TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 60 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED INTO SECOND GEAR BEFORE DECELERATING AND BECOMING UNRESPONSIVE TO ACCELERATION ATTEMPTS. ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL AS THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT RADIATOR FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND BOTH COMPONENTS WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS THEN CONTACTED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 78,000.

WHEN I WENT TO CHANGE MY BRAKES ON OUR NISSAN PATHFINDER I SAW THAT THE ENTIRE FRAME WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND FULL OF HOLES, THE GAS TANK AND REAR END HAVE FALLEN DOWN AND ARE HANGING ON BY THE FRAME. THIS VEHICLE WAS USED FOR THE TRANSPORTATION OF MY FAMILY, AND I WAS TOLD BY AN ENGINEER THAT WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE TO BE ALIVE, AND VERY FORTUNATE THAT WE DID NOT KILL ANY INNOCENT PEOPLE. THERE HAS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. WHAT KIND OF COUNTRY DO WE LIVE IN THAT PUTS THE LIVES OF ITS CITIZENS IN DANGER FOR A CAR COMPANY? I PRAY NOT THIS ONE, PLEASE ACT. *TR

GOING 70 MPH AND THE TIRE TREAD RIPPED OFF LIKE A FRUIT PEEL. THE TIRE STILL HAD HAD ALL ITS AIR IN IT WHEN I CAME TO A STOP. I DID NOT CRASH AND NO BODY WAS HURT. I SENT THE TIRE TO FIRESTONE FOR THEM TO LOOK AT. THEY SAID THE TIRE WAS NOT INFLATED CORRECTLY AND IT WAS MY FAULT. MY INSURANCE CO. HAS PAID FOR THE COST OF DAMAGE BUT NOT FOR MY NEW TIRES. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT THAT I MIGHT CONTACT? I STILL HAVE THE TIRE WITH ME. I ASKED FIRESTONE TO SEND IT BACK TO ME AND THEY DID. THE TIRES WERE 60 THOUSAND MILE TIRES AND I HAD ABOUT 30-40 THOUSAND ON THEM. I HAVE PICTURES AND A SHORT VIDEO OF THE OLD TIRE AND ITS MATES SHOWING THE TREAD DEPTH.*AK

MY SON WAS TURNING RIGHT OUT OF A GAS STATION WHEN THE ACCELATOR STUCK ON OUR 1995 NISSAN PATHFINDER. HE VEERED BACK INTO THE PARKING LOT OF THE STATION TO TRY AND GAIN CONTROL HOWEVER THERE WAS A CEMENT POLE IN HIS PATH AND HE JERKED THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO AVOID HITTING THE POLE HEADON. THE PATHFINDER FLIPPED SEVERAL TIMES AND LANDED ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET FACING THE OTHER DIRECTION. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH TWO OTHER PEOPLE THAT OWN A NISSAN PATHFINDER WHO HAS HAD THEIR ACCELARATOR STICK. THE VEHICLE WAS WRECKED ON ALL SIDES AND NOT A SINGLE AIRBAG INFLATED. WITNESSES ON THE SCENE REPORTED THAT THE WHEELS ON THE SUV WERE STILL TURNING AT A RAPID PACE EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ON ITS SIDE. THE SHERIFF INVESTIGATING THE ACCIDENT CONCLUDED THAT IT WAS A MECHANICAL FAILURE THAT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. *AK

MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THE FRAME ON MY 1995 NISSAN PATHFINDER IS ROTTED OUT AND WAY BEYOND SAFE TO DRIVE AT ALL. THE EXTREME RUST PROBLEM IS AT THE STRUT ASSEMBLY WHICH COULD EASILY BREAK AND THE VEHICLE LOOSE STEERING FUNCTION. THE REAR FRAME AREA IS ALMOST COMPLETELY GONE. SOME ONLINE RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THIS TO BE AN EXTREMELY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM IN NISSAN PATHFINDERS. ALTHOUGH IT'S AN OLDER TRUCK, IT'S A DESIGN FLAW AND MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. TOYOTA HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM AND TOOK CARE OF IT, I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY SEEM UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS SAFETY HAZARD. *JS

UPON TURNING THE HEAD LIGHTS HIGH BEAMS ON THEY DEFUSE THE LIGHT, EVEN TRYED USING A BRIGHTER BULB WITH 20%, BUT DOES NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK ON MY 1995 NISSAN PATHFINDER 4 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. IT WAS LAST REPLACED 1 MONTH AGO AND IS BEGINNING TO LEAK AGAIN. EACH TIME SPOT WELDS ON THE TANK HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE, RESULTING IN A SLOW LEAK AND BUILD UP OF FUMES UNDER THE GAS TANK. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY HAZARD THIS POSES. *NLM
