| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 1995 | STRUCTURE | FRAME SECTION ABOVE REAR WHEELS IS RUSTED OUT AS WITH SO MANY OTHER NISSAN PATHFINDERS (1995 MODEL). THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AS THE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS ARE BARELY ATTACHED TO THE FRAME ANYMORE. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF THIS PROBLEM NOR IS THE VEHICLE DRIVEN OFF-ROAD. *TR |
| 2003 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM | 1.) THERE WERE NO SPECIFIC EVENTS THAT LED TO THE FAILURE OF MY VEHICLE PART. 2.) MY 2003 NISSAN PATHFINDER WITH 50K MILES ON IT HAS A CRACKED RESONATOR PIPE WHICH ARE THE FRONT PIPES THAT ATTACH IN TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTED. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND THERE ARE OVER 200 PEOPLE ON THIS WEBSITE: HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/NISSAN/TTG7L43U0AKTKACBF THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I DO. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED DUE TO SAFETY AND EMISSION ISSUES. 3.) I PATCHED THE CRACKED PIPE BUT THE PATCH HAS SINCE FAILED. I AM LOOKING AT $1200 TO PUT NEW EXHAUST PIPES ON A VEHICLE WITH 50K MILES. NISSAN WILL NOT COVER THIS UNDER THE 8/80 LAW DUE TO IT NOT SPECIFICALLY LISTING THE RESONATOR PIPES AS PART OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. *TR |
