2007 Nissan Pathfinder

CAR WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN REVERSE. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS MY TRANSMISSION FAILING DUE TO DESIGN FLAW THAT ALLOWED RADIATOR COOLING FLUID TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT A COST OR $3,400. THE CAR WARRANTY HAD RUN OUT AND I WAS NOT REIMBURSED BY NISSAN. NISSAN HAS NOT RECOGNIZED THAT THEY HAVE A DESIGN FLAW ISSUE THAT IS COSTING THEIR CAR OWNERS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIRS AS WELL AS RUINING THEIR REPUTATION. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER, NISSAN SENT ME AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE RADIATOR TO 82000 MILES, STATING THAT IT WILL CRACK AND LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING DAMAGE. MY PATHFINDER'S RADIATOR FAILED AT 109000 MILES AND NISSAN TOLD ME THAT I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS BECAUSE IT WAS PAST THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. SO THE RADIATOR COST ME ABOUT $600 AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND COST ME $2500. I COMPLAINED TO NISSAN AND THEY DON'T CARE, I HAVE SEEN ONLINE THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH NISSAN BUT THEY WILL NOT RECALL THE RADIATOR, THEY HAVE HORRIBLE SERVICE. *TR

HAVEN'T FINISHED PAYING OFF MY CAR AND ALREADY THE TRANSMISSION OF MY NISSAN PATHFINDER 2007 IS FAILING. THE RADIATOR SPILLED THE COOLING LIQUID INTO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH THEN PROCEEDED TO CAUSE SERIOUS PROBLEMS TO THE TRANSMISSION. THE GUARANTY EXPIRED AFTER 100 000 MILES, EVEN THOUGH PRIOR TO THAT THE MILEAGE THE GUARANTY STILL APPLIED. NOW, IN ORDER TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION, OR REPLACE IT FOR A NEW ONE, WILL COST ME OVER $5000USD. I'D LIKE TO UNITE TO THE EXISTING COMPLAINTS/LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN ON THE MATTER OF THE FAULTS FOUND IN THE 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER, AS I FEEL THAT IS UNFAIR THAT THE COMPANY WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF FAULT IN ITS PRODUCT HAS NOT WARNED THE PUBLIC AND HAS PROCEEDED TO SELL THE PRODUCT TO THE PUBLIC, LEAVING US WITH A FAULTY MACHINE THAT IN THE END IS MORE EXPENSIVE, AND NOT A SATISFACTORY PRODUCT. I AM HOPEFUL THAT THE COMPANY WILL RESPONSE TO ALL OF OUR COMPLAINTS, STEPPING FORWARD AND TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE THEY HAVE CAUSED, AND HOPEFULLY TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THE EXPENSES THAT DUE TO THEIR LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY, HAVE BEEN INCURRED ON TO US, THE CONSUMERS. *TR

IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY AWARE, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY PROBLEMS CONCERNING THIS VEHICLE, WHICH ARE ALMOST ALL SIMILAR TO EACH OTHER. PERSONALLY I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WHICH RANGE FROM: ROUGH ENGINE VIBRATION AT 40MPH, AND 60MPH, THERMOMETER SPIKES WHEN ACCELERATOR IS ENGAGED AT 2500+ RPM, VIOLENT JERKING OF CAR, LOUD ENGINE FAN, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY LOSS OF FORWARD ACCELERATION WHEN ACTIVELY PRESSING ON GAS PEDAL. I BROUGHT THIS TO A NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE THIS DIAGNOSED AND THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THAT MY INITIAL WORRIES WERE CORRECT. A DEFECT DURING MANUFACTURING OF THIS VEHICLE HAS CAUSED RADIATOR COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION OR VICE-VERSA CAUSING THE DETERIORATION OF BOTH SYSTEMS. THIS IN TURN CORRELATES TO ENGINE OVERHEATING AND MANY OTHER PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ALSO THE HOUSING OF THE TIMING CHAIN IS NON-EXISTENT. THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSIS AND PRICE QUOTE FOR REPAIRS NEARS THE $10,000 MARK.A PRICE WHICH IS ALMOST HALF OF WHAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FOR. AS OF YESTERDAY 3/17/12 MY VEHICLE HAS LOST ACCELERATION POWER. *TR

THIS EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. I AM A MOTHER AND DRIVE TO ALL OF THE ACTIVITIES EVERYDAY WHICH ADDS IMMENSE STRESS ON ME EVERYDAY KNOWING THAT ANY SECOND MY CAR WILL BREAK DOWN LEAVING US STRANDED. I BOUGHT MY PATHFINDER USED FROM THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND HAVE BARELY OWNED IT FOR 2 YEARS. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER IT WAS RUNNING AT 40MPH AND WOULD NOT LET ME ACCELERATE AND MAKING CRAZY GRINDING NOISES AS THOUGH I WERE RIDING ON THE ROAD SHOULDER. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT IT WASN'T A PROBLEM WITH MY TRANSMISSION BUT MY RADIATOR LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION WHICH AS A RESULT RUINED THE TRANSMISSION. HAVING DONE RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE I HAVE READ THAT IT IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE MODELS AND THAT NISSAN CORPORATE IS WELL AWARE OF AND REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS A GREAT BIG SAFETY ISSUE IMPOSED ON MY FAMILY AND I AM TERRIFIED TO EVEN DRIVE. I AM UPSIDE DOWN ON MY VEHICLE AND CANNOT TRADE IT IN ON A NEW VEHICLE AND AM LEFT WITH MY HANDS TIED. I AM JOINING THE OTHER MILLIONS OUT THERE FILING A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST NISSAN IN THE HOPES OF RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATED 45-55 MPH, THE VEHICLE GAVE A HARD SURGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED, WHICH LOCATED AS THE RADIATOR FLUID CONTAMINATING THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

I HAVEN'T FINISHED PAYING OFF MY CAR AND ALREADY THE TRANSMISSION OF MY NISSAN PATHFINDER 2007 XL IS FAILING. THE RADIATOR SPILLED THE COOLING LIQUID INTO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH THEN PROCEEDED TO CAUSE SERIOUS PROBLEMS TO THE TRANSMISSION. THE GUARANTY EXPIRED AFTER 100 000 MILES, EVEN THOUGH PRIOR TO THAT THE MILEAGE THE GUARANTY STILL APPLIED. NOW, IN ORDER TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION, OR REPLACE IT FOR A NEW ONE, WILL COST ME OVER $5000USD. I'D LIKE TO UNITE TO THE EXISTING COMPLAINTS/LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN ON THE MATTER OF THE FAULTS FOUND IN THE 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER, AS I FEEL THAT IS UNFAIR THAT THE COMPANY WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF FAULT IN ITS PRODUCT HAS NOT WARNED THE PUBLIC AND HAS PROCEEDED TO SELL THE PRODUCT TO THE PUBLIC, LEAVING US WITH A FAULTY MACHINE THAT IN THE END IS MORE EXPENSIVE, AND NOT A SATISFACTORY PRODUCT. I AM HOPEFUL THAT THE COMPANY WILL RESPONSE TO ALL OF OUR COMPLAINTS, STEPPING FORWARD AND TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE THEY HAVE CAUSED, AND HOPEFULLY TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THE EXPENSES THAT DUE TO THEIR LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY, HAVE BEEN INCURRED ON TO US, THE CONSUMERS. *TR

TRANSMISSION HAD BEGUN TO SLIP WHILE TRANSITIONING TO AND FROM GEARS(NO MATTER THE SPEED).WHEN PUTTING VEHICLE INTO GEAR THERE WOULD BE THIS HORRIBLE "JERK", AS IF THE TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE WERE ABOUT TO FALL OUT!!! VEHICLE WOULD NOT WARM UP WHILE IN PARK. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF IT WOULD ONLY START BACK UP IF THE "ECU FUSE" WERE REPLACED. TOOK VEHICLE TO TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST AND HE STATED THAT THE RADIATOR HAD BEEN LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION!! THIS ISSUE IS NOW SUBJECT TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES!!! HIS RECOMMENDATIONS, A NEW OR REBUILT TRANSMISSION. I HAVE READ REVIEWS WERE SOMEONE HAS EVEN HAD THEIR TRANSMISSIN REPLACED ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES OR SIMILAR IN NATURE. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IS NOT UTILIZING AN APPROPRIATE RECALL. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER (120,000 ,MILES) THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION, I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AT ALL. AFTER A VERY FRIGHTENING COUPLE OF MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE THROUGH AND COAST DOWN A SMALL INCLINE TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. AFTER THREEDAYS OUR LOCAL MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO FIX THE CAR, AS HE CONCLUDED THAT THE ECM HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP, WHO AGREED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE ECM ($1014 REPAIR). AFTER THREE MORE DAYS, THEY'VE NOW TOLD US THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE ECM, BUT THE FACT THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID HAS LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION, DESTROYING IT. THEY ARE QUOTING A REPAIR COST OF $7500. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR OVER A WEEK (RENTING A CAR BECAME COST PROHIBITIVE), AND NOW WILL SPEND THE MORNING TRYING TO FIND A MORE COST EFFECTIVE WAY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. I'VE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE OF WHICH NISSAN IS COMPLETELY AWARE. THE COOLANT LEAK/TRANSMISSION FAILURE IS IN FACT A DESIGN DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. IT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT NISSAN HAS NOT RECALLED THESE VEHICLES, OR AT THE VERY LEAST MADE THE REPAIR FREE FOR CONSUMERS REGARDLESS OF VEHICLE MILEAGE. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE. *TR

RADIATOR LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING TRANSMISSION DAMAGE, REQUIRING A NEW RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. NISSAN KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE AND HAS NOT NOTIFIED CUSTOMERS TO FIX THIS PRIOR TO THE PART FAILING TO PREVENT MAJOR DAMAGE. THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 85K MILES FOR THAT PART, BUT IT NEEDS TO FAIL FOR THEM TO COVER THE REPAIR. I COULD HAVE REPLACED THE PART FOR AROUND $400 PREVENTING THE DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION, IF NISSAN WOULD HAVE TOLD ITS CUSTOMERS. NOW I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FOR $4000 AND RENT A CAR FOR ONE MONTH AT $800. THE DAMAGE OCCURRED WHEN I WAS DRIVING. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. IT TOOK SO LONG TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION. *TR
