NISSAN PATHFINDER JUST GOT TO 100,000 MILES WHEN STARTED EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION ISSUES, TURNS OUT THERE WAS A FACTORY WARRANTY THAT I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THAT WOULD HAVE COVERED THE RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION ISSUE. HOWEVER BECAUSE I WAS NOT HAVING AN ISSUE UNTIL THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ENDED NISSAN IS REFUSING TO COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS DESPITE KNOWING ABOUT THIS ENGINEERING FAULT. IT IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING THAT A LARGE COMPANY SUCH AS NISSAN IS ABLE TO SEND A VEHICLE OUT INTO THE PUBLIC WITH KNOWN ENGINEERING FLAWS AND PUT A MILEAGE LIMIT ON REPAIRING THE ISSUE. IT IS SOMETHING THAT WILL INEVITABLY FAIL BUT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME SO IT MIGHT HAVE OCCURRED WITHIN THE LIMIT FOR SOME AND OUTSIDE THE LIMIT FOR OTHERS. IT IS MY HOPE THAT YOU WILL EXPOSE THIS SHADY AND UNSAFE PRACTICE THAT NISSAN HAS GOING AND HELP GET PEOPLE THE REPAIRS THEY DESERVE. *TR

I WANT TO FILE A COMPLAINT BASED ON MY RECENT EXPERIENCES WITH NISSAN. I OWN A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN DECEMBER OF 2005. A FEW YEARS AGO, NISSAN ISSUED A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON A NUMBER OF THEIR VEHICLES INCLUDING THE 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. HOWEVER, THE CAMPAIGN ONLY RECALLED FUEL SENDING UNITS ON 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDERS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN JAN AND MARCH OF 2006. NISSAN THEN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR OTHER 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDERS THAT INCLUDING MY VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE WARRANTY EXTENSION ONLY LASTED ABOUT A YEAR AFTER IT CAME OUT. DURING THAT EXTENDED WARRANTY TIME, MY NISSAN PATHFINDER'S FUEL SENDING UNIT WAS ACTING UP (THIS IS THE DEVICE THAT TELLS YOUR FUEL GAUGE AND TRIP COMPUTER HOW CLOSE YOU ARE TO EMPTY). HOWEVER THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP COULD NOT REPLICATE THE FAULT SO I WAS OUT OF LUCK AS THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD WORK OFF AND ON. OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, THE FUEL GAUGE HAS CONTINUED TO ACT UP AND READ THE WRONG AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. LAST WEEK, THE ISSUE PERSISTED LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET IT TO A DEALER WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE ISSUE WAS WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. HOWEVER, BY THIS TIME, THE WARRANTY HAD LAPSED AND NISSAN HAS BEEN ADAMANT THAT THEY WILL NOT PAY TO REPLACE THE FUEL SENDING UNIT BECAUSE ITS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. MY WIFE AND I BOTH SHARE THE VEHICLE AND TAKE OUR TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I AM BECOMING WARY OF THE VEHICLE'S GAUGE MALFUNCTIONING AND AM CONCERNED ABOUT WHETHER THE GAUGE COULD READ FULL AND THE CAR RUNS OUT OF GAS ON THE FREEWAY AND WE GET HIT BY A SEMI TRACTOR TRAILER AND COULD BE FATALLY INJURED- THE EXACT REASON WHY NISSAN RECALLED THE SENDING UNITS ON OTHER NISSANS. HOWEVER, NISSAN CORPORATE IS ADAMANT THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WILL NOT CAUSE ANY SAFETY CONCERNS- EVEN THEIR WEBSITE SAYS SO-HTTP://WWW.NISSANASSIST.COM/WEB/FUEL-SENDING-UNIT/INDEX.PHP?MENU=2. *TR

I NOTICED A SHUDDER WHEN THE CAR WAS SHIFTING, MY MECHANIC TEST DROVE IT AND SENT ME TO THE TRANSMISSION SHOP. THE GENTLEMAN THERE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. HE ALSO SAID THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR PATHFINDER. HE THOUGHT THAT SINCE THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT NISSAN HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY. I LATER FOUND THAT THE WARRANTY HAD BEEN EXTENDED BUT NOT ENOUGH TO INCLUDE MY TRUCK. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN NISSAN, I HAVE OWNED 4 PATHFINDERS AND SEVERAL OTHER CARS MADE BY NISSAN. I THOUGHT THEY WOULD TAKE BETTER CARE OF LOYAL CUSTOMERS. *TR

NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2006 ARMADA, TITAN, INFINITI QX56 AND MODEL YEAR 2005-2006 FRONTIER, PATHFINDER AND XTERRA VEHICLES. THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (IPDM) ASSEMBLY CONTAINS AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) RELAY THAT HAS A DIODE FOR ELECTRICAL CURRENT NOISE REDUCTION. 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.

THE MOLDED FUEL TANK SHELLS CAN DEFORM, CAUSING THE FUEL SENDER FLOAT ARM TO CONTACT AN EMBOSSMENT MOLDED INTO THE TANK SHELL CAUSING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE TO SHOW THAT THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY ONE QUARTER TANK WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL IN TRAFFIC, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WITH A NEW ONE THAT HAS A MODIFIED FLOAT ARM. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE MARCH 22, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

IF THIS OCCURS, THE CZS MAY INTERNALLY RUST RESULTING IN A SIGNAL INTERRUPTION. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE RED AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE TO ALERT THE VEHICLE OPERATOR.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS ISSUE COULD RESULT IN THE NON-DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT AIR BAGS IN A CRASH, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FRONT CZS WITH A REDESIGNED SENSOR. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 26, 2009. OWNERS IN THE OTHER STATES WILL RECEIVE EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR THE SENSOR TO 10 YEARS.

On February 29, 2012 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) received a letter petitioning the agency to conduct a defect investigation into MY 2005-2010 Nissan Pathfinder, Frontier, and Xterra vehicles [the subject vehicles] for automatic transmission failures related to failed transmission coolers.NHTSA conducted a comprehensive review of data related to this subject. Our report, documenting this review, is available in the document file for this defect petition.It will also be published in the Federal Register. Of the 2,505 referenced complaints, 638 relate to a potential hazard (unable to maintain speed, no motive power, engine stall) and 1,867 concern customer satisfaction issues including, but not limited to, repair cost, vehicle shudder and shake, and engine overheating.Taking into account the allocation of agency resources and priorities and the likelihood that additional investigation would result in a finding that an unreasonable risk to highway safety exists, we conclude that further investigation is not warranted and deny the petition.ODI Complaint ID numbers are referenced on the next page.
