problem #1

Pathfinder Platinum 3.4L

  • CVT transmission
  • 51,000 miles

Took vehicle in to dealer because of white smoke at startup lasting < 10 Seconds. Vehicle had no warning lights or computer codes.

Dealer identified engine as 'sludged' and recommended a complete engine replacement . Vehicle has been primarily used for highway driving >100 miles. Oil was changed s in my experience.

Seems like 51000 mile engine replacement is not typical of Nissan engines.

A local mechanic will replace engine with remanufactured for roughly $12000.
