Engine Oil Leaking Problems of Nissan Pathfinder

I have a 2014 Pathfinder, it started discharging massive amounts of white smoke from the tailpipe. I took it to my mechanic and they said that it needed a new engine. He explaned, that the oil rings are bad and oil is leaking in the engine and that the only solution was a new engine ASAP. My car has less than 83,000 miles. My mechanic said I could take the issue up with Nissan directly and maybe they would help out because these cars are known to have this problem. I kept up with my maintenance. I'm absolutely disappointed and upset with this problem. It has to be a known manufacturing problem. This is a recurring issue that Nissan is aware with and needs to address.

I have a 2007 Nissan Pathfinder. I was driving it to work and all of a sudden I just felt my car`s engine is having a heart attack, - a myocardial infarction. Then it started choking minute by minute. By then I knew my silver 2007 Pathfinder is turning blue. Gotta call the code blue team. I am a nurse so this is the only way I can explain what I think what's going on rather than mechanically. The car is 7 years old, always used premium gas, use synthetic oil on it, always took the car to the dealership for diagnostic check up and maintenance, only 63,000 less mileage, I'm the sole driver. Got it towed to the dealership, got diagnosed by mechanic and told me that the timing chain system is screwed, and eventually damaged the pistons, then there was some leakage. . . . They asked me $4,100 for the repair. This expensive repair cost is very unexpected and not my priority right now cause I have other more important to spent it with. And reading "Nissan north America named in class action lawsuit alleging failure to disclose defect in timing chain systems which results in premature failure". Nissan never issued a recall and now the consumers has to pay costly repairs. I paid $4,480 something.

Transmission began shuttering, not up shifting and limited acceleration and speed on freeway at 55mph. Turns out that the transmission oil cooler lines had been leaking anti-freeze into transmission and destroyed it. Manufacturer has replaced with same cooler and rebuilt (not new) transmission. Issue still exists intermittently. Needs recall enforced. Manufacturer is pricing same cooler and rebuilt transmission at over $7000. Then agreeing to only charge $2500 - $3000 per class action settlement. Outside independent repairs quoted at $350 for cooler and less than $2000 for rebuilt transmission. Gov. 't recall should cover all new and re-designed parts. Failures will and are occurring again. Can result in accident at high speeds.

Severe oil leakage. Had to replace oil cooler assembly.

Took car for regular schedule maintenance to place I brought my car which is autotech Nissan at 622 west 5th street nyc, NY 10019. After leaving car for a day, I picked it up & drove three block when it shuttered, oil light came on & car shut off. After having it flat bed to autotech Nissan, it was leaking oil profusely. Service manager called me and told me that the mechanic had not replace oil drain plug thus causing the engine to seize. They would replace with a new engine, at no cost to me. I asked if I would receive paper work as to the engine and warranty. At that time he assured me that I would. But they will not give me any papers concerning the motor that was put in the car. The corporation stated that they should have passed the issue along to the arbitration dept. I filed a complaint the same day . Which was 01-31-03.
