NISSAN Complaints

MY 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER STARTED STALLING LAST WEEK. I WOULD BE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT WOULD JUST GO DEAD MAKING IT NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHOM INFORMED ME IT WAS AN IPDM ISSUE WHICH WAS IN THE PROCESS OF A RECALL.I INFORMED THEM I WAS STRAPPED FOR MONEY BEING IT WAS A 700 DOLLAR JOB. THEY SAID CHANCES WERE IT WOULD BE COVERED. IT WAS NOT COVERED! I WAS INFORMED BY THEIR CONSUMER AFFAIR PEOPLE IF THERE WAS INFACT A RECALL I MAY BE NOTIFIED FOR REIMBURSEMENT. I HAVE FOUND ON NUMEROUS SITES THAT IT IS RECALLED BUT BECAUSE I DID NOT RECEIVE A LETTER IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST ISSUE I'VE HAD WITH NISSAN. A FUEL SENSOR ISSUE WAS FOUND AND THEY COVERED NOTHING TELLING ME IT WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY SO TOUGH LUCK. ANOTHER 377.00 BUCKS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE NISSANS PRACTICES. I WILL NEVER TRUST THE NISSAN NAME AGAIN. *TR

2006 NISSAN TITAN DIED IN PARKING LOT ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 1ST, STARTED RIGHT UP. ON MONDAY, AUGUST 2ND, DIED IN BANK DRIVE THROUGH, TOOK ABOUT 8-10 MINUTES TO GET STARTED, THEN ONLY "CHUGGED". WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF DRIVE THROUGH LINE AND TO PARKING SPOT. TURNED ENGINE OFF FOR 20 MINUTES, STARTED UP AND WENT BACK TO WORK. AT 5:00 ON THAT DAY, WOULD NOT START. TRIED FOR 30 MINUTES. HUSBAND HAD FRIEND TOW IT HOME AND THEY CHECKED THE SPARK PLUGS AND A FEW THINGS WITH NO LUCK. ON AUGUST, 4TH, HUSBAND TOWED THE TRUCK TO THE CLAY COOLEY NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THEIR TEST SHOWED IT TO BE THE IPDM SENSOR OUT. THIS PART WAS REPLACED AND TRUCK WAS FIXED. THE COST FOR THIS REPAIR WAS $306.16. I HAVE JUST FOUND OUT THAT THIS SENSOR HAS BEEN RECALLED ON TITANS PRODUCED FROM 2004 TO JUNE 2006. ACCORDING TO CLAY COOLEY NISSAN, MY TRUCK WAS PRODUCED IN APRIL 2006; ACCORDING TO NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE THIS RECALL WAS EFFECTIVE FROM 2004 TO MARCH 2006. THIS MAKES NO SENSE TO ME. THIS PART WAS RECALLED AND IT WENT OUT ON MY TRUCK. I PLAN TO KEEP FOLLOWING ON THIS ISSUE UNTIL I GET MY 306.16 REFUNDED. *TR

2004-2008 TITAN; REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKS. MINE IS A 05'. RIGHT REAR WHEEL WELL IS COVERED WITH OIL AND THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE IS FLOODED WITH OIL ALSO. 55K MILES AND FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND I WAS LUCKY IT LASTED THIS LONG. DEALERSHIP WANTS $1,500+ TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT NOT JUST WEAR AND TEAR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2003 NISSAN MURANO AWD SL I SUDDENLY LOOSE ACCELERATION, THE ENGINE WILL NOT REV AND THE RPM INDICATOR IS 0, THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING, THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHT INDICATORS. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES THE ACCELERATOR WILL RE-ENGAGE AND THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS, TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, NO CODES ISSUED. I HAVE REPLACED IN THE PAST 3 YEARS THE TRANSMISSION IN THE LAST 7 MONTHS THE FUEL PUMP, THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, THE O2 SENSORS HAVE ALL BEEN REPLACED. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THIS NOT A PROBLEM THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT COULD BE...SOUND LIKE THEY ARE NOT BEING EXACTLY FORTHCOMING ON THIS ISSUE. *TR

THERE IS AN ONGOING FAILURE OF REAR AXLE SEALS AND BEARINGS IN OUR 2007 NISSAN TITAN. THIS RESULTS IN THE SLIP AND BRAKE LIGHT BURNING CONTINUOUSLY AS WELL AS THE REAR AXLE LEAKING OIL. WE HAVE HAD THIS REPLACED TWICE UNDER WARRANTY BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING. THEY WERE CHANGED AT 34,712 AND 58,205 MILES RESPECTIVELY. THE LIGHTS ARE ON AND THEY ARE LEAKING AGAIN AT 75,209 MILES. THERE IS A NISSAN TECHNICAL BULLETIN ON THIS PROBLEM WITH 2004-2007 TITANS. WE CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY WILL NOT COVER A PROBLEM OUT OF WARRANTY THOUGH IT IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. IT APPEARS TO US THEY PUT CHEAP REPAIRS IN WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW THAT THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED THEY WANT THEIR CUSTOMERS TO HAVE TO PAY TO FIX THEIR DESIGN FLAW CORRECTLY. WE HAVE CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WERE GIVEN A CASE NUMBER AND THEY WERE GOING TO INVESTIGATE AND LET US KNOW IF THEY COULD HELP. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS WE WERE TOLD NISSAN WOULD NOT HELP US RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE LEAKING OIL PRESENTS A DANGER WHEN IT GETS ON THE BRAKES AND MAKES IT UNSAFE AS WELL AS THEY POSSIBILITY OF PARTS FAILURE IN THE REAR END. I HAVE BEEN ON MANY TITAN FORUMS ON THE INTERNET AND THIS IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM. WE ARE ALSO SENDING THIS INFORMATION TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA. *TR

2008 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5- I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER 9 TIMES WITH BRAKE ISSUES AND HAD MY MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED ONCE ALREADY IN 2009 UNDER WARRANTY. MY BRAKE LIGHT HAS BEEN TURNING ON DURING ACCELERATION AND OFF WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND WAS TOLD THE MASTER CYLINDER HAS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AND THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THE WORK IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO 12,000 MILE AGREEMENT. OBVIOUSLY, SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG HERE. I'M ON THE 3RD MASTER CYLINDER IN 2 AND 1/2 YEARS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS CYLINDER; MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

2008 M35 BASE FRONT END ALIGNMENT. WHEN DRIVING ON UNEVEN ROADS THE FRONT END OF THE CAR JUMPS, RATTLES AND SLIPS. IT HAPPENS CONSTANTLY AND CONSISTENTLY ON UNEVEN OR FREEWAYS WITH THE GROOVES (CALIFORNIA) AT 55 PLUS MILES PER HOUR. THE STEERING IS SO HARSH THAT THE CAR HAS TO SLOW DOWN OR MOVE TO MORE EVEN ROAD. THE ROAD DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THAT UNEVEN FOR THE PROBLEM TO OCCUR. NEW TIRES AND FRONT END ALIGNMENT ONLY PARTIALLY FIX THE PROBLEM. BUT THE ISSUE IS STILL EVIDENT. ON RAINY DAYS THE PROBLEM IS WORSE. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER, AND THE GAS TANK SENSOR FAILED LIKE SO MANY OTHERS FROM 2005 TO 2010. I RAN OUT OF GAS THE FIRST TIME AND IT STOPPED SO SUDDENLY I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID THAT MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T FALL IN THE RECALL LIST. I AM ON FORUMS AND EVERYONE IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS BUT THEY ARE ONLY PICKING A FEW TO FIX. THIS IS WRONG. ANYWAYS NOW WHEN I FILL IT UP IT GOES TO EMPTY AND THE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT LIGHTS. THEN AFTER 30 OR SO MILES IT EVER SO SLOWLY STARTS TO CLIMB UNTIL IT IS FULL. THEN FOR NO REASON IT WILL GO EMPTY AGAIN. IT KEEPS GOING THROUGH THIS CYCLE. *TR

BRAKES, PADS, ROTORS REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES, CAR STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES HORRIBLY WHEN BRAKING ,BRAKES SQUEAL HORRIBLY WITH BRAKING (METALLIC) . ROTORS VERY CHEAP, HAVE TO BE REPLACED EVERY 20,000 MILES FOR $400.00. HAD COMPLETE REAR BRAKES, ROTORS DONE LAST AT 90000,THEN AT 121,000, METALLIC NOISE AGAIN AT 125,000-SERVICED, 130,000 SQUEAK AGAIN, 200 MILES LATER BRAKES BAD AGAIN, ROTOR TURNED, NOW AT 130,000 BRAKES SQUEAKING AGAIN, CAR VIBRATES WITH BRAKING AGAIN AND CARS BRAKES DON'T RESPOND AS WELL. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE DANGEROUS BRAKES, ROTORS, ETC .I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR NEED NEW ROTORS EVERY BRAKE JOB!!!!!! *TR
