ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
RECEIVED WARRANTY EXTENSION ON MY 2007 PATHFINDER RADIATOR TO 80,000. RADIATOR HAS FAULTY TRANSMISSION COOLER INSIDE WHICH LEAKS INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSING TRANSMISSION FAILURE. WHY NOT A RECALL. CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE AND THEY SAID THEY WILL ONLY FIX THE KNOWN DEFECT AFTER THE FAILURE WHICH OF COURSE LEAVES YOU STRANDED SOMEWHERE. THIS MAKES THE VEHICLE AN UNRELIABLE MODE OF TRANSPORTATION, ESPECIALLY ON LONG TRIPS. VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THIS VEHICLE DUE TO TRANSMISSION COOLER DEFECTS, TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER DEFECT, AND THE FUEL GAUGE INOP DEFECT. THESE ARE ALL MAJOR DEFECTS IN WHICH NISSAN GOT OFF EASY BY WARRANTY EXTENSIONS AND NOT PREVENTATIVE REPAIRS OF KNOWN DEFECTS. *TR

MY 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER'S GAS GAUGE STARTED MALFUNCTIONING IN FEBRUARY 2010. I ACTUALLY WAS TOLD I HAD 1/2 TANK BUT REALIZED IT WAS EMPTY WHEN I RAN OUT OF GAS WITH MY TWO KIDS ON THE HIGHWAY. I CALLED NISSAN USA AND THEY TOLD ME IT HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR CERTAIN YEARS AND MONTHS THE CAR WAS MADE BUT MY MONTH WASN'T COVERED. I CANNOT FORK OVER 500 DOLLARS TO FIX THE GAUGE BUT I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE SO OBVIOUSLY THAT IS NOT SAFE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I LIVE IN OKLAHOMA AND DRIVE DIRT ROADS DAILY. I PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER IN 2007 AND HAVE TWO CANISTERS REPLACED. I WAS NOT TOLD WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN ON DIRT ROADS BECAUSE THE CANISTER CLOGS. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT. MY CONCERN: I HAVE 82,000 MILES ON THE CAR, MY EXTENDED WARRANTY RUNS OUT AT 100,000 MILES. I WILL DRIVE DIRT ROADS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE, I WANT SOME SORT OF GUARANTEE THAT THE NEXT TIME THIS CANISTER FAILS (WHICH CAUSES THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON), THAT THE COST OF REPAIR WILL NOT BE ON ME. I DON'T FEEL THIS IS FAIR. IT SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM. IS THERE ACTUALLY A DESIGN FLAW AND CAN I HAVE SOME SORT OF GUARANTEE THAT NISSAN WILL STAND BEHIND THIS. I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE FAIR TO SELL THE CAR AND PASS THIS PROBLEM ONTO THEM. IT IS VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR. UPDATED IVOQ 10/04/10 *TR
