Loud noise coming from engine . Brought in to shop needs timing chains cost 1500. Noow im told Nissan new of the crappy parts and continued to use them.
I was driving down a residential street and came to a stop light. Once the light turned green I eased off the brakes and push the gas. It jerked and it moved very slowly making a loud noise. I started smelling something burning. Had to get it towed to a shop and the mechanic called me yesterday afternoon and told me the transmisson was gone. Now I'm looking to have to pay $3000 for a transmission.
The engine looses power when driving. I took it to a mechanic and he told me that Pathfinder transmission tend to fail or go bad. Transmissions on car should last longer. The Pathfinder there has been cases where at 100,000 miles it already needs a new transmission. My Pathfinder makes a loud noise when im driving. Sometimes it takes a while for it to go at a normal speed. This should not be happening at this point. Nissan should tend to this problem and fix it.
