Consumer Description
WHENEVER I'M DRIVING THE CAR BETWEEN 30-40 MPH THEN RELEASING THE GAS PEDAL, THE ENGINER MAKING A THUD AND THEN CREATE A GRINDING NOISE. THE NOISE WILL GO AWAY WHEN GAS PEDEL IS PRESSED OR THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. I HAD BEEN CONTACTING LOCAL DEALER TO FIX THIS BUT THEY WAS HELPLESS AND SAYING THIS IS NORMAL. THE PROBLEM IS CONCERNING ME BECAUSE I'M PLANNING TO TOW MY NEW TRAVEL TRAILER WITH THIS PATHFINDER AND WHOS KNOW WHAT HAPPEND WITH THIS ENGINE WHEN I TOW MY TRAILER ON FREEWAY. I WANT NISSAN TO EXPLAIN WHAT'S HAPPENED TO THE CAR AND WHAT IS THE CAUSE. THE ANWSER, 'IT'S TOTALLY NORMAL' IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I'VE DRIVING LOTS OF DIFF CAR LIKE HONDA, TOYOTA, FORD, MURANO, ETC. NON OF THOSE MAKE THIS KIND OF NOISE.
