Pathfinder V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 50,400 miles

I purchased my 2005 nissan pathfinder on 6/30/2012. BIG BIG MISTAKE!!!!! I took my vehichle to the Nissan dealer because my check engine light was on, my gas reading was inccorrect and when I started my car it didn't warm up at all until you drive the vehicle for several miles and the vehicle was just running like crap (to put in nice words). I received a call several hours later and was told that fluid had leaked into the transmission and that I would have to replace the transmission, radiator, and there were a few other things such as I had to purchase a thermostat and they did a replacement on the ECM relay due to a recall. I purchased an extended warranty when I purchased the vehicle so basically what I was told is that Nissan would cover the transmission, radiator, and ecm relay and my extended warranty would cover some other stuff however i had to pay my 100.00 deductible plus the thermostat. Ok ok I did. I drove the car away from the service station and guess what my check engine light came back on and my gas gauge was still reading inaccurate. Well took the vehicle back in and by the way was treated like crap (put in nice words). I was told now that it is the ECU for vent conrol valve and had to pay another 100.00n deductible because of course that was covered under my extended warranty that I purchased. Well drove the vehicle after that was fixed off the lot at 1:00 which is the time they close and about 1/2 mile down the road the engine light came on. Well took it back and now was told that my evap canistar internally failed and the purge volume conrol valve and evap conrol system pressure needs replaced. It would only cost me over 500.00 to fix. I am so irate typing this right now that some is coming out of my ears. I just purchased this vechicle and it only has 50,000 miles on it. Very disappointed in my purchase and will never ever by a nissan again
