2001 Nissan Pathfinder equipment problems

“I PURCHASED A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER IN 2004. THE BOSE 6-DISC CHANGER IMMEDIATELY FAILED. THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED IT BECAUSE IT FELL WITHIN THE 30-DAY WARRANTY PERIOD. IT WORKED FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS AFTER THAT AND THEN I GOT AN ERROR MESSAGE ONE DAY WHEN I TRIED TO LOAD A CD AND IT HASN'T WORKED SINCE. LAST SPRING, I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A TIRE ROTATION AND BALANCE AND MY MECHANIC NOTED THAT THERE WAS A SLIGHT FISH-TAILING IN THE BACK WHICH WAS CAUSED BY DETERIORATION OF THE REAR BUSHINGS, AND OVER TIME, THE FISH-TAILING WOULD GET SO BAD, IT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHEN BRAKING. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN CERTAIN PATHFINDER MODELS, AND NISSAN EVEN CORRECTED THE PROBLEM IN FUTURE MODELS OF THE PATHFINDER ONCE THE PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE POSTS TO THIS WEBSITE AS WELL AS OTHERS REGARDING BOTH OF THESE ISSUES IN THE 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER. HOW CAN NISSAN NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT OF THIS FAULTY EQUIPMENT? THE REAR BUSHING PROBLEM IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD, AND I PRAY FOR NISSAN'S SAKE NO ONE IS EVER KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE, BECAUSE A GOOD ATTORNEY WILL HAVE A FIELD DAY IN COURT WITH…”

“MY BOSE CD CHANGER IN MY 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER HASN'T BEEN WORKING IN A COUPLE OF YEARS. IT COMES UP WITH AN ERR2 MESSAGE. I KNOW IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL AND NISSAN HAS NOT RESPONDED TO ANY COMPLAINTS I'VE HAD ABOUT THIS. *TR”

“I PURCHASED A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE 6 DISC BOSE CD PLAYER WORKED PERFECT FOR A FEW YEARS. IN 2006 IT READ ERR2. I ATTEMPTED TO RETRIEVE THE CD'S BUT THEY WOULD NOT COME OUT. AS A RESULT THE PLAYER CONTINUOUSLY CLICKED AND THEN EVENTUALLY STOPPED. NOW IT DOES NOT DO ANYTHING. I HAVE FOUND THIS PROBLEM TO BE VERY COMMON IN 2001 PATHFINDER AND INFINTIY QX4. THERE IS NOT A CD PLAYER MADE THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH BOSE THAT WILL SOUND GOOD. TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE IS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE OF THE HIGH PRICE THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MANY PEOPLE IN FORUMS THAT HAVE ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE BROKEN UNIT ONLY TO HAVE IT LAST A FEW MONTHS. I REFUSE TO THROW AWAY MONEY AND WANT TO HAVE MY UNIT REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP AT NO CHARGE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A TREND HERE WITH THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS AND I WOULD LIKE THIS MATTER TO BE HANDLED CORRECTLY. *TR”

“MY COMPLAINT IS QUITE THE SAME AS I CAN SEE ALL READY LISTED ON THIS SITE. I HAVE A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER WHICH I PURCHASED IN 2004. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY SWAY BAR WHICH NO ONE ESPECIALLY THE DEALER KNOWS HOW IT GOT BENT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MY 6CD BOSE CHANGER ALSO SHUT DOWN ON ME IN 2007 JUST STOP WORKING AND NOT EJECTING CDS AND DOING A CLICK CLICK NOISE ALL THE TIME I HAVE TWO CDS IN THERE I CAN NOT REMOVE OR GET OUT. ACCORDING TO NISSAN THEY DON'T HANDLE THESE ISSUES AND DO NOT FIX THEM THEY REPLACE THE WHOLE CD CHANGER FOR $700-$800. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM AND ISSUE WITH THEM AND THEIR SISTER COMPANIES WITH THE BOSE SYSTEM THE VEHICLES ARE PROVIDED WITH WHEN YOU PURCHASE THEM. YOU DO NOT ORDER THE SYSTEM IT COMES WITH THE VEHICLE BUT THEY WONT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY NOR FIX IT. I ALSO HAD THE ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEM AND TOOK TO A MECHANIC WHOM STATED WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER CODE ON THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND HAD TO TAKE TO NISSAN BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT TOUCH THE VEHICLE AND WAS STILL UNDER MANUFACTURER WARRANTY BEING UNDER 80,000. QUOTE PER NISSAN ALL IT WAS IS AN ELECTRICAL COMPUTER UPGRADE CODE. NEEDED TO UPGRADE MY ELECTRICAL COMPUTER…”

“I OWN A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER SE THAT IS CONFIGURED WITH A BOSE/CLARION 6 CD CHANGER UNIT. THE UNIT FAILED IN 2007 GIVING AN ERR 2 MESSAGE. I HAD THE UNIT REMOVED BY EMPIRE NISSAN LAKEWOOD, CO WHO SENT IT TO BE REPAIRED TWICE TO A SERVICE CONTRACTOR. BOTH TIMES THE UNIT WAS RETURNED REINSTALLED AND FAILED AGAIN. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED MANY OTHER CONSUMERS REPORTING THE EXACT SAME ERR 2 PROBLEMS WITH THEIR AUDIO SYSTEMS. *TR”

“I PURCHASED A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER FROM A FAMILY MEMBER. THE BOSE 6 CD CHANGER COMES UP WITH AN ERROR MESSAGE ERR2. I'M BEING TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE: THAT NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT BUT WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE. I'M TRYING TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THIS. IS THERE ANY RECOURSE WITH NISSAN? *TR”
