Pathfinder

I have had the pulley repaired on my 2002 Pathfinder repair twice, in 2006 and again in 2008 I believe. And it is still giving me a problem. The driver seat motor will not move forward or backward, and in extreme hot weather, my motor drags, and it is hard to start the engine. The cd player never work right.

My 6 disc cd changer does not work. The problem has been well documented on this website, and several message boards. Nissan has refused to acknowledge the defect and has refused to correct the problem. There should be a recall on these cd players.
