NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 1996-2004 PATHFINDER AND MODEL YEAR 1997-2003 INFINITI QX4 VEHICLES ORIGINALLY SOLD, OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN, CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, IOWA, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, MASSACHUSETTS, MAINE, MARYLAND, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, WASHINGTON D.C., WEST VIRGINIA AND WISCONSIN. IN AREAS OF THE COUNTRY IN WHICH HEAVY CONCENTRATIONS OF ROAD SALT ARE USED, A MIXTURE OF SNOW/WATER AND SALT MAY ENTER AN ASSEMBLY LOCATION HOLE IN THE UPPER STRUT HOUSING, CAUSING WATER TO COLLECT AT THE MATING SURFACE OF THE STRUT HOUSING PANEL AND THE INNER HOOD LEDGE ASSEMBLY. OVER TIME, THIS SNOW/WATER AND SALT INTRUSION MAY RESULT IN CORROSION OF THE STRUT TOWER HOUSING IN SOME SUBJECT VEHICLES.
THE STRUT HOUSING MAY CRACK AND PULL AWAY FROM THE INNER HOOD LEDGE ASSEMBLY. THIS MAY LEAD TO GRINDING NOISES, INCREASED STEERING EFFORT, AND POSSIBLY THE STEERING COLUMN TO BREAK, RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
NISSAN WILL INSPECT THE STRUT HOUSING AND REPAIR THE VEHICLES AS NECESSARY, FREE OF CHARGE. AN INTERIM NOTIFICATION LETTER WAS SENT OUT IN MAY 2011. THE SECOND NOTICE WAS MAILED ON JULY 25, 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

Fuel system, gasoline, storage, tank assembly, filler pipe and capSep 18, 2007
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES ORIGINALLY SOLD IN OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE STATES OF CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, IOWA, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, KENTUCKY, MASSACHUSETTS, MAINE, MARYLAND, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, TENNESSEE, VERMONT, VIRGINIA, WEST VIRGINIA , WISCONSIN AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, DURING THE COATING PROCESS OF THE FUEL FILLER TUBE ASSEMBLY, AN INSUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF COATING MAY HAVE BEEN APPLIED AT THE LOWER MOUNTING BRACKET. THIS COULD RESULT IN AN OPENING IN THE COATING WHICH CAN ALLOW WATER TO ENTER AND MAKE CONTACT WITH THE BARE METAL OF THE TUBE.
THIS MAY RESULT IN SURFACE RUST BUT NOT PERFORATION OF THE TUBE. HOWEVER, IN THOSE AREAS OF THE COUNTRY WHICH USE HEAVY CONCENTRATIONS OF ROAD SALT IN THE WINTER, IF A MIXTURE OF SNOW/WATER AND SALT MAKES CONTACT WITH THE BARE METAL, CORROSION MAY OCCUR TO A DEGREE WHICH RESULTS IN PERFORATION OF THE TUBE. IN THIS CASE FUEL LEAKAGE MAY OCCUR WHEN FILLING THE TANK. FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL FILLER TUBE ASSEMBLY WITH A NEW ONE WITH AN IMPROVED COATING PROCESS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 26, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

Suspension, Equipment, Jul 11, 2011
I PURCHASED A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER IN 2004. THE BOSE 6-DISC CHANGER IMMEDIATELY FAILED. THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED IT BECAUSE IT FELL WITHIN THE 30-DAY WARRANTY PERIOD. IT WORKED FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS AFTER THAT AND THEN I GOT AN ERROR MESSAGE ONE DAY WHEN I TRIED TO LOAD A CD AND IT HASN'T WORKED SINCE. LAST SPRING, I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A TIRE ROTATION AND BALANCE AND MY MECHANIC NOTED THAT THERE WAS A SLIGHT FISH-TAILING IN THE BACK WHICH WAS CAUSED BY DETERIORATION OF THE REAR BUSHINGS, AND OVER TIME, THE FISH-TAILING WOULD GET SO BAD, IT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHEN BRAKING. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN CERTAIN PATHFINDER MODELS, AND NISSAN EVEN CORRECTED THE PROBLEM IN FUTURE MODELS OF THE PATHFINDER ONCE THE PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE POSTS TO THIS WEBSITE AS WELL AS OTHERS REGARDING BOTH OF THESE ISSUES IN THE 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER. HOW CAN NISSAN NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT OF THIS FAULTY EQUIPMENT? THE REAR BUSHING PROBLEM IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD, AND I PRAY FOR NISSAN'S SAKE NO ONE IS EVER KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE, BECAUSE A GOOD ATTORNEY WILL HAVE A FIELD DAY IN COURT WITH THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. IS NHTSA EVER GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? BASED ON AN ARTICLE I READ LOCATED AT THIS WEBSITE: HTTP://WWW.WALLPAPERAMA.COM/FORUMS/NISSAN-PATHFINDER-WOBBLES-PROBLEM-ROCKS-SIDE-TO-SIDE-T6838.HTML, NISSAN HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE AT LEAST 1998 AND HAS EVEN ISSUED A SERVICE REPAIR DESCRIPTION FOR NISSAN DEALERSHIPS. THIS IS A MAJOR EXPENSIVE REPAIR. SOMEONE REALLY NEEDS TO HELP CONSUMERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TT..UPDATED 12/02/14 *BF

MY BOSE CD CHANGER IN MY 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER HASN'T BEEN WORKING IN A COUPLE OF YEARS. IT COMES UP WITH AN ERR2 MESSAGE. I KNOW IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL AND NISSAN HAS NOT RESPONDED TO ANY COMPLAINTS I'VE HAD ABOUT THIS. *TR
Equipment, Feb 18, 2009
I PURCHASED A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE 6 DISC BOSE CD PLAYER WORKED PERFECT FOR A FEW YEARS. IN 2006 IT READ ERR2. I ATTEMPTED TO RETRIEVE THE CD'S BUT THEY WOULD NOT COME OUT. AS A RESULT THE PLAYER CONTINUOUSLY CLICKED AND THEN EVENTUALLY STOPPED. NOW IT DOES NOT DO ANYTHING. I HAVE FOUND THIS PROBLEM TO BE VERY COMMON IN 2001 PATHFINDER AND INFINTIY QX4. THERE IS NOT A CD PLAYER MADE THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH BOSE THAT WILL SOUND GOOD. TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE IS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE OF THE HIGH PRICE THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MANY PEOPLE IN FORUMS THAT HAVE ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE BROKEN UNIT ONLY TO HAVE IT LAST A FEW MONTHS. I REFUSE TO THROW AWAY MONEY AND WANT TO HAVE MY UNIT REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP AT NO CHARGE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A TREND HERE WITH THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS AND I WOULD LIKE THIS MATTER TO BE HANDLED CORRECTLY. *TR
Electrical system, Equipment, Feb 15, 2009
MY COMPLAINT IS QUITE THE SAME AS I CAN SEE ALL READY LISTED ON THIS SITE. I HAVE A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER WHICH I PURCHASED IN 2004. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY SWAY BAR WHICH NO ONE ESPECIALLY THE DEALER KNOWS HOW IT GOT BENT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MY 6CD BOSE CHANGER ALSO SHUT DOWN ON ME IN 2007 JUST STOP WORKING AND NOT EJECTING CDS AND DOING A CLICK CLICK NOISE ALL THE TIME I HAVE TWO CDS IN THERE I CAN NOT REMOVE OR GET OUT. ACCORDING TO NISSAN THEY DON'T HANDLE THESE ISSUES AND DO NOT FIX THEM THEY REPLACE THE WHOLE CD CHANGER FOR $700-$800. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM AND ISSUE WITH THEM AND THEIR SISTER COMPANIES WITH THE BOSE SYSTEM THE VEHICLES ARE PROVIDED WITH WHEN YOU PURCHASE THEM. YOU DO NOT ORDER THE SYSTEM IT COMES WITH THE VEHICLE BUT THEY WONT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY NOR FIX IT. I ALSO HAD THE ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEM AND TOOK TO A MECHANIC WHOM STATED WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER CODE ON THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND HAD TO TAKE TO NISSAN BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT TOUCH THE VEHICLE AND WAS STILL UNDER MANUFACTURER WARRANTY BEING UNDER 80,000. QUOTE PER NISSAN ALL IT WAS IS AN ELECTRICAL COMPUTER UPGRADE CODE. NEEDED TO UPGRADE MY ELECTRICAL COMPUTER SOFTWARE?????? THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THEN WENT OFF WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND THEN CAME BACK ON AND STAYED ON AND NEVER SHUT OFF UNTIL NISSAN REPROGRAMMED THE SYSTEM. I ALSO HAD MY MUFFLER FALL COMPLETELY OFF FROM THE BACK END UP UNTIL THE MIDDLE PART. WAS TOTALLY RUSTED AND CAME RIGHT OFF AND OF COURSE IT FELL OFF RIGHT AFTER NISSAN PASSED ME FOR MY INSPECTION W/ EMISSIONS 30 DAYS PRIOR??? I SEE ALL THESE COMPLAINTS AND FOR YEARS AND NOTHING BEING DONE NOR ARE THEY TAKING CARE OF ANYTHING THAT IS OBVIOUSLY REPETITIOUS ON THE SITE ALL THE SAME COMMON COMPLAINTS BUT YET NISSAN NOT DOING ANYTHING NOR THIS SITE TO HELP US CONSUMERS AND HAVE NISSAN TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL OF THIS. *TR

I OWN A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER SE THAT IS CONFIGURED WITH A BOSE/CLARION 6 CD CHANGER UNIT. THE UNIT FAILED IN 2007 GIVING AN ERR 2 MESSAGE. I HAD THE UNIT REMOVED BY EMPIRE NISSAN LAKEWOOD, CO WHO SENT IT TO BE REPAIRED TWICE TO A SERVICE CONTRACTOR. BOTH TIMES THE UNIT WAS RETURNED REINSTALLED AND FAILED AGAIN. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED MANY OTHER CONSUMERS REPORTING THE EXACT SAME ERR 2 PROBLEMS WITH THEIR AUDIO SYSTEMS. *TR

Engine and engine cooling, Equipment, Aug 6, 2008
I PURCHASED AN 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER IN 2003 AND THE BOSE RADIO W/ 6 CD CLARION PLAYER. "ERR 2" CODED 3-MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED IT. I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, IT WAS REPLACED WITH A REFURBISHED SYSTEM OF THE SAME. IT IS 8/08 AND THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN AGAIN, AND NOT COVERED. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT THIS VEHICLE COULD GO THROUGH 2 RADIOS IN ONLY 63,000 MILES?? RIDICULOUS!!! NISSAN WILL NOT STAND BY THE CHEAP PARTS USED BY CLARION IN THE RADIO (AS RESEARCHED ON THE NET). I ALSO HAVE AN ECM PROBLEM, NISSAN SAYS IT NEEDS TO BE UPGRADED, BUT WILL NOT PAY FOR IT. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON CODING THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THEY TOLD ME NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CONVERTER, JUST AN ERROR WITH THE SOFTWARE IN THE ECM. SO NOW I WON'T KNOW IF THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT IS ON FOR SOME THING SERIOUS OR IT IS JUST THE CONVERTER WRONGLY CODING. *TR

MY 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER WAS PURCHASED 3 YEARS AGO. A BOSE 6-CD PLAYER CAME INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE. THE 6-CD PLAYER STOPPED WORKING, AND DISPLAYS AN ERROR MESSAGE, "ERR 2". MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THIS PROBLEM WAS ADDRESSED WITH THE NISSAN DEALER (SERVICE DEPARTMENT) IN BUENA PARK CALIFORNIA ON DECEMBER 21, AT 6:40PM. I WAS INFORMED THAT I COULD PURCHASE A NEW CD PLAYER, HOWEVER THIS WOULD BE QUITE COSTLY. THE NISSAN DEALER FURTHER STATED, WHEN A CUSTOMER WHOSE VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY HAS THIS SAME PROBLEM, THEY DO NOT REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE CD PLAYER IS REPLACED WITH ANOTHER. NO REPAIR SHOP WILL LOOK AT MY SYSTEM. APPARENTLY, THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON WITH NISSANS. OTHER THAN PURCHASING A NEW CD PLAYER, THERE HAS TO BE SOME TYPE OF CONSUMER REPAIR SHOP. NISSAN SEEMS UNCONCERNED WITH THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. *TR

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 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
