2019 Nissan Pathfinder Engine Problems

Your check engine light came on, and when you took the vehicle in for an oil change, the mechanic discovered metal shavings in the oil after just 7,000 miles since the previous change. After refilling the oil and running the engine, metal shavings appeared again immediately, indicating internal engine damage. Your mechanic says you need a new engine, which will likely cost $3,000–$7,000 to replace.

Your car suddenly started jerking multiple times while driving in traffic, then the engine RPM dropped to zero and the engine shut off completely, leaving you stranded. This is a serious drivability issue that needs immediate diagnosis to determine if it's a fuel delivery problem, ignition system failure, or engine management issue.

Your engine experienced complete failure after the low oil pressure warning light came on. Despite regular oil changes every 4,000 miles, the oil became sludged at 3,200 miles, the engine knocked, and the engine failed within 2 miles of the warning light appearing. The owner believes this indicates a defect in the engine rather than a maintenance issue.

During a routine tune-up, your mechanic found metal shavings inside your engine, which typically indicates internal wear or damage. A second opinion confirmed you need a complete engine replacement even though your vehicle has less than 100,000 miles. The repair will require removing and replacing the entire engine.

Your engine is burning oil much faster than normal, requiring you to top it off every 2,000 miles even though you're changing oil every 3,000 miles. You're seeing white smoke from the exhaust and finding sludge in the oil after just two oil changes. This suggests internal engine wear or damage that needs professional diagnosis.

I was driving my Pathfinder and I experienced engine failure. It is a four year old engine with 170000 miles on it that has been properly maintained. The engine was knocking and would not accelerate on the highway past 40 mph. When I finally stopped the car, it would not restart. I read an article where this type of engine failure was consistent with the Rogue and Altimas that you were already investigating and I was wondering if the Pathfinder had a related investigation going on.
