2007 Nissan Pathfinder

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 THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH. THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL, BUT THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED A READING INDICATING THAT FUEL WAS PRESENT IN THE TANK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FUEL GAUGE HAD SINCE CONSTANTLY DISPLAYED INCORRECT READINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WAS INCORRECTLY DISPLAYING THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY FULL WITH FUEL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR IN THE FUEL TANK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CURRENT AND THE FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 95,500.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON THE CAR. ALSO, THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM HAS BECOME A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD IN THE CAR. THE PATHFINDER'S GASOLINE GAUGE INDICATES THAT IT IS HALF FULL, BUT SUDDENLY THE YELLOW LIGHT COMES ON TO INDICATE THE CAR IS EMPTY. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THERE ARE TIMES WHERE A GAS STATION MAY NOT BE EASILY ACCESSIBLE. *TR

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE MADE A WHINING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT LOCATED THE FAILURE WITHIN THE TIMING CHAIN. THE MANUFACTURER DENIED ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

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
