CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2005-2007 Pathfinder appears to have a widespread defect where coolant leaks into the transmission, causing transmission failure around 90,000 miles. Repair costs are typically upwards of $3,500.
According to the New York Times & a class action lawsuit, the defect actually extends through 2010 model year. More info here.
I changed spark plugs, injectors, fuel pump, crank sensor, cam sensor, intake w/ gasket, throttle body, o2 sensors, disconnect the cats and still have same problem. A po300 code - the car won't pass 40 mph. I don’t know what else to do. Can anyone HELP, PLEASE?!
Nissan has known about this problem for over 11 years now. My Pathfinder would just automatic shift on me while driving on the highway. I took it to it to an auto shop and they told me my truck was like the 5th truck to come in with this problem. It was a known issue with 2005 - 2007 Nissan Pathfinders.
My husband bought me the truck without doing research on Nissan's, I normally do this before I purchased anything. But it seems that the Dealership and Nissan should be held accountable.The vehicles should have been sold before verifying the issue was resolved. Now, I am stuck with an expensive ( approx. $4500) fix. If I take it to dealership to fix, I'm looking at $6000.
I loved the truck until this, I will never buy another Nissan. Unfortunately its just sitting in the garage, my husband had a stroke, then recently diagnosed with colon cancer, my son started college and I have a 15 yr old daughter preparing for college. All the finances are left to me and I'm struggling. I really need the PATHFINDER FIX ON NISSAN EXPENSE. UPSET NISSAN PATHFINDER 2006 OWNER.
SINCE 2014, WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARED COMING ON, I FIRST TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND PAID $200.00 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THE OUTCOME, I HAD TO REPLACE MY CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT. THE DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE ME $2500.00. SPOKE TO THE PART'S GUY, HE TOLD ME WHAT TO DO. I BROUGHT THE PARTS AND HAD IT REPAIRED LESS THAN $200.00. IT'S STRANGE AFTER YOU'VE PAID VEHICLE OFF, THE DEALER STILL WANTS TO RIP YOU OFF.
