problem #1

Jan 072007

Pathfinder SE 4.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 20,000 miles

Battery goes dead intermittently,about every 3 months.Dealer has no clue as to cause after several tries.I have to carry a jump battery with me at all times.

Update from Sep 21, 2010: Just had to replace the battery again on a vehicle that nissan claimed had no electrical problems.Still have to ride around with a jump battery,the most unreliable vehicle I have ever owned.
