Filed Oct 3, 2019 · Engine · 79,420 miles · NY

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

My fuel tank is warped so the fuel float sensor gets stuck mostly on empty so I cant tell how much fuel I have. Even after I fill the fuel tank it still tells me I am empty. Ocasionally if I hit a bump after fillling it will show the correct ammount of fuel. I am afraid I will run out of gas, stall and get into an accident. The year before mine and after mine was already recalled for this same problem.

Fluid has leaked from the radiator into the transmission causing corrosion in the transmission. Transmission stalls and shutters while driving it. This causes a safety hazard, due to lack of power and possible loss of transmission during driving. This is a known defect in nissan pathfinders.

At first, the car wouldn't start occasionally. I replaced the battery and fuses. This helped temporarily. Now, the car won't start unless I place a new ecu fuse each time I attempt to start it. Changing the fuse will start the car, but it lacks power and is quick to stall out. When I took it to the mechanic, he discovered coolant in my transmission. After reading information from several websites, I realized this is an ongoing issue with this make/model of car.

I noticed my 2007 pathfinder's heater would only work when the car was moving but, figured it was something insignificant and would get it fixed soon. I then started to notice my transmission slipping and stalling out around 40 MPH. I decided I better get it into the shop before I was stranded somewhere. Before taking my car into the shop, I figured I'd check the internet and make sure there weren't any recalls on the heating system. I typed in "2007 nissan pathfinder" on google and it auto-filled "transmission problems" - not a good sign. Apparently, nissan was aware of the faulty radiators in these vehicles which leak antifreeze in to the transmission and destroy the drive train, yet did nothing about it.. Post after post described the exact same issues I was having with my car - people were describing how their cars were getting stuck in high or low gears going down the highway and it scared me to death! I immediately called two local nissan dealerships and gave them my VIN and mileage. I was informed, due to some worthless settlement with nissan, my portion of the cost would be $3,000. Here is what most infuriates me about this situation: 1. Nissan was obviously aware of this issue many years ago so why didn't they recall the radiator and save us this trouble and expense? Does someone have to die before something is done? I'm sure it's only a matter of time with vehicles getting stuck in high gear or stalling out on the interstate! 2. Who did this class action suit help exactly? Sounds like nissan definitely got the bigger end of the stick. When it all boils down, I'm guessing they are out very little, if any, money at all. 3. What happened to customer service? This isn't just bad service - it's bad business. It's absurd that car companies are allowed to sell faulty vehicles without repercussion.

I currently have a 2007 nissan pathfinder and at the end of october it started acting like it was going to stall a few times, then after a few times of that my check engine light came on so I took it to get evaluated and it comes up that it has a faulty fuel level sensor. I haven't gotten it fixed as of yet because I am a single mother of 4 and the cost isn't cheap. I have had no real issues with my truck other than this and after researching today I am seeing more and more complaints of the same thing but I don't see where there is a real recall for this. But it should be covered with all of the complaints that are in about this. I don't wish to be stranded somewhere with my children in this cold weather. For such an expensive vehicle you'd think something as such would be covered with so many going bad so needless to say I am not happy at the moment.
