I had my transmission & radiator replaced at 78,000 miles under the extended warranty on my first Pathfinder (2008). The transmission did not have a catastrophic failure. I complained of 'rumble-strip' like shifts into 5th gear (OD). The dealer just verified the cross-contamination of coolant/tr...

2012 Bose Radio - Audio Off on restart

This just starting happening last week...wondering if anyone else has had this issue. every time I start the car the stereo is off. Doesn't seem to matter if I am listening to a CD, radio or XM. It's not a big deal, but I would prefer the audio be on, switched to whatever source I was listening to.....

Yes, anyone would have to pay beyond a free 6 month or similar trial, but I just want to know if anyone can tell me that the '12 SV has the hardware or can be upgraded to receive Sirius/XM. I'm starting to think you have to go with Silver Edition or higher for satellite.

2012 SV Radio Question

What does 'Satellite-capable' mean for the 2012 SV radio? Do you need to add hardware to get Sirius/XM? or is satellite not really an option?
thanks

2012 Question

I drove a 2012 CPO Silver this weekend, which is a nice upgrade from my 2008 S (105,000 miles). Did they do away with the soft-closing rear hatch? or was it broken on the one I drove? I really like that feature on my 2008. They had a lower mileage SV both in the dark slate color...but I think I real...

I can pinpoint to the minute when I developed a rattle inside my tailgate....my wife decided to slam the tailgate shut (even though she knew it had a soft close latch). I haven't been motivated to try to fix it, since I only hear it when I open the tailgate.

I asked about the warranty start date...haven't heard back yet. I also asked for some photos...window sticker & general shots bc there aren't really any photos online. Prices are ~$28k for silver edition, $26k for SV, & $25k for S. I haven't seen what goes into calculating these prices yet (...

Leftover 2012s still available...

I found a dealership in NJ that still has 2012 PFs on their lot...never titled, essentially new, but they have been sitting there a long, long time. Crazy to consider purchasing a new PF that has little or no warranty left? (I assume the 36 month bumper-to-bumper will expire shortly) My 2008 is appr...

2008 just diagnosed w/ coolant/trans cross-contamination

Just got back from the local Nissan dealer. They verified cross-contamination & ordered new radiator & trans (78,000 miles currently). Huge thanks to this forum for making me aware of the radiator failure issue. My symptoms started at 75,000 with the 'rumble strip' feeling @ 40 mph-60 mph......

Ball Joints Replaced on 2008 w/ 72k miles

A week ago started to get a bad grinding noise when cutting the wheel to the left pulling into a parking space. Also got a bit of a clank when going over bumps. I had hoped it was the sway bar bushing issue....not so lucky though. I had to replace the upper link & lower ball joints on the passen...
