2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER Complaints

MY 2001 PATHFINDER HAD ONLY 37,800 MILES WHEN THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY DEALERSHIP SAYS IT NEEDS BOTH REAR OXYGEN SENSORS AT A COST OF OVER $500. IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT OXYGEN SENSORS WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO NEED REPLACING UNTIL 90,000 MILES. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN (02006) REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I FEEL THAT AT LEAST OF PORTION OF THIS COST SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. HOW DO I CHECK ON THIS? *JB

MY 2001 PATHFINDER HAS HAD SOME MAJOR TROUBLES WITH STARTING. I HAVE HAD TO WAIT FOR A PERIOD OF MORE THAN A HALF OF AN HOUR TO GET IT STARTED AND I ALSO HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK, (I WAS OUT OF TOWN), AND WAIT FOR THREE HOURS BEFORE I RECEIVED A JUMP START, THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID THAT THE BATTERY WAS FULL. I DECIDED TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THE 2001 PATHFINDER HAS BEEN RECALLED IN ASIA FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THIS IN THE STATES? S I HAVE HAD THE SAME INCIDENT OCCUR THREE TIMES I AM UNSURE ABOUT EXACT DATES OF THEIR OCCURRENCES.*AK

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT STARTING VEHICLE AND INTERMITTENT STALLING WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEED OF 0-35 MPH. VEHICLE HAD BEEN TO THE DEALER ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.*AK

I OWN A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER. I AM EXPERIENCING DELAYED, NOISY AND HARD ENGAGEMENT WHEN I SHIFT FROM PARK TO REVERSE. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED A WAVERING WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES PER HOUR. WHEN MY WIFE TOOK INTO THE DEALER THEY TOLD HER THIS IS NORMAL FOR A PATHFINDER. THE DELAYED ENGAGEMENTS OCCUR ROUTINELY SO A PRECISE INCIDENT DATE IS NOT APPLICABLE. *JB

MY DAUGHTER'S SERVICE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. SHE HAS PULLED OVER AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OVER AND OVER DUE TO THIS SINCE WE HAVE TOLD HER IT MAY BE UNSAFE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. AFTER DOING EXTENSIVE RESEARCH, I FIND THAT THOUSANDS OF 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. MILEAGE IS VERY LOW WHEN THIS OCCURS. I AM TAKING IT IN AGAIN TO HAVE ANOTHER "SENSOR" REPLACED BUT THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS AND THE CAR SHAKES BADLY.F HUNDRED/THOUSANDS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2001, WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL? E SPENT 800 ON TIRES BECAUSE I WAS TOLD IT SHOOK DUE TO THIS, THEN THEY DECIDED IT WAS ANOTHER SENSOR.*AK

WHILE PARALLEL PARKING VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ROLL BACKWARD AND HIT A BRICK WALL WHILE THE BRAKES WAS STILL BEING APPLIED BY THE CONSUMER. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED , AND WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *AK

DRIVING ON PARKWAY, TIRE BLEW OUT CAUSING ~ $3,000 BODY DAMAGE BY THE RIPPING RUBBER. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. TOW WAS NECESSARY. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE TIRE DID NOT SHOW THE "INDICATOR MARKING" OF WEAR, NOR WERE THE TREADS BARE. THE MAKE, MODEL AND NUMBERS ARE IDENTICAL TO 2 OTHER COMPLAINTS I QUICKLY REVIEWED ON THIS SITE. BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/T STEEL BELTED RADIAL P255 / 65R16 NISSAN PATHFINDER 2001

WATER BEGAN TO LEAK UNDERNEATH OF THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT AND THEN MULTIPLE LIGHT SENSORS STARTING ACTIVATING WITHOUT CAUSE. DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE EVAPORATOR WAS CLOGGED WITH LEAVES, ETC. HOWEVER, THE PART WAS SAID NOT TO NEED REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT, BUT THEY WERE GOING TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE WHOLES IN THE EVAPORATOR, SO IT WOULDN'T CLOG AGAIN. CALL WAS PLACED TO THE WARRANTY COMPANY, AND THEY STATED IT WASN'T COVER SINCE IT DIDN'T NEED A NEW PART, HOWEVER THEY DIDN'T FEEL THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD BE INCREASING THE SIZE OF THE WHOLES IF NOTHING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.CAR IS HARDLY EVER PARKED UNDER A TREE. DON'T UNDERSTAND THE NEED TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE EVAPORATOR WHOLES, IF THERE IS NO PREVIOUSLY KNOWN PROBLEM THAT THE DEALERSHIP KNOWS ABOUT.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLES ENGINE WOULD OVERHEAT. THE CONSUMER CHECKED THE RADIATOR TO FIND THAT ALL OF THE FLUIDS WERE LEAKING OUT ON THE GROUND. THE CONSUMER HAS HAD THE DEALER EXAMINE THE VEHICLE ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE DEALER HAVE REPLACED THE RADIATOR, THERMOSTAT AND THE FAN CLUTCH.*AK

THE WINDOWS ON MY 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER GET SLOWER AND SLOWER UNTIL THEY BARELY WORK. WHILE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY THEY LUBED THE WINDOWS AND SENT ME BACK OUT UNTIL IT HAPPENED A FEW MONTHS LATER, AGAIN AND AGAIN. NOW THEY SAY THEY WILL CHARGE ME BECAUSE I AM OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY SAY THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY SAY THAT THE DRY CONDITIONS IN ARIZONA IS CAUSING IT TO ALL PATHFINDERS. I TOLD THEM OTHER BRANDS OF CARS SEEM TO BE FINE. THEY SAID THEY DO NOT PLAN ON DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL FUTURE LUBE REPAIRS. NISSAN TOLD ME THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEM FOR AWHILE.
