NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2006 ARMADA, TITAN, INFINITI QX56 AND MODEL YEAR 2005-2006 FRONTIER, PATHFINDER AND XTERRA VEHICLES. THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (IPDM) ASSEMBLY CONTAINS AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) RELAY THAT HAS A DIODE FOR ELECTRICAL CURRENT NOISE REDUCTION. THE ECM RELAY MAY ALLOW SILICON VAPOR TO FORM AND, OVER TIME, THE SILICON EVAPORATES FROM THE DIODE MOLDING WHICH CAUSES SILICON OXIDE TO DEVELOP ON THE ECM RELAY CONTACT DUE TO ARCING.
THIS COULD CAUSE ENGINE STALLING INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ECM RELAY INSIDE THE IPDM ASSEMBLY. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 6, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

WE BOUGHT THIS SUV BACK IN 2005 FROM MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER ISSUES LIKE A FAULTY PEDAL WHICH BACK ON THAT DATE WHEN IT FAILED, IT ALMOST MADE ME CRASH. THEY DID FIX THAT PROBLEM AT MY EXPENSE SINCE THEY STATED I WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. NOW, MY CAR IS 10 YEARS OLD WITH 90K MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION JUST DIED WHILE DRIVING TO MY RELATIVES WEDDING. I DID THE REGULAR TRANS FLUID SERVICE AND A FEW HOURS LATER THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. I TOOK IT BACK TO NISSAN TO GET IT CHECKED. THEY WANT ME TO PAY OVER $5,000.00 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. I ASKED THEM WHY THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT ONLY 90K MILES. THEY DID NOT GIVE ME ANY SPECIFIC EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENED. THEY ONLY STATED THAT "THIS TYPE OF PATHFINDERS HAVE HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS" AND THAT WAS IT. I ASKED IF THERE WAS ANY RECALL REGARDING THIS ISSUE, THE GUY SAID NO. I AM LEFT WITH NO OTHER CHOICE THAN TO PAY THE 5 GRAND TO GET MY CAR FIXED. THEY SHOULD NOT BE SELLING FAULTY CARS TO CONSUMERS!!! I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN VEHICLE EVER AGAIN!

I TAKE MY CAR IN TO NISSIAN REGULARLY AND TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF IT AND DOESN'T HAVE THAT MANY MILES ON IN FOR HOW LONG I HAVE OWNED IT. I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER. JUST HAD IT SERVICED IN FEBUARY, ALL WAS PERFECT. IT STARTED MAKING A AWFUL WHEN I G NOISE WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL, TURNS OUT THE TIMING CHAIN IS OUT AND THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR SOME NISSIAN CARS FOR THIS NOT ALL. I CALLED NISSIAN CORP AND THEY SAID SINCE I HAVE NO WARRANTY THEY WERE NOT GOING TO HELP, EVEN THOUGH YOU GUYS HAVE ISSUED A SAFETY WARNING (NDTB07-042). THERE ALSO IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSIAN FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR ALL NISSIAN. CARS/TRUCKS.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER OFF ROAD ON APRIL30TH 2016, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STALLED AND SHUT DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY, WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS AN EXTREME DANGEROUS LIFE THREATING SCARY SITUATION FOR MY CHILDREN ANY MYSELF. CONSEQUENTLY, I WAS FORCED TO GET HE VEHICLE TOWED AND WAS INFORMED BY THE MECHANIC, THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED AND NO LONGER IS OPERATIVE, EVEN THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION HAS AND CONTINUED TO BE PROPERLY MAINTAINED PRIOR TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILING INCIDENT ON APRIL 30TH, 2016.

2005 PATHFINDER DRIVES GREAT AT LOWER SPEEDS, BUT OCCASIONALLY SOUNDS AND FEELS LIKE I'M GOING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS AT SPEEDS HIGHER THAN 40 MPH. TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND WAS TOLD THAT WE HAVE THE WELL KNOWN ISSUE WHERE THE RADIATOR CRACKS AND LEAKS INTO THE TRANSMISSION, RUINING BOTH. THE CAR HAS 95,000 MILES ON IT AND NISSAN WILL DO NOTHING TO HELP. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WANTED $6,500 TO FIX. NOW I'M READING THAT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED WITH A WORK AROUND. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED, OR AT THE VERY LEAST, INFORMATION GIVEN ABOUT THE WORK AROUND TO FIX PRIOR TO THE TRANS GOING OUT.

MY DAUGHTER TOOK OUR BABY TO THE DAYCARE AND WAS ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE BITTER COLD IN OHIO AS SHE RAN OUT GAS. SHE CALLED AAA WHO SHOWED 2 HOURS LATER. IN THE MEANTIME SHE WAS WITHOUT ANY HEAT ON THE HIGHWAY IN12 TEMP. ALTHOUGH THE GAUGE SHOWED 1/2 OF TANK OF GAS, THE CAR WAS EMPTY. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH MY TO NJ COUNTING THE MILES SO I WOULD NOT RAN OUT OF GAS. I HAD IT FIXED AT THE WINDSOR NISSAN. THEY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB. THE PROBLEM IS THAT I PAID $500+ FOR A PROBLEM THAT WAS RECALLED. THIS HAS BEEN PUBLISHED EVEN BY THE US DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMIN. WROTE A LETTER (I CAN PROVIDE) ON MARCH 3 2010, INFORMING NISSAN OF THE DANGER OF THIS ISSUE. THE REF NUMBER IS 10V-075 SUBJECT FUEL SYSTEM GASOLINE STORAGE AUXILIARY TANK.

ANOTHER REF NUMBER REGARDING THE NISSAN FUEL GASOLINE SYSTEM NUMBER- 10V-075000, AND ANOTHER SERVICE BULLETIN NTB-07-069C, ALL WITH THE SAME ISSUE ABOUT THE GAUGE BEING FAULTY AND READING THAT THE CAR HAS GAS WHEN IT DOESN'T. MY DAUGHTER WAS LUCKY THAT SHE HAD JUST DROPPED OFF THE BABY AND WHEN THE CAR RAN OUT OF GAS SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENT. HOWEVER, BEING PUT THROUGH THE EXPERIENCE OF BEING IN OHIO IN WINTER WITHOUT HEAT IN A COLD CAR FOR 2 HOURS IS UNFORGIVABLE!! ALTHOUGH, I CALLED HEADQUARTER SEVERAL TIMES, THEY ACTED LIKE THEY DID NOT NOT ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND REFUSED TO REFUND MY MONEY BACK. I HAVE ALL THE SERVICES BULLETIN AND WILL BE MORE THEN HAPPY TO SHARE, ALTHOUGH NISSAN CAN CALL US DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION.PRODUCT_OR_SERVICE: HAD WORK DONE TO FUEL SYSTEM. I FILLED A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB#91355526 FOR NOTHING. PLS HELP!!

THE COOLANT FROM THE RADIATOR LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION IN TURNED DESTROYING THE TRANSMISSION. SHORTED THE SAFETY FEATURE IN THE TRANSMISSION TO WHERE IT WOULD NOT START. I WAS STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THE VECHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. NISSAN TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A 100K AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. I RUINED MY CREDIT AND 2 YEARS LATER I AM STILL HAVING MY CHECK GARNISHED FOR THIS HORRIBLE RECALL.. THEY REPOED THE VEHICLE AND SOLD IT FOR SCRAP AND LEFT ME HOLDING THE BILL BECAUSE I COULD AFFORD A $7000 FIX!!! SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE HORRIBLE RECALL
Power train, Feb 15, 2016
APPROX. 1 YEAR AGO I NOTICED THAT MY ENGINE COOLANT HAD TRANS FLUID IN IT SO I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I THEN TOOK THE PATHFINDER INTO HAMILTON NISSAN IN HAGERSTOWN MD. THEY REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND INSTALLED A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO I NOTICED THAT THE PATHFINDER WAS NOT SHIFTING INTO OVERDRIVE. NOW THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT INTO OVERDRIVE AND NOW SLIPS IN AND OUT OF 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I WAS ALMOST T-BONED THIS MORNING BECAUSE THE PATHFINDER WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR WHILE THE TRANS WAS IN DRIVE, WHICH IS WHY I AM SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT.
