Defective radiator cross contaminated coolant and transmission fluid lines causing transmission failure and engine damage.

Ref. No. 11452064 dated May 12. 2023 After contacting the servicing dealership, a reply was received acknowledging coolant and transmission fluid cross-contamination was discovered. Along with the other complaints already received, I hope this is enough to proof to finally substantiate just remedies to all who purchased a defective product.

I HAVE 2007 PATHFINDER THE AIR BAG LIGHTS STAYS ON WONT GO OFF THE GAS TANK NEVER GOES TO FUEL IT STAY ON EMPTY, AND WHEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD THE ROAD THE CAR DIES AND THE TIRES SENSERWONT GO OFF TRIED PUT AIR IN THE TIRES STILL WONT GO OFF,I CAN HANDLE THE TIRED SENSOR NOT GOING OFF BUT WHEN THE CAR AIR BAG LIGHTS NOT WORKING AND THE GAS TANK NOT WORK AND THE THING KEEPS TRY TO DIE ON ME DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD AM NEEDED HELP, IT TRY TO DIE IN TOWN RUN DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A TURN IT DIES AND THOUGHT I WAS OUT OF GAS BUT WHEN YOU FILL THE GAS TANK WHERE IT WONT TAKE NO MORE GAS YOU NO SOMETHING NOT RIGHT WHEN IT STILL WANTS TO DIE THIS 2007 PATHFINDER AS BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR IT DID NOT START DIE UP INTILL ABOUT 7 MONTHS AGO,

JUST PURCHASED MY 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER LE ( 4X4) WITH 55,000 MILES ON IT ( OUR FAULT SIGN UNSEEN) FROM OUT OF STATE ( FLORIDA DEALERSHIP) I BELIEVE IT WAS ORIGINALLY A VA CAR. WE HAD IT HAULED UP VIA TRUCK TO WISCONSIN. NOW MIND YOU WE HAVE PAID FOR THIS CAR ALREADY SO WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE IT. I MOVED IT OUT OF THE WAY UNTIL I COULD GET IT LICENSED, MY HUSBAND THEN STARTED IT WHEN HE GOT HOME AND HE WENT AROUND THE BLOCK AND THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. THE GAS GAUGE SHOWED FULL HOWEVER WHEN I PULLED IT OUT OF THE WAYAFTER DRIVING AROUND A COUPLE OF BLOCKS IT WENT TO E AND THE LIGHT CAME ON. MY HUSBAND WENT TO FILL IT UP THINKING THAT MAY HELP, BUT IT WOULD NOT ALLOW HIM TO FILL IT, IT WOULD PUT SOME IN, THEN STOP, HE DID THAT 5 TIMES AND GAVE UP. WE CHECKED ONLINE FOR ANY RECALLS AND FOUND THERE WERE SEVERAL ONE OF THEM BEING A FUEL SENSOR ISSUE. WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WE GOT IT FROM AND THEY SAID ANY RECALLS HAVE SINCE BEEN EXPIRED. BEING WE ARE THE 2ND OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE WE DON'T KNOW IF THE FIRST OWNER DID ANYTHING IF THERE WERE RECALLS. HOW CAN WE FIND THIS OUT? IF THERE IS A WAY TO SHOW THIS, AND THEY DID NOTHING ABOUT IT, IS THERE A WAY TO GET THESE FIXED UNDER WARRANTY? ALSO, IS THERE A WAY TO SEE IF THE CODE WE ARE GETTING HAS BEEN IN THE CARS MEMORY FOR SOME TIME ? MOST IMPORTANTLY IS IF THE RECALLS WERE NEVER TAKE CARE OF, IS THERE AN EXCEPTION THAT CAN BE MADE TO FIX THE RECALLS THAT WERE PUT OUT THERE FOR THIS MODEL? ANY ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREAT! THE DATE BELOW ON WHEN THIS HAPPENED IS BASED ON WHEN WE FIRST GOT IT HOW LONG ITS BEEN GOING ON WE DON'T KNOW. AGAIN IF THERE IS A WAY TO SEE ITS HISTORY THROUGH THE COMPUTER WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT FINDING THAT OUT.

CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT SET

OVERDRIVE IN TRANSMISSION MAKES CAR DOWNSHIFT OR UP SHIFT CAUSING MAJOR ISSUES WHILE DRIVING! LOSS OF CONTROL, ACCIDENTS.... BLOWN TRANSMISSION AT THIS POINT

I HAD JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE OFF OF EBAY FROM INDIVIDUALS IN NEW BRAUNFELS , TEXAS DROVE IT BACK TO AMARILLO , TEXAS. I WENT TO DROP A LOAD OF ITEMS OFF AT AMARILLO'S GIVING CLOSET FOR PEOPLE IN NEED. IT RAN PERFECT ON THE WAY OVER THERE. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF WHILE I WAS UNLOADING EVERYTHING. WHEN I WENT TO START MY VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT START ALTHOUGH THE LIGHTS AND THINGS WOULD COME ON. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TOWED TO A SHOP AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS BEING CAUSED BY THE VEHICLE CONTROL. NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS MESSED UP ACTS IF THERE IS NO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR TAKING OFF IN 3RD GEAR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. SINCE THEN MY HUSBAND WAS PINNED UNDER A SEMINAR TRAILER HE WAS WORKING ON AND LOST HIS LEG. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP ME. I WAS JUST INFORMED OF A PROBLEM WITH NISSAN AND THIS.

OTHER, ELECTRICAL WASN'T SURE WHAT IT FELL UNDER: MAIN HORN. DOES NOT WORK AND HAS NOT WORKED FOR OVER A YEAR.

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the air bag warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where a diagnostic test was performed; however, the cause of the failure could not be determined. The dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

IT'S TURN ON EMERGENCY LIGHT

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHIFT ROUGHLY. IT WAS DETERMINED THROUGH THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT THE RADIATOR HAD A CRACK IN , AND RADIATOR FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. IT IS A DESIGN FLAW. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER (120,000 ,MILES) THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION, I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AT ALL. AFTER A VERY FRIGHTENING COUPLE OF MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE THROUGH AND COAST DOWN A SMALL INCLINE TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. AFTER THREEDAYS OUR LOCAL MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO FIX THE CAR, AS HE CONCLUDED THAT THE ECM HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP, WHO AGREED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE ECM ($1014 REPAIR). AFTER THREE MORE DAYS, THEY'VE NOW TOLD US THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE ECM, BUT THE FACT THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID HAS LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION, DESTROYING IT. THEY ARE QUOTING A REPAIR COST OF $7500. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR OVER A WEEK (RENTING A CAR BECAME COST PROHIBITIVE), AND NOW WILL SPEND THE MORNING TRYING TO FIND A MORE COST EFFECTIVE WAY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. I'VE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE OF WHICH NISSAN IS COMPLETELY AWARE. THE COOLANT LEAK/TRANSMISSION FAILURE IS IN FACT A DESIGN DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. IT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT NISSAN HAS NOT RECALLED THESE VEHICLES, OR AT THE VERY LEAST MADE THE REPAIR FREE FOR CONSUMERS REGARDLESS OF VEHICLE MILEAGE. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE. *TR

TAKATA RECALL MY AIR BAG LIGHTS CONTINUE TO BLINK AND DO NOT GO OFF BROUGHT IN TO DEALER TO GET IT CHECK. THE DEALER STATES ITS NOT THE SENSOR ITS ITS A CIRCUIT SPIRAL CABLE DECLINE. NISSAN REFUSES TO PUT MY VEHICLE IN THE CALL BACK. I THINK ITS PART OF THE TAKATA AIR BAG DESIGN AND SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE CALL BACK.

VEHICLE STARTS SHUDDERING AND JERKING AT 45 MILES PER HOUR.... HEATER ONLY BLOWS HOT AIR WHEN CAR IS MOVING, BLOWS COLD AIR WHEN IDLING. *TR

I get regular Maintenance on my car and have owned it for numerous years. I was driving on a major highway & with no warning the car shut off and locked up. The power steering was completely gone. If it hadn't been for going down hill I probably would of gotten hit as I tried to get off the road. My seat belt locked in place and I had to climb out of the seat belt to get out of the vehicle. The doors were also locked and had an issue opening them at first in 91degree heat it was a very scary experience.

THE DEALER I WORK FOR HAD CHECKED MY VEHICLE SINCE IT HAS BEEN LEAKING PINK FLUID FROM MY ENGINE TURNS OUT THEY FOUND ON MY 20007 NISSAN PATHFINDER A COOLANT IN TRANSMISSION MEANING THERE IS AN INTERNAL TRANSMISSION CROSS CONTAMINATION COOLER FAILURE. BOTTOM LINE THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND FIXED ME HOSES FOR THE POWER STEERING FLUID COSTING ME OVER $5300.00 WITH A HUGE DEALERSHIP. I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 16, 2015 FROM A PRIVATE DEALER AND NOW I AM STUCK WITH A HUGE BILL TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE A AWARE OF NATIONALLY. THIS VEHICLE'S CARFAX IS AWESOME AND NO ENGINE ISSUES WHICH I MADE IT MY BUSINESS TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS OKAY WITH THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF THIS...WHY DO I HAVE SUFFER BEING WITHOUT A CAR AGAIN AS A SINGLE MOTHER OF THREE THIS IS NOT RIGHT.

There’s was a recall on the control arm… I took it in to Nissan and was told mine was not affected.. so it was not fixed. A year or two has passed and my whole suspension needs to be replaced.

I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO HAVE AVOIDED SEVERAL CLOSE ACCIDENTS DURING WHICH CASE MY FAMILY WAS ON BOARD THE VEHICLE. MYSELF, MY FAMILY, OR COUNTLESS OTHER LIVES MAY NOT BE AS FORTUNATE IF THIS MATTER IS NOT PROMPTLY RESEARCHED AND RESOLVED.

FIRST THE FUEL SENSOR WENT OUT. ONCE I GOT THAT FIXED (640.00) THE FUEL TANK WOULDN'T FILL UP AND THE GAUGES WERE OFF. THEN FLUID LEAKED INTO THE RADIATOR AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR (1,000.00). THEN I HAD TO FLUSH IT TWICE. THEN THE CAR OVERHEATED BECAUSE THE THERMOSTAT WAS GONE. $250.00. NOW THE CAR WON'T START AND I'M BEING TOLD IT'S THE IGNITION GONE BAD. ALL OF THIS HAS HAPPEN OVER THREE MONTHS. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN. THIS WAS MY THIRD NISSAN AND LAST!!!!!!! WHERE ARE THE RECALLS IF THE SAME PROBLEMS ARE OCCURRING. *TR
