2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER Steering Problems

THIS IS THE SAME AS ANOTHER COMPLAINT (# 10777718) FILED THROUGH THIS SITE ON 9/25. I TOOK MY TRUCK IN BECAUSE OF THE SERVICE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT AND THE TECH REPORTED CATALYTIC CONVERTER, HEATER HOSE VACUUM & VALVE, POWER STEERING HOSE, AND TIRE GPS. WE HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK IN FOR THE 3RD WINTER SEASON AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING IT COST $725 DOLLARS TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. FOR 3 YEARS WE HAVE TAKEN IT IN AND THEY FLUSHED THE SYSTEM, REPLACE A SENSOR, AND NOW THIS? ALSO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER COSTING $1380 AND POWER STEERING HOSE AT $305. I NOTICED 4 RECALLS THAT WE WERE NEVER CONTACTED ABOUT WITH THE ENGINE, AND WE HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK IN NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THESE ISSUES AND THEY NEVER MENTIONED THE RECALLS. OUR ISSUE WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE ABOVE MENTIONED ISSUE FILED IN SEPTEMBER. WE ALSO...

I WAS COMING BACK FROM THE STORE AND WAS WAITING AT A RED LIGHT WHEN MY LIGHT TURN GREEN I HAD TROUBLE GOING I PRESS THE GAS AND IT WAS LIKE PULLING THEN IT KING OF JUMP AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD A SHOP CHECK MY CAR AND SURE THING IT WAS THE COOLING/ TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN MY CAR SINCE I HAVE NO MONEY TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, YES I TAKE IT OUT TO TURN IT ON AND MOVE AROUND MY BLOCK, BUT IS THAT FAIR ITS MY FAMILY CAR WE HAVE NOT GONE ANYWHERE ELSE BECAUSE WE DO NOT FIT IN TO OUR. SMALLER CARS I DID RECEIVE THE CLAIM FORM FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT I DID NOT HAD THE PROBLEM THEN THE CLAIM EXPIRED JUNE 7TH 2013, RIGHT BEFORE MY PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP US. *TR

TUESDAY MORNING AFTER DROPPING MY CHILDREN OFF AT SCHOOL, I HAD JUST MADE A LEFT HAND TURN THROUGH AN INTERSECTION IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I WAS TRAVELING APPROX. 45 MPH WHEN BAM!....MY CAR ALL BUT STALLED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME, I COULD BARELY GET THE CAR TO STEER AND HAD TROUBLE GETTING ENOUGH JUICE TO PULL IT OVER SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, I SEE THAT NISSAN RADIATORS ARE DEFECTIVE; THEY RUPTURE AND ALLOW THE COOLANT TO SPILL OVER INTO THE COOLANT SYSTEM IN TRANSMISSION, CONTAMINATING BOTH AND RUINING BOTH RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. THERE ARE COUNTLESS STORIES OF PEOPLE STALLING IN TRAFFIC OR COMPLETELY LOSING ENOUGH ACCELERATION POWER IN A VERY ABRUPT MANNER THAT SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET VERY HURT, IF NOT DIE. WHAT IF MY KIDS HAD BEEN IN THE CAR WITH ME? WHAT IF WE WOULD...

IN MARCH 2010 WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP FOR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYING ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTIONING. THE PROBLEMS DISCOVERED WERE A FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILURE AND AN EVAP AIR CONTROL VALVE FAILURE. ESTIMATED REPAIRS COST AROUND $1300. WE WERE TOLD THE FUEL SENDING ISSUE DID NOT EFFECT FUEL DELIVERY SO WE ELECTED TO WAIT AND SAVE UP FOR THE COSTLY REPAIR. ON OCT. 23, 2010 WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES STIFFENED AND THE VEHICLE DIED WHILE CROSSING TRAFFIC LEAVING A STOP SIGN. IT STARTED ROUGH AND WE PROCEEDED TO A FUEL STATION THINKING THE BROKEN FUEL GAUGE REPORTED FUEL IN AN EMPTY TANK. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO FUEL THE VEHICLE IT ONLY TOOK ABOUT 4 GALLONS.

PURCHASED 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER FEB 2006. 1ST VISIT TO DEALERSHIP FOR MAINTENANCE REQUESTED DEALERSHIP TO CHECK THE DIRECTIONAL STABILITY (WANDERING) OF THE VEHICLE.

TIRE PRESSURE PRIOR TO APPOINTMENT WAS 35 PSI; AFTER APPOINTMENT TIRE PRESSURE WAS 35 PSI. 3-13-06/ 2ND VISIT TO DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGE AT 2500 MILES AND ISSUE OF DIRECTIONAL STABILITY STILL CAUSING VEHICLE TO WANDER.

THE DIRECTIONAL STABILITY WAS IMPROVED, BUT NOT TO ACCEPTABLE STANDARDS. 3RD VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND MY REQUEST TO ROTATE TIRES. AGAIN STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WANDERS AND VIOLENTLY...
