1995 Nissan Pathfinder Engine cooling Problems

“Last february it was the right side exhaust manifold bolts. This year it was the left side. Fortunately I knew what it was when I heard that familiar ticking noise. Again, I'm told this is a common problem with the Nissan Pathfinder, and I could have severely damaged my engine had I not brought it in when I had.”

“At my 60k service the mechanic diagnosed a faulty exhaust manifold and replaced it. Fortunately, this was covered by my extended warranty. I've come to realize that is was a common problem with Nissan pathfinders although no recalls have been instituted. I'm concerned that this will reoccur again as my vehicle approached 100k.”

“Engine was making a ticking noise, so I brought it into the dealership and was told it was the right-side exhaust manifold bolts that had broken off. I was told this was a common problem, and if not caught in time would cause extensive damage to my engine.”

“Vehicle stalled while driving. When this occurred consumer coasted the truck off the road. Upon exiting the truck consumer noticed gasoline leaking out of the smog filter. Truck was towed to a mechanic after the fire department had secured it for travel. Mechanic indicated that one or two of the valves in the fuel system, and the fuel cap could be the cause. Both valves, fuel cap, and the smog filter were replaced, but the failure recurred.”

“Driver and passenger side exhaust manifolds have failed and have been replaced. Carbon monoxide was entering directly into the passenger compartment and forced me to pay the ~$900 to have them repaired. Attempting to receive reimbursement from manufacturer.”
