This vehicle no longer meets the epa tier 3 standards that are needed to be on the road . I as the customer am not ok with this and because of this reason I’d like the entire vehicle to completely recalled . As it is not any longer fit to be on roads . The fact is that this car presents a health risk that is known to be fatal to life . So when you ask if the re has been any fatalities the answer is , yes , the emissions from old cars like the 2003 Pathfinders have killed peoples already and guaranteed thing contributed to thier death and it will continue to be a contributing factor until it is recalled completely like it should have been done in 2017 . The moment that it was no longer meeting safe legal standards.
Unknown . The steering column broke.

Takata recall when driving on highways the back-end sways off and on which can cause you to lose control. The head lights don't appear to shine bright enough. Abs light remains on even after replacing the sensors.
The strut tower repair that was made by Nissan in 09/2011 as part of NHTSA recall campaign #11v24000 (strut tower corrosion recall because of salt in new england states) failed on 8/17/2015. As a direct result of the structural failure in the passenger side strut tower, the break-line severed causing an immediate breaking failure, and also made the car unsafe to drive because of the structural failure which exposed the engine compartment to the interior wheel well. As of 8/26/2015, Nissan USA consumer affairs div. Refused to pay for the $1,300 in repairs (parts & labor) stating that they were not responsible to make additional repairs to correct the original recall notice because the vehicle is more than 8 years old, and they already fixed it as as a level 1 repair as required under the recall. They did't care that their repair was only 4 years old and that the vehicle had a visual/safety inspection performed by a Nissan dealer less than a year ago when the vehicle was recalled to replace the air bags.
The passenger side exhaust system separated (rusted completely through) at the muffler assembly. This will be the 3rd exhaust system on the car. The first one was replaced while under warrantee because of a co2 canister failure.
I was driving about 30 miles per hour when the rear bumper fell off. After further inspection, I notice the frames were almost completely rusted away and everything that is connected to it is in danger of falling off as well including the front bumper that is about to fall off at anytime. I am not a mechanic, but I am sure it is not at all safe driving this vehicle. Every time I get behind the wheel, I fear something terrible is about to happen.
Paint is peeling off down to bare metal.
