2005 Nissan Pathfinder Cruise Control Problems

I STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY CAR EXCEEDING AS I WOULD PUSH THE GAS PETAL. THIS STARTED HAPPENING AROUND 140,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I TOOK IN TO A MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT IT MAY BE THE RADIATOR. I PURCHASED A NEW RADIATOR AND AS HE PUT IT IN HE SAID IT LOOKED AS IF THE FLUIDS WERE MIXED. I PUT ALL NEW FLUIDS IN THE CAR. STILL I COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO EXCEED PAST 30 MPH. I PARKED THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE COST IN REPAIR. I FINALLY TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER WHO CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION THAT WAS GONE IN THE CAR.

NISSAN ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL IN SEPT. 2013 COVERING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR AND THROTTLE BODY FOR SEVERAL MODELS NOT INCLUDING THE PATHFINDER. IN OCTOBER 2012 AND DECEMBER 2013, MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING AND IN SOME CASES STALLED ON THE ROAD. I HAD TO SHUT OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT IN ORDER TO REGAIN ACCELERATION, ONLY TO LOSE IT AGAIN SHORTLY. THE VDC AND SLIP LIGHTS CAME ON IN THESE CASES EVEN THOUGH THE ROADS WERE DRY. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS PUSHED TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT ANY ACCELERATION. BOTH TIMES, I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME BUT HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. DUE TO THE RECALL MENTIONED ABOVE, I AM REQUESTING THE NTSB REVIEW MY INCIDENT AS WELL AS OTHER SIMILAR INCIDENTS TO INSTRUCT NISSAN TO EXTEND THIS RECALL NOTICE TO INCLUDE THE PATHFINDER. *JS

NEARLY GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY CAR STARTED JERKING OUT OF CONTROL AND THEN SLOWED DOWN DRASTICALLY TO LESS THAN 30 MPH MILES AWAY FROM AN EXIT RAMP. MY PATHFINDER HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM. LESS THAN 100,000 MILES AND STILL UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. WHEN I CALLED TO ASK THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO CONFIRM WHAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, THEY SAID THE MY TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED FROM THE DAMAGE BY THE COOLANT. A FLUSH WOULD BE A PATCH FIX THAT MAY NOT WORK, AND ONLY LAST A MONTH BEST. MY RADIATOR HAS TO BE REPLACED- MY CAR IS OVERHEATING BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE. AND MY ENGINE HAS TO BE COMPLETELY FLUSHED OUT- IF NOT TOTALLY REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE COOLANT FLOWING INTO THE ENGINE AS WELL. OVER $4000 POSSIBLY AS HIGH AS $8000 ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY CAN'T EVEN REPAIR IT BECAUSE ITS SO BAD MY CAR HAS TO BE SENT OFF. WARRANTY COMPANY DENIED THE CLAIM BECAUSE THE ISSUE IS CAUSED BY FAULTY PART "TRANSMISSION COOLER" WHICH EVERYONE IS AWARE OF AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I PAID $20,000 CASH FOR MY VEHICLE A YEAR AGO! NISSAN LOST A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT EARLIER THIS YEAR FOR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN DAMAGES, AND I AM TOO LATE TO FILE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THE GOVERNMENT HASN'T FORCED A RECALL ON THIS. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AND VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED AND QUIT HONESTLY ITS DANGEROUS! I ALMOST GOT KILLED ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WHEN EVERYTHING FAILED. THIS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE YEARS AND THE GOVERNMENT IS OKAY WITH THIS? THE DEALERSHIP AND WARRANTY COMPANY REFUSE TO COVER MY CLAIM. SOMEONE NEEDS TO HOLD NISSAN ACCOUNTABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE I HAD TO STOP ABRUPTLY AND THE BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND I HAD TO PRESS IT EXTREMELY HARD FOR THEM TO RESPOND THEY MADE A WEIRD SOUND AND ALSO WHEN I CHANGED FROM PARKING TO DRIVE, IT MADE A STRONG NOISE AND WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CHANGE IT. *TR

THE CAR STARTS PULLING BACK AFTER IS DRIVEN 50 MILES AT A SPEED OF 60MPH SPECIALLY IF YOU START CLIMBING UP THE HILL. NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DAMAGE. THOUGH WHILE THE CAR IS DRIVEN IN THE CITY, THERE IS NO PROBLEM, UNLESS YOU GO ON THE HIGHWAY AND GO FOR A LONG DRIVE. THANK YOU.. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 10 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE ABNORMALLY ACCELERATED, DESPITE THE CONTACT APPLYING THE BRAKES.THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 210,030 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 210,629.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 65 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER SUDDENLY DECREASED TO SPEEDS OF LESS THAN 5 MPH. THE VEHICLE THEN DECREASED IN SPEED WITHOUT DRIVER INTENT AND BEGAN DRAGGING FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO MINUTES. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE OFF OF THE ROAD AND HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THERE WERE NO REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF BEING STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL I FELT AND HEARD THE VEHICLE ENGINE REV UP, THE CAR THEN BEGAN TO JOLT FORWARD EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. *TR
