2006 Nissan Pathfinder Engine

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE BUT IT WAS MAKING A NOISE. THE CONTACT HAD TO FILL THE FUEL TANK TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE COTNACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED RECALL 10V517000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) BUT WAS INFORMED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 84,880.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS WHEN SUDDENLY, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART AND WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (IPDM). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

I HAD MY NISSAN PATHFINDER RECOMMENDED SERVICED AT THE NISSAN DEALER PERFORMED ON JUNE 26 2010. THEY ADVISED ME MY TRUCK WAS IN GOOD CONDITION. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER MY TRUCK STARTED JERKING AND I RETURNED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER INFORMED ME MY TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR WERE LEAKING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE THERE IS SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER NISSAN PATHFINDER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THE PATHFINDERS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE PATHFINDER IS JERKING AND STALLING. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW AT THE END OF 2005 AND HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER. SOUNDS LIKE I HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM MOST OF THE PEOPLE LISTED HERE HAVE. LAST WEEK WHEN TAKING IN MY CAR FOR ITS ROUTINE SERVICE I WAS TOLD THAT BOTH MY RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION ARE OUT...THEY ARE DONE AND I NEED TO REPLACE THEM. IT IS COSTING ME APPROX. 5800 AND I HAVE BEEN SHOCKED AND SURPRISED BECAUSE I HAD NO PREVIOUS OBVIOUS SIGN THAT THIS WAS GOING ON. NOT EVEN STRANGE SOUNDS, SIGNS OF GETTING OVER-HEATED OR EVEN HAVING THE SENSOR LIGHT GO ON. I MEAN, IF THE SENSOR LIGHT GOES ON FOR SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS LOW AIR PRESSURE IN MY TIRES, I WOULD ONLY ASSUME THAT FOR SOMETHING AS SERIOUS AS MY TRANSMISSION, IT WOULD LIGHT ON, TOO. APPARENTLY FLUID FROM THE RADIATOR GOT INTO THE TRANSMISSION, THAT HAS DAMAGED IT ALL AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MY VEHICLE WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 75,000 MILES...ONLY 8,000 MILES AGO, BUT NOTHING CAN BE DONE NOW AND I HAVE TO PAY. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS A GENERAL PROBLEM TO MANY NISSAN PATHFINDERS, MOSTLY YEARS 2005/2006. I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN MY VEHICLE FOR SERVICE AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT, AND NOW THIS. WORSE THING OF IT ALL, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THESE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS DEAL FREQUENTLY WITH THIS ISSUE AND HAVE DONE NOTHING ABOUT CONTACTING NISSAN'S HQ DEPT. BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE A MANUFACTURES MALFUNCTION. I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW FREQUENT MY SAME SITUATION HAS OCCURRED TO OTHER NISSAN CONSUMERS AND I STRONGLY FEEL LIKE SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. I LIVE IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, AND IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN FURTHERING SOME SORT OF INVESTIGATION OR LEGAL ACTION, PLEASE CONTACT ME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE HAVING THE VEHICLE INSPECTED, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS LEAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PERFORMING NORMALLY. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 79,000.

2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER WAS TAKEN TODAY FOR A ROUTINE YEARLY INSPECTION. ONLY ISSUE I HAVE HAD WITH IT IS THE HEATER PERIODICALLY DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY. AT THE NISSAN DEALER, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE VEHICLE IS IN NEED OF AN ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR REPLACEMENT DUE TO THE FACT THAT A "COOLING LINE IS BROKEN AND ALL ANTIFREEZE MIXED IN WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID". ESTIMATED COST IS $7000. IN ADDITION, THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDS REPLACED. THE REPAIRMAN INDICATED "MANY" PATHFINDERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. AFTER SEARCHING ON-LINE, THERE ARE MULTIPLE PEOPLE ANGRY THAT THEIR PATHFINDERS ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, YET NISSAN IS STILL NOT ASSUMING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY OF THIS. I ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE. THIS IS QUITE DISCONCERTING, AS THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD, AND I AM NOW BEING TOLD I SHOULDN'T EVEN BE DRIVING IT. THEY ARE OFFERING TO HELP ONLY BY GIVING US A GREAT DEAL ON A TRADE. HOWEVER, I NO LONGER TRUST NISSAN, AND WOULD NOT TRADE FOR ANOTHER NISSAN. I AM ASKING NISSAN FOR SOME EXPLANATION, AND SOME FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ON THIS ISSUE, BUT I HAVE NOT HAD A REPLY. THE DEALER ONLY OFFERS A "GREAT" TRADE-IN VALUE - THE MANUFACTURER HASN'T REPLIED YET (ASSUMING THEY WILL REPLY AT ALL". THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME ON THIS MATTER AND ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO ASSIST. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION COOLER IS LOCATED IN THE RADIATOR AND CRACKED. THIS RESULTS IN THE MIXTURE OF ANTI-FREEZE AND TRANSMISSION FLUID. SO THE ENDING RESULT IS ANTI-FREEZE IN THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE RADIATOR. THE TRANSMISSION STARTS SLIPPING THEN FAILS.......THERE IS A LONG LIST OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS AT THE EDMUNDS CAR WEB SITE.
