I purchased an 05 SE Pathfinder and the driver seat does not hold the position setting. I have to adjust the seat every time I get in the car.
I've got the same problem. At 2200 rpms a rattling noise occurs. It is coming from the engine and Nissan knows about it. There is a problem with a part in the intake manifold that has a design flaw. Supposedly Nissan is redesigning the part now but I've been getting ignored for a month now. Also as someone else mentioned I too am getting a dash rattle in the right side of the dash or A pillar. Other than that it's been great but the engine noise ticks me off. Best of luck. Keep on Nissan's back and make them fix this annoying noise!

1. First Time: I was trying synthetic oil for the 1st time. My plan was to go longer between oil changes with synthetic oil. (With regular oil, I usually change the oil at 3000 miles.) At about 5500 miles on the new oil the SES light came on. Tried a variety of things (see my previous post). I also changed back to regular oil and went through two tanks of gas with injector cleaner in. The light went off, during the 2nd tank of gas.
2. Second Time: My SES light came on again last week. (I totally forgot to change the oil at 3000 miles.) The mileage since the last oil change was 4800 miles on regular oil. I changed the oil and went through 2 tanks of gas with injector cleaner in it. The light went out during the 2nd tank of gas. (Also, for some reason, the oil level was low this time. I will keep a close look at the level for the next few thousand miles. It is not leaking oil anywhere.)
Could dirty oil somehow effect the emissions and trigger the SES light because an overly sensitive computer thinks an O2 sensor is bad? (Even though I usually change the oil at 3000 miles, I didn't think going 5000 miles was all that bad.)
I have no clue if there is a connection between dirty oil and the SES light, but I am going to make sure I continue to change the oil every 3000 miles and use injector cleaner every few months. I did this on my last 1987 Pathfinder and it was still going strong at 187,000 miles when I sold it.
Oh, I also only use premium fuel.
I hope the reprogramming fixes your problem. I think I'll leave mine alone until it "breaks".
Please share.
Thanks,
New problem, rear axle seal is leaking. 60k, mostly highway.

The story:
About a week after we took delivery, the ~8" passenger side outside end cap for the roof rail flew off in traffic never to be seen again.
We called our dealer immediately who then ordered the part.. This was on or around 1/23/2005.
The situation:
It has been over 3 weeks since this part fell off and we do not have any type of ETA on replacing it.
I'm quite disheartened that we have spent over $30,000 for a truck that Nissan is unable to provide warranty based replacement parts for.
I find it hard to believe with production of this vehicle being in the United States that there is not a SINGLE unit of this part available.
Does anyone know someone @ NNA I can contact to get this resolved?
Maybe try convincing your dealer to do the same for the endcap?
Thanks.

I just got a call from my service department and the part came in to fix the intake manifold on my 2005 Pathfinder. I'm scheduled for 2/21/05. I'll let you know how it sounds when they put in the new part!
Then THEY can deal with it.
I just don't know what I should do about this?
Hope this helps...
I'll let you know if this resolved the problem - I think it will.
Sensors are relatively easy to replace but not yet though....Haynes repair manual shows you how.
SES light may come up again because it may not be a real code and then you wasted time and money for parts.
Thanks
Also, in my search to discover a reset procedure I noticed the manuals on line and in print are different. The manual that came with it referenced a reset procedure that was no where to found. I checked the online pdf manual and I found it.
Does anyone have any other suggestions for correcting these error codes? The codes were cleared when I checked the codes, but it came back on my 3rd trip and remained on ever since.
Thanks,
John
I notice a lot of noise when driving my 99 Pathfinder at highway speeds. Seems to be coming from the roof area. It has a sunroof, but no wind deflector.
If I install a wind deflector, will that likely help ? I've installed them before - very easy, but why spend the money if it won't help prevent noise ?
Sure appreciate a word from someone that has solved this problem.
Thanks, John
