1995 Nissan Pathfinder XE 6 cylinder from North America

Summary:

Love my Pathfinder, but it has a rusted frame

Faults:

95 Nissan Pathfinder XE. Just told by a mechanic to junk it due to frame rust. No rust on body, great interior, everything functions great including towing package, security alarm.

So, I read the comments about other Pathfinders. I just wrote an email to Newsome Law Firm on the net, who conduct class action suits for vehicles. If I get a response, I will post it here!

I have a quick question. I am looking at a 1995 Nissan Pathfinder, and do not want to find out too late that all it's good for is scrap. Can you tell me where to look for the frame rot? Thanks.

Info on 1995 Pathfinder Rusted Frame Problem. I am surprised, I thought it was just my move from NY to PA that rusted by beloved truck so bad. But anyone needs more consumer rust problems, or has answers, please count me in.

I have a 95 Pathfinder sitting in the driveway with the rear end ready to fall out. The frame has rusted into above both rear wheels. I am very interested in any response from the law firm.

I take very good care of this vehicle, just bad steel in frames, huge liability.

Faults:

Automatic transmission has no reverse. All other gears work fine.

Exhaust manifold is cracked. VERY LOUD. I have heard the same thing from others.

Not worth fixing or selling.

1995 Nissan Pathfinder SE 3L from North America

Faults:

Has been a fairly decent until lately:

1) AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.

Won't go into reverse. Repair cost around $3000.00can. Nissan knows about it as it appears to be very common. On my transmission, the oil pump housing and a seal on that housing were badly worn. New oil pump, seal kit and reverse hub were required to complete the repairs.

2) RUSTED FRAME.

I was pulling the rear wheels off to install an airbag kit (rear suspension is very soft on the pathfinder) when I notice that the rear portion of the truck frame is rusted badly. I don't see how it is repairable without replacing the whole thing or at least the back half. The dealer advised me that the rust warranty expired after 5yrs and might I try to contact Nissan Canada. That will be my next step I guess. I am sure they will ignore me as well. Dangerous situation as I am sure the back end will eventually fall out causing a wreck.

General Comments:

Nissan needs to address this frame issue now. I live in a province that has no yearly inspection. People here will not be aware of this issue until it is to late.

1995 Nissan Pathfinder SE 3.0 VGE from North America

Summary:

Excellent, would buy again

Faults:

Transmission @ 118k for $3500.

Transmission @ 120k.

Timing Belt @100k.

General Comments:

Hi this was a great vehicle, Never had any problems until the trans. I was out of town driving on 2 inches of snow when it locked up.

I personally think it was electrical, the trans shop played me for the whole replacement. Then it started making noise again, and they replaced it. Drove it for about 5k more and the noise came back. It was a sad day when I traded. Saw it on ebay, and they made some money off me. I hope it's being treated as nice as I did.. sob.. I miss it.

Frame Rust.

General Comments:

Underpowered Motor, but other than that, it's cool. Wish it didn't have the frame rust problem. Can't even sell this Mint Pathy because of the frame problems.
