$70 million went for reimbursements and modifications and $10 million for the lawyers.
The suit alleged design defects. For years VW/AUDI blamed customers for not maintaining their cars right. Sounds familiar.
Nissan will get there's. It's just a question of when.
transmission cooler before its to late
bottom line not Nissan
As many of you have stated about the shuddering and vibration it has become noticeable within the past few months at 40-50 mph as well. I guess i am going to be proactive and get the radiator replaced and tranny flushed and check the u-joints. I sure hope this will avert what seems many of you have had to deal with which is bull@**%. Nissan, as someone else said, needs to step up and deal with the problem they know is an obvious manufacturer defect, and almost seemingly negligence now at this point! I love my pathfinder but i surely don't want to be paying for it again in major repair bills and judging by the way Nissan handling this i won't own another! I will post back what i find as well and may be joining the class action suit with you all!
Kmon.
1. If we start the repair now, which brand should we go with? (keep in mind we'd like nissan to reimburse us for the repair)
2. Has nissan actually reimbursed anyone for a repair, or has everyone who's had nissan assistance waited on them to make the calls re: repair and pay directly?
3. Any other advice.
Thanks for the help!
For what these are "valued" at they aren't worth the money. Up to you but I would pass.
I did mine as a precaution so couldn't really go after nissan for the money but if I did I would probably just no accept no for an answer and bother them daily about it.
So far so good.
Find out who makes the other radiator and how it's rated. make your choice on quality and have Nissan give you the same warranty, no matter which radiator you choose. Have them change your hoses. Sometimes the trans flush has to be done a number of times and it doesn't work because the transparts are too contaminated.. Hope you have an honest dealer. Good Luck.
you stated something interesting to me [quote,have a reliable tranny place switch the cooler hoses to make sure it doesn't happen again. ]
Could you please tell us what switching the cooler hoses will do when everything was replaced on the guys car with an updated radiator and I'm sure they blew out the transmission hoses please explain this thanks . :confuse:
for a 2005 pathfinder LE .. this is too much
within a year .. where do I begin?
Jan catalytic converter 1200$
June Fuel gauge sensor 700$
July U Joints replaced 200$
August Raditor replaced & Transmission flush $1274.75
present (august not over yet) .. the dealer told me I need to replace the "other" catalytic converter, I didn't know there is another catalytic converter, for 1200$
man .. that's it for Nissan
I did read some of the post about the lawsuit. Should i call them too? if anyone has suggestions please let me know.
Wish me luck dealing with Nissan tmrw! ( fingers cross)

My '05 Pathfinder has already received a new (not rebuilt) tranny and new radiator at 59000. It now has 71000 with no noticeable problems. But, what if anything can I do to prevent it from happening again? Feedback would be appreciated!! Thanks
---- Someone Please Inform Me on How I Can Join This Class Action Lawsuit-----
After the runaround for well over a month with Nissan and two different dealerships Nissan is unwilling to admit to a manufacturing defect.
Nissan claims to compete in the same market as Honda and Toyota, but unfortunately do not share in the same quality or customer service.
and in going to check today, I don't see any progress.
Has this been closed out?

"'We now have about 300 people who have contacted us regarding problems with their Nissan Pathfinder. If we file a class action against Nissan, it would be a nationwide case including all 2005/2006 Nissan Pathfinder owners who have experienced the defect.''

I know there has to be more than 300 Pathfinder owners who have run into
this defect.
Meanwhile I will keep watching.
Anyway, Call Nissan directly, tell them your situation and you know there was a bad batch of radiators delivered and this was the cause. Push them, be nice but firm.
