2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER Complaints

I TURNED ON MY TRUCK IN THE MORNING IT MADE A WEIRD NOISE IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING WAS RATTLING IN THE TRUCK I CHECKED THE TRUCK WATER OIL EVERYTHING LOOKED NORMAL EXCEPT THE NOISE ... I WENT WHO WORK AFTER WORK I A SON AS I TURNED ON TRUCK NOISE WAS LOUDER AND I COULDN'T DRIVE IT MORE THEN 20MILES IT STARTED SHAKING AND SWERVING I RITE AWAY TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC ...AND HE SAID THAT THE TIMING BELT AND TRANSMISSION WERE THE CAUSE OF THAT RATTLE NOISE AND THAT'S WHY I COULDN'T RUN IT MORE THAN 10-20MILES ... NOW TO FIX IT'S 4,500 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION... I HAD JUST GOT THE VIECHLE 3 MONTHS AGO FROM THE DEALERSHIP NOW THEY WON'T HELP ME FIX . NOW AM STUCK WITH A CAR THAT DOESN'T WORK AND STILL MAKING PAYMENTS... I'VE SEEN ONLINE THAT NISSAN SUV'S HAVE THIS KIND OF PROBLEM THAT'S LIKE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT .

TRANSMISSION FLUID MIXED IN WITH RADIATOR FLUID. LEAKING OUT OF TRUCK. KNOW ISSUE WITH NISSAN TRUCKS.

TROUBLE CODE P0463, SES LIGHT CAME ON. ITS THE SAME TROUBLE CODE THAT CERTAIN NISSAN MODELS FUEL GAGES READ 1/4 OF A TANK WHEN EMPTY. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH MINE OR RECALLS IT IS A 08 LE V8 PATHFINDER.

THE PASSENGER SIDE "AIRBAG CHECK" AND SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT IS ON ON MY VEHICLE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. THEY ARE ON WHENEVER THE ENGINE IS ON, WHETHER THERE IS A PASSENGER ON THAT SEAT OR NOT. MY CAR FAILED TO PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE OF IT. I NOTICED FROM THE NHTAS WEBSITE THAT CERTAIN NISSAN PATHFINDER SOLD IN MASSACHUSETTS IN 2008 ARE INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. HOWEVER, MY CAR IS NOT YET INCLUDED IN THE RECALLING LIST. BY THE WAY, THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY COLLISION OR OTHER ACCIDENT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED TO WORK. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL WHEN IT WAS EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

SHIFTS ROUGH - NISSAN DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED AS CROSS CONTAMINATION OF ENGINE COOLANT, ATF, AND MILKY RADIATOR CAP. RECOMMED REPLACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR, TRANS COOLER AND THERMOSTAT. QUOTED $6400.00 TO REPAIR. WHO HAS $6400 LAYING AROUND FOR CAR REPAIRS. WITH ONLY 122,000 MILES ON CAR I CERTAINLY DIDN'T THINK I WOULD BE NEEDING TO PURCHASE ANOTHER CAR AND HAVE CAR PAYMENTS RIGHT NOW. NO HELP FROM NISSAN AND WE JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THAT NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF IT. THEY SHOULD BE COVERING THE PROBLEM.

AFTER MY WIFE HAD DIFFICULTY TRYING TO UNLOCK THE DRIVER DOOR USING THE THUMB BUTTON, SHE HAD TO RESULT IN USING THE KEY FOB... THEN WHILE DRIVING TO WORK SHE WAS ABOUT TO GET ON THE FREEWAY WHEN SHE NOTICED THE FUEL GAUGE WAS READING EMPTY. SHE PULLED INTO THE NEAREST SERVICE STATION TO FILL UP BUT WAS ONLY ALLOWED TO PUT IN 3 GALLONS. THEN THE GAUGE READ FULL. I HAD FILLED IT THE DAY BEFORE. AFTER WORK SHE NEEDED TO PICK UP FRIENDS AT THE AIRPORT AND TRIED TO USE THE REAR AC BUT IT WOULD ONLY BLOW HOT AIR..... NOW WHERE TO FIND OUT IF THESE ISSUES ALONG WITH THE AIR BAGS CAN BE FIXED... SUCH A HASSLE TO DEAL WITH THE DEALER FOR ITEMS LIKE THESE THAT SHOULD BE WARRANTY TYPE FIXES. WHAT IS A CONSUMER TO DO?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN PATHIFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE DEALER STATED THAT ANTI-FREEZE AND OIL LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING IT TO FAIL. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THIS WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND WOULD NOT BE COVERED. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR ARE BROKEN CAUSING MIXTURE OF FLUID CAUSE VEHICLE TO GO INTO LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. A KNOWN DEFECT OF NISSAN PATHFINDER 08, THE VEHICLE WAS OVER 140K MILE, THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS BUT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT PERTAIN TO THIS ISSUE.
