As to a clunking noise, mine does make a noise when turning the knob to 4 HI, more so when turning it to 4 LO. What other problems have you had with the Pathfinder?
Thanks for the suggestion about the turns. I will try that. I mentioned the clunking noise beacsue my dad said sometimes they come from the factory with a mis-matched axle ratio and that can cause the clunking.
As far as the other problems, lets see, 1) the tire pressure light is constantly on and blinking and according to the manual that means there is something wrong with it. 2) I brought it in for them to fix my seatbelt right after I bought it and they said there was a recall for my gas gauge lever. So they fixed it then,or so they thought, well twice it left me stranded with no gas cause the gauge wasnt working. Finally after the 5th time into the shop they replaced my gas tank cause I guess some tanks were made differently. 3) Right after they switched the gas tank my check engine light kept coming on and off. I told them about it and they refused to even check the code without charging me because they didnt think it was anything they did. Well I had a friend of mine who is a mechanic check it and I need a new fuel valve assembly and a new can filter. So now every time I get to a half a tank practically my check engine light comes on.
I really love the truck as far as the room, styling, ride, etc but I just seem to be having all these problems.
