2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CENTER ARM REST IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE LEANS ON THE CONVERTIBLE CHILD SAFETY SEAT. THIS CAUSES THE ARM REST TO LEAN OUTWARDS. THE FAILURE IS DUE TO HOW THE REAR SEAT WAS DESIGNED. THE CENTER SEAT BELT WAS TWISTED AT THE BASE, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO TIGHTEN AND SECURE THE CHILD SEAT. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO DISASSEMBLE IT AND WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE OWNERS MANUAL STATED THAT IT IS UNSAFE WHEN THE SEAT BELT IS TWISTED. THE ANGLE OF THE REAR SEAT IS STEEP AT THE BOTTOM. THE CONTACT IS USING A HUGE BATH TOWEL FOLDED UNDER THE SEAT, BUT THE SEAT IS NOT SECURE. THE CHILD SEAT MOVES FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THE SAFETY SEAT RESTS ON THE EDGE OF WHERE THE VEHICLE'S SEAT MEETS THE OTHER SECTION OF THE REAR SEAT. THIS INCREASES INSTABILITY AND CAUSES THE CHILD SEAT TO ANGLE DOWNWARDS. THE VEHICLE HAS NO LOWER ANCHOR TETHER. THE CONTACT HAS NOT SPOKEN WITH THE DEALER. THE PURCHASE DATE AND FUEL SYSTEM WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 95,153 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,153.

I JUST PURCHASED A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE 6 DISC CD PLAYER DOES NOT WORK, IT SAYS "ERR2". I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT EVERYTHING WAS IN WORKING CONDITION AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER TO FIX IT AT THEIR COST THEY WOULD NOT DO IT. I THINK THIS IS BAD BUSINESS SINCE I MENTIONED THE FACT THAT I LIKED THAT THE VEHICLE HAS A 6 DISC CD WHEN I TEST DROVE IT. I AM FINDING OUT THAT MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE CD NOT WORKING. WHY DOESNT NISSAN RECALL IT AND CARE ABOUT CUSTOMER SATISFACTION?

I HAVE 2WD NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CAR HAS BEEN VOBBELING LEFT TO RIGHT AND RIGHT TO LEFT AT SPEEDS OF 50MPH AND OVER. SOME OF THE SYMPTOMS ARE EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE REAR AXLE ESPECIALLY DURING MODERATE ACCELERATION OR DECELERATION. A VEHICLE PULLING AT A CONSTANT SPEED EXCESSIVE SWAY AND ROCKING MOTION IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THERE ARE ABOUT 100 + PEOPLE THAT I FOUND ON ONE WEBSITE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.NET/FORUM/AUTOS/T5LSTPR50NPCO9CTL THERE ARE MANY OTHER SITES LIKE THE ABOVE SITE WHERE PEOPLE HAVE POSTED THEIR PROBLEM AND SOLUTION. *TR

I PURCHASED NISSAN PATHFINDER 2001 ON MARCH 2001, AND THE IN-DASH 6-CD CHANGER DEFECTED FIRST TIME LESS THAN A YEAR WITHIN THE WARRANTY. IT WAS SENT TO FACTORY TO BE REFURBISHED. AFTER THAT IT MALFUNCTIONED AGAIN TWICE. AFTER I BOUGHT THE SERVICE MANUAL FOR THE CLARION UNIT I FOUND THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY PLASTIC GEARS THAT CONTINUED TO BREAK. THE PLASTIC WILL GET BRITTLE OVER TIME AND BREAK OR STRIP OUT. KNOWING THIS, CLARION CONTINUED TO USE PLASTIC GEARS THAT WERE KNOWN TO BREAK DURING NORMAL USAGE. THIS WAS POOR ENGINEERING ON CLARION'S PART. IF THE GEARS WERE MADE OF SOMETHING STRONGER , SUCH AS TEFLON? THE GEARS WOULD NO LONGER BREAK OR STRIP OUT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT NO ONE AT NISSAN/INFINITI OR CLARION ADMITTED TO THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM MENTIONED HERE COULD BE FOUND IN MOST ALL OF THE CLARION 6-DISC CHANGERS INSTALLED IN NISSAN/INFINITI VEHICLES. A SMALL GROUP ACROSS THE U.S. WAS NOW SPREADING THE WORD NOT TO BUY NISSAN/INFINITI PRODUCTS BECAUSE OF THIS SINGLE PROBLEM. THE DISSATISFIED GROUP WAS ONLY GOING TO GET LARGER AS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE FIND OUT HOW NISSAN/INFINITI AND CLARION WERE DENYING THIS PROBLEM. *AK
