Thanks.
But, of course did not check if all the heat shields were tight, so got a 4 clamps from home depot, cleaned up the rust and put the clamps on the other parts of the heat shields to prevent future issues.
Never happens when just two people, at least three people.
The tsb calls for ground bumper and bumper seat.
Have red the psi to 30 cold, so 33 hot. This greatly reduces the bumping.
Did the parts solve the issue
Thanks

Did you have it resolved under original warranty or extended warranty.
I have the security plus extended warranty. And they said they do not cover this part.
Thanks
Khurram
Checked the part
55240
Not covered under extended warranty.
Oh well, parts are online at nissan courtesy parts for 110 incld shipping, dealer was 160 approx
Will go to my reg mechanic to install the new bound bumper and seat for me.
Thanks
Thanks

My pathfinder has developed an incredible vibration when braking from say highway speeed to 30 or so, evident there though not as pronounced. My guess is warped rotors. I called for service yesterday and found that rotors were only warranteed for 18k miles. Mine were ok then. Does anyone know if this is true? I had a 2000 Acura with warped rotors and they were replaced FREE at 44k miles. Is Nissan really this much of a mickey mouse car maker? I was at the dealership yesterday testing a new maxima, after this episode, went down the street and signed on for another acura tl. Thanks for the input
How necessary is it to change the differntial oil-I do not know if I have lsd, any way I can find out.
Change the coolant, it looks clean
change the auto transmission fluid.
change the fuel filter.
Have changed the air and micro cabin filter, got the visual inspection done.
thanks for your help.

Thanks for replying back so fast
yes, found the orange sticker. It was dirty, could barely read it. Took if off, cleaned it and saw it says use lsd only.
have you changed the coolant, fuel filter, auto transmission oil.
THanks
Khurram
will look into that

Now my pf is at the dealer because the engine started making a very loud knocking sound. They don't know what it is but said that it is major. I bought it new 5 years ago and have faithfully kept up on the oil changes.
Good luck with yours. I hope the info helps you.
Is this repair justified/prudent? I do not do any off-roading except for minor use of dirt boat ramps.
Dealer has always been good to me, but there's always a first time.
I also discovered a secondary cause recently. If you do a hard braking, either from highway speed to a stop light or maybe a panic stop; the rotors obviously get very hot. The hot rotors can melt/burn the brake pad material causing a small micro-layer of friction material on your rotor. This is a combination of the heat from the rotor and the type of pad. If you look at your shiny rotor and see a rectangular shadow or mark on the rotor, then this is likely some of the cause for the warped rotor sensation. To prevent this, avoid a hard stop and then sitting with your foot on the brake. You need to ease forward a little to keep the pads from "sticking" to the rotor while they are screaming hot...
Very light coatings can sometimes be removed with sandpaper, but they will come back if you don't get a better pad. Something like a Hawk pad is a good choice, I am experimenting with Performance Friction since it was available local. I would avoid generic OEM stuff from brake shops unless you have good performance history.
Mine was so bad, I replaced rotors and pads. Now I will see if it comes back or not.
Since a lot of this problem is driving habit-based, automakers/dealers cover the issues at their own discretion.
I don't know about the lighter , wiper, etc. but, I imagine they don't work either. Is there
a ready solution?
Make sure the rad cap is not clogged (cheap replace it) also to allow the collant recovery tank to work properly
Note- limited heat flowing from the middle of the rad makes the clutch for the clutch fan real lazy.
Hope this helps others with this problem. Mark
1st problem, when I ease my foot on the accelerator at around 40/45 mph or accelerate, the tranny upshifts & downshifts noisily.
Dealer says normal.
2nd problem, almost since new, bad creaking sound rear right on take off. Getting worse.
Dealer can hear it, but does not know what is causing it. I'm stuck with it.
3rd problem, really, really noisy windshield wipers, sometimes vibrating on screen.
Dealer changed blades, once made no difference. Now says normal.
4th problem, here in Sth Florida, the screen demist does not work well at all. Try all settings/combinations.
Have not told dealer, he is not interested in other problems, see no point in adding more.
Had I known: that the 4x4 was unusable, except in sand or snow, Plus needs Premium gas, I would never have bought this truck.
Reg. Frank R.
Switching to synthetic will make the engine smoother.
blades, maybe not the rubber but the steel may be bent a bit, that is how my mechnanic fixed mine.
premium gas, you can use reg for a while.
If anyone can tell me if it is possible to do the pathfinder oil change without lifting the car. It is high, so can easily get in.
Also, a link to the easiest instructions on how to do it.
Thanks very much.
Khurram
Anyone? Wow I remember when my PF was new & this forum wasn't dead.
