Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2007 Nissan Pathfinder based on all problems reported for the 2007 Pathfinder.
The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Pathfinder. While driving approximately 40 mph, the gear did not switch to a higher gear. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed and replaced the radiator, and also flushed the transmission. The failure recurred three months later. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (north plainfield Nissan, 545 us 22, north plainfield, NJ 07060) where it was diagnosed that the transmission control module failed and the transmission needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle could be traded in or repaired at the owner's expense. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 89,000.
Check engine light appeared and I pull two p0717 codes indicating an issue with transmission control valve with tcm. Took to shop and they found coolant mixed with transmission fluid requiring a transmission replacement.
After hearing a lot of about this problem I decided to make a complaint because it is not fair for anyone to go through this. My 2007 Pathfinder suddenly lost complete power and it wouldn't start at all after having a mechanic check it he gave me a diagnose that it was the transmission which I didn't believe I said what does the transmission has to do with power but it has a lot to do after I did some research it comes to this. The coolant on the vehicle gets inside the transmission and mixes with the oil causing the tcm (transmission control module) to fail and not to sent signal so the vehicle will start. So now I have to repair the transmission and the radiator cost will be more than 3000 dollars. I been the only owner of this car and have take good care of it as much as I can I just pay off this car 2 years ago and I don't think is fair for us that had has this problems to paid for it I think Nissan America should do a recall on this and help us the consumers.
Transmission control module fried due to contamination from the radiator fluid. Nissan was aware of contamination in transmission through the radiator and this contamination causes the control module in the transmission to short. Every time I want to start my vehicle I have to replace a 10amp fuse under the hood that will always blow every time I start it. Repair cost for a new control module are exceeding $4000 every place I go. Nissan should be responsible for repairs of their faulty design. Due to this defect my family was stranded, I had to leave my work and pick them up in below 30 degree temperatures.
1) about 2 years ago the cruse control stopped working. Have not repaired this problem. 2) in July 2015 the air bag warning light on the instrument panel started flashing. Have not repaired this problem. 3) on Dec 21, 2005 after pulling out of my drive way the transmission would not advance to the next higher gear. Stopped and put it into reverse but the SUV would not go backwards. Slowly drove it around the block back home. Transmission shop reported that coolant leaked into the pcm compartment causing this problem. Repairs have been made, cost was 3645 us dollars.
The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Pathfinder. While driving 5 mph, the transmission failed to shift gears and the engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician diagnosed that the transmission control module and the radiator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 111,000.
Towed my car to the local shop and found out that the radiator has an internal crack and leaked into the transmission. Burned out the tcm and now I am going to have to pay more than $5000 to get it fixed. Called Nissan and was told I needed to replace the radiator and transmission. Not happy about this at all.
Car was giving acceleration problems. Two days later I was in traffic and car wouldn't go past 10 mph. I was able to pull over just out of the way of speeding traffic. I had to turn the car off then back on for it to start and slowly shift gears. Still was only able to go up to 15mph at first, almost got into an accident because of my location. Once I kept going it started to speed up to normal speed. Immediately I called Nissan, but before I was able to get to them my car failed to start. I was sent the recall letter in 2012 for my make/model/year. Not right because by that time I received the letter I had already gone over the mileage. Even if I was within mileage how can you make the buyer pay up to $3000 dollars for a manufacture defect. One problem is starting to lead to another. First bad tcm then relay. I'm fed up with trying to fix a vehicle that I kept maintained with the necessary maintenance checks. I did everything right as an owner, if my vehicle had been installed with good hardware (transmission/relay/etc. ) then I would still have a good running vehicle. I will never buy another Nissan again!!!!!.
