Nissan Pathfinder Maintenance and Repair

yaeh its caled the lemon law by the law they have tp replace your vehicle if its been in the shop more than 2 times for the same thing

Please don't post if you don't know what you're talkinga bout. Lemon laws are state specific and I've never seen one that only requires two repairs...most are three repairs of same item or 30 days out of service plus other requirements. Then it's a lenghty process to actually push for a lemon law replacement unless the dealer/manufacturer is extremely cooperative. Plus it generally only applies to NEW vehicles in service for the first 18 months/18,000 miles (generally).

I can't speak for other states, but here is New Jersey the process is not lengthy at all, even if the manufacturer fights you every step of the way. But the problem has to be serious (see your state's law to see what qualifies). I would think a typical rattling noise will not considered serious enough.

#2757 of 2763 Fuel Refill Issues by calebperkins

Nov 02, 2012 (6:31 am)

I have a 2003 Pathfinder, and lately I am having trouble filling the tank with gas. When I start the pump and set the nozzle to fill hands-free, it shuts off as though the tank is full well before my tank is actually full. I have been to several different gas stations and get the same issue, so I don't think it is a particular pump problem. And it seems like the problem is getting worse with each refill. Today I tried filling up and couldn't get a gallon in before the nozzle shut off.

Has anyone experienced or heard of this? Thank you.

#2758 of 2763 Car misfires - then shuts off by suzieq52

Good Afternoon everyone. I have a 1999.5 Nissan Pathfinder with 243K miles on it. I have had the vehicle for 11 years following the maintenance schedule. Body is in good shape and she still runs well. Recently the vehicle has begun to misfire and then shut off. The service engine light is also on. Any idea on what the issue may be? Any insight will be appreciated.

I just had an issue of my 2001 (with 244,324 miles on it) starting intermittently and it turned out to be the O2 sensor had to be replaced. The service engine soon light would come on intermittently as well.

Others call it the "Wobble of Death". My mechanic told me that the additional labor to remove and install new bushings almost offset the cost of putting in new control arms with bushings already installed. Since it was about $100 more and my boys were busy, I paid the extra and was on my way sooner. Fixed the problem and it drives great. When the time comes to sell, this vehicle will make a great teenager's first wheels. My concience wouldn't have allowed me to sell it with the WOD. I had learned to compensate, but since it was most pronounced at hiway speeds around mild corners after hitting a bump or pothole, an inexperienced driver could overcompensate and have it turn out bad.
