2011 Nissan Pathfinder Engine

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING INSPECTED, THE CONTACT BECAME AWARE OF OIL UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BOLT THAT CONNECTED THE ENGINE OIL COOLER AND THE OIL FILTER FRACTURED WHICH CAUSED THE OIL LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V592000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT SPEEDS OF 40 MPH MY CAR'S ENGINE HAS STALLED. MY CAR AT TIMES WILL NOT TURN OVER BUT THEN WILL CRANK AND THE VDC SLIP LIGHT COMES ON AND MY ENGINE SPUTTERS. THE BATTERY IS GOOD, THE ALTERNATOR IS GOOD. RECENTLY IT ALMOST STALLED WHILE DRIVING, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON BUT THEN IT ACCELERATED JUST FINE. NOW IT IS INTERMITTENTLY MAKING A LOUD HUMMING/GRINDING NOISE.

SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY GOES OFF AND ON. TOOK IT TO VARIOUS MECHANICS AND ALL SAY THERE'S NOTHING WRONG. NOTICED THE LIGHT GOES OFF IN CERTAIN WEATHER, BUT NOT ALL THE TIME. SINCE MECHANICS SAY THERE'S NOTHING WRONG, I CAN'T SAY HOW IT AFFECTS THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR 2 YEARS.

I HAVE A 2011 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THIS MORNING THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED A BAD TRANSMISSION WHICH I THOUGHT WAS HIGHLY UNLIKELY. THEY SEEMED AS SHOCKED AS I WAS. THEY QUOTED ME 7K TO FIX IT AND I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO SOMEONE ELSE TO GET A SECOND OPINION. AT THIS POINT THEY STARTED BEING EXTREMELY RUDE. IT IS NOW AT ANOTHER SHOP UNSURE OF WHAT TO DO. AS I GOT HOME TONIGHT I FOUND THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM IN THE SAME VEHICLES BY NISSAN. I'M NOT SURE WHY THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP ACTED LIKE IT WAS NEWS TO THEM. BUT NOW I JUST WANT IT FIXED AND HAVE A SAFE VEHICLE FOR MY FAMILY. I'M HOPING IT GETS RECALLED SO THAT I'M ABLE TO GET IT FIXED.

CAR IS MAKING A VERY LOUD EXHAUST SOUND. MECHANIC SAID THE MANIFOLD HAS A CRACK. THIS CAR IS A 2011, AND IT DOESN'T SEEM POSSIBLE FOR THIS AGE CAR THAT IS DRIVEN BY A FEMALE 43 YEAR OLD TO HAVE SUCH ISSUES. *TR
