My 2001 nissan pathfinder was purchased 3 years ago. A bose 6-cd player came installed in the vehicle. The 6-cd player stopped working, and displays an error message, "err 2". My vehicle is no longer under warranty. This problem was addressed with the nissan dealer (service department) in buena park california on december 21, at 6:40pm. I was informed that i could purchase a new cd player, however this would be quite costly. The nissan dealer further stated, when a customer whose vehicle is under warranty has this same problem, they do not repair the problem. The cd player is replaced with another. No repair shop will look at my system. Apparently, this problem is common with nissans. Other than purchasing a new cd player, there has to be some type of consumer repair shop. Nissan seems unconcerned with this type of problem. *tr

2001 nissan pathfinder 3.5l 4wd se model started misfiring at 89,000 miles, which the jeff wyler nissan dealership in ohio advised on replacing an ignition coil. Car ran ok for 2 weeks, then the check engine light came on, and this time it was a valve timing sensor. Replaced that and 2 weeks later more misfiring, and the same dealer says it's another ignition coil. A little research shows there are over 2500 people with the same engine type experiencing the same issues (maximas), and other car manufacturers not having this issue. This is an obvious defect and needs serious scrutiny or legal action.

We have had repeated issues with the electrical windows, video cassette player, radio controls on the steeing wheel, vehicle difficult to get out of park, a rattling in the front wheel area. A month ago, the electron fuse blew in the vehicle causing the vehicle not to start, when the fuse is replaced it blows again. We were told the main wiring harness has gone bad - this vehicle only has 34,000 miles on it! We were told there was nothing we could have done to prevent it from going bad - "it just went bad". The vehicle has been inoperable since october 5, 2004 - we have been waiting for a new wiring harness, nissan sent the wrong part to the dealership twice. The correct part we are told is on backorder indefinately - nissan has no idea when the part will become available. A supervisor from nissan has failed to return my phone calls and they will not cover the repair under warranty because the vehicle is 38 months old (even though it only has 34,000 miles on it). How can a vehicle that is only 3 years old have a part, that the vehicle will not run without, be on backorder indefinately? And, how can a major wiring part go bad so soon and nissan not be liable for it? *ak

Exhaust manifold. I had to call nissan hq back both times just to get and answer that yes it is covered and no they can't fix it. I am completely over nissans faulty workmanship. I took my x in to have the 60k maint done and they had the nerve to tell me about my brakes, but didn't tell me anything about the cracked manifold. They even told me that they saw it but didn't think it was anything to be concerned about. If it wasn't from the dealer charging me for overfilling my trans fluid and not tightening a trans hose fitting, i would had drove the thing until the next time to change the oil and not know anything about the crack in the manifold or ran the transmission dry. Now they are telling me that it is my fault for not keeping an eye on it. I asked the lady at hq's, if i had taken my x in with 60k miles on it and they had found the crack would it be covered under the warranty? She told me no then went on to tell me that i would have to bring it in on 59999k and it would had been. I had taken it in prior to the 60k to which the dealer did nothing or noted nothing. Then after finding the trans fluid leak i took it back in which was about 3 days later. When i took it back in it was over the 60k. Now after the dealer quoted me 4 different prices ranging from 300-1500 dollars on repairing the exact same thing (exhaust manifold). I am paying more for gas due to the low mileage from the cracked/faulty manifold. I constantly smell exhaust during traveling(stops). At times it is to the point that i must keep the windows open. *nm

I am one of many who have had the oil dipstick break off in their 2001 nissan sentra. I was able to remove mine using super glue and a dowel rod saving me hundreds of dollars. However, anyone is not aware of this will have to do what nissan suggests and that is to require people to use their services for a defective part of nisssan's design. I have been exposed to other plastic failures where under high temperature and pressure (an o-ring on the groove in the plastic) causes plastic to become brittle.*ak

My husband and i were involved in an accident on 2-19-01. We were traveling east bound on a city street with the posted speed of 40 mph. We were traveling about 38-40mph. A car traveling west bound turned in front of us, we hit the car and the hit a stop light pole. We contacted nissan, and they sent us a letter stating that we did not decelerate quick enough. Going 40mph and hitting a car and then a light pole, how can that not be a quick enough deceleration? My vehicle was totaled, and all of the damage was in the front of the vehicle, with the light pole resting in the center of the hood. Everyone at the scene of the accident stated that the airbags should have deployed. The police, fire dept., and ambulance wouldn't even attempt to get me out of the vehicle until the battery was disconnected for fear that the bags would deploy in attempt to get me out. I want to know why they didn't deploy, and i want something done about it. I love my exterra, but if ever there should be another accident, i (or someone else) may not be as fortunate to survive the crash.*ak
