1995 Nissan Pathfinder SE V6

Summary:

Bad manufacturing of the frame

Faults:

The frame on the Pathfinder was rusted, and I being female, did not know to look. I loved the SUV and want it fixed. I had a wreck in it, and luckily did not overturn it. I wish that we could stand up and get something done about this.

Now I have a GEO Metro Convertible, but it does not hold a football team like the Pathfinder did. Can anyone help?

1995 Nissan Pathfinder SE VG30E

Summary:

I love my Pathfinder!

Faults:

My "check engine" light will come on sometimes, but only when I'm driving, and as soon as I apply the brakes, the light will go off.

And sometimes, when I shift into 'Drive' the truck doesn't want to move, and I have to put the pedal to the floor to get it to go. But this will go away and not come back for months.

General Comments:

Considering that I've had the car for 7 years now, and it has a ton of mileage on it, it has never left me stranded. It runs strong and performs well, although I wish the gas usage was better. It's a little slow, but that doesn't bother me.

I've never been happier with this truck. The transmission issue turned out to be just a solenoid and it only cost me $296 to fix it. Routine maintenance seems to be doing my truck well.

Engine and transmission great with the miliage, body in very good condition, but after going to Virginia state inspection found out the frame is completely rusted out and now not drivable in this state. $4,000 down the drain.

1995 Nissan Pathfinder LX

Summary:

NO good for anything

Faults:

We have a 1995 Nissan Pathfinder that was just taken in for it's 240,000 km full service. A cost of $500. We were notified after Nissan had performed the service that our vehicle is no longer road safe due to extensive rust in the rear part of the frame around the gas tank area. The rust is so bad that the technician found numerous perforations in the frame and that we could lose our gas tank at any time.

General Comments:

We have always maintained this vehicle with regular service visits at Nissan.

We are now in a position to find a new vehicle since this is not safe to drive and we cannot sell it since it will not pass inspection.

The vehicle is in excellent condition transmission, body and interior are all in great shape.

I think Nissan should compensate people for putting out poor quality on a vehicle which has a reputation for going for miles and miles beyond others.

If anyone know of someone to contact for this, let us know.

They do have a tendency to rust out prematurely, but that is only people who never wash it, or have it rust proofed. I spray the inside frame on my 95 pathfinder every year with oil and clean the inside regularly (every couple of months) and don't have a speck of rust on it. I know some people who've fixed the frame rust. It's not hard at all, I had to do it on my old Pathy... I have 290,000kms and she is still running strong, all original parts, except the timing belt and the usual maintenance items.
