ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.
I PURCHASED AN 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER IN 2003 AND THE BOSE RADIO W/ 6 CD CLARION PLAYER. "ERR 2" CODED 3-MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED IT. I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, IT WAS REPLACED WITH A REFURBISHED SYSTEM OF THE SAME. IT IS 8/08 AND THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN AGAIN, AND NOT COVERED. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT THIS VEHICLE COULD GO THROUGH 2 RADIOS IN ONLY 63,000 MILES?? RIDICULOUS!!! NISSAN WILL NOT STAND BY THE CHEAP PARTS USED BY CLARION IN THE RADIO (AS RESEARCHED ON THE NET). I ALSO HAVE AN ECM PROBLEM, NISSAN SAYS IT NEEDS TO BE UPGRADED, BUT WILL NOT PAY FOR IT. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON CODING THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THEY TOLD ME NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CONVERTER, JUST AN ERROR WITH THE SOFTWARE IN THE ECM. SO NOW I WON'T KNOW IF THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT IS ON FOR SOME THING SERIOUS OR IT IS JUST THE CONVERTER WRONGLY CODING. *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR
REAR SUSPENSION SWAYS VIOLENTLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHEN DRIVING OVER 50 MILES PER HOUR, ESPECIALLY WHEN CRUISE CONTROL IS USED. SEVERAL MECHANICS COULD NOT DIAGNOSE PROBLEM SO IT HAS CONTINUED TO GET WORSE OVER PAST 2 YEARS. NOW, THROUGH INTERNET, LEARN THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL, REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF BUSHINGS AND IS KNOWN TO THE MANUFACTURER WHO HAS TAKEN NO ACTION. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
THE ENTIRE EXHAUST SYSTEM (FROM AND INCLUDING Y-PIPE AND BACK) HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. MY MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE MOST RUSTED OUT SYSTEM HE HAD EVER SEEN. I BELIEVE THIS WAS DUE TO INCORRECT MAKING OF THE PRODUCT. THIS MAY BE SIMILAR TO THE OTHER RECALL IN WHICH THE LACK OF PROPERLY COATING THE ITEMS CAUSED PREMATURE RUSTING. *TR

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON 5/15.2008 I NOTICED A STRANGE NOISE EMANATING FROM THE OUTSIDE REAR AREA OF THE VEHICLE. THE NEXT DAY WHILE HAVING THE VEHICLES TIRES REPLACED A SHOP EMPLOYEE POINTED OUT TO ME THAT THE SWAY BAR WAS BROKEN IN HALF. THIS IS NOT A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR OCCURRENCE AND WAS NOT DUE TO ANY MISTAKE OR MISUSE OF THE VEHICLE BY ME. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE VEHICLE SINCE AND THE BROKEN PART HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER. IN 2007, THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE TOWARDS THE END OF APRIL. HE CALLED THE DEALER TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL REPAIR AND THEY STATED THAT HE WOULD NEED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION. AFTERWARDS, DEPENDING ON THE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS, THEY WOULD DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE COMPONENTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE RECALL NOTICE STATED THAT THE COMPONENT WOULD BE REPLACED NO MATTER WHAT; THEREFORE, THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE DEALER SHOULD REPLACE THE DEFECTED ITEM REGARDLESS OF THE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS. THERE HAD BEEN NO FAILURE TO DATE. THE RECALL NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 77,000.

FACTORY CD CHANGER FOR 2001 PATHFINDER LE BECOMES JAMMED, WILL NOT PLAY CDS OR EJECT THEM, SHOWS AN ERROR CODE OF ERR2. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND OUT THAT THE UNIT IS MANUFACTURED BY CLARION AND THAT MANY OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IF NISSAN KNOW ABOUT THAT PROBLEM WHY DON'T RECALL IT? *TR

6 CD CHANGER CD PLAYER NEVER WORKS, I HAVE TRIED TO CALL NISSAN AS I FOUND 100 OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS BUT NO RESPONSE. THE CD SYSTEM IS BY BOSE. ONE OF THE TOP CD MAKERS IN THE WORLD. DEALERS WILL CHARGE 2000 TO FIX IT, IS IT REALLY WORTH FIXING IT FOR 2K I WOULD RATHER INSTALL OF THE MKT ONE, HOWEVER IT SHOWS POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND QUALITY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
GASOLINE HAS BEEN LEAKING FROM THE GAS TUBE ON MY 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER FOR TWO YEARS. I CONTACTED THE DEALER SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND ASKED THEM ABOUT THE RECALL. THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT. I THEN NOTIFIED THEM OF THE RECALL AND DIRECTED TO THE WEBSITE. I'M TIRED OF THE SMELL OF GASOLINE, GAS ON MY DRIVEWAY AND LAWN AND POLLUTING MY LAKE. I WANT TO KNOW WHEN I WILL RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE AND REPAIR. WE HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH FOR NISSAN TO ACT AND IGNORE THE NHTSA RECALL AND IGNORE POTENTIAL HAZARDS TO NISSAN VEHICLE OWNERS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
ON SEPTEMBER 12,2007 NISSAN POSTED A RECALL ON 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDERS. MY VEHICLE WHICH SHOULD BE PART OF THE RECALL WAS DENIED BY NISSAN BECAUSE MY VEHICLES VIN#S WERE NOT PART OF THEIR RECALL. I BEG TO DIFFER. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN JUNE 06 IN LOU,KY. THE RECALL STATES THAT IF THEY ARE CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN CERTAIN STATES AND KY IS ONE OF THOSE THEN I'M ENTITLED TO THE RECALL. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY DENIED MY REQUEST. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE FUEL TUBE OR IF BY CHANCE IT WILL CAUSE A FIRE OR SOME SERIOUS INJURY TO MYSELF OR OTHERS. I KNOW I'M BEING MISTREATED BY NISSAN AND I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE CORRECTED IF POSSIBLE. I WANT NISSAN TO OWN UP TO ITS RECALL AND TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS. AFTER ALL THEY RECALLED THE VEHICLE.*CN
