNY. OVER A $600 BILL. THE SHOP HOPED IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM WITHOUT REBUILDING OR REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. NO LUCK!! NOW I AM LOOKING AT ANOTHER $4000 PLUS ON SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED. I WAS TOLD BY MANY SHOPS INCLUDING THE LOCAL DEALER THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. IF PROACTIVE BY THE MANUFACTURE COULD HAVE BEEN FIXED WITH REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR. INSTEAD, NISSAN DECIDED TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY. NEVER INFORMING CUSTOMERS TO HAVE INSPECTED FOR PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE RADIATOR OR TRANNY. *TR

ON 03/5/15 I TOOK MY TRUCK IN TO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE. WAS TOLD THAT THE RADIATOR COOLANT WAS GETTING INTO TRANSMISSION WHICH WAS CAUSING A LEAK IN MY TRUCK. I WAS ASKED IF I SAW ANY LEAKS IN MY DRIVEWAY WHICH I DID NOT. I WAS SHOWN THE RADIATOR COVER WHICH HAD WHITE FOAM ON IT. I DID NOT HAVE $6000.00 TO FIX MY TRUCK. I WAS TOLD IN ABOUT A MONTH THE TRANSMISSION WOULD CAUSE PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO TOLD THEIR WAS A RECALL WHICH I HAD PASSED THE MILEAGE POINT. I WAS GIVEN THE NUMBER TO CONTACT CORPORATE WHICH I DID. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD INVESTIGATE. NOW MY TRUCK IS DEALER KEPT. THEY SAW WERE I WAS AT THE DEALER UP NORTH AND DID A FULL DIAGNOSTIC AND NUMEROUS REPAIRS ON 03/3/14, 3/4/14, 3/10/14, 4/22/14 & 5/5/14. I RECEIVED A CALL BACK FROM CORPORATE WITHIN TWO DAY INFORMING ME THAT THEIR WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. I DID NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK FROM THAT DAY. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT FOR A SECOND OPINION SO ON 03/10/15 ON MY WAY TO A SERVICE STATION MY TRUCK STARTED TO OVER HEAT ON THE HIGHWAY AND SMOKING. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE MECHANIC AND THAT IS WERE THE TRUCK IS TO THIS DAY. IF NISSAN KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM WHY DID THEY NOT NOTIFY CONSUMERS SO THAT WE COULD HAVE A MECHANIC DO A BYPASS BEFORE THIS OCCUR. IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO ALOT OF CONSUMERS AFTER THE CUT OFF OF THE CAUSING THE SHORT CIRCUIT, TRANSMISSION COMPUTER IS INSIDE 100,000 MILEAGE. THE LAWSUIT ONLY COVERED UP TO 100,000? WHAT ABOUT THE CONSUMERS THAT THIS AFFECT AFTER THAT MILEAGES MARKER. THIS IS SO UNFAIR TO THE CONSUMER? MY TRUCK WAS AT THE DEALER ON A REGULAR BASIS. I SEE ONLINE WERE CONSUMERS THAT WERE NOT AFFECTED HAD TOOK IT INTO THEIR OWN HANDS TO HAVE THE WIRING RE-ROUTED TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM. I LIVE IN A STATE WERE I NEED A VEHICLE TO GET AROUND. THIS IS A MAJOR DEFAULT OF NISSAN AND A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MORE COMPLAINTS THAN THEY THEMSELVES CAN COUNT. *TR

ME AND MY 6 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER WERE GOING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN MY CAR LOST ALL POWER AND WAS LIKE IT HAD BEEN SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. MY BRAKES WEREN'T WORKING PROPERLY BUT I GOT US OFF THE ROAD AND HAD THE CAR TOWED. AFTER OUR REPAIR GUY CHECKED ALL THE WIRING AND RAN TEST AND PULLED THE TRANSMISSION PAN OFF THE RADIATOR COOLANT HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION FULL RESULTING IN THE GEARS MESSING UP AND THE ENTIRE CAR UNDRIVEABLE. WE KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAD CONTACTED NISSAN 6 MONTHS PRIOR TO CHECK THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN FIXED....OBVIOUSLY NOT. IF IT HAD BEEN FIXED IT WASN'T FIXED PROPERLY OR IT WOULD NOT HAVE FAILED AGAIN MANY TRIPS HAVE BEEN TAKEN SINCE THEN AND NOW WE ARE OVER 100,000 MILES AND IT'S A $3800 FIX BECAUSE NISSAN EITHER LIED AND IT WAS NEVER FIXED TO START WITH OR DIDN'T CORRECTLY FIX IT THE FIRST TIME. *TR

RADIATOR COOLANT GETTING INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE SHORT CIRCUIT, TRANSMISSION COMPUTER IS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION WHICH DESTROYS THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING REPLACEMENT, RADIATOR REPLACEMENT, THERMOSTAT AND COMPUTER SENSORS REPLACEMENT. COST FOR REPLACEMENT IN THIS PATHFINDER APPROX. $5,500 - $6,000 AND THE REMAINING LOAN ON THE PATHFINDER IS ALMOST THE SAME AMOUNT! ACCORDING TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THIS IS A MAJOR DEFAULT OF NISSAN AND A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MORE COMPLAINTS THAN THEY THEMSELVES CAN COUNT. THIS PATHFINDER BELONGS TO AN 83 YEAR OLD MAN WHO USES THIS TRANSPORTATION TO TRAVEL WITH HIS 80 YEAR OLD WIFE TO AND FROM 90% MEDICAL USE, NOW HE CAN NOT AFFORD TO HAVE THE REPAIRS AND TO NO FAULT OF HIS AND DUE TO NISSAN'S DEFAULT AND WILL NOT AGREE TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THE PATHFINDER CAN NO LONGER BE USED AND THE LOAN PAYMENTS ARE STILL COMING IN. *TR

I BEGAN TO HEAR A NOISE AND HESITATION IN GEAR CHANGE. TOLD TIRES BUT CONTINUE TO HEAR. HAD A OIL CHANGE AT TWIN CITY NISSAN. REP ADVICE COOLANT IN TRANSMISSION WOULD CHARGE $3000 TO REPAIR AND WARRANTY ON RADIATOR EXPIRES SOON. RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION AND FLUIDS FLUSHED FOR $3000 COST TO ME. CONTACT 1800 NISSAN 1 AND TOLD OVER 368 COMPLAINTS ITS MANUFACTURING DEFECT HE ADVICE CAN'T. HELP. *TR
