That's great, I thought I was the only one. Almost 10 mos. and 24,000 miles, what can I say, it's a blast to drive!
b.
After lunch they called me and said the vibration is normal for pathfinders. The service mgr. supposedly spoke with engineers at Nissan that said nothing could be done. Hence he did nothing. Expecting me to be disappointed, the service mgr. said to call 800-NISSAN1 if I was unhappy. I called and got a friendly denial to help.
I drove another PF on the lot and it only vibrated about half as much. So I asked where they drew the line between normal and abnormal. The Service mgr was unable to answer and got quite angry.
Sorry for the long post, but how many other 2001 PF 4x4 owners have noticed slight vibrations. This vibration is felt from the drive train, but goes away when coasting. Mine happens at ~40 mph.
Was your Draw Tite round or square tube?
What do you all think?
I did find that a technical bulletin was issued by Nissan in July of 2000 about the vibration. The problem I have is that they knew about the problem before I purchased the vehicle. The vehicle should have been fixed or I should have been advised of the problem.
I am extremely disappointed in the way Nissan has handled the entire process and will NEVER purchase another Nissan.

Considering a program PF 01 with 15-20K miles.
Weighing difference in price
Anyone get a deal on PF 01 SE. What did you pay.
thanks.
Also, what is the "load compensator for better rear axle braking" you refered to? Is that something on your trailer, or is it in the Pathfinder?

Thanks to CLIMBER3 and other posters, I guess I will NOT be getting a hitch installed on my 01 PF SE AWD. I was so looking forward to transporting our 4 bikes on it, I'll just have to go roller blading instead!!!
OIL CHANGES >>>
1/ Should I throw in some Mobil 1 synthetic oil with 2,000 miles on the clock?
2/ What size drain plug gasket is required?
3/ How many gallons (liters) of engine oil is required?
4/ Is it worth the trouble of doing your own oil changes?
TIA
Would you be kind enough to provide those tips on installing these mouldings? Depending on the degree of technical difficulty, I may or may not want to spend a Saturday or Sunday putting them on!
TIA
My one complaint is the brakes. The brakes on this car are awful with or without a boat on the back. Nissan really needs to stop their cost cutting measures and put disc brakes in the rear.
By the way, I tow a 2000-2200 lb. boat, nothing real heavy and certainly not close to the 5000lb rating.
1. Clean the surface of the truck where the mouldings go very well (no wax, oil, grease, etc.) using denatured alcohol or the like.
2. Use masking tape to give you a straight guideline below which to apply the mouldings (you can adjust the tape to make it straight, not the moulding once it is stuck).
3. Make sure you leave the small gap (1/4 inch or so) in front of each moulding to allow clearances when opening the doors (they mention this...don't forget it).
4. Apply them to a room temp (not hot or cold) surface and roll them evenly to get complete adhesion.
Hope this helps.
to the rear brakes. It is connected from the rear axle to the body next to the diff.
has a spring on it. More the body sags the more brake pressure?? I pulled a 4x8
trailer with about 1/2 yard of dirt last week end and I was not impressed. The engine has
HP but no torque at low to middle rpm. The rated hp is 6500 rpm not much hp at
2000 to 2500 rpm. And the brakes........with 3500lbs you might have to used both
feet. I just about ordered a GMC Yukon when I purchaces the PF. Now I wish I did.
Steve
I'm sure that pulling with a Suburban or Excursion would be even easier but my experience has been fine.
BTW...there's a new topic under SUVs for boat towing (only 4 posts so far) but there's mention of a good web site: www.trailerboats.com

click on the "new thinking ahead" link to see videos/photos of upcoming lauches. I think Nissan will have a hit with the new Altima, especially since it will have the same 240 hp engine as our PF.
just wonderin'...
