1 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 02/29/2024

Through a check engine light for camshaft position sensor bank 1 so I replaced both of them well that cleared the check engine light for a min and was running good the after five min of running it started rough idling cutting off and throwing a check engine light for p0340 again I sent it to the Nissan dealer shop they said it didn’t have no check light they tested the sensors and said there good and don’t know what it could be.

2 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 10/22/2021

The vehicle will frequently and without warning lose all power while in the roadway. Last evening I was exiting the highway when I lost engine power and power steering. The dashboard lights came on and I had to coast to the nearest driveway. This has happened multiple times before, always without warning. When I have taken it to two Nissan dealerships they have told me to continue driving it until it happens again because there is no code appearing. Finally it will happen enough where there will be a code and they can repair it. It always ends up being some sort of sensor. This has been going on for approximately 4-5 years.

3 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 10/11/2021

When I applied the brakes, a slippage and rubbing noise occurs. Moments later, I could brake. No engine lights are visible on the dashboard. This has occurred several times.

4 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 02/18/2016

I have a 2011 Nissan Pathfinder. This morning the Nissan dealership diagnosed a bad transmission which I thought was highly unlikely. They seemed as shocked as I was. They quoted me 7k to fix it and I decided to take it to someone else to get a second opinion. At this point they started being extremely rude. It is now at another shop unsure of what to do. As I got home tonight I found that other people had been experiencing this same problem in the same vehicles by Nissan. I'm not sure why the Nissan dealership acted like it was news to them. But now I just want it fixed and have a safe vehicle for my family. I'm hoping it gets recalled so that I'm able to get it fixed.
