Any ideas on what is causing this problem? Or a solution?
Anyway, 2 months later and the same problem came back. I am planning on calling the dealer tommorrow to see what their response will be. My last NISSAN was the best car I ever had in 30 years of driving. I bought this one expecting even better quality. But after only 8,000 miles I have this. So far, its disappointing. I can get over it and like this vehicle again if the drain problem can be fixed.
I bought my mass air flow sensor off of ebay for $160 shipped and that's less than 1/2 of the lowest price I could find online.
I have also noticed that my fuel economy is much worse than my 05. We recently took a 6 hour trip on major highways, no traffic, driving cruise control and the best we could get was 17.1 mpg.
So, the other day, I had a 1 hour highway drive, minimal traffic. Reset my fuel economy log, turned on cruise control, flipped to manual mode. The indicator showed 4th gear at 75mph. I shifted to 5th gear and drove for 45 miles. Fuel economy 21.9.
On the way home, drove same speed in cruise control in automatic mode 17.6 mpg.
There is definitely something up with this transmission.
I too get about 17.3 mpg with a combo of city and highway travel. Geez we should have went with the V8 engine....
Does anyone else hear high pitched tones in their Pathfinder? Seriously, they are high freq tones that are just audible.
Thanks for the info.

I ordered my new ones from dealer.
did you ever resolve the heating problem - I have the same issue with intermittent overheating. I can drive all day without any problems but every once in a while ,especially going up hills, it gets really hot.

Just curious.
thanks
P.S. Thanks on the smokey tailpipe answer. I took it over to a mechanic and he said I would need to have my valves and head gaskets checked for pressure and see where the leak is coming from but it is oil leaking into the chamber.
I have a 2001 Pathfinder SE Manual with about 120k miles. Were you able to find out any more details on this issue?
