I have a 1999 nissan pathfinder se with 45,000 miles on it. the other day, i had to have it towed to a transmission specialist as the transmission gave out as i was returning from work. the vehicle is in excellent condition all over with the exception of the transmission which just cost me $2,568 to get rebuilt. the transmission specialist informed me that i was the 3rd 1999 nissan pathfinder that he received there with less than 45,000 miles on them, all were manufactured in november, 1998, and that he had to rebuild the transmission on each one pf them. he informed me that nissan had a problem that they were aware of but never brought it to the attention of the owners of the vehicles. he said the transmission should not have failed. funny, all made in november, 1998. there is no way a pathfinder in excellent condition with 45,000 miles on it should have the transmission give out. i sent 4 emails to nissan without any satisfaction including one to their product executive who did not respond. the only response i received was take it to a dealer. how could i do this when it had to be towed? they were no help at all and failed to indicate any problems with transmissions but how is it that i came across 2 others in one day? these transmissions are defective and nissan knew it! *tr | |||

My service engine soon light came on after i filled it up with gas. was told it was an oxygen sensor problem and then the code was cleared. light came on again and it can't be seen at dealer for another week. a few months ago i had to get the transmission replaced and the rear and front shocks replaced and the car is only 3 years old. the company says that that happens sometimes. *nlm | |||

When in 4-wheel h and consumer shifts to 2 wheel h, it will not engage. also on 6 jan 2001, complete transmission failure. dealer cannot find cause, dealer stated that consumer should exit the vehicle and rock it back and forth to engage the transmission when it locks up, consumer states that this indicates that the transmission does not operate as intended. *ak | |||

Consumer can not get 4-whell drive to operate properly. was told by dealer that the manual was wrong, that the selector lever was to be in 'park' and then was told that it was a matter of technique. nlm |
