    @kevinnorris6558منذ 3 سنوات My dad bought a 2007 brand new and still has it today. It's had a few problems but man, they really don't make em like that anymore. People around id="hidden2" class="buttons"> me are surprised to see that this car is a Nissan, especially when they look at modern Pathfinders. This gen was definitely the best gen for the model. ....وسعت 111

    @kevinestep5078منذ 2 سنوات Great video. I have a 2008 model I bought new, and still drive as my only vehicle in 2022 with 320,000 miles. Yes, I’ve had a few problems over the year, and one rebuilt trans but I’ve pulled trailers very often, including a 14’ flatbed and a 6’x10’ cargo, fully loaded many times. All in all this has been the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. ....وسعت 9

    @chrisgarcia5462منذ 2 سنوات My 05 Pathfinder is still pulling strong along with 210,554 miles on it. I changed only 4 things on it since I bought it back in 07 and it's been bullet id="hidden4" class="buttons"> proof since then. The radiator was the first thing I changed before the cross contamination problem became an issue 2nd the timing chain guide noise at 140,000mil 3rd valve covers 4th and a very important one was the firewall heater core hose tube at 89,000mil. It's just a awesome reliable SUV if you know where to keep up with some of the common issues that have plagued this SUV from 05-10. ....وسعت 14

    @PhoenixRising251منذ 3 سنوات First of all, great video ma'am. I own an 08 with the VK56. Bought it used and one of the first mods I did was bypass the radiator coolant lines st id="hidden15" class="buttons">raight to the trans cooler. People tend to not flush the cooling system like they should and the coolant becomes acidic causing the trans fluid lines in the radiator to fail. It's a bad design but can be totally eliminated for about $5. ....وسعت 13

    @GoCoyoteمنذ 2 سنوات One thing you missed was the evap emissions canister that gets clogged with dust.
    Still have our 2007 pathfinder. The dreaded coolant/transmission id="hidden16" class="buttons"> oil cooler leak occurred after the warranty expired. Trying to figure out what to do, and thinking of getting a new vehicle, as a rebuilt transmission was $7k. Got an email notification that Nissan had extended the warranty. Ran out to the car, and we were just under the repair milage by about 900 miles. Another transmision, and we were good to go. Been a very reliable vehicle.

    @shawnbb73منذ 3 سنوات I am the owner of a 2006. I have 241k miles. My Pathfinder is so fast and drives like a new car still to this day. I have had every problem on this list. id="hidden18" class="buttons"> I just had to replace the ignition coils and spark plugs today. I just saw this video and feel I watched this video one day to late as they did not replace all 6 ignition coils. Ugh.I did get new spark plugs and cylinder intake boots replaced. I have to go check but I think they only replaced 2 ignition coils today. Since I have owned my 2006 Pathfinder for13 years I have had every problem on this list and more. 1. The CATS go bad and you can have a check engine light on for years if you don't replace them. 2. Oil leaks needing to have all seals replaced. 3. Drive shaft 4. Radiator issues until you just say the heck with it and buy a new Radiator. The good thing is The new Nissan dealer in my town drove my Pathfinder at the same time I drove the 2020 models of Rogue and others and found none of the new Nissans have the power of the 2006. I am going to keep it on the road for a few more years. Bottom line the power and handling are superior with this 2006. 0-80 in no time flat. 120 MPH on the highway with ease. New Nissans are not something I can drive. Thank you for the video. Wish I had seen this a bit earlier but now I know it was not just me with all these Pathfinder issues. ....وسعت 6

    @ratri4969قبل 6 أشهر My 2005 Pathfinder just hit 237,000 miles (the distance from the earth to the moon). I had to change the shocks and struts and the two control arms because id="hidden29" class="buttons"> there are 18 years old. These SUVs are no longer built this way. It's body on frame, tows 6k lbs, fits 7 people and if the roof is built similar to the frontier (which it is) the roof can handle 4 times it's own weight before it collapses. PS the antifreeze/trans oil issue is fixed by getting a radiator that's not OEM. The radiator failed and ended up destroying the trans. The trans itself is rock solid on that thing. ....وسعت

    @triunfaresunadecision.9882منذ 2 سنوات hello greetings, I want to ask you something: I have a 2010 Nissan Pathfinder r51 diesel and I sent it to perform a complete maintenance I bought all the id="hidden37" class="buttons"> new Japanese parts for both the block and the head I changed absolutely everything for original Japanese parts, from the pistons pumps all kinds etc The mechanic assembled the engine and did not put the original new Nissan thermostat on it because, according to what is not necessary, because Panama is a hot climate. The truck started but it was emitting a lot of black smoke, he said it was oil in the exhaust and it would stop when it burned, something that never happened. 15 days passed and the van completely lost compression. now let's talk again the shirts are worn to 16,20,17 and 17. and the mechanic blames the lathe. but watching tutorials I see that if the thermostat is not placed the engine does not reach the ideal operating temperature and It causes all the damage mentioned above, smoke, excessive diesel consumption, and wears the shirts due to lack of lubrication due to low engine temperature. I am writing to know his opinion since the mechanic blames the turner and the turner guarantees that he left all the shirts to his 12 meter???? thanks for his answer on my question !!!!!! can the thermostat heal the liners from wear? and can you build a new engine and not put the thermostat on it? ....وسعت

    @13ghosts50قبل 6 أشهر #6–Front Crash Zone Sensor.
    People who live in the “salt belt” areas of the United States, that sensor gets corroded and you will get the air bag light flashing. Nissan made these sensors out of zinc, which corrodes after time and frying the sensor, causing the air bag not to work if you are in a crash. New ones are made of different material. ....وسعت
