5 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2016 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 02/15/2019

I was driving my vehicle with the heat on. A random noise appeared that I haven't heard before so I turned off the radio and still heard the noise. After shutting off the heater, the noise stopped. I turned the heater back on and the noise appeared again but stopped. Brought it to a mechanic and they said that it was the fan. I asked for a price and I couldn't believe the information I was given. I then did research and noticed that there are many complaints about the fan and the noise. Nissan should be held reliable /accountable for this malfunction.

6 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 11/14/2017

The sun visors have a defect known by Nissan, but they have not issued a recall to correct it yet. Ours started by making a loud "clicking" noise, before losing the capability to stay either up or down. They hang down. We have slammed our foreheads into the rock hard visor edges when simply getting into the car or if there is a quick stop. We have had men, women and teens bump heads into the visor simply leaning forward to change the radio station. If we were to be rear-ended or in an accident, it would could easily gash open our foreheads or give a concussion. This is a safety hazard and Nissan will not acknowledge it. The sagging visors diminish vision and are going to kill someone if it is not addressed. This issue has been a known problem by Nissan, the service departments are aware of it, but Nissan will not offer anything other than removing the visor or having the consumer pay $160 for each visor to correct.

Failure Date: 04/25/2013

I felt a grinding nose while shifted and I stop and took the car to a dealer Nissan and the find out a problem from transmission/ radiotor. There was a recall for a faulty radiator who leaks into the transmission that cause the problem and I should pay for the repair on my own. I find out that Nissan knows that problem never sent me a recall for that and I bought the car new I serviced it and all the maintenance at a dealership no word I should change the radiator . The same thing happens to me with my 2002 altima.

8 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2005 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 07/16/2010

No problems with vehicle just one day didn't switch gears and service engine light came on. That was it Nissan told me almost 6000 to fix radiator rotted and fluids leaked into transmission which made both no good. Also 2 months later cd player stopped working will not eject and cds stuck in the system.

9 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2001 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 04/01/2010

I purchased a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder in 2004. The bose 6-disc changer immediately failed. The dealership repaired it because it fell within the 30-day warranty period. It worked for about two months after that and then I got an error message one day when I tried to load a cd and it hasn't worked since. Last spring, I took the car in for a tire rotation and balance and my mechanic noted that there was a slight fish-tailing in the back which was caused by deterioration of the rear bushings, and over time, the fish-tailing would get so bad, it could possibly cause an accident when braking. Apparently this is a common occurrence in certain Pathfinder models, and Nissan even corrected the problem in future models of the Pathfinder once the problem was discovered. I have read multiple posts to this website as well as others regarding both of these issues in the 2001 Nissan Pathfinder. How can Nissan not be responsible for the repair/replacement of this faulty equipment? the rear bushing problem is a major safety hazard, and I pray for Nissan's sake no one is ever killed in an accident because of this issue, because a good attorney will have a field day in court with the class action lawsuit. .

11 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2001 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 08/06/2008

I purchased an 2001 Nissan Pathfinder in 2003 and the bose radio w/ 6 cd clarion player. "err 2" coded 3-months after I purchased it. I had an extended warranty, it was replaced with a refurbished system of the same. It is 8/08 and the system is broken again, and not covered. What are the chances that this vehicle could go through 2 radios in only 63,000 miles?? ridiculous!!! Nissan will not stand by the cheap parts used by clarion in the radio (as researched on the net). I also have an ecm problem, Nissan says it needs to be upgraded, but will not pay for it. My check engine light comes on coding there is a problem with the catalytic converter. They told me nothing is wrong with the converter, just an error with the software in the ecm. So now I won't know if the "check engine" light is on for some thing serious or it is just the converter wrongly coding.

6 cd changer cd player never works, I have tried to call Nissan as I found 100 of similar complaints but no response. The cd system is by bose. One of the top cd makers in the world.

19 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2001 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 06/11/2007

I just purchased a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder. The 6 disc cd player does not work, it says "err2". I was under the impression that everything was in working condition at the time of purchase. When I asked the dealer to fix it at their cost they would not do it. I think this is bad business since I mentioned the fact that I liked that the vehicle has a 6 disc cd when I test drove it. I am finding out that many many people have the same problem with the cd not working. Why doesnt Nissan recall it and care about customer satisfaction?.

30 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2001 Nissan Pathfinder

Cd player suddenly stopped working while it was switching from one cd to the next. I did research on the internet and found that hundreds of people are having the same problem with the same Pathfinder at about the same mileage. The dealership informed me it would cost $500 to repair. The cd player ate up my cds and I can not get them out unless I take apart the dash and every time I turn on the ignition, I hear a series of clicking noises. There should be a recall on this disk changer.

32 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2001 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 08/20/2006

I have a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder le that has approximately 74000 miles on it. This summer, the oem 6 disc cd changer by clarion in the car has stopped working properly. It was not used inappropriately or abnormally in any way. I inserted a cd into it, and it displayed "err2" on the screen, and began clicking repeatedly, and the cd did not play at all. I was able to eject all cd's from the changer, but the unit continues to not work. In subsequent attempts to play a cd in the changer, the same error "err2" displays and I hear the repeated clicking. I have not tried to replace the unit or fix this problem at all. I have done some online research and found that this is a very common defect in Nissan Pathfinders by readying/joining a forum where hundreds of users are experiencing the same problem. In fact, I have found pay services dedicated to repairing this unit because of the overwhelming population of users with the same problem. I believe Nissan should resolve this issue immediately. Thanks.

33 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2001 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 06/05/2006

Cd player on '01 Nissan Pathfinder quit working, err 2 message and whirring and clicking sounds.

34 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2001 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 06/01/2006

I purchased a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder. The 6 disc bose cd player worked perfect for a few years. In 2006 it read err2. I attempted to retrieve the cd's but they would not come out. As a result the player continuously clicked and then eventually stopped. Now it does not do anything. I have found this problem to be very common in 2001 Pathfinder and infintiy qx4. There is not a cd player made that is compatible with bose that will sound good. To purchase a new one is ridiculous because of the high price through the dealership. I have spoken to many people in forums that have attempted to repair the broken unit only to have it last a few months. I refuse to throw away money and want to have my unit replaced by the dealership at no charge. There is obviously a trend here with the number of complaints and I would like this matter to be handled correctly.

35 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2001 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 05/18/2006

I own 2001 Nissan Pathfinder and the clarion bose 6 cd player keeps braking down. This is the third failure and Nissan nor clarion are willing to fix. Moreover I was shocked to find out that hundreds of other users across discussion forums are complaining about the same problem. Clarion made a crap of cd player so they should stay behind their product. Thank you!.
