2001 Nissan Pathfinder equipment problems

EQUIPMENT

I PURCHASED A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER IN 2004. THE BOSE 6-DISC CHANGER IMMEDIATELY FAILED. THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED IT BECAUSE IT FELL WITHIN THE 30-DAY WARRANTY PERIOD. IT WORKED FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS AFTER THAT AND THEN I GOT AN ERROR MESSAGE ONE DAY WHEN I TRIED TO LOAD A CD AND IT HASN'T WORKED SINCE. LAST SPRING, I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A TIRE ROTATION AND BALANCE AND MY MECHANIC NOTED THAT THERE WAS A SLIGHT FISH-TAILING IN THE BACK WHICH WAS CAUSED BY DETERIORATION OF THE REAR BUSHINGS, AND OVER TIME, THE FISH-TAILING WOULD GET SO BAD, IT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHEN BRAKING. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN CERTAIN PATHFINDER MODELS, AND NISSAN EVEN CORRECTED THE PROBLEM IN FUTURE MODELS OF THE PATHFINDER ONCE THE PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE POSTS TO THIS WEBSITE AS WELL AS OTHERS REGARDING BOTH OF THESE ISSUES IN THE 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER. HOW CAN NISSAN NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT OF THIS FAULTY EQUIPMENT? THE REAR BUSHING PROBLEM IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD, AND I PRAY FOR NISSAN'S SAKE NO ONE IS EVER KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE, BECAUSE A GOOD ATTORNEY WILL HAVE A FIELD DAY IN COURT WITH THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. IS NHTSA EVER GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? BASED ON AN ARTICLE I READ LOCATED AT THIS WEBSITE: HTTP://WWW.WALLPAPERAMA.COM/FORUMS/NISSAN-PATHFINDER-WOBBLES-PROBLEM-ROCKS-SIDE-TO-SIDE-T6838.HTML, NISSAN HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE AT LEAST 1998 AND HAS EVEN ISSUED A SERVICE REPAIR DESCRIPTION FOR NISSAN DEALERSHIPS. THIS IS A MAJOR EXPENSIVE REPAIR. SOMEONE REALLY NEEDS TO HELP CONSUMERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TT..UPDATED 12/02/14

EQUIPMENT

MY BOSE CD CHANGER IN MY 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER HASN'T BEEN WORKING IN A COUPLE OF YEARS. IT COMES UP WITH AN ERR2 MESSAGE. I KNOW IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL AND NISSAN HAS NOT RESPONDED TO ANY COMPLAINTS I'VE HAD ABOUT THIS.

NHTSA complaint #10262668 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

EQUIPMENT

I PURCHASED A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE 6 DISC BOSE CD PLAYER WORKED PERFECT FOR A FEW YEARS. IN 2006 IT READ ERR2. I ATTEMPTED TO RETRIEVE THE CD'S BUT THEY WOULD NOT COME OUT. AS A RESULT THE PLAYER CONTINUOUSLY CLICKED AND THEN EVENTUALLY STOPPED. NOW IT DOES NOT DO ANYTHING. I HAVE FOUND THIS PROBLEM TO BE VERY COMMON IN 2001 PATHFINDER AND INFINTIY QX4. THERE IS NOT A CD PLAYER MADE THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH BOSE THAT WILL SOUND GOOD. TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE IS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE OF THE HIGH PRICE THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MANY PEOPLE IN FORUMS THAT HAVE ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE BROKEN UNIT ONLY TO HAVE IT LAST A FEW MONTHS. I REFUSE TO THROW AWAY MONEY AND WANT TO HAVE MY UNIT REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP AT NO CHARGE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A TREND HERE WITH THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS AND I WOULD LIKE THIS MATTER TO BE HANDLED CORRECTLY.

I OWN A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER SE THAT IS CONFIGURED WITH A BOSE/CLARION 6 CD CHANGER UNIT. THE UNIT FAILED IN 2007 GIVING AN ERR 2 MESSAGE. I HAD THE UNIT REMOVED BY EMPIRE NISSAN LAKEWOOD, CO WHO SENT IT TO BE REPAIRED TWICE TO A SERVICE CONTRACTOR. BOTH TIMES THE UNIT WAS RETURNED REINSTALLED AND FAILED AGAIN. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED MANY OTHER CONSUMERS REPORTING THE EXACT SAME ERR 2 PROBLEMS WITH THEIR AUDIO SYSTEMS.

EQUIPMENT

I JUST PURCHASED A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE 6 DISC CD PLAYER DOES NOT WORK, IT SAYS "ERR2". I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT EVERYTHING WAS IN WORKING CONDITION AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER TO FIX IT AT THEIR COST THEY WOULD NOT DO IT. I THINK THIS IS BAD BUSINESS SINCE I MENTIONED THE FACT THAT I LIKED THAT THE VEHICLE HAS A 6 DISC CD WHEN I TEST DROVE IT. I AM FINDING OUT THAT MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE CD NOT WORKING. WHY DOESNT NISSAN RECALL IT AND CARE ABOUT CUSTOMER SATISFACTION?

NHTSA complaint #10193025 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL

I PURCHASED NISSAN PATHFINDER 2001 ON MARCH 2001, AND THE IN-DASH 6-CD CHANGER DEFECTED FIRST TIME LESS THAN A YEAR WITHIN THE WARRANTY. IT WAS SENT TO FACTORY TO BE REFURBISHED. AFTER THAT IT MALFUNCTIONED AGAIN TWICE. AFTER I BOUGHT THE SERVICE MANUAL FOR THE CLARION UNIT I FOUND THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY PLASTIC GEARS THAT CONTINUED TO BREAK. THE PLASTIC WILL GET BRITTLE OVER TIME AND BREAK OR STRIP OUT. KNOWING THIS, CLARION CONTINUED TO USE PLASTIC GEARS THAT WERE KNOWN TO BREAK DURING NORMAL USAGE. THIS WAS POOR ENGINEERING ON CLARION'S PART. IF THE GEARS WERE MADE OF SOMETHING STRONGER , SUCH AS TEFLON? THE GEARS WOULD NO LONGER BREAK OR STRIP OUT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT NO ONE AT NISSAN/INFINITI OR CLARION ADMITTED TO THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM MENTIONED HERE COULD BE FOUND IN MOST ALL OF THE CLARION 6-DISC CHANGERS INSTALLED IN NISSAN/INFINITI VEHICLES. A SMALL GROUP ACROSS THE U.S. WAS NOW SPREADING THE WORD NOT TO BUY NISSAN/INFINITI PRODUCTS BECAUSE OF THIS SINGLE PROBLEM. THE DISSATISFIED GROUP WAS ONLY GOING TO GET LARGER AS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE FIND OUT HOW NISSAN/INFINITI AND CLARION WERE DENYING THIS PROBLEM.
