2007 Nissan Pathfinder

I STARTED HAVING A SUDDEN JERKING IN MY 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I TOOK IT INTO A NISSAN DEALER THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILURE WITH THE RADIATOR INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY WHICH ALLOWED LEAKING COOLANT INTO MY TRANSMISSION FLUID CAUSING BOTH RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE DEALER NOW STATES THAT I NEED TO REPLACE BOTH ITEMS OR TRADE IT IN. .... COME ON NISSAN YOU HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM. WE NEED A RECALL....... *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MAKE A RUMBLING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO REPLACED THE UNIVERSAL JOINT. TWO DAYS LATER THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A HOSE THAT MALFUNCTION MIXING FLUIDS COMING FROM BOTH. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 104,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A THUD AND LOST POWER, HAD TO GO OVER 2 LANES WITHOUT BEING HIT.... I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THE MECHANIC NEW EXCACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEMS WAS. RADIOTOR FLUID GETTING INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING IT TO FAIL... HUNDREDS OF NISSAN PATHFINDER OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. TELL NISSAN TO RECALL THIS NOW BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.. SHOULDNT HAVE TO PAY $8000 FOR NISSANS CRAPPY WORK.. *TR

NISSAN HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THIS ISSUE (TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR} AND WHEN I CONTACTED THEM THEY SAID IT HAD TO BE CHECKED BY A NISSAN DEALER. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED 250 MILES AWAY TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AT MY OWN EXPENSE, WAIT 2 AND A HALF WEEKS FOR THEM TO TELL ME BECAUSE I BOUGHT IT USED (NOT NEW} THEY DECIDED THAT THEY CAN NOT COVER IT UNDER THE WARRANTY. SO A USED VEHICLE HAS NO WARRANTY? NOW I HAVE TO PAY THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE IT TOWED BACK AT MY EXPENSE ANOTHER $375, THIS IS WRONG ON ALL LEVELS AND SHOULD BE COVERED THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE LIKE THIS. THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE VEHICLE'S LOSING POWER IN TRAFFIC, ON THE HIGHWAYS AND HOW THEY BARELY AVOIDED GETTING INTO MAJOR ACCIDENT'S. I KNOW THAT THE NEW YORK TIMES HAS DONE UP AN ARTICLE ABOUT THIS AND I THINK IF WE CAN BAIL OUT THE AUTO INDUSTRY EVEN THOUGH NISSAN DID NOT TAKE A BAIL OUT WE SHOULD MAKE THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR DEFECTS OR DO WE HAVE TO WAIT TILL SOMEONE DIES BECAUSE OF THESE DEFECTS BEFORE SOMEONE MAKES THEM ACCOUNTABLE. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS PATHFINDER, FIRST GM BURNED ME VERY BADLY AND NOW NISSAN. PLEASE PLEASE.... SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. "PLEADING FOR YOUR HELP" THANK YOU *TR

MY PATHFINDER WAS SHOULD HAVE BEEN SLOWING FROM THE SPEED OF AS I WAS BRAKING AND LETTING OFF THE GAS, BUT IT KEPT MOVING FORWARD AND SHAKING. IF THERE WAS A CAR IN FRONT OF ME I WOULD HAVE HIT THEM HARD. MY TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT DOWN TO SLOW DOWN, DUE TO RADIATOR LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION. THE COST OF MY REPAIR OF BOTH RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION IS OVER $5000. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING MY 8TH GRADE SON AND HIS BASKETBALL TEAM TO MIDDLE SCHOOL GAME. SHE WAS ON THE FREEWAY GOING 65 MPH, WHEN SHE FELT THE CAR JERK AND THEN START TO LOSE SPEED, THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT THE CAR HAD SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR. SHE HAD NO POWER AND LUCKILY SHE HAD ROOM TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO RADIATOR FLUID IN THE TRANSMISSION. WE REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND COOLANT LINES AND FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION, AND IT RAN FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS. BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON LAST MONTH, WE TOOK IT IN AND NOW THEY TELL US THAT WE HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN PATHFINDER, FRONTIER AND XTERRA. IT SEEMS TO BE MORE AND MORE OF A COMMON ISSUE WITH NISSAN OWNERS AND NISSAN IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO REPAIR THIS VERY SERIOUS AND COSTLY PROBLEM. I JUST GOT AN ESTIMATE ON TUESDAY (9/4/12) FOR $9459.00 WORTH OF REPAIRS TO THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW FROM NISSAN, AND IT NOW HAS 110,502 MILES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY HUSBAND AND I EXPERIENCED LOSS OF POWER AND HAD TO PULL ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE WERE TOWED FROM THERE TO THE MECHANIC WHO EXPLAINED TO US THAT THE INTERNAL RADIATOR HAD LEAKED FLUID INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING FAILURE TO BOTH. SINCE OUR WARRANTY WAS OUTDATED WE ARE NOW OUT 6000$ AND ARE STRUGGLING TO FIX THIS. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AND DISAPPOINTED IN THE VEHICLE. WE HAD OUR CHILDREN WITH AND I AM VERY GLAD THAT WE WERE NOT AT A BUSY INTERSECTION OR INTERSTATE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER SE, I ENCOUNTERED A HESITATION OF TRANSMISSION FUNCTIONALITY WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ACROSS TWO LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. AS I PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE THROUGH THE LEFT TURN, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO SLIP AND WOULD NOT GET OUT OF FIRST GEAR. SUBSEQUENTLY, MY SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. THE NEXT DAY, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL AUTOEXPRESS TO HAVE THE ODB-II CODE RETRIEVED, I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT READ IT AS IT WAS A DEALER SPECIFIC CODE. I LEFT AND WENT RIGHT TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT A PART OF THE RADIATOR HAD BROKEN AND THE CAR WAS NOW MIXING ANTIFREEZE WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID. THEY INFORMED ME THAT BOTH THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $9200.00, THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT I CALL NISSAN AS I WAS JUST 2000 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY. AFTER COUNTLESS CALLS TO THE CALL CENTER IN THE PHILLIPINES AND THE REGIONAL OFFICE IN OHIO, I WAS BASICALLY TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME, THEY STATED THAT BECAUSE THERE WERE NO RECORDS OF MAINTENANCE BEING DONE AT THE SELLING DEALERSHIP, I WAS OUT OF LUCK. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND IT IS A FULLY LOADED MODEL. THE PLAN WAS TO DRIVE THIS TO THE 200K MILES THAT NISSAN HAS BEEN PITCHED TO COMMONLY ACHIEVE. INSTEAD, I HAVE A CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY THAT I CANT DRIVE, I STILL OWE $4700 ON IT, AND IT WILL COST ME $9L JUST TO MAKE IT USEFUL AGAIN. NISSAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. IT WILL NOT BE UNTIL SOMEONE DIES THAT ANY RECALL ACTION WILL HAPPEN. NISSAN HAS CHASED AWAY A LIFE-LONG LOYAL CUSTOMER. *TR
