Car stalled out and won't restart.

- Hamilton, OH, USA

While driving on US 95 in DC, MD and NJ, when the traffic became stop and go, my SUV could not get into 1st gear to go. The engine revved, the car shook and made noises. Several times I came close to being rear-ended. This problem also occurs when starting after a red light, when accelerating on a highway (usually 3rd or 4th gear), and when turning left on a green arrow. Not only has it caused many close calls with being rear-ended, but it has also incited road rage in people who are driving behind me. Now I'm told I need a new transmission and also a new coolant system which leaks due to a fault in the system known by Nissan, and pollutes the transmission. This is a terrible safety threat and Nissan should own up to it and pay for the repairs.

Vehicle cuts off while driving and also from time to time, will hesitate or refuse to crank/start. Noticed a recall in 2010 for ECM, which is documented to have been repaired in 2014. However these exact same issues are taking place with the vehicle now in 2020, does this mean the repair was completed with yet another faulty ECM. This vehicle places my family in danger while driving.

The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that there was a leak underneath the front of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be inspected. The contact was informed that the was coming from the brake lines. The contact was also informed that the brake fluid leak damaged the battery. The mechanic repaired brake line and replaced the battery however, the failure recurred with the battery. The vehicle was towed to the same independent mechanic who was unable to diagnose the second failure. The vehicle was then towed to anderson Nissan (3842 AZ-95, lake havasu city, AZ 86404) who diagnosed the vehicle with a loose electrical connection with the battery relay. The vehicle was repaired and returned to the contact however, the failure recurred the next day. The contact had the battery replaced once again however, the battery failed for the third time. The contact had the vehicle towed back to the same dealer where they discovered a defective radiator which caused fluid to leak into the transmission. The vehicle was then diagnosed with engine failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

NHTSA recall number: Opens new window takes away from VIN lookup section> 10V-517 recall date: October 28, 2010 manufacturer recall number: PC068 summary: The intelligent power distribution module (ipdm) assembly contains an engine control module (ECM) relay that has a diode for electrical current noise reduction. The ECM relay may allow silicon vapor to form and, over time, the silicon evaporates from the diode molding which causes silicon oxide to develop on the ECM relay contact due to arcing. Safety risk: This could cause engine stalling increasing the risk of a crash. Remedy: Dealers will replace the ECM relay inside the ipdm assembly.

The issues with the vehicle began at 133834 miles. When driving, at times it would vibrate out of nowhere. After a stop, it would shift up hard or fail to downshift and then hit hard when it finally would go in to gear. Once I took it in to a mechanic, the following codes came up: P1731 - 1st gear logic error, P0430- cat efficiency bank 2, P0455- evap system leak large. The recommendation was "tear down". in the end, I had to replace my: Transmission, radiator, torque converter, valve body, valve body solenoids, catalytic converter bank 2, exhaust gaskets, oil pressure sensor, and oxygen sensor. With a total cost of $4,824.65. I will upload the services my Nissan Pathfinder had to have.

I started having trouble with my car exceeding as I would push the gas petal. This started happening around 140,000 miles on the vehicle. I took in to a mechanic who stated that it may be the radiator. I purchased a new radiator and as he put it in he said it looked as if the fluids were mixed. I put all new fluids in the car. Still I couldn't get the car to exceed past 30 mph. I parked the car because of the cost in repair. I finally took it to the Nissan dealer who confirmed that it was my transmission that was gone in the car.

I was able to steer to the shoulder, my emergency lights wouldn't even turn on. As I was calling my husband all of a sudden it turned on on it's on. It was a horrible experience. There was a recall they fix back on 2011 dealing with the ECM relay. I called viva Nissan on zaragoza located in el paso, tx and the girl wouldn't help she told me to call 1800nissan1.

On 2-4-2017 my timing chain system began making a loud raddling noise

- Seattle, WA, USA

The vehicle was making a high-pitched noise during acceleration @ apprx. 2000 rpms. Additionally, I had recently noticed sluggish and uneven acceleration. Upon taking it to the dealer, I was informed that there was a problem with the inner timing chain and tension guide/shoe, a worn drive belt and drive belt tensioner, and a stuck fan belt clutch. In addition, I was told that there is also potential damage to the inner timing cover. Nissan is aware that there is a defect with the timing chain and tension guide/shoe. The defect could cause the timing chains to slip - which would lead to immediate engine damage - and create a potentially dangerous situation in traffic. In addition, the faulty part could cause other engine issues (like the ones reported).

Started loosing speed while driving on the interstate with my daughter in the SUV with me, so scary. But I managed to coast to the nearest exit roll in time for it to get to 0 on odometer. Then had it towed to my home. Few days later took to two different auto repair shops(towed to 2nd shop because SUV would not go pass 20 and it would just stop once down to 0)who informed me there were transmission issues, final shop said the radiator ruptured causing water, transmission fluids, and etc to all mix which has caused transmission to go bad my options are to rebuild, but another transmission or let the SUV go..upongoogling to see if others have or had this problems I'm totally not alone and yes I'm pass the 50,000 N 100,000 range however I still think some etching shouldbe done, being I took N trace very gd care if my SUV only allowing Nissan to repair and maintenance my SUV. I was told to repair this will cost me 3900 plus. I shouldn't have to pay any to be honest but done type if help would be greatly appreciated for not only me but everyone experiencing this issue.
