Transfer case have been leaking starting about 45k miles and didn't even stop after Nissan resealed it. Recently about 90k miles started to make whining noise that seem to be less noisy after 35mph. There also is scratching noise on slow down. Took the car to dealership and they recommended driving the car on 2wd only. Replacement is over $4,500.

Inferior differential/transfer case of the 4wd - there is a knocking noise when turning either direction when in 2wd - 4wd no longer functions. Substandard for them to use a car differential in a truck that is heavier.

My wife picked up our two young kids (4, 6 at the time) from school and while on the way back home our 2005 Nissan Pathfinder totally shutdown as she was passing through a busy intersection. Thankfully, she made it through the intersection before being hit but was broken down in the street. Unfortunately, I was out of town for work that week so she called our neighbor and he helped get the truck back to our house. After discussing the situation with me on the phone, she called several transmission specialists and had one of them (a+ transmission) pick up the SUV the next day. After a running a diagnostic test and determining the severity of the transmission problem, they had to pull the transmission to do a complete inspection. They determined that the radiator had leaked into the transmission and transfer case and that the whole transmission including the radiator needed to be replaced. We opted for a rebuild since transmissions from Nissan were on 6 month backorder due to other Nissan's having the same issue. We spent almost $4,000 to fix this problem with no help from Nissan. After some research online, we found many complaints regarding this issue and the lack of a recall by Nissan. This is a significant safety issue that Nissan has failed to adequately address. I hope that someone will make Nissan do the right thing.

There were numerous problems with the vehicle. The radiator was replaced, the transmission had a whistle up shifting from 1st to 2nd gear, the tires were feathered and an alignment was needed, the door panels creaked, the brakes made a clicking noise, the drive belts were replaced twice because of a noise the consumer heard, the plastic finisher on the running boards kept popping off, the strut on the rear hatch leaked due to a poor seal, the transfer case leaked, there was hesitation when accelerating from a stop, the 4-wheel drive light illuminated on the dashboard, the dealer stated it failed due to internal failure. The rear shocks leaked, the front pinion seal and oil pinion seal were replaced and the rear hatch window leaked. Updated 04/06/10.

While driving my 1998 Nissan Pathfinder, with no warning, the vehicle began bucking and stalling until it would not drive. The car was towed to the local Nissan dealership. The next day, we received telephone call from the service dept who informed us that the transfer case was damaged. The service rep told me that there was an internal defect on the part and that the problem was very uncommon. The transfer case is associated with the four wheel drive on the Pathfinder - which is something we have probably used less than 10 times in the 4 1/2 years that we have driven the car. Parts and labor on this repair would be approximately $2,500. I asked for Nissan's customer service number and contacted them immediately. We were told that the part had to be specially ordered and would not be fixed for 4-5 days. On the 4th day, we were contacted by the service dept to inform us that they had replaced the part, but that the transfer case had apparently damaged the transmission and that had to be replaced. This would be the total of repairs to approx $5,000. Again, I contacted the Nissan's customer service because I had not gotten a telephone call from my original call. When we finally reached someone at the customer service dept we explained that we had gotten all the recommended preventative maintenace on the Pathfinder. This was also the 3rd Nissan we had purchased and up until now had been very satisfied with their reliability. Given our purchase and maintenance history,we were led to believe from the service dept that Nissan would give us a break on the repairs. In addition, we also believe that the defect should have been detected during our regular preventative maintenance (which totals in the thousands of dollars) and that what was an otherwise well maintained transmission was ruined by a defective product. Nissan's final response was that we were out of warranty and they would do nothing for us. Why was a defective product not recalled?.
