2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER Complaints

PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE SHIFTING. IT SHIFTED OR WOULD NOT SHIFT WHILE IN OPERATION. WE WERE OUT OF STATE ON VACATION AND DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. MANAGED TO GET BACK HOME AND PARKED IT. CALLED NISSAN DEALER. EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. *TR PROBLEM: CRACK WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER IN THE RADIATOR. MIXED COOLANT WITH TRANSMISSION. NEED TO REPLACE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. AND THERE IS ONLY A 12/12 WARRANTY ON THE REPLACED PARTS!!! ESTIMATED COST: $ 5000.00, SINCE THE VEHICLE TURNED OVER THE 100000 MILE. NISSAN KNOWS THIS PROBLEM EXIST AND HAS NOT EVEN NOTIFIED OWNERS OF POTENTIAL PROBLEM. THEIR DESIGN ISSUE OUR COST ISSUE.

WAS AT A STOP LIGHT ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN WENT TO ACCELERATE THE TRUCK AND IT WOULD NOT GO CONTINUE TO PRESS ON THE ACCELERATE UNTIL FINALLY IT WENT, THIS CONTINUE UNTIL I MADE IT HOME, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON 04/09/2013 AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND WOULD COST AROUND 10,000.00 TO REPAIR TOLD THEM NO WAY THE TRUCK IS ONLY SEVEN YEARS OLD, THEIR RESPONSE WAS IT HAS A LOT OF MILES. ASK IF I WOULD LIKE TO TRADE IT IN,TOLD THEM I WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN. STUCK WITH A BROKEN TRUCK. *TR

UNDER BODY VIBRATION REPORTED IN JANUARY WITH LESS THAN 100K MILES. TOLD IT WAS DUE TO THE CRACK IN MY BACK BUMPER. THEN 2 DAYS AGO, DROVE THE CAR BACK TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AT 112K MILES WHERE THEY TOLD ME MY RADIATOR CRACKED WHICH LEAD TO FLUID GOING INTO THE TRANSMISSION - A WIDELY KNOWN NISSAN PROBLEM. WILL HAVE TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION $5500 + RADIATOR $700 BECAUSE THEY ARE RUINED. FUEL SENSORY GAUGE STUCK ALSO AND WILL HAVE TO REPLACE - ALSO A WIDELY KNOWN NISSAN PROBLEM. *TR

MY COOLANT LEAK FLUID INTO MY TRANSMISSION , NISSAN HONORED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND IS REPLACING THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION. MY WHOLE EXHAUST SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ALSO AND MY COST FOR THAT IS 1200. *TR

AT HIGHER SPEEDS THE CAR STARTED SHUDDERING / JERKING WHEN IT WAS TRYING TO UP OR DOWNSHIFT. AT FIRST IT WAS NOT TOO NOTICEABLE HOWEVER THAT CHANGED RELATIVELY FAST AND HE JERKING WAS MORE APPARENT. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER IT WAS FOUND TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. THE PROBLEM WAS A CRACK WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER IN THE RADIATOR CAUSING INTERMIXING BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION AND THE COOLANT. THE DEALER REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY. SINCE MY VEHICLE HAD BETWEEN 80000 AND 90000 MILES I WAS IN THE $2500 COPAY RANGE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT THE ECM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY ADVISED THAT HER VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,000.

COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER AND NEED TO BE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP, THEN DEALER DIAGNOSE, THE PROBLEM AS A FAILED TRANSMISSION FLUID, COOLER LOCATED IN DE RADIATOR ASSEMBLY THAT ALLOWED COOLANT TO MIX WITH AND CONTAMINATE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID,RESULTING IN DAMAGED INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS AND A DAMAGED INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COMPUTER. *TR

RADIATOR FAILED COOLANT LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR NEED TO BE REPLACED. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND NEVER INFORMED ME OF THIS ISSUE. IF I WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM I WOULD HAVE HAD RADIATOR REPLACED. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. I AM SURE MORE SIMILAR SITUATIONS WILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR UNTIL THERE IS AN OFFICIAL RECALL. WHO LOSES? THE CUSTOMER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. NISSAN NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED THE INCORRECT FUEL LEVEL AND THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,000.

RADIATOR FAILED CAUSING TRANSMISSION FLUID TO LEAK INTO RADIATOR AND VICE VERSA (ANTIFREEZE INTO TRANSMISSION). CAR RUMBLES REALLY BAD AND SHIFTS HARD. HAD TO REPLACE RADIATOR AND FLUSH TRANSMISSION SO ABOUT $600 FOR A PROBLEM THAT NISSAN SHOULD FIX. *TR
