I am so tired of this SUV. I have never had so many problems. I bought this SUV at Southlake auto mall on route 30 in Merriville, IN. They have not done anything about any of these problems. They must see that I am having many many many issues with this SUV. It is a nightmare. I love the SUV, but this one has too many problems.......wheel barings, ujoints, new transmission, 2 new radiatiors, - I put new michialan tires on it, had tires rotated, (so you see i do my part and take care of this SUV)- there is rust spots where the door closes on the bottom, the something shield had to be removed (something that is underneath and prevents all the noise from leaking out) so many problems with this truck I am so tired with it

Pathfinder LX V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 60,000 miles

various parts failing not due to normal wear/tear. Parts failing due to manufacturer installing defective parts from factory. Vehicle has very low mileage for age and so far fuel gauge and cam/crank shaft sensors have failed resulting in costly repairs. Afraid radiator/transmission will be next. I am senior citizen on fixed income and can hardly afford all the unexpected repairs that come with this auto. I am ashamed and disappointed in Nissan!
