TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRAME WAS SEVERALLY CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FRAME EXHIBITED EXCESSIVE CORROSION AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED.

REAR PASSENGER DOOR IS PERMANENTLY STUCK SHUT. CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE, OR OVERRIDE THE MALFUNCTION. POWER DOOR LOCKS AND MANUAL PRESSURE WILL NOT OPEN THE DOOR. THE REAR PASSENGER SEATING IS NOW VERY UNSAFE AND I WILL NOT TAKE AND PASSENGERS IN THE BACK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR AN ENGINE FLUSH WHEN HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR HEATING PIPES WERE LEAKING ABNORMALLY.

MY 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER, THAT I GOT AFTER NISSAN DID A BUY BACK TO MY 2004 NISSAN QUEST (WITH A LOT OF PROBLEMS),HAS A RATTLE SOUND COMING FROM THE TWO FRONT WINDOWS WHEN THEY ARE OPEN. THEY SOUND LIKE THEY ARE LOOSE INSIDE THE DOOR. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO. THEY REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO NISSAN. UNTIL NOW I AM WAITING FOR THE SOLUTION. *JB
