The Electrical System problem

In April 2019, I was driving at about 55 mph towing a small trailer in the right most lane of a 3 lane highway. As I approached a hill, the Pathfinder suddenly smelled liked something was on fire and the engine stopped running. I managed to pull off the highway and coast to a stop on the shoulder.   Read details...

The Software problem

My complaint is quite the same as I can see all ready listed on this site. I have a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder which I purchased in 2004. I have had to replace my sway bar which no one especially the dealer knows how it got bent and needed to be replaced.   Read details...

The Dash Wiring problem

All instrument gauges including speedometer, odometer, tachometer, gas gauge, engine temp gauge, 4 wheel drive indicator, and compass fail to work after driving. Fialure is intermittent. Service dealer has been unable to fix in under 30 days.   Read details...
