R51 Pathfinder reliability - better information

Postby mkaresh » Tue May 27, 2008 9:14 am

I've been posting on a different PF forum about the reliability research I conduct, and someone commented there that I should try posting here.

My site reports absolute stats like "trips to the shop" that make the differences between cars much clearer. Results are updated four times a year, so any significant changes in a model's reliability become apparent quickly.

The R51 Pathfinder is not yet included in the survey, because too few are signed up. The 2005 is only seven owners short of the minimum, though, and other years aren't much further off.

Participants simply report repairs the month after they occur on a one-page survey. When there are no repairs, they simply report an approximate odometer reading four times a year, at the end of each quarter.

To encourage participation, panel members receive full access to the results for free.

For the details, and to sign up to help out:

Welcome to the forum Michael. I notice that the NicoClub forum is listed under 'Nissan Pathfinder Forums' on your website. Is it possible to get this forum listed under that heading as well? Thanks.

It is, if the people running this forum help make results for the Pathfinder possible. NICO has been extremely supportive--they're the main reason we have results for many Nissans and Infinitis.

Who's a good mod or admin to contact here?

Sorry, just saw this post, and PM'd the owner.

Over 200 Pathfinder and QX4 owners have signed up so far. This is a good start, but it's going to take many more to provide results for all model years back to the mid-1990s.

The owner has given me formal permission to post here, and I'm grateful for this assistance.

Over 200 Pathfinders are now signed up. This is a good start, but more are needed.

The 2005 is now just five vehicles short of the minimum, and others are over halfway.

Both the 2005 and 2008 have been added to the survey. Thanks guys. But they're right at the minimum, while other years aren't there yet, so more participants remain needed.
