Theresa of Freehold NJ (06/21/08)
I purchased a Nissan Pathfinder in March 2002 new.I serviced and maintained this vechicle at this dealership when needed. Then in late May,2004 I noticed a burning smell on my way home from work the truck for a few days, wasn't feeling right and the clutch seemed to be slipping. On May 27, the truck broke down I had it towed to Nissan of Freehold, I was told the clutch needed to be replaced, the odometer reading was 32,158.I was told at the service center, I must not be driving the truck properly, by RIDING THE CLUTCH I explained to them, all the vechicles I have owned sinse driving at the age of 16 have always been manual transmission.The cost 1513.38 Clutch #2 original plus. The truck was 2 years 2 months old. Now 2 years 2 months later July 2006 again I felt the clutch slipping promptly brought it to Nissan now 57,645 miles. No surprise the clutch needed to be replaced at my expense once again because the warranty does not cover the cost. I was extremely upset by this time clutch number #3in 4 years I asked that someone from the corporate Nissan division come tke a look at the parts and pictures and was told nothing was faulty and again it was my responsibility for the costs.Only this time they would give me a discount how kind! This time 1,372.19. What choice did I have I need to work, and no one including corporate Nissan was willing to admit to any wrongdoing by Nissan or faulty parts, and certainly not willing to pay for the full cost.Now here we go again, I brought my truck in for emission smell and failed inspection on June 6th I dropped the truck off and was told I had an evaporation problem with the fuel line and I also needed hoses replaced and power steering flushed out, the cost 962.98. A few days later I picked up the truck and noticed the clutch again was slipping promptly called Nissan and dropped the truck off again. okay clutch number #4 23 months later. Again I'm told by Nissan of Freehold their is nothing they can do it's not under warranty. I would have to pay the full cost and probably should also replace the fly wheel like I did in 2004.I asked that they park the truck outside their lot and not to touch the truck I will have it towed when I figure out where to bring it. In the meantime of course I need the truck back for work and life's basic needs and don't know what to do, It is absurd to have to replace this many clutches I never had to replace a clutch in my other cars and only one did I ever have to replace in a Nissan 2000sx with 200,000 miles and ten years old. Is there anyone who can help me? I know Nissan is responsible I truly believe they were using faulty parts my truck was brand new off the lot when I purchased it, and cost over 30,000 dollars and have spent at least close to 7,000 in repairs in 5 years. Please contact me asap, I can't afford this again and shouldn't have to this is crazy, I drive to work am married with children and use that vechicle in a responsible manner.Thank you

I bought a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder and after only 40,000 miles the gas gauge isn't working right and they tell me the fuel sensor is out and will cost me 500 to fix it and it is not under warranty. I called my old mechanic (I used on my previous cars) and was told he would install the same Nissan part, for only 240. When I confronted the Nissan dealer on the cost difference, they said they charge by the job, not the hour. Nissan service is a rip off and I am not going back to Nissan for service.

Like some of the other posts I have read, the engine of my fiances 03 Pathfinder started making a knocking noise. I was told by the mechanic that the screws from the butterflies in the intake manifold had backed out and fallen into the engine. The cost would be 3000-4000 to fix, and that's if there wasn't any other damage to the pistons, cylinders, etc... I can't beleive that Nissan won't stand by their engines or provide any solution to this reoccuring problem with many of their makes and models. Especially when that is nothing a routine maintenance schedule would diagnose. There are probably many others out there that Nissan is giving the shaft to, and that is flat out unacceptable. I can tell you one thing, if I can help it, none of my family members, friends, or anyone I can speak with will ever consider a Nissan vehicle! Such a shame for what on the surface seems to be a reputable company, but in reality it's just another large corporation that cares about the bottom line and not it's consumers. Shame on them. Please Help!!

I brought a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder the service light light came on and I took it to the shop to see what the problem was they told me it was the Fule Level Sensor was gone out. I have never heard of the Sule Sensor going bad in a new truck. I called Customers service to see if Nissan would pay to repair my truck, they told me no. I think that there is a lot of customer out there with the same problems with their Nissan Pathfinder, this havae to be a defect in this car, because out of all of the new cars, I have owned I have never had this problem before. I will never buy another Nissan, and I will tell all of my family and friend about the problems I have had.

My daughter was geting ready to look to buy a new nissan Pathfinder. Now she is looking at other dealers. If you want or care to know more about my vist to nissan please call. I have loved every nissan I have ever owned.
