2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER Complaints

THIS SUB HAS A PROBLEM WHEN SPEED AFTER 35 MPH. THE ENGINE HAS TO GO HIGH REVOLUTION 4500 OR 5000 RPM WICH IS NOT NORMAL. TO KEEP AT 50MPH .THE TRAMISION DOESN'T GEAR PROPERLY. I TOOK TO NISSAN DEALER THEY SAID IS THE TRAMISION HAS WATER FRON THE RADIATOR. THE COOLANT MAJESTIC THE TRAMISION FAIL. IT COST OVER 5000.00 FOR RAPAIR .IT NEED NEW RADIATOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY ONE QUARTER OF FUEL IN THE TANK; HOWEVER, THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

I'M A OWNER OF A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THIS VEHICLE HAS MAJOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES. VEHICLE SHUTTERS AND JERKS WHILE DRIVING 20 TO 30 MPH!!

RADIATOR COOLANT LEAK INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSED COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING ON A 6 LANE HIGHWAY. ABILITY TO ACCELERATE OR MAINTAIN SPEED CEASED WHEN PRESSING GAS PEDAL. COASTED ON SLIGHT DOWNWARD HILL FOR 1/4 OF A MILE OR A LITTLE MORE ALLOWING TIME TO TURN ONTO A SIDE STREET WHERE VEHICLE STOPPED COMPLETELY.

DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION COOLANT SYSTEM CAUSED TRANSMISSION TO "SLIP" MAKING IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

THE TIMING CHAIN IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN USA. MY TIMING CHAIN HAS TO BE REPLACED AT MY COST DUE TO ITS FAULTY DESIGN. ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO THE TIMING CHAIN WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING, LEFT MY WIFE STRANDED. THIS ITEM NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY NISSAN AS THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE JUST AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRES.

IN 2012, SOON AFTER WE PURCHASED OUR USED 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER, WE KNEW IT WAS A MISTAKE. NOT ONLY DID THE FUEL INDICATOR NOT WORK (NOTICED THE DAY WE DROVE IT OFF THE LOT) THE SUV JUST DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN 100 DEGREE WEATHER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS BECAUSE THE FUEL INDICATOR SAYS I HAVE FUEL, BUT THE LIGHT WOULD IMMEDIATELY COME ON, AND THE CAR WOULD CUT OFF & LOCK UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT! FAST FORWARD TO LAST YEAR, 2015, WE STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WHEN SHIFTING INTO AND OUT OF PARK/DRIVE/REVERSE. THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND SOMETIMES WOULDN'T EVEN CHANGE GEARS, JUST KEEP REVVING UP THE ENGINE AND NOT GOING ANYWHERE. IT HAS LEFT MY CHILDREN AND ME STRANDED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SINCE THEN. FINALLY, ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, THE PATHFINDER DECIDED TO NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK AT ALL AFTER CRANKED. TODAY, 9/14/16, THE TRANSMISSION LEFT ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF HEAVY 5 O'CLOCK TRAFFIC. I BARELY HAD IT PULLED OFF THE ROAD WHEN I ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED! THE TRANSMISSION WON'T CHANGE GEARS, WON'T PROPEL THE CAR FORWARD (OR BACKWARDS) AND THE SHOP SAID IT NEEDED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION, AND MAYBE A NEW RADIATOR! I AM A STUDENT AND MY HUSBAND IS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT - WE CERTAINLY DON'T HAVE AN EXTRA $4,000 LYING AROUND FOR REPAIRS TO A VEHICLE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED! SO, IT IS PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY, COMPLETELY IMMOBILE AND WE HAVE A CAR PAYMENT COMING UP NEXT WEEK (AND EVERY MONTH AFTERWARDS). WE ARE UNDERWATER, STILL OWING $8,000 FOR A CAR WE THOUGHT WE'D DRIVE FOREVER, THAT IS VALUED AT AROUND $4,000 ON A GOOD DAY WITH NO TRANSMISSION ISSUES. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE! NISSAN NEEDS TO REPAIR OUR CAR ASAP!

TIMING CHAIN IS MESSING UP WHICH ITS CLEAR THAT ALL NISSAN PATHFINDERS MADE FROM 2004-2010 HAVE THAT PROBLEM AS WELL AS THE AUTOMATIC WINDOWS NOT WORKING GOING UP OR DOWN WHEN USING AUTOMATIC AS WELL AS PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT GOING OFF RANDOMLY. OH IF IT HELPS I WORKED AT NISSAN NORTH AMERICA MANUFACTURING AND I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW MANAGERS WOULD SEND DEFECTED PARTS TO THE LINE FOR ASSEMBLY BECAUSE THEY WOULD ALWAYS SAY "QUANTITY OVER QUALITY". ITS A SHAME AND I HOPE THAT THIS WILL HELP PUSH TO HOLD NISSAN RESPONSIBLE TO FIX WHAT THEY ALREADY KNEW WAS BAD.

PAINT JOB IS IN THE MANUFACTURE APPLICATION. HAS BEEN VERIFIED THOUGH DIFFERENT AUTO BODY COMPANY. NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. CAN'T GET ANY HELP. PAINT IS CHIPPING AWAY NOT FADING.

VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE BADLY WHILE DRIVING AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. WHEN TAKEN TO A MECHANIC TO FIX ISSUE, WE FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD TURNED PINK. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT AT FLUID AND COOLANT HAD MIXED TOGETHER. WE HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR REPLACED.
