| Description of the problem | The problem is the lost power / died randomly in various situations on the nissan pathfinder 2005. The failure has occurred at a low speed accelerating into an intersection, at a stop and go traffic, at a steady speed on a city road, and at a highway speed. The failure always occurs without warning or failure indication. I lost complete power; the "service engine soon" light comes on along with the other lights in the dashboard like if the key was just turn on without starting. This failure has been very scary for my family as it has occurred on the highway. No engine codes were found, so no repairs were attempted by the dealer. What is most discomforting is that when i did research on the web, i found that it is a very common problem with this model. Here is a one of the many links i found: http://www. Aboutautomobile.
