Lost motive power lots of shuddering and hard shifting.
The transsmision don't change correctly
1) about 2 years ago the cruse control stopped working. Have not repaired this problem. 2) in july 2015 the air bag warning light on the instrument panel started flashing. Have not repaired this problem. 3) on dec 21, 2005 after pulling out of my drive way the transmission would not advance to the next higher gear. Stopped and put it into reverse but the SUV would not go backwards. Slowly drove it around the block back home. Transmission shop reported that coolant leaked into the PCM compartment causing this problem. Repairs have been made, cost was 3645 us dollars.
Radiator coolant leaked into transmission causing permanent transmission failure.
I am writing to inform you of an intermittent brake failure/ un-commanded vehicle acceleration problem with the 2007 nissan pathfinder. On april 4, 2015 I brought my 2007 nissan pathfinder to the nissan austin northtown dealership (austin, tx) for scheduled maintenance, which included servicing/replacement of my brakes, pads, and fluids. In the three weeks since this service was completed I have encountered several brake failures in which: (1) the brakes failed to hold pressure resulting in the vehicle accelerating forward from a stop several feet, (2) the vehicle accelerated when applying brake pressure when attempting to slow the vehicle to a stop, (3) the brakes failed to act upon attempting to stop the vehicle from moving forward. These events have been intermittent and have occurred on the following dates: 04 apr 2015 SUV exhibited un-commanded acceleration while holding brake at stop light 05 apr 2015 SUV exhibited un-commanded acceleration while holding brake at stop light 08 apr 2015 SUV exhibited un-commanded acceleration while holding brake at stop light 12 apr 2015 SUV exhibited un-commanded acceleration while braking to a stop 13 apr 2015 SUV brought to north town nissan, mechanics unable to replicate event while nissan mechanics have assured me that the events were coincidental, upon further investigation, I have learned that a customer experienced a similar event february 7, 2009, and has since filed a complaint with the national highway transportation safety board. I would greatly appreciate if you could further investigate this matter and contact me at your earliest convenience. 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.
Heavy vibration while shifting heavy vibration while accelerating shuddering noises I am fearful that my car will die while I am driving down the street.
I always take my car in for service at glendale nissan and so last year in july of 2013 I asked were there any recall on my car I was told no. So in feb of this year2014 I started experiencing some problems with me heat inside the car. They checked it and told me my transmission fluid was mixing with my coolant and I needed to replace both and its gonna cost me $5600. I asked was there a recall on this and I was told yes and my car wasn't covered because of the mileage. I instantly got upset because I always take my car in for service to this dealership. I was told I could try to replacing the radiator and drain the transmission but that was no guarantee how long the car would work. I did just that ..now my car is staying idle while driving and it wont idle down for a period of time. I tried calling the 1800nissan1 number and explain my problem and they told me they can't help me and nothing they could do. This is so wrong! I've spent so much money at this dealership its ridiculous. Ive replaced my computer, belts, hoses, spark plugs,oil changes,drain my transmission fluid.so much I cant even remember everything. If they know that this is happening to these cars and put out a recall for this how can they get away with this! Im a single parent of 5 children there's no way I can afford this!! And this is my only car I have for transportation!! This is just plain wrong! They shouldn't be allowed to get away with this!
My car started to rattle and lose power at 45 MPH. I drove it home and tried to reverse it in with no luck. I immediately knew I had a transmission issue. I parked the car for two days and took it to the dealer who later informed me that my radiator coolant fluid had mixed with my transmission fluid and destroyed my entire car. They quoted me between 7000-9000 to fix the car. I contacted nissan who informed me that there is nothing they can do because they extended the warranty twice to up to 100,000 miles. I find this ironic since after extensive research the issue usually occurs after 100,000 miles. Nissan has know about this problem for 7 years and has chosen to ignore the issue and not issue a recall. Now the consumers have to foot the bill.
At 99000 miles truck failed to take off then all of sudden took off then going down the highway the truck wouldn't accelerate. During a road trip which caused a 3 day delay and 3000 dollars in repair. Now fast forward to 111,975 miles and was going up hill at light and truck started rolling backwards and sputtering, took it to nissan dealership stated that coolant in transmission repair cost 7246 and still owe 9200 on truck.
