Pathfinder LE 6

This vehicle has had it's drive chain replaced, coolant system repaired, and now transmission repaired. The engine trouble light is on constantly for something. Worst vehicle ever owned. Have a 1996 Nissan Maxima and it is still a great car. Nissan trucks and SUV's should not be considered "ever" for purchase.
