I HAVE HAD THE PULLEY REPAIRED ON MY 2002 PATHFINDER REPAIR TWICE, IN 2006 AND AGAIN IN 2008 I BELIEVE. AND IT IS STILL GIVING ME A PROBLEM. THE DRIVER SEAT MOTOR WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD, AND IN EXTREME HOT WEATHER, MY MOTOR DRAGS, AND IT IS HARD TO START THE ENGINE. THE CD PLAYER NEVER WORK RIGHT. *KB
RECALL ISSUED FOR NISSAN PATHFINDER -1996-2004- STEERING COLUMN- CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON SOME LISTS, WELL IT DOES FALL WITHIN THE MODEL YEARS AND I WANT IT CHECKED.

RECALL ISSUED FOR NISSAN PATHFINDER-1996-2004- FRONT SUSPENSION-CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON SOME LISTS, WELL IT DOES FALL WITHIN THE MODEL YEARS AND I WANT IT CHECKED. CUSTOMER SERVICE REP WAS NOT HELPFUL, ASKED TO SPEAK WITH A MANAGER, HAVE NOT HEARD BACK. THE INTERIOR PANEL LIGHTS WORK WHEN THEY WANT TO, NOT SAFE IF DRIVING AT NIGHT, THIS OCCURS VERY OFTEN AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS REPORTED ISSUE BY NISSAN. *TR
INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY, NO PATTERN. THE LIGHTS BEHIND THE SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER GAUGES WILL NOT OPERATE ON OCCASION. TURNING THE LIGHTS ON AND OFF, TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURNING IT BACK ON DOESN'T HELP. BUMPS, TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE, ETC. SEEM TO HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE ISSUE. IT MAKES IT UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT AS YOU CANNOT TELL HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING OR HOW MUCH FUEL YOU HAVE. *TR
ON 2002 NISSAN PATHFINDER THE BACK WINDOW ABOVE THE TAIL GATE WILL UNLOCK BY USE OF THE REMOTE. THE WINDOW IS ONLY TO UNLOCK BY USE OF THE KEY. WHEN LOCKING BY REMOTE OR UNLOCKING THE WINDOW POPS OPEN. WHEN DRIVING AN OPEN DOOR LIGHT SHOWS UP AND ALL "DOORS" ARE CLOSED, JUST THE WINDOW UNLOCKED ITSELF. NOTE THAT OVER THE YEARS I HAVE ONLY UNLOCKED THIS WINDOW BY KEY MAYBE 20 TIMES. WHEN UNLOCKING AND LOCKING I MUST NOW CHECK THE WINDOW EACH TIME. *TR
THE MOTOR IN DRIVERS SIDE SEAT THAT ALLOWS THE SEAT TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACK HAS FAILED. *TR
COMPLAINT WITH 2002 NISSAN PATHFINDER DRIVER SEATS ONLY MOVING UP AND DOWN, NOT BACK AND FORTH. CUSTOMER STATES THAT THIS REPAIR IS SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MECHANICS LOOKED AT IT THEN SAID IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *KB THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE MOTOR WAS NOT COVERED, HOWEVER THE CONSUMER STATED HIS WARRANTY CLEARLY STATED THAT ALL POWER SEAT MOTORS WERE COVERED. *JB
ALL OF THE DOOR LOCKS WILL LOCK FROM THE INSIDE INTERMITTENLY WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.*JB
WHEN DRIVING, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL LOCK, AND AT TIMES WILL NOT LET CONSUMER OPEN THE DOOR, CONTACTED DEALER, AND THE DEALER WAS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING.*AK THE DOOR LOCKED BY ITSELF TWO MORE TIMES AND THE DOOR KEY DOES NOT OPEN FRONT DOOR WHEN LOCKED. *YH
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
