The transmission began to slip. Slow moving . Then vehicle would not start. Engine code u1000. Had the vehicle towed to a repair shop. They replaced the started. I paid them 400.00. I got in the vehicle it would not start. The mechanic replaced a 20A fuse in the fuse box for the ecu. Drove vehicle home, then would not start again. Researched online stumbled onto article about defective nissan transmission being a ticking time bomb. Check transmission fluid, strawberry milk shake. Radiator fluid dark. Thanks nissan , I bought this vehicle used, found out the engine was bad, spent 8000.00 replacing the engine and now the transmission and radiator are bad. I will never purchase another nissan. Why wasn't there a recall for the radiator ???

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.

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 driving and suddenly the check engine light came on, I drove home and the next week I went to replace my brakes and ask the workshop to do a scan to let me know why the light IS on, they did and 2 codes came up which the shop said they did not see before so they cleared the system and said if it comes on again to take it back so they can fully investigate. I went on 9/28 to another workshop they did a scan and the code p1772 came on after inspecting the mechanic showed me the radiator cap with some thick gooey stuff telling me the radiator IS bad and the coolant IS mixing with transmission fluid and vice versa. before this the car would run and when I at a stop sign and try to move it would rev to 4-5 stalls and then move, they are also times of sudden jerk and acceleration. they have also been twice when I tried to reverse the vehicle would not move, I had to turn off the engine then restart before I could reverse.. defective radiator cracks leading to coolant mixing with transmission fluid, now need to replace radiator and transmission

Our transmission started shuttering in 2018. Transmission completely stopped working. There was no milky fluid so we simply replaced transmission with a used tranny. 6 months later 2ND tranny failed with only 1ST & 2ND working. We took both transmissions to a specialist. He explained that the current antifreeze does not leave milky fluid and both transmissions were contaminated. This means that the radiator was leaking into the transmission causing the failure of both. He told us this IS a known issue with the pathfinder.

On February 29, 2012 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) received a letter petitioning the agency to conduct a defect investigation into MY 2005-2010 Nissan Pathfinder, Frontier, and Xterra vehicles [the subject vehicles] for automatic transmission failures related to failed transmission coolers.NHTSA conducted a comprehensive review of data related to this subject. Our report, documenting this review, is available in the document file for this defect petition.It will also be published in the Federal Register. Of the 2,505 referenced complaints, 638 relate to a potential hazard (unable to maintain speed, no motive power, engine stall) and 1,867 concern customer satisfaction issues including, but not limited to, repair cost, vehicle shudder and shake, and engine overheating.Taking into account the allocation of agency resources and priorities and the likelihood that additional investigation would result in a finding that an unreasonable risk to highway safety exists, we conclude that further investigation is not warranted and deny the petition.ODI Complaint ID numbers are referenced on the next page.

INTRODUCTION Nissan is conducting this voluntary safety recall campaign on certain specific model year 2005-2012 Pathfinder, and 2005-2013 Frontier and Xterra vehicles to inspect and, if necessary, replace the Driver Air Bag Cover. This service will be performed at no charge to the customer for parts or labor. IDENTIFICATION NUMBER Nissan has assigned identification number PC945 and PC948 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communication and documentation of any nature dealing with this campaign. DEALER RESPONSIBILITY It is the dealers responsibility to check Service COMM or Dealer Business Systems (DBS) National Service History for the campaign status on each vehicle falling within the range of this voluntary safety recall which for any reason enters the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties or presented by transient (tourist) owners and vehicles in a dealers inventory. Federal law requires that new vehicles in dealer inventory which are the subject of a safety recall must be corrected prior to sale.
