2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER Complaints

MY 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER 6 DISC CD CHANGER WENT OUT ON ME THE OTHER DAY WITH THE DREADED "ERR2" MESSAGE. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT TAKING CARE OF. SOMETHING MUST ME DONE. *TR

2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER WITH GAS LEAK. CONSUMER STATES FUEL LEAKED FROM THE VEHICLE MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE DEALER DID NOT HAVE ALL THE PARTS TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THEY WERE EXPERIENCING. *KB THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE DEALER REPLACED THE 02 SENSOR. (RECALL 07V435000) *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE TIRE MECHANIC NOTICED RUST IN THE WHEEL WELD ON THE LOWER BRACKET DUE TO FUEL LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE CONTACT'S VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V435000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP). THEY ALSO ADVISED HIM TO CALL THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DIVISION IN TWO WEEKS. THE TIRE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE WHILE REPLACING THE TIRES. THE REPAIR WOULD COST $1,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,900 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

JULY 1, 2007: MICHELIN TIRE FAILURE: P255/65 R16 MICHELIN LTX M/S . AFTER 22K MILES ON THE TIRES, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH, SUDDENLY THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE TREAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE SIDEWALL, RESULTING IN A BLOWOUT. THE 2001 PATHFINDER LE 4X4, DIDN'T FLIP OVER. I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND PULLOVER ON THE SIDE. THE ENTIRE TIRE TREAD SEPARATED INTACT, AROUND THE TAILPIPE BRACKETS AND REAR MUDFLAP. THE TREAD IS UNDAMAGED: NO NAIL OR SCREWS OR ANY OTHER ROAD HAZARD OR DAMAGES. THE AAA SENT A TRUCK WHO CHANGED THE TIRE. HIS COMMENT WAS: "IN OVER 22 YEARS OF DOING TIRE AND MECHANICAL WORK, HE NEVER SAW ANYTHING LIKE THIS". I RETURNED THE TIRE TO COSTCO. THE TIRE CENTER MANAGER WAS VERY COOPERATIVE,WHERE THEY ORDERED A NEW TIRE WITHOUT QUESTION.DAMAGES TO THE PATHFINDER WERE ESTIMATED AT $900 DUE TO THE NEED TO REPLACE THE TAILPIPE/MUFFLER ASSEMBLY AND THE MUDFLAP WAS DESTROYED. COSTCO MANAGER SAID THAT THE CLAIM FOR DAMAGES WOULD NEED TO BE MADE DIRECTLY TO MICHELIN. I DID THAT. IT IS A MIRACLE THAT THE VEHICLE DIDN'T FLIP OVER !!!. MICHELIN REQUIRED THAT THE TIRE BE RETURNED TO COSTCO, HAVE THEM CALL MICHELIN TO GIVE A REPORT OF THE SITUATION. MICHELIN REP SAID THAT THEY WOULD OFFER PERHAPS A 50% DISCOUNT ON THE PURCHASE OF NEW REPLACEMENT TIRE BUT NOTHING ELSE. I WANT MICHELIN TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGES SUSTAINED !!. I WAS REQUIRED TO SEND THE TIRE TO MICHELIN (THEY EVENTUALLY PAID FOR THE SHIPPING) TO BE EXAMINED. THE RESULTS OF THEIR INVESTIGATION WAS A LETTER RESPONSE THAT THIS WAS CAUSED BY "DRIVER ERROR" - BY RUNNING THE TIRE IN A RUN-FLAT CONDITION. A RUN -FLAT CONDITION ???? THEY SENT A BROCHURE PRINTOUT EXPLAINING HOW THAT OCCURS. AIR ESCAPES , RUNS LOW AND THE TIRE EVENTUALLY BLOWS OUT. THERE WAS NO AIR ESCAPE NOR IS THERE ANY ROAD HAZARD DAMAGE TO THE TREAD. HOW DID THE AIR ESCAPE TO RUN FLAT ??? MICHELIN DID NOT PAY ANY DAMAGES. *TR

THE CAR WOBBLES BACK AND FORTH LIKE RIDING A BOAT IN RUFF WATERS. THIS IS A STRUCTURAL ISSUE AND 2 DIFFERENT AUTO REPAIR MEN HAVE NOT YET FIGURED OUT WHAT IS CAUSING IT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT SMELLED A STRONG GASEOUS ODOR INSIDE THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. SHE LOOKED UNDER HER VEHICLE AND DID NOT NOTICE ANY LEAKS. SHE THEN DROVE TO WORK AND THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR MOST OF THE DAY. WHEN SHE RETURNED TO HER VEHICLE HOURS LATER, SHE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A FUEL LEAK BENEATH HER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT REMAINED UNTIL THE PARTS ARRIVED. NISSAN STATED THAT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V435000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP). THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 115,000.

I HAVE A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER THAT HAS THE 6 DISC BOSE CD CHANGE, I HAVE CONTACTED THE ORIGINAL DEALER OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS NISSAN AND CLARION, THE MANUFACTURE OF THE CD PLAYER AND HAVE RECEIVED MULTIPLE SNOW JOBS. ALL I AM LOOKING FOR IS THE DEFECTIVE PLAYER TO EITHER BE FIXED OR REPLACED WITH A NEW UNIT, I KNOW THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE OUT THERE AFTER RESEARCHING SAID PLAYER ON THE INTERNET. I FOUND OUT THAT SEVERAL HUNDRED IF NOT THOUSAND PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. *TR
