1 Service Engine Light On problem of the 2010 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 05/07/2017

I bought this vehicle new in 2010. We are a very typical users with a family of four (currently with about 120k miles). I've had regular problems (service engine light would turn on). Started with spark plug replacement a few times, engine control module replacement, and now latest engine replacement. I've already spent more than $6k over the last few years on these issues. The dealer is now quoting $12k for replacing the engine. I simply cannot afford this. Please let me know right away what options I can pursue (including a lemon lawyer, etc. ).

2 Service Engine Light On problem of the 2011 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 02/05/2017

Service engine soon light continuously goes off and on. Took it to various mechanics and all say there's nothing wrong. Noticed the light goes off in certain weather, but not all the time. Since mechanics say there's nothing wrong, I can't say how it affects the vehicle. This has been an issue for 2 years.

3 Service Engine Light On problem of the 2005 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 10/27/2015

This is the same as another complaint (# 10777718) filed through this site on 9/25. I took my truck in because of the service engine check light and the tech reported catalytic converter, heater hose vacuum & valve, power steering hose, and tire gps. We have taken the truck in for the 3rd winter season and now they are saying it cost $725 dollars to repair the issue. For 3 years we have taken it in and they flushed the system, replace a sensor, and now this? also the catalytic converter costing $1380 and power steering hose at $305. I noticed 4 recalls that we were never contacted about with the engine, and we have taken the truck in numerous times for these issues and they never mentioned the recalls. Our issue with the catalytic converter is exactly the same as the above mentioned issue filed in September. We also purchased an extended warranty, and none of this is covered. I wonder who else is having the same issue with the catalytic converter?.

I also had to replace the catalytic converter, which was done by Nissan. I had all of these services performed by the Nissan automotive department. On February 28 2013, my service engine soon light comes on along with sensor light indicating a door is open. However, no doors were open. I take the truck back to Nissan, and they tell me the transmission is about to go out!!!! how is this possible? I have always taken my truck to Nissan to perform the service . I am outraged!!!! all of the service needed has always been performed by Nissan. Please help!!!!.

9 Service Engine Light On problem of the 2005 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 01/08/2010

My Nissan Pathfinder (2005) stopped in the middle of the road. I had it towed to the repair shop and was told it was a computer sensor and they repaired it. My service engine light came on a week later- I took it to the shop again and they said it needed a catalytic converter and fixed it. Now 3 weeks later the check engine light is on again!.

10 Service Engine Light On problem of the 2005 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 08/10/2008

2005 Nissan Pathfinder. Fuel gauge reads zero, half tank or somewhere in-between when the tank is full. Service engine light comes on and will not go out unless the fuel gauge starts reading correctly (which it sometimes does). This is a known problem. Nissan has even come out with a service bulletin ntb07-069a that addresses the problem. The problem that I have is that this has happened to several people, and the repair bill for a vehicle that is out of warranty is between $400 and $600. I believe that this could be considered a safety issue and a recall should be issued if people are running out of gas due to incorrect or non-existent fuel level readings.

11 Service Engine Light On problem of the 2001 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 09/08/2004

My daughter's service engine check light keeps coming on. She has pulled over at the side of the road over and over due to this since we have told her it may be unsafe to continue driving. After doing extensive research, I find that thousands of 2001 Nissan Pathfinders have this problem. Mileage is very low when this occurs. I am taking it in again to have another "sensor" replaced but this does not seem to solve the problems and the car shakes badly. F hundred/thousands are having this problem with the 2001, why has there not been a recall? e spent 800 on tires because I was told it shook due to this, then they decided it was another sensor.
