NHTSA Complaint #10837260 — 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER

ON MY 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER, WHICH IS ONLY 8 YEARS OLD, I HAVE REPAIRED MY TRANSMISSION DUE TO AN ATF CONTAMINATION VIA THE COOLING SYSTEM AROUND 95,000 MILES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AT 90,000 MILES USED. THIS AFFECTED MY SPEED CONTROL AND ALL RELATED SYSTEMS.THE RADIATOR WAS REPLACED ALSO DUE TO THE CONTAMINATION. THIS HAS AFFECTED MY COOLING AND HEATING SYSTEM AND ALL RELATED SYSTEMS.THIS COST MY EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY AROUND $2,900+ (GLAD I WAS SMART ENOUGH TO PURCHASE THIS WARRANTY), HOWEVER IT COST ME MY DEDUCTIBLE OF $200.00. ON FEBRUARY 12, 2016 I DROPPED MY NISSAN OFF FOR A FOLLOW-UP REPAIR TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TIMING CHAIN ASSEMBLY AFTER GOING IN FOR A SIMPLE ALIGNMENT EARLIER (WHICH WAS A WASTE OF MONEY BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO PURCHASE A CAMPER KIT IN ORDER FOR YOUR ALIGNMENT TO BE 100%, $249.00 OUT-OF-POCKET). THIS CAUSED ME TO HAVE TO BUY A BRAND NEW SET OF TIRES OUT-OF-POCKET WHICH CAME WITH A FREE ALIGNMENT AS A SPECIAL, OTHERWISE I WOULD'VE RE-PAYED FOR ANOTHER ALIGNMENT. HEADQUARTERS NISSAN OF COLUMBUS,GA NEVER INFORMED ME OF THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUES WITH THESE SUVS! THIS RESULTED IN PERFORMANCE ISSUES. AGAIN MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL PAY AROUND $1,800 TO NISSAN FOR THE REPAIRS AND ME A $200.00 DEDUCTIBLE. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY IN ATLANTA,GA DURING RUSH HOUR BEFORE BECAUSE MY GAS GAUGE OR INDICATOR OR SOMETHING DOESN'T READ OR IS INACCURATE. I ALSO HEAR NOISE FROM THE TIRES OR SOMETHING WHEN I ROLL OVER SPEED BUMPS, ACCELERATE OR BANK LEFT OR RIGHT WITH BAD, HARD STEERING. THE COOLING AND HEATING SYSTEM HAS NOT BLOWN AIR AT TIMES AND SOMETIMES I HAVE TO DEPRESS THE GAS PETAL WHILE IDLING TO HEAT UP AIR THAT HAS GONE COLD. WHEN THE A/C DOES THIS I TURN OFF THE A/C AND LET THE WINDOWS DOWN, PRESSING THE GAS PETAL DOES NOT WORK. NISSAN SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM WITH THIS SYSTEM WHEN DIAGNOSING VEHICLE?!
