Tl*the contact owns a 1997 nissan pathfinder. While driving 45 mph and sometimes slower the vehicle would stall. The failure occurred between 4 -5 times. The vehicle is able to be restarted normally.

I have been in contact with nissan (as has my regular mechanic for the last two years) regarding chronic & pervasive emissions problems with my suv. My vehicle is registered with nissan consumer affairs as case #5283891. After the latest reject sticker due to emissions safety, a different mechanic brought to my attention technical service bulletin classification fe98-001a/reference ntb98-062a addressing an extended warranty on the exhaust manifold. Three mechanics (including a nissan dealer) verified that this was...

Bought a 97 nissan pathfinder in sept. 03...Shortly after purchasing the vehicle the service engine light came on. The engine light has since had a mind of its own, turning on and off depending on the climate outside the vehicle. I recently learned that it is the evap vent control valve and o ring which need to be replaced. I had taken the car into 3 dealerships on the east coast where I was told numerous other issues were causing the light. I have put $4500 worth of work into the vehicle only to find out that it...

I have noticed a different soound comming from the exhaust. I took the vehicle to the mechanic and was told that both exhaust manifold was crack. This is why I want to know if it is a safety or manufacture defect. Please let me know if the manifold will be replaced by the dealer or what should I do. Thank you. *Ak

While driving there was a clicking noise underneath the front of the vehicle. The noise occurred because of a crack in the manifold. The manifold was replaced but the crack recurred. *Ak the first manifold cracked after 75000 miles. The second manifold cracked after 30000 miles. The consumer is concerned that if the manifolds continue to crack that the exhaust fumes could enter the cabin of the vehicle. *Nm

Exhaust system manifold cracked. Nissan just mentioned that they have extended the warranty for my vin number on that part till 2006. But no recall was issued!! Mr

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS CRACKED. *JG

Suspension causing vehicle to sway violently when going 50mph.*Ak. Consumer states the tires wore out at 20,000 miles, the shocks and struts were replaced at 42,000 miles, consumer was informed that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle after complaining about the vehicle swaying, however the vehicle was taken to another shop and the trailing arms were replaced which then corrected the problem, also the power steering fluid was leaking, the muffler was replaced due to rust and the exhaust manifold was cracked due to stress, the front differential pinion seal was leaking, the center cap that goes on the stock wheels on the front seat was installed.*Jb

My car had a noise on the engine. I took it to the mechanic and he said the manifold was cracked. He replaced the manifold. He said that the dealer said they had changed the design due to defect. The old part number was 14004-0w000 u40 manifold - e. The replacement part used was 14004-2w600 with no cover available. The cover was not replaced . The dealer said there is no recall for this defective part. Now I have two different manifolds. I feel this could be a fire hazard because it can become very hot and...

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOV EVEHICLE. *AK

The struts went at 52,000 miles $800 to replace, exhaust manifold needs to be replaced(warranty). Today the news that the speedometer was just"worn out " $235, the rear suspension lincs were "worn out" $350, the intake pinium(sp?) Was leaking $660. Something has to be done about nissan and their "worn out" vehicles. It's not even paid for yet!

Driver's seatbelt replaced 4 times due to locking up too tightly, won't release once tightened. Consumer has no movement, dealer kept replacing belts with same type. Also, problem with filler tube, it overflows when getting gas, it fills reservoir. Mechanic said it would cause problem. Canister was replaced. *Ak accelerator stuck. *Yh

Exhaust manifold has cracked. Repaired by nissan at no charge. *Ak

The nissan dealer creats all kind of tactics to delay to fix all the known problems to nissan pathfinder model. I have enough evidences and witnesses to prove that they undermine customer 's trust. They doctored the problems instead of recognizing them and fix them.

EXTERIOR TEMPERATURE GAUGE SENSOR FAILED. NLM

The vehicle has been into the dealer twice for repairs and could not be repaired. They said that nissan is aware of this problem in both the 1996 and 1997 model years. Nissan customer service said that they were not planning an "fix" for this problem now or in the near future. They said we would just have to live with the noise and inconvenience.
