2006 Nissan Pathfinder

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V517000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE, COOLING). THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO OPEN RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED TO BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, PENULTIMATE WEEK. I OBSERVED LOUD ENGINE NOISE, VIGOROUS SHAKING AND JERKING AND A RELUCTANCE IN ACCELERATION WHEN I APPLIED GAS PEDAL​. I WAS A LITTLE BEWILDERED AS I HAVE BEEN VERY PUNCTILIOUS WITH THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE OF MY CAR. I GENTLY PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT TO AVERT ANY DANGER ON THE FREEWAY. UPON EXITING THE CAR, I PERCEIVED A PUNGENT BURNING SMELL. AT THIS POINT, I KNEW IT WOULD BE UNSAFE AND PERNICIOUS TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE THROUGH MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND HAD THE CAR TAKEN TO MY MECHANIC. HE CALLED BACK THE FOLLOWING DAY WITH THE MOST DISHEARTENING NEWS. FOR SOME UNCANNY REASON, FLUID FROM THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING INTO AND CONTAMINATING THE TRANSMISSION. HE VEHEMENTLY POINTED OUT THAT HE HAD SEEN QUITE A FEW OF THE SAME OMINOUS PROBLEMS BROUGHT TO HIS SHOP, INVOLVING MOSTLY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDERS. I WAS GIVEN A QUOTE OF ABOUT $4500-$7000 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM A USED CAR DEALER WITH APPROXIMATELY 117,000 MILES. I'M CURRENTLY FINANCING THE CAR AND BECAUSE OF MY STUDENT LOAN AND EXORBITANT FEES, I STILL OWE A LOT ON IT. HONESTLY, I CANNOT​ AFFORD THE REPAIRS AT THIS JUNCTURE. IT IS VERY RAPACIOUS AND IMMORAL OF NISSAN TO ABDICATE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY AND PASS ON THE FINANCIAL BURDEN TO INNOCENT CONSUMERS​. THESE CARS HAD FACTORY DEFECTS AND DESIGN FLAWS THAT NISSAN WAS AWARE OF BUT CHOSE TO IGNORE. I ENJOIN ANYONE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND INDEED CONSCIENTIOUS MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO VOCIFEROUSLY CONDEMN NISSAN'S ACTION AND FORCE A RECALL. THIS IS CORPORATE GREED AT IT'S WORST !!

NISSAN CLASS ACTION SUIT-OIL COOLER SETTLEMENT. TWO DAYS AGO I TOOK MY NISSAN 2006 PATHFINDER INTO MY MECHANIC AFTER HAVING CONTINUED SHIFTING ISSUES WITH IT. HE SAW AN OILY SLUDGE ( TRANSMISSION FLUID) IN THE RADIATOR, DIAGNOSED A RADIATOR LEAK CAUSING FLUID EXCHANGE BETWEEN RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. I LIVE ON A REMOTE ISLAND IN SOUTHEAST ALASKA, SO THERE IS NO ACCESS TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. HIS SHOP COULD NOT FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION SO HAD ME CALL A SHOP OFF-ISLAND. I LEARNED FROM THIS MECHANIC OF REPEAT ISSUES WITH NISSAN'S LEAKY RADIATORS. HE SAID I SHOULD PURSUE CALLING NISSAN FOR COMPENSATION OF SOME KIND. I DID CALL, RECEIVED A CASE NUMBER AND TODAY DURING A CONVERSATION WITH A REGIONAL CONSUMER AFFAIRS AGENT FOR NISSAN, WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT PERTAINING TO THIS VERY ISSUE BUT THAT I MISSED THE FILING DATE AND THEREFORE NISSAN COULD NOT HELP ME. I CALLED NISSAN IN JUNE OF 2016 WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO ACCESS TO ANY NISSAN DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE. I CALLED NISSAN THEN AND RECEIVED A CASE NUMBER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. THERE WAS NEVER ANY MENTION OF THE FLUID EXCHANGE ISSUE THAT COULD BE CAUSING MY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD EXTEND THE FILING DATE FOR COMPENSATION UNDER THIS CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AT THE VERY WORST AND REMOVE THE CO-PAY AMOUNT. THIS IS THEIR FAULT. QUITE HONESTLY THERE SHOULD BE A TOTAL RECALL OF ANYONE OWNING THIS FAULTY RADIATOR. AS I SAID I LIVE ON A REMOTE ISLAND SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES AND A COUPLE OF FERRY BOAT RIDES FROM ANY NISSAN DEALERSHIP, AND NOW HAVE NO OPTIONS BEFORE ME. NISSAN ONLY DISCLOSED THE ISSUE BECAUSE I BROUGHT IT TO THEM, AND THEN OFFERED UP INFORMATION KNOWING THAT I WAS NOT ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE ANY OF THE COMPENSATION. I AM DONE WITH EVER OWNING ANOTHER NISSAN!

FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING LEAVING ME WITHOUT GAS EVEN THOUGH IT SAID I HAD GAS. I WAS DRIVING WHEN CAR SHUT OFF. BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION/RADIATOR PROBLEM AND THE BAD ENGINE SWITCH NISSAN ONLY FIXED MY BAD ENGINE SWITCH. THE FUEL GAUGE HAD MESSED UP BEFORE LAST YEAR (I FILLED IT BUT GAUGE DIDN'T MOVE STILL SHOWED EMPTY). I SEARCHED AND FOUND THERE IS A RECALL BUT MY VEHICLE ISN'T COVERED. NOT SURE WHY BUT I WISH IT WAS BECAUSE IT COULD OF BEEN DEADLY. I THINK THEY NEED TO EXPAND THEIR VIN NUMBERS. THE *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 10-50 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO OPERATE AS INTENDED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED DUE TO CONTAMINATION OF THE TRANSMISSION FROM THE RADIATOR FLUID ACID. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN COMING TO A STOP LIGHT SEVERAL TIMES THE VEHICLE HAS EITHER STALLED COMING TO THE LIGHT WHEN I DEPRESS THE BRAKE OR IT STALLS ONCE I AM SITTING WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE I HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK INTO THE IPDM ECM OR THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR PROBLEM AS STATED IN OTHER COMPLAINTS I WILL DO THAT THIS WEEK. IT HAS STALLED POSSIBLY 6 TO 7 TIMES NOW 2 TIMES EXITING THE HIGHWAY AND COMING TO THE STOP LIGHT AND OTHER TIMES ON CITY STREETS IN TRAFFIC ROLLING AND ATTEMPTED TO STALL OR COMING TO THE LIGHT INSTALLED ONCE I STOPPED OR COMING TO THE LIGHT
