Filed Oct 31, 2017 · Engine, Suspension · GA

This vehicle was sold to me by an individual and it has so many problems it's unbelievable. Haven't been able to get it to pass emissions. Had the death wobble when I first got it. I'm extremely upset about this lemon I was. Sold. I'm a breast cancer patient and limited on income and I was really screwed over. Lost over 3000 dollars over this vehicle

I purchased an 2001 nissan pathfinder in 2003 and the bose radio w/ 6 cd clarion player. "err 2" coded 3-months after I purchased it. I had an extended warranty, it was replaced with a refurbished system of the same. It is 8/08 and the system is broken again, and not covered. What are the chances that this vehicle could go through 2 radios in only 63,000 miles?? Ridiculous!!! Nissan will not stand by the cheap parts used by clarion in the radio (as researched on the net). I also have an ECM problem, nissan says it needs to be upgraded, but will not pay for it. My check engine light comes on coding there is a problem with the catalytic converter. They told me nothing is wrong with the converter, just an error with the software in the ECM. So now I won't know if the "check engine" light is on for some thing serious or it is just the converter wrongly coding.

The entire exhaust system (from and including y-pipe and back) had to be replaced because the entire system was completely rusted out. My mechanic said it was the most rusted out system he had ever seen. I believe this was due to incorrect making of the product. This may be similar to the other recall in which the lack of properly coating the items caused premature rusting.
