| Description of the problem | It was november 2011, i was driving my nissan 2007 at that time i was 9 months pregnant. My daughter who was 5 years old was with me. I was entering the freeway when my car started to shake,make noises and it started to slowdown on its own. I presses the speeding pedal but it kept loosing power. My daughter was crying because she was scare. I was crying too i did not know what to do i was in a dangerous situation because it happen when traffic was at its pick. I could not stop because cars where behind me and i could not speed because my car was loosing power and it smell like something was burning. I manage to get off the freeway with the emergency lights and stop the car at the moment the car die(no power). A tow truck had to take as home. Nissan would not fix the problem because of the miles/warranty whichever comes first rule that they have. They would fixed for a lot of money anyway i took it to a shop an i was told it was the radiator which damage the transmission. I had it repair and a few days latter all the emergency lights on the car turn on and went crazy and the car stop at ones this time it was the gas tank. It scare me so much that i call my husband and told him, "this car is going to kill me and my children" nissan pathfinder is dangerous and something must be done or someone is going to get kill. It is a safety issue please help us. Do something we need help pathfinders are dangerous nissan won't fix this factory problem with out getting pay. Please a recall needs to get done. I beg you do something this is the usa or not? I know at list 3 more people that had the same problems with this cars and all the mechanics agree that it is a factory problem. I will never buy a nissan it is a lemon! First radiator linkage then liquid in transmission then replace transmission than it will be the gas tank what is next? |
