I don't think you meant to say that!

Second...anyone had problems with the auto window feature. Specifically the window going all the way up and then starting back down. Almost like the pinch protection is kicking in improperly? The dealership can't seem to replicate the situation and won't do anything if they can't. Wondering if anyone had the same problem and found a fix for it.
Thanks in advance for any help.
I have noticed that once or twice my drivers window has done the same thing. It has only been while driving @ hwy speeds. My best guess is that the airflow around the windshield and A-pillars creates enough of a vaccuum to bind the window just enough to make it think it has bumped something. I used some silicone in the slide areas and have not had the problem since. Good luck.

My suggestion would be for you to try the 1998 and then try a 2001 and make your own choice based on needs and budget.
We carry the kayaks all over the place and the rack on the SE has been great. The guys at the kayak store talk about dilettante racks on some so-called SUVs, but the PF ain't one of them! I can't say enough about the thing.

Anyone have any info?
Thanks

I also owned a 99.5 PF LE for 2 years before trading in for a 2001 LE. The 3 areas you mentioned (steering feel, braking, ride comfort) were probably the things that I felt changed the least. Good luck...she's a nice truck when she's treatin' you right!
The wheel seemed really TIGHT! I'm not a small guy, 6'2, 190 Lbs. But it sure did seem tight, took lots of force to move, and that’s without applying the brakes.
When i apply the brakes it gets even tighter. Something must be wrong because i could tell that if an emergency came up and i had to jam on the brakes *and* swerve out of the way it wouldn’t happen.
What can be wrong?
Good Luck and stick with the complaining, your vehicle is not normal. I guess there has to be one lemon in a million and sounds like you got it. Don't give up.
Secondly, there is a curious noise when I depress the brake, but it only happens when the vehicle is in park. When I press down on the brake in park I hear a little, yet distinct click that appears to be coming from where the shifter is (it's an automatic 2WD). The brakes operate fine and sound fine in drive or reverse. I was wondering if anyone else has ever heard this click.
Any ideas? Once I get back home, I'll rip out the bulbs and check them - just wondering if anybody has any ideas. BTW - they are PIAA's, been fine for over 2 years.
The clicking sound is very likely the shift/brake interlock and is completely normal. It is designed to ensure you can't shift into Reverse or Drive from Park until you have put your foot on the brake.

So it is normal for the clicking to start out of nowhere? It didn't used to click. Then all of a sudden when I brake in order to shift into drive (from a parked position) I hear a click. You are saying this is fine. Or should I have it checked out?
Thanks.
as US dealers may have no knowledge of the DRL's.
I don't know why it would suddenly start to click. Every vehicle I have owned with this safety feature has always clicked audibly from the beginning. Maybe it just started clicking loud enough for you to hear it? Did you recently have some work done to your truck?
done or is there already some prewiring for a trailer? Many people I talk to at work have other late model SUV's that are already prewired
for trailers/Rv's. Ii'm hoping so does the Nissan. I see that you can buy T connectors for this function from vendors like Drawtite and
others . Where do they plug into?
Thanks for the help.
The clear liquid is condensation from the AC. It should drain out somewhere, but the drain is plugged. I'm sorry I don't have any better details for you.

Thanks!
[btw, when you install a receiver (I previously installed one on my '90 PF), make sure you don't let it slide around on the garage floor when you're installing it -- it scratches the receiver, leading to rust.]
The hitch I purchased (see my post above) bolted right on, no drilling required. It was powder coated instead of painted, but your suggestion to watch for scuff marks was a good one. I try to touch up any scratches ASAP so as to avoid rust.

Thank you very much
Has anyone purchased this or any other extended warranty from Nissan? If so, what has been your experience??
I didn't get any response from my posting. I will try it again. I want to lease or buy a 02 Pathfinder. I'd appreciate any information. I hope
I can get some ideas of what deals you've got before I go to Nissan dealers.
Thanks very much
