My 2005 Nissan Pathfinder bucks as I accelerate. I took my car to lithia Nissan and they informed me that there was a defect with the transmission and radiator, and that they saw milky fluid in my car which indicated transmission and radiator fluid mixing together. The cost would be $5000 to fix both. The next day I took it to my personal mechanic, and he checked the fluid which was clear. The bucking problem still exists in my car, what else would cause this problem. The dealer said I was out of the warranty stage so I would have to pay for the repair, I dont trust them now because they told me false information regarding the color of the fluid. What should I do ?.
This was a sudden failure of the catalytic converters on a moutain road resulting in loss of power.
My 2005 Nissan/pathfinder was leased from ray brandt Nissan in July 2005. In April 2009 I purchased the lease. In January 2011 I began to have problems with the vehicle. It was determined that the issues were related to the transmission and radiator. The technician phillip rehage at ray brandt( 504 367 1666) referred me to the the national consuemrs dept. Of Nissan because this was an issue they were aware of but, had not notifed the consumer. The representative lindsey henry ( 800-647-7261 ext 47116) at the national division / Nissan USA. , acknowledged the default and therefore they replaced the transmission and radiator. This they considered was a "good will' measure becuase the vehicle was out of warrenty by 200 miles. I drove the vehicle for 5 days and the same issues arose again. I brought the vehicle back to ray brandt. This time they informed me that the issues were related to the catalyic convertor. Apparently it had come apart and damaged the engine. The dealership, ray brandt again informed me that this was also a defect by Nissan and referred me back to the national consumers' division, Nissan USA. I contacted lidnsey henry again. This time she informed me that it was Nissan' policy to extened only 1 good will measure. They refused any assistance. While awaiting for her response and the vehicle still in the shop at ray brandt, a re-call was issued on the engine. Lindsey and Nissan still contend that they only extend 1 "good-will" measure. Both Nissan USA and ray brandt Nissan acknowlege the defaults and faulty parts however, neither are willig to assist. In addition I have considered purchasing another vehicle from ray brandt but they have refused to offer a appraisal value for a trade-in. Prior to these issues I had never experienced any probelms with my Pathfinder until Nissans' defective parts malfunctioned. I am appealing to you for your assitance in rectifying thes issues.
There is an exhaust system noise when a person sits in the rear seat. The Nissan dealership refuses to replace the faulty exhaust system. The exhaust system has shifted towards the front of the car causing the noise.
