2001 Nissan Pathfinder LE review from North America
"Still Love It!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Hello All, Up until now I was feeling lucky since my Pathy didn't have any issues. I had only changed oil and brakes when needed and 2 years ago I had to replaced the tail pipe cause the original one got rusted.
I am surprised to see that many of you didn't mention it as the problem, cause the guy @ Midas told me he replaces at least 3-4 every week on both Pathfinder and QX4.
Anyways, just turned to 100K miles, so the extended warranty has expired and guess what? just after first of expiration the CD changer got stuck and this past Friday, one of the coil passed away, took it to the local shop where I get the oil change, he suggested to replace all coils since they all have similar life, so I did at a cost of $1279.00 included labor and all six spark plugs as well!!! What a rip-off. By hey, I have been driving it for free for past 3 years, so it is not a bad deal after all.
