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.

THE DRIVER SIDE STRUT TOWER ON MY 2001 PATHFINDER COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. THE STRUT TOWER WAS DISCONNECTED FROM THE BODY DUE TO THE RUST. WHEN THE TOWER FINALLY LET GO, THE STEERING WAS AFFECTED CAUSING ISSUES STEERING THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM WAS ONLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RUST ON THE DRIVER SIDE UNDER CARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE, WHEREAS THE PASSENGER SIDE IS NOT AS BAD. THE DISCONNECTION OF THE TOWER CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END SUSPENSION COMPONENTS.

I HAVE A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER. IT SWAY FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHILE I'M DRIVING. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE FAST OR SLOW. FIRST, I CHANGED THE FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER. NOT MUCH IMPROVEMENT, THEN THE BALL JOINT. IT IMPROVED ABOUT HALFWAY. BUT NOW AFTER ABOUT A MONTH, IT'S EVEN WORSE. I DID SOME RESEARCH IN THE INTERNET AND SURPRISE, I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF PATHFINDER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I KNOW MY CAR IS OLD BUT QUITE A FEW HAVE THE SAME ISSUE BEFORE THEY HIT 100K MILES. I THINK THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM OR PARTS PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE RECALL. SO FAR, I DIDN'T SEE ANY DEATH OR ACCIDENT REPORTED BECAUSE OF THIS BUT I'M SURE IT'S BOUND TO HAPPEN. IT'S DANGEROUS DRIVING THIS THING AROUND WITH THE SWAYING SPECIALLY IN HIGH SPEED. *TR

I NOTICED A LITTLE PULL IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN TAKING A TURN, SO I STOPPED IN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AN WAS ADVISED THAT THE SHOCK TOWER HAS FAILED. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NISSAN HAS KNOW ABOUT AN HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. I DID CONTACT NISSAN AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD PAY $1100. TOWARDS THE REPAIR, WHICH WAS $2100.00, I TAILED THEM THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. LUCKY FOR ME AN OTHER PEOPLE I WASN'T DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AN HAD THIS FAIL COMPLETELY. THE WHEEL WOULD HAVE FALLEN OFF AN HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM AND HAVE DECIDED NOT TO TAKE ACTION. I HAVE ARGUED WITH NISSAN, THEY DO KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM, OTHERWISE WHY WOULD THEY BE WILLING TO PAY WITHOUT LOTS OF QUESTIONS. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2001 AND HAVE DONE ALL THE OIL CHANGES, BRAKES, TIRES, IT IS IN GREAT SHAPE, AN THIS FAILED BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM IN WORKMANSHIP. YOU CAN FIND MANY PEOPLE THAT OWN THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE REALLY GETS HURT OR KILLED WITH A SHOCK TOWER FAILURE. *TR

NO CRASH YET BUT I DO HAVE A FISH TAILING, SIDE TO SIDE WOBBLING THAT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN DEFECT FROM NISSAN. I OWN A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER WITH 99,000 MILES AND AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MILES AN HOUR, THE TRUCK WILL START WOBBLING SIDE TO SIDE DUE TO A RUT IN THE ROAD OR A GUST OF WIND. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SEVERAL NISSAN MECHANICS, THE REAR UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS ARE BAD AND DETERIORATE PREMATURELY, CAUSING THE DANGEROUS WOBBLE IN THE TRUCK. THE COST TO REPLACE THE BUSHINGS IS $700.00 PLUS AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED. VERY POOR DESIGN WHICH WILL END UP CAUSING SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES. THANK YOU. *TR
Suspension, Jul 25, 2008
REAR SUSPENSION SWAYS VIOLENTLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHEN DRIVING OVER 50 MILES PER HOUR, ESPECIALLY WHEN CRUISE CONTROL IS USED. SEVERAL MECHANICS COULD NOT DIAGNOSE PROBLEM SO IT HAS CONTINUED TO GET WORSE OVER PAST 2 YEARS. NOW, THROUGH INTERNET, LEARN THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL, REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF BUSHINGS AND IS KNOWN TO THE MANUFACTURER WHO HAS TAKEN NO ACTION. *TR

I HAVE 2WD NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CAR HAS BEEN VOBBELING LEFT TO RIGHT AND RIGHT TO LEFT AT SPEEDS OF 50MPH AND OVER. SOME OF THE SYMPTOMS ARE EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE REAR AXLE ESPECIALLY DURING MODERATE ACCELERATION OR DECELERATION. A VEHICLE PULLING AT A CONSTANT SPEED EXCESSIVE SWAY AND ROCKING MOTION IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THERE ARE ABOUT 100 + PEOPLE THAT I FOUND ON ONE WEBSITE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.NET/FORUM/AUTOS/T5LSTPR50NPCO9CTL THERE ARE MANY OTHER SITES LIKE THE ABOVE SITE WHERE PEOPLE HAVE POSTED THEIR PROBLEM AND SOLUTION. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER 4X4 SE. FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS NOW I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE HANDLING OF THIS TRUCK. THE CAR BEGINS TO SHAKE EXTREMELY HARD BETWEEN 55 - 65 MPH. THE SHAKING IS SO BAD IT IS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE STEERING BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES JUST AS MUCH. I HAVE SEEN THAT IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE GONE TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED. THEY TOLD ME IT COULD HAVE BEEN THE ALIGNMENT OR THE BALANCING OF THE WHEELS AND I PAYED TO GET THAT DONE TO NO AVAIL. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS EVEN WITH NEW WHEELS AND TIRES. I DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT IT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS TO SOMEBODY BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. *AK
