The Nissan Path

This fixed the noise for me...amazing how much quieter it is after this fix, the alternator, and the timing chain/tensioner...

There are TSBs out for all of these. Take it in.

Hey all, My Path had a weird rattle(ish) noise during normal driving right before the shift. They first said it was a heat shield, but that didn't fix it. Now they are saying it is the "intake power valve". Now, I'm not exactly sure what that is, or does. I did some looking online and the ...

Dropped it off at the dealer on Saturday. Diagnosis is an alternator and the Timing Chain TSB. A little pissed that the first dealer didn't listen to me on that, but what can you do. Extended warranty has my butt on this one so no harm no foul.

Here is something to consider: I thought I had a suspension squeak as well. Well after a couple of trips of not being able to duplicate the problem at the dealership and the bumber-to-bumber warranty being up, I spent an hour in the garage playing with it. This was after I started hearing it when th...

I've got 60k on the truck, but I have the 75k warranty. With all of the close dealers being idiots.

I had one dealer tell me that the whining was not the cam tensioner about 5 months ago, but it seems to be getting louder. So right now I'm at a loss.

So the Path is starting to sound a little whiney lately. It always happens under load, and is best heard under light load (like a conservative acceleration from a stop, or a slow increase from 25-40 for instance). I can reproduce the noise in neutral by reving up to about 2K or so. I did some checki...

Mind sharing who to change the fuel filter, since I'm pretty sure we have on of those "happy" in tank "lifetime" filters?

Yeah I was looking for the same thing today...more for flush and fill procedures. My dealer today said that it should be changed out. They also said every 15,000 miles (but that is because they want me to spend $90 every year). I suspect that it falls in the 60k-100k range, but even the service manu...

I have one that I get when I change from A/C to defrost. Kind of a multi thunk/rattle...only does it for a second then it stops...Going to ask the dealer about it this week when I call about some other stuff.

Funny this should come up. I was going to call the dealer on Monday to get it in because of a noise very much like this (53k on mine). I'm glad this came up, because now I will go read the TSB and mention it to them because I was going to describe it as a sound a lot like a "twin-screw" wo...

Anyone changed the spark plugs on their Pathy yet? My path was running a little rough so I tried to pull them to check them out. Got one out without a problem. But the second one didn't want to budge. I didn't want to torque too much on it because I didn't want to break it. My Mustang has a known is...

Not long after we got our Pathy we did a switch to regular and mid-grade...this was about the time of Katrina when prices spiked really high...well what we noticed is that on hot days (and we get HOT days) we would actually get worse gas mileage...so back to premium it was...also when we got down to...

They have been a great tire. Nice and sturdy. As quiet as the BFG Long Trails that came with the Pathy. I did notice 1-2 mpg decrease depending on who is driving. Which isn't that bad. I'm still getting around 16-17 in town. I did have to have them rebalanced once. They had to get tricky and rotate ...

You might want to consider they Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armour...I put those on the path. They are great. Lighter than the BFG AT, and as quiet as the stock BFG Long Trails that came on the truck. I did notice a little bit of gas mileage decrease. But it hasn't been too bad. Maybe 1-2 mpg depending...

So I got the new shoes on Friday, along with the alignment. The dealer had it for 6 HOURS!!!!! To do a freakin' alignment. But when I looked at the alignment sheet, I realized that the last time I saw that much red on a piece of paper it was my last spelling test :) It was way way out. I didn't get ...
