NISSAN LOWER LINK Complaints

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER AND I HAVE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION FAILURE! DEFECTIVE RADIATOR CAUSES ENGINE COOLANT TO LEAK INTO TRANSMISSION WHICH COULD FAIL AT ANY TIME. DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED COULD AND WILL CAUSE DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. I MUST NOT BE ALONE IN THIS PROBLEM EITHER, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SIGHT REGARDING THIS VERY ISSUE! NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DESIGN/MANUFACTURING FLAW. MANY CONSUMERS WHO ARE NOT AWARE OF THIS ARE AT DANGER AND OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD AS WELL. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THIS IMMEDIATELY!!! WHY DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE KILLED OR INJURED SERIOUSLY BEFORE NHTSA OR NISSAN GETS INVOLVED. I GUESS MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL! AND NISSAN IS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR PROFITS THAN SOMEONE'S LIFE! WE AS CONSUMERS NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WEAR AND TEAR ON OUR PART, BUT NISSAN DESIGN DEPARTMENT! *TR

THIS STATEMENT IS IN ADDITION OF NUMURAS SAFETY RECALLS. JULY 2008 ON INTERSTATE 22 MYRTLE BEACH MY 2003 MURANO STALLED OUT WITH SON AND DAUGHTER. JULY 2009 IT STALLED OUT IN WHITEVILLE NC. IT STALLED AGAIN. ON BOTH OCCASIONS NISSAN REPLACED A BLOWN A BLOWN FUSE. NOTHING ELSE. AUGUST 2010 TRAFFIC THE MURANO STALLED AT 65 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC NEARLY CAUSING A TEN CAR PILE UP. WE WERE LUCKY. TOWED MURANO,TO NISSAN OF MYRTLE BEACH, FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED. ON ALL THE RECALLS MAILED TO US REFER:THESE SAFETY RECALLS COULD CAUSE FIRE OR CRASHES. MY WIFE IS AFRAID OF OUR DEATH TRAP OF OUR 2003 MURANO. THE FUEL PUMP IS NOT A RECALL,BUT IF YOU LOOK UP COMPLAINTS ON FUEL PUMPS AND BLOWN FUSES YOU SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE MY CAR IS A DEATH TRAP. I WANT A INVESTIGATION DONE. *TR

HI, I'M WRITING TO YOU BECAUSE SINCE DAY ONE IN 2007 WHEN I BOUGHT MY 2007 NISSAN TITAN I HAVE NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT , FIRST MY FRONT END OF MY TRUCK KEPT ON SHAKING EVERY TIME THE BRAKES WHERE APPLIED AND I HAD TOLD PINE BELT NISSAN THE PLACE I GOT THE TRUCK , THAT I BEEN HAVING THESE PROBLEMS BUT YET THESE PEOPLE STILL DON'T WANNA BOTHER WITH ME AT ALL , THIS TRUCK IS WAY TO SAFE TO EVEN BOTHER DRIVING IT ANYMORE AND I REFUSED TO PAY ALL THIS MONEY FOR A TRUCK THAT I HAVE GOT WITH LESS THEN 7,000 MILES ON IT. I HAD BOUGHT ALL THE EXTENDED WARRANTIES FOR THIS TRUCK AND IT DIDN'T DO ME ANY GOOD BECAUSE EVERY TIME I HAVE A PROBLEM OR QUESTION ABOUT SOMETHING THEY ARE ALWAYS LOOKING TO CHARGE ME FOR SOMETHING I FEEL SHOULD BE COVERED BY MY WARRANTY. NEXT PROBLEM WAS MY HEADLIGHTS KEPT BLOWING OUT AND YET THEY STILL COULDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME BESIDES MAKE ME PAY FOR NEW LIGHT BULBS OVER 3 TIMES , I ALSO HAD TO BUY WIRE HARDNESS FOR MY HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE THEY SAID THE LIGHTS GOT TO HOT AND MELTED THE WIRES? I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND HOW ANY OF THIS IS MY FAULT. NEXT PROBLEM IS I HAVE TOLD THEM THAT MY FRONT WHEELS SEEM TO BE SHAKING WHEN EVER IM MAKING A TURN, NEXT I NOTICED THAT MY TIRES ARE STARTING TO WARE ON EVENLY AND THESE TIRES ARE PRETTY MUCH NEW ??? NOW I GET TWO RECALLS IN THE MAIL, ONE FOR MY FUEL GAUGE AND THE OTHER FOR THE LOWER CONTROL LINKS ?? WHAT'S NEXT ED . THIS TRUCK IS REALLY A NIGHTMARE, I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS NEWER AND SAFE TO GO ANYWHERE, WRONG I DON'T EVEN WANNA DRIVE THIS THING AROUND THE BLOCK NOT ALONE BEING FORCED TO USE THIS TRUCK TO GET TO AND FROM WORK BECAUSE THIS IS MY ONLY CAR AND I AM NOT MADE OUT OF MONEY THAT'S THE REASON WHY I BOUGHT A NEWER TRUCK JUST SO I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THESE. I GUESS I WAS WRONG. THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR TIME AND ANY HELP YOU COULD GIVE ME , I JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE OR WHO ELSE TO GO TO . I JUST WANT MY TRUCK IN 100% WORKING CONDITION LIKE I WAS PROMISED. *TR

TRANSFER CASE SEALS HAVE FAILED FOR THE SECOND TIME AFTER HAVING BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALER IN THE FALL OF 2008. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE AN ISSUE WITH LEAKING TRANSFER CASES IN MURANOS. THEY HAVE PUT IN PLACE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURES, HOWEVER, DID NOT INCLUDE TRANSFER CASE PROBLEMS. *TR

ON THIS 2010 ARMADA, SINCE THE FIRST USE AFTER PURCHASE, THE LOW FUEL WARNING COMES ON WITH ABOUT 8 GALLONS LEFT IN THE 28-GALLON TANK, WHILE THE FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE APPEARS TO INDICATE THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF REMAINING FUEL. (OUR 2005 ARMADA DEVELOPED THIS EXACT PROBLEM AFTER A FEW YEARS, AND WE HAVE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THE OPPOSITE PROBLEM IN WHICH SOME SYSTEMS SHOW MORE FUEL THAN ACTUAL.) AT THIS POINT IT IS AN INCONVENIENCE AS OPPOSED A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT, SINCE THE PROBLEM ON OUR 2010 ARMADA IS OBVIOUSLY MERELY A DIFFERENT SYMPTOM OF PROBABLY THE SAME FAULTY COMPONENT, I FEEL THE NHTSA SHOULD CONSIDER ISSUING A RECALL FOR THE 2010 MODEL AS WELL (AND FOR OTHER YEAR MODELS NOT YET RECALLED) SINCE THE MALFUNCTION COULD JUST AS WELL SHIFT TO THE UNSAFE FAILURE MODE. IT ALSO SEEMS VERY LIKELY THAT MANY OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME MALFUNCTION AS WITH MY 2005 AND 2010 MODELS, BUT THAT THE NHTSA'S STATISTICS DO NOT TRACK SUCH COMPLAINTS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE FAULTY COMPONENT IS NOT YET 'UNSAFE' IN THIS PARTICULAR MODE OF MALFUNCTION. (SINCE THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP, I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE VIN OR TO OUR OFFICE RECORDS THIS WEEKEND, BUT CAN PROVIDE THE VIN LATER IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO REVISE A POSTING.) *TR

2004 NISSAN QUEST VAN ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND LOST IT ACCELERATION TWICE WHILE DRIVING LOCALLY. I JUST GOT THIS VAN FOR ONLY A MONTH. NISSAN CANADA THIS IS NOT SAFE AT ALL. I BOUGHT THIS VAN BECAUSE I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN. IF YOU HAVE A HEART, PLEASE CHECK ON ALL THE VAN BECAUSE THIS COULD CAUSED SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. I DON'T WHAT TO DO WITH THIS ONE NOW. IF I HAD KNOWN THIS PROBLEM I WOULD GET SOME OTHER VAN. I NEED HELP! *TR

JUNE 2, 2009 I HAD TO HAVE MY 2006 NISSAN XTERRA TO VICTORY NISSAN IN MECHANICSVILLE, VA AFTER BEING TOLD BY NISSAN'S RECALL REPRESENTATIVE THAT MY PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CLASSIFIED AS A RECALL. MY FUEL-LINE BURST AND SPEWED GAS IN MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT. IT COST ME $310.58 TO HAVE IT REPLACED. JUNE 7, 2010 THE FUELINE BURST IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE, THIS TIME SPRAYING ME IN THE FACE WITH GASOLINE WHEN I RAISED THE HOOD-LUCKILY I WAS WEARING EYEGLASSES. AGAIN I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN RECALL THAT THERE ISN'T A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE REASON ESCAPES ME AS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BOTH WITH POTENTIAL FIRE AND PHYSICAL INJURY. NOBODY HAS BEEN HURT SO FAR WITH THIS ISSUE. IN A SEPARATE INCIDENT, MY FUEL GAUGE THAT IS A KNOWN HAZARD BEGAN ACTING ERRATICALLY A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, AND I WAS TOLD THAT XTERRAS WITH MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER DO NOT FALL UNDER THE CURRENT RECALL THAT NISSAN HAS ON THIS ISSUE. THEIR REASON FOR THE RECALL IS THAT THE FUEL GAUGE COULD READ AT 1/4 FULL BUT BE EMPTY AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS IN TRAFFIC AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I GUESS MY CAR WILL NOT RUN OUT OF GAS AND CAUSE CRASHES ACCORDING TO NISSAN, RIGHT? *TR

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND OFF ALONG WITH THE GAS GAUGE GOING CRAZY FROM EMPTY TO FULL. THEY REPLACED SENSOR AFTER HAVING TO BEG (COST WOULD HAVE BEEN 700 DOLLARS). THIS WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE A FUEL SENDING SENSOR WHICH COST ME 300 DOLLARS WHEN IT WAS IN FOR THAT I NEEDED BOTH U JOINTS REPLACED BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL AND CAR WOBBLED HORRIBLY WHEN HITTING ABOUT 50 MILES AN HOUR. THIS WOBBLE WAS HORRIBLE AND THOUGHT IT WAS THE TIRES.. THEN HAD TO REPLACE TWO U JOINTS ( SECOND TIME SINCE OWNING THIS 2006 PATHFINDER).. I WISH NISSAN WOULD STEP TO THE PLATE AND RECALL THE SENSORS AND U JOINTS.. ITS LIKE EVERYTHING HAPPENS JUST MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. PROBABLY LAST NISSAN I WILL BUY BECAUSE OF ALL THE PROBLEMS. *TR

THE DOOR ACTUATOR (PASSENGER) ON MY 2005 NISSAN ARMADA HAS GONE OUT TWICE WITH IN 14 MONTHS, CAUSING THE DOOR NOT TO BE ABLE TO OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. *TR
