Pathfinder SE 4.0L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 228,000 miles

Timing chain problems (which apparently everyone that has a Nissan Pathfinder made from 2004-2010 has the problem) and yet NO RECALL! Makes a loud noise.

Pathfinder XE 4.0L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 128,000 miles

I've had he car 3 mos now I'm out of our only car due to Nissan not doing what they should do and fix their mistake. I have 3 small children and work my ass off trying to have something I love, the Pathfinder. Until I start reading. (after buying and spending all of our money) Now I gotta come up with the money for parts and repair myself.

Pathfinder SE Off Road 4.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 79,686 miles

So, on the same visit to the dealership about the radiator leaking into the transmission. ..they also gave me the news that my engine is making the whining noise from the timing chain and bad stamp of the guides. This too is also a known problem, even acknowledged by Nissan..but yup...you the 1st, 2nd, 3rd owner...yes you get to give them more money BECAUSE WE HERE IN AMERICA DO NOT MAKE COMPANIES ACCOUNTABLE FOR POOR QUALITY...I can not believe that with all the same issues of so many units sold and they have it rigged to where they aren't hurt a bit.
