Power train, Jul 27, 2015
TRANSMISSION FAILED DUE TO COOLANT LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION. HAD MY WHOLE FAMILY WHEN TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT DON'T WANT TO IMAGE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS GOING FASTER THAN 35 MPH. COST TO REPAIR $5800. DANGEROUSLY UNACCEPTABLE.
Power train, Engine, Jul 21, 2015
AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY IT STARTED TO SHUDDER AND SHAKE AND THEN FINALLY COMPLETELY TURNED OFF ON THE HIGHWAY. ONCE I GOT IT STARTED AGAIN IT WOULD ONLY GO ABOUT 20MPH I WAS ABLE TO MOVE OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND EXIT THE HIGHWAY. ONCE WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD US THAT THE RADIATOR HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND ALSO THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE TWO CATALYCTIC CONVERTERS. THE TOTAL REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS WOULD COST ME $8000 AS I WOULD ALSO NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. WE REPLACED THE RADIATOR BUT OF COURSE THAT IS ONLY HALF THE PROBLEM. I STILL OWE ABOUT $13K ON THE VEHICLE, HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR 8 MONTHS AND AM NOW STUCK BECAUSE I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND I CANT GET RID OF THE TRUCK KNOWING THIS PROBLEM.

RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSING PERMANENT TRANSMISSION FAILURE.
Other or unspecified, Jul 10, 2015
07 PATHFINDER (PF) AUTO, 05/30/15 CAME OUT TO FIND PF LEAKING. RADIATOR LEAKING AN ODD FLUID, OPENED TRANSMISSION CAP AND SIMILAR FLUID BUBBLED OUT. DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR, LOOKED ONLINE/CALLED MECHANIC. FINALLY CALLED A NISSAN DEALER AND 2 TRANSMISSION PLACES, AND AS SOON AS I SAID OUR COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID ARE FROTHY & CHOCOLATE MILK LIKE EVERY PLACE KNEW WE NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR, ETC. A YEAR AGO I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AT A NON-NISSAN DEALERSHIP, AND BROUGHT IT BACK THEN BECAUSE I NOTICED A LAG/SHUTTER IN THE SHIFTING SOMETIMES. THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, SAID IT WAS JUST A FUNCTION OF THE OVERDRIVE, AND NOT AN ISSUE. I HAVE CONTINUED TO HAVE A LAG/SHUTTER OCCASIONALLY, BUT I HAVE THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. I WAS NEVER INFORMED THAT MY TRANSMISSION COULD BE COMPROMISED BC OF THE RADIATOR ISSUE, & NEVER THOUGHT THE CAR TO BE A DANGER TO ANYONE. MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND 2015, LESS THAN A WEEK BEFORE THE LEAK REFERENCED ABOVE, I HAD MY ENTIRE FAMILY IN THE CAR (SISTER & HER HUSBAND & THEIR 9 MONTH OLD BABY, MY FATHER, MY BROTHER & HIS 5 MONTHS PREGNANT WIFE) & NOTICED THE CAR WAS HAVING MORE THAN NORMAL SHIFTING TROUBLED & A LONGER LAG. WE WERE MAKING OUR ANNUAL TRIP TO THE BOURNE MASSACHUSETTS VETERANS CEMETERY MEMORIAL DAY EVENT, WHICH REQUIRES CROSSING THE BOURNE BRIDGE AND NAVIGATING SEVERAL BUSY ROTARIES. LOOKING ONLINE AT OTHER PERSONS EXPERIENCES, I KNOW I AM LUCKY THAT THIS RADIATOR/TRANS ISSUE MANIFESTED IN THE SAFETY OF MY DRIVEWAY WITH NO ONE IN THE VEHICLE. WHY IS NISSAN SO LAX TO COMMUNICATE TO OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES THAT THERE IS A HIGH LIKELIHOOD THAT YOUR TRANSMISSION WILL BE COMPROMISED AND THAT CERTAIN INSPECTIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT ON A REGULAR BASIS TO MAKE SURE NOTHING HAPPENS TO YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES? IF DOESNT TELL ME, HOW AM I AND OTHERS SUPPOSED TO KNOW TO BE CONCERNED WITH CERTAIN WARNING SIGNS?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING INTO THE RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT IT WAS MOTOR OIL LEAKING INTO THE RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
Power train, Jul 9, 2015
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS AND THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND THE RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000.
Engine, Jul 1, 2015
BEGINNING IN NOVEMBER 2014, THE HEATER WOULD NOT BLOW OUT WARM OR HOT AIR IF THE CAR WAS NOT TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE. AT SPEEDS BELOW 50MPG, ONLY COOL OR COLD AIR WOULD BLOW OUT OF THE HEATER VENTS AND AT AN IDLE, ONLY COLD AIR WOULD BE EMITTED. THE RADIATOR WAS FLUSHED THREE TIMES IN AN EFFORT TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM. OUR MECHANIC THOUGHT THERE COULD BE A BLOCKAGE IN THE LINE DUE TO THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. ONCE FLUSHED, THE HEAT WOULD WORK FOR ABOUT 45 DAYS. THERE WERE MONTHS OF MY DRIVING TO WORK WITHOUT ANY REAL HEAT IN THE WINTER OF 2014. AFTER FLUID CHANGES AND RADIATOR FLUSHES, THE 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER NOW HAS 111,000 MILES ON IT. THE AIR CONDITIONING IS WORKING THIS SUMMER, BUT TOWARDS THE END OF MAY 2015, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED "JUMPING". THIS USUALLY OCCURS AROUND 40-45 MPH. THE ENGINE WILL REV AT A HIGH RPM WHILE TRAVELING DOWN AN INCLINE OR A HILL. THE TRANSMISSION FEELS AS THOUGH IT IS "GOING OUT" AND UPON READING REVIEWS ON YOUR SITE, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN YOU CAN HEAR THE TRANSMISSION "CLUNK" INTO GEAR WHEN STARTING OR STOPPING THE ENGINE.
Power train, Jul 1, 2015
I WAS JUST INFORMED BY A FELLOW NISSAN OWNER ABOUT HER TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. WHY WAS I NOT NOTIFIED BY NISSAN THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE? NO CARD, LETTER... NOTHING! I WOULD HAVE HAD MY CAR INSPECTED FOR DEFECT IF I KNEW!!

WE PURCHASED OUR 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER ON MAY 21 OF THIS YEAR. TODAY MAKES 39 DAYS WE'VE HAD IT. ON THE 32 DAY WE NOTICED IT WAS HAVING SOME ROUGHNESS IN THE TRANSMISSION WHEN CHANGING GEARS. IT FELT LIKE WE WERE RUNNING OVER REALLY ROUGH ROADS OR RUMBLE STRIPS. IT CONTINUED TO GET WORSE THE LONGER WE DROVE IT. THEN AROUND A WEEK AGO I PUT IT IN REVERSE AND IT CONTINUED TO ROLL FORWARD. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE HOME TO INFORM MY HUSBAND. WHEN HE CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IT APPEARED TO BE EMPTY. WHEN HE FURTHER CHECKED IT AND CLEANED THE DIP STICK IT WAS A TANISH COLORED LIQUID THAT WAS SHOWING UP. I WENT TO GOOGLE AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHERS WITH THIS SAME OR SIMILAR VEHICLE WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, AND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A LEAK IN A RADIATOR HOSE THAT RUNS THRU THE TRANSMISSION AND LEAKS FLUIDS BACK AND FORTH. MY HUSBAND WENT TO CHECK THE RADIATOR AND SURE ENOUGH THERE IS TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE RADIATOR AND IT APPEARED IN THE ENGINE AS WELL. SO NOW WE HAVE TRANSMISSION FLUID, WATER, AND ANTIFREEZE IN OUR TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR AND ENGINE. NISSAN NEEDS TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. ITS CLEAR THAT THIS IS A FLAW IN THEIR WORKMANSHIP. WE WERE TOLD BY NISSAN TO BRING OUR PATHFINDER IN FOR AN EVALUATION AND BE PREPARED TO PAY 2,500.00 DOLLARS. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE ARE PAYING A PAYMENT ALREADY ON A VEHICLE WE HAVE HAD FOR ONE MONTH. WE CANT AFFORD THIS KIND OF REPAIR. SO NOW WERE STUCK WITH A CAR WE CANT EVEN DRIVE.....UPDATED 09/03/15 *BF

TOWED MY CAR TO THE LOCAL SHOP AND FOUND OUT THAT THE RADIATOR HAS AN INTERNAL CRACK AND LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. BURNED OUT THE TCM AND NOW I AM GOING TO HAVE TO PAY MORE THAN $5000 TO GET IT FIXED. CALLED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS AT ALL.

THE DEALER I WORK FOR HAD CHECKED MY VEHICLE SINCE IT HAS BEEN LEAKING PINK FLUID FROM MY ENGINE TURNS OUT THEY FOUND ON MY 20007 NISSAN PATHFINDER A COOLANT IN TRANSMISSION MEANING THERE IS AN INTERNAL TRANSMISSION CROSS CONTAMINATION COOLER FAILURE. BOTTOM LINE THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND FIXED ME HOSES FOR THE POWER STEERING FLUID COSTING ME OVER $5300.00 WITH A HUGE DEALERSHIP. I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 16, 2015 FROM A PRIVATE DEALER AND NOW I AM STUCK WITH A HUGE BILL TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE A AWARE OF NATIONALLY. THIS VEHICLE'S CARFAX IS AWESOME AND NO ENGINE ISSUES WHICH I MADE IT MY BUSINESS TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS OKAY WITH THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF THIS...WHY DO I HAVE SUFFER BEING WITHOUT A CAR AGAIN AS A SINGLE MOTHER OF THREE THIS IS NOT RIGHT.

THE DEALER FOUND ON MY 20007 NISSAN PATHFINDER A COOLANT IN TRANSMISSION AND TRANS FLUID IN RADIATOR WHICH MEANS THERE IS A CROSS CONTAMINATION AND AN INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COOLER FAILURE. BOTTOM LINE THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR COSTING ME OVER $5300.00. IN RESEARCHING CHEAPER PLACES, I CAME ABOUT WITH A LAW SUIT ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE AGAINST NISSAN. I ALSO FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS FROM SEVERAL PEOPLE AND THE DEALERS ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY MY LOCAL MECHANIC THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. I DON'T KNOW WHY NISSAN DIDN'T OFFER A RECALL ON THE XTERRAS, AND PATHFINDERS AND HELP PEOPLE LIKE ME, NOT SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON THESE VEHICLES. I AM STILL PAYING FOR THIS CAR, HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR LESS THAN 3 YEARS AND BOUGHT IT PRE OWNED. I BROUGHT IT SEVERAL TIMES TO HUNTINGTON BEACH DEALER IN CA, FOR THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND NOT EVEN ONCE, I WAS OFFERED TO EXTEND MY WARRANTY, OR OFFERED TO LOOK AT MY RADIATOR AND FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE IT BECAME A BIG ISSUE. I CONTACTED HEADQUARTERS AND I WAS TOLD I DON'T QUALIFY FOR THE "EXTENDED WARRANTY" IT ENDS AT 100K MILES AND MY CAR IS OVER 124K MILES. ALSO, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $3K OF MY MONEY BEFORE THE DEALER WOULD COVER ANY MAJOR REPAIRS... REALLY???? IS THIS HELPING OUT SOMEONE? A LOT OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS OWN NISSANS AND I HAVE SPREAD THE WORD OF HOW BAD THESE CARS ARE, AND WHEN WE LOOK FOR HELP, THEY SLAM THE DOOR AT OUR FACES. THIS IS NOT RIGHT, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED AND NISSAN IS MAKING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FROM HARD WORKING PEOPLE LIKE ME, FIXING PROBLEMS, THEY SHOULD HAVE FIXED IN THE FIRST PLACE. I HAVE A 6 YEAR OLD AND PREGNANT NOW, AND COMMUTE OVER 70 MILES BACK AND FORTH EVERY DAY, THEY ARE LUCKY MY CAR DIDN'T STOP ON THE FREEWAY AND CAUSED A BIG ACCIDENT.I WOULD BE SUING THEM NOW.

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE A YEAR AGO AT 79,000 MILES. IN JANUARY OF 2015, I HIT THE 100,000 MILE MARK AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. LOUD AND JERKY SHIFTING AND SMELLING FOUL IN THE AIR CONDITIONER. NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE AND SINCE I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, (100,000 MILES) THAT THEY WEREN'T LIABLE. HE SAID I COULD DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT SHOULDN'T BREAK DOWN FOR ANOTHER FEW THOUSAND MILES. SO I JUST PARKED IT. I WOULD ONLY DRIVE IT IF I ABSOLUTELY HAD NO OTHER CHOICE. FRIDAY, MAY 15 2015 I WAS COMING HOME FROM A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY BROKE DOWN. THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AND I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR WITH ME. AT 40 MPH, THE RPM WAS AT ALMOST 5,000. I PULLED OVER TO CALL MY HUSBAND AND WHEN WE PUT IT IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE, IT WOULDN'T GO INTO REVERSE. I HAD TO TOW IT HOME AND IT'S COMPLETELY BROKEN DOWN. I DON'T HAVE 4,000 TO SPEND ON A TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR.
Other or unspecified, May 13, 2015
THE VEHICLE HAD TRANSMISSION TROUBLES AND WAS TAKEN INTO A REPAIR FACILITY. THERE IS A CRACK IN THE RADIATOR WHICH HAS CAUSED ANTIFREEZE TO GET INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE RADIATOR. CAR STUTTERS AND JUMPS AND IS VERY SCARY TO DRIVE. WILL COST OVER $4500 TO REPAIR.
Power train, Other or unspecified, Fuel/propulsion system, May 12, 2015
I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER THAT STARTED MAKING LOUD RUMBLING NOISES WHILE DRIVING. WE REPLACED THE RADIATOR AFTER THE CAR OVER HEATED AND A MILKY SUBSTANCE LEAKED. WE'VE HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED TWICE. WE WERE TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT THE RADIATOR LIQUID MIXED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTING TO FIND THAT THERE ARE SO MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND THAT NISSAN IS DOING NOTHING TO HELP.
Air bags, May 10, 2015
NOTICED THE RED AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHING. TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND THEY INFORMED ME OF A RECALL NOTICE ON THE FRONT CRASH ZONE SENSOR AND ADVISED ME TO CONTACT MY DEALERSHIP. I'M WONDERING HOW TO PROCEED WITH REPAIR/REPLACEMENT.
