problem #1

Jan 182005

Pathfinder 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 2,700 miles
Vehicle dies running without warning at any speed after the engine has reached normal running temp. So far only occurs in below 32 degree outside temps. Usually restarts (once didn't at all) continues to die after about 1/10 of a mile 2 or 3 times and most of the time I can inch my way home. Problem has not been diagnosed by dealer because they cannot duplicate it. They have so far replaced the throttle control sensor and switch and have a fuel pump relay on order based on a bulletin that they admit doesn't match my symptoms. I have contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs without much satisfaction and consider the vehicle dangerous to drive. It has been at the dealer more than 30 days since Dec. 2003 and is currently there for 2 weeks. Below is current incident date. Fyi since this problem is undiagnosed and I was required to choose a component to submit complaint form, I picked fuel delivery based on latest parts order.
