Pathfinder

  • 170,000 miles
My mechanic told me the frame on my 1995 Nissan Pathfinder is rotted out and way beyond safe to drive at all. We take care of this the same as other vehicles we own, some that are older, and there is no frame rot problems with them. Some online research has shown this to be an extremely widespread problem in Nissan Pathfinders. Although it's an older truck, it's a design flaw and makes it dangerous to drive. Toyota had a similar problem and took care of it, I contacted Nissan and they we willing to do nothing.

Vehicles steel frame completely rusted through causing it to sever. Occurred while driving. The hanging metal parts then severed my brake line causing leak, endangering my safety. This damage is not due to owner negligence. Nearly all owners of 1995nissanpathfinders experience similar issue. Nissan has not issued a recall. This problem endangers the driver and may be fatal. A recall should be put in place. The vehicle runs fine but is immobile due to faulty and corroded frame.

This car cannot go over 80 mph. When driving high speed on "open" road, car starts to vibrate wildly. Also, just heard pop and had car at mechanics immediately. Checked and found driver's side strut rod was broken. Replaced this strut 204,000 miles. Owner of this car is lucky to still drive this car, as this car gives a really rocky, rough ride, especially at any speed over 50 mph.

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.

Frame rusted out on my Pathfinder failed inspection. Only owned it 11 months. I have owned and leased 6 Nissan in the past and Nissan will not even respond to my complaint. If you go to the website (Nissan comments )this site has over 100 other concerned customers with exact same issue with no response from Nissan.
