2007 Nissan Pathfinder electrical system problems

“I HAD JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE OFF OF EBAY FROM INDIVIDUALS IN NEW BRAUNFELS , TEXAS DROVE IT BACK TO AMARILLO , TEXAS. I WENT TO DROP A LOAD OF ITEMS OFF AT AMARILLO'S GIVING CLOSET FOR PEOPLE IN NEED. IT RAN PERFECT ON THE WAY OVER THERE. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF WHILE I WAS UNLOADING EVERYTHING. WHEN I WENT TO START MY VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT START ALTHOUGH THE LIGHTS AND THINGS WOULD COME ON. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TOWED TO A SHOP AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS BEING CAUSED BY THE VEHICLE CONTROL. NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS MESSED UP ACTS IF THERE IS NO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR TAKING OFF IN 3RD GEAR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. SINCE THEN MY HUSBAND WAS PINNED UNDER A SEMINAR TRAILER HE WAS WORKING ON AND LOST HIS LEG. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP ME. I WAS JUST INFORMED OF A PROBLEM WITH NISSAN AND THIS.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED INCORRECT FUEL LEVEL READINGS. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT WITH A QUARTER TANK OF FUEL IN THE TANK, THE GAUGE DISPLAYED THAT THE TANK WAS EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL LEVELER SENDING UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000.”

“LIKE SO MANY OTHERS THAT I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT ... THESE RADAITOR TANKS ARE HORRIBLE THEY CRACK AND SOMEHOW ARE LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING FURTHER ISSUES... NOW I AM UPWARDS OF 1000 DOLLARS IN REPAIR COST.... IT CAUSES THE 10AMP AT ECU FUSE TO BLOW EVERYTIME THE CAR IS STARTED”

“TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FRIED DUE TO CONTAMINATION FROM THE RADIATOR FLUID. NISSAN WAS AWARE OF CONTAMINATION IN TRANSMISSION THROUGH THE RADIATOR AND THIS CONTAMINATION CAUSES THE CONTROL MODULE IN THE TRANSMISSION TO SHORT. EVERY TIME I WANT TO START MY VEHICLE I HAVE TO REPLACE A 10AMP FUSE UNDER THE HOOD THAT WILL ALWAYS BLOW EVERY TIME I START IT. REPAIR COST FOR A NEW CONTROL MODULE ARE EXCEEDING $4000 EVERY PLACE I GO. NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS OF THEIR FAULTY DESIGN. DUE TO THIS DEFECT MY FAMILY WAS STRANDED, I HAD TO LEAVE MY WORK AND PICK THEM UP IN BELOW 30 DEGREE TEMPERATURES.”

“CAR HAD BEGUN SHUTTERING AND ENGINE WOULD REV REAL FAST. ON PARTICULAR DAY CAR ACTUALLY QUIT WORKING FOR GOOD, HUSBAND HAD PULLED INTO PARKING SPACE BECAUSE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND FROM THAT POINT FORWARD THE CAR WILL NOT CRANK. WHEN CAR FIRST STARTED SHUTTERING AND REVVING, CAR WAS TAKEN TO TRANSMISSION BUSINESS AND THERE WERE SEVERAL CARS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL (NOT CERTAIN THAT ALL WERE OF SAME YEAR) WAITING TO HAVE TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED BECAUSE COOLANT HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND GRADUALLY KILLED THEM. WORKER AT TRANSMISSION SHOP KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS GOING ON WHEN HUSBAND EXPLAINED WHAT THE CAR WAS DOING, AND SAID THERE WERE MANY PEOPLE WHO HAD HAD THE SAME COMPLAINT.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE IN PARK, THE HEATER FAILED TO FUNCTION. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FLUID IN THE RADIATOR WAS MILKY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.”
