Hope this helps.
BTW... I also had the gas gauge issue with the X-Terra I owned before the pathfinder. They had a recall/reimbursement for the issue years after I had the problem and I had already traded the vehicle in and trashed my records of the repair. How convenient...
Hmmm... I'm seeing a pattern here...
Fortunately, my certified pre-owned warranty also paid for my rental car. This ended up being no charge to me which is a relief since I'm currently out of work.
Hopefully the many others that were not previously covered will be reimbursed now.
I will make it my duty for the next 10 years that i will probably be paying for this car to make sure NOBODY BUYS ANOTHER NISSAN!

I'm hope we can get this problem fixed with Nissan because I can't afford to pay for all these high dollar expenses. I've taken really good care of this vehicle and kept in a garage, etc, which burns me up even more.
This morning I called Nissan again after reading about the warranty mentioned in previous posts. It appears they may be starting to cover this now! I got a case/reference number and had to fax my receipt and proof of payment to Nissan today. They said someone will call me by tomorrow. I can only pray that I will magically get a check in the mail soon. Still will NEVER buy another Nissan - EVER.
The second issue that we had was with our defective catalytic converter. I am truly dissatisfied with the service that I have received from my Nissan dealer repair shop. They refused to provide service through warranty. Also they were very rude, obnoxious, and disrespectful. My wife Angela has placed a complaint with your office about the crappy service that she received from Premium Nissan. Our catalytic converter was defective through manufacturer error and they refused to repair it. The manager of Meineke was who showed us the issue and made us aware of the manufacturer defect, and told us about the warranty. I also did research and spoke with a rep from the EPA office about the matter. The catalytic converter is supposed to be under warranty for 80,000 miles, in which our vehicle was at 78,000. When she reported the problem to your office, the only advise she received was to take it to another dealer. When she took it to another dealer, she was told that she would have to pay $120 just for them to diagnose the problem, and then pay for the converter to be repaired.
The third issue we just had last week. The vehicle would not drive. I had my mechanic check it out only to find that the antifreeze was leaking info the transmission. The mechanic stated that is was due to a faulty radiator. Once again we called Nissan only for them to say there is nothing that they can do, since the vehicle is out of warranty. We had to put out the money to replace the defective radiator and have the transmission serviced.
Now this past Friday the tranny crapped out on me, costing me money for tow also. My mechanis says the cheapest price to replace the tranny is no less than $3500.00. I tried to call Nissan USA and the service manager refuses to return any of our calls. I am sick and tired of Nissan. My next step is to contact the local news, radio news, and attorneys worldwide and see what can be done. I myself am a radio personality and DJ, and I will announce to the world that Nissan does not take care of their customers
Mine popped in July.
Nissan jerked my chain for 6 weeks before denying any assistance.
Was set to bring it in to an independent shop for repairs and then join the KGG lawsuit.
Now Nissan will have one last chance to satisfy a long term customer.
I made it very clear that I will not accept a tranny flush or a rebuilt.
And if Nissan didn't make things right, I will pull it out of there and go the lawsuit route.
BTW.
I will also be receiving a $478 refund check for the fuel sensor replaced at 62,000 miles. The warranty on this has been extended to 7/72,000.
I will update when Nissan calls me regarding my situation.
Please be advised, the radiator warranty extension pertaining to 2005~2010 Frontier, Pathfinder and
Xterra also applies to US vehicles. To confirm US vehicle VINs for eligibility, refer to Service Comm.
also as far as the transmissions:
Also, when submitting a radiator assembly claim with consequential parts or labour, please add these
additions to the one Work Order line with the radiator assembly as the PFP (primary failed part). This will
help expedite the claims process.
Although it's better than nothing, I'm glad that they were willing to cover the expenses of your tranny. I find it ridiculous that they won't cover everything, especially considering the primary cause of the issue was with the COOLER. Their whole cooling system is flawed, and quite possibly INTENTIONALLY designed to crack over time, not only to damage the radiator, but also the transmission. A lot of things are not built like they were in the past... nothing is BUILT TO LAST any longer... they're all BUILT TO BREAK just so that we can get raped in the long run. My uncle owned an '86 Sentra that lasted 230,000 miles on nothing more than BASIC maintenance and oil changes. I'm pretty sure no car built in this generation are ever going to see anything past 160 to 180K miles.
related to transmission is issue 10V517000. That one is about IPDM unit that can cause stalling.
What is Nissan issue number you are referencing?
Thanks!
I heard about the extension from surfing the web.
Called the dealer and he confirmed.
Truck had been at nissan since 11-12-10.
Still haven't heard from them.
Nissan HQ is again playing phone tag with me regarding my fuel sender refund.
They have all my phone #'s but still prefer to leave VM at my home.
Nissan never notified me about these 2 warranty extensions even though I have case numbers filed.
I think the radiator extension was more to try to head off all those class action suits that are popping up then customer service.
We don't have clear signs of coolant in transmission, my fear now is that trans is just going bad on it's own accord.
I saw that consumer reports rated the 2005 as a reliability mess, but by 2008 rating is pretty good. I'm skeptical that there was much change, given that the radiator warranty extension goes all the way to 2010.
Such a bummer. We still can't help but like the vehicle. It has the perfect towing/seating/offroad/daily driver mix that we want.
Trading for a new Pathfinder seems a little risky?!
“Nissan is extending your vehicle's New Vehicle Limited Warranty as it applies to the radiator assembly and its component parts from 36 months/36,000 miles to 96 months/80,000 miles, including damage, repairs, replacement, and related towing resulting from this issue”.
I have 2 primary concerns, the first is the biggest one - coolant leaking from radiator into the transmission. This defect wiped out my transmission - Nissan says I need to buy a new transmission and radiator. I'm so angry! Nissan's faulty radiator kills the transmission and they want me to spend $6,500 to fix there mistake. By the way, there is no assurance that the new radiator will not leak into the new transmission. I have not paid for this repair yet - I will battle Nissan first. After I come to a conclusion one way or the other, I'm planning to cut open the radiator and take pictures of the defect and will post it online for everyone to see Nissan's dirty little secret.
New radiator, lines and a re manny tranny all under the new extended warranty.
Immediately had my guy check the work and front brakes for inspection.
Nissan also diagnosed a bad vent control valve($345) that was causing the SES light to be on.
The light wasn't on when I drove it in.
Wasn't on when I drove it out of nissan.
Didn't affect inspection so I'm still driving around with a bad VCV.
But now I have the next Nissan defect to deal with.
Seems that noisy belt tensioner that popped up 2 years ago?
Now it's a noisy timing chain!
And for a mere $1,600 Nissan would fix it.
Defective shoes.
Another "issue" that nissan had TSB's on.
My mechanics getting me a price tomorrow.
And blastlane.
I can imagine the runaround you're getting for a $5,000 refund.
I'm getting asked for my credit card statement in addition to the faxed, paid in full statement from the dealership regarding my $500 fuel sender repair refund.
I think next their gonna want my 2005-2009 tax returns.
I had my fuel gauge replaced after it went out at 50,000...I didnt get it replaced til 86000...In between those miles, I had it at one Nissan and they told me read the manual, the gas light is supposed to come on and the digital reader is supposed to shut off and blink....I just busted out of there rolling my eyes becaus I knew damn well something was wrong w/ it, they just hadnt heard the of the problem yet. Anyway, not til later did another Nissan say oh yes, there is a problem..so they fixed it. NOW. the extended warranty is out and low and behold, I got my replacement at 86..the extended warranty is to 73 I think. And my damn car isnt covered under the recall VIN numbers..go figure.
I also replaced my trans/radiator a few months back..at 100 something miles....but the extended warranty doesnt cover to that, go figure.
I called Nissan back and instead of them reopening a case w/ regional manager, they just sent me a letter stating they stand by their decision from before.
What total freakin pricks!!!!!! They owe me at least 5 grand for the fixes in their garbage car I keep driving around because Ive paid to make it drivable. And someone mentioned a sensor light, Ive been driving w/ my ABS/VDC/and some other light on for about two years. Thats a couple hundred to replace and it passes inspection so screw it..Ill let the whole dashboard light up!! Im so sick of Nissan, Im glad their corporate office isnt near my home or Id be in that place every day or protesting outside.
Why isnt this on the news is what I want to know? How do we get this story on CNN/Fox?????????? I seriously want it on the news!!!
--Regards to all you Nissan owners who live in a recession like the great depression..and forking out money to fix a car that you need to get from A to B that was built w/ faulty parts and the huge corporation wont take accountability for their defective parts...that they are responsible for.
This is garbage!! and I they will lose out in the end. I would love to meet the disgusting bullheaded business person behind this major decision to not reimburse/recall all cars....what a greedy selfish no good pig! I hope his/her house burns down. and they know how it feels to lose ****.
