The fuel tank was neither damaged or rusty, yet at only 65k miles it needed to be replaced as the tank failed the recently introduced pressure test in de when undergoing its 2 yearly inspection. The dealer informed me that the tank had warped just enough where the pump seals to the tank that it was bubbling and as the tanks were made out of too thin a metal at that point, and as this was the 4th one to go this year and they had already tried 2 seals, and liquid sealant, all to no effect, that i therefore needed a new tank. The manufacturer refused to compensate me for what i consider to be an item that should last a vehicles lifetime. Also, as only a few states have the pressure test, just how many of these older pathfinders are in use that have defective seals, polluting the atmosphere and posing a fire hazard, that are currently going unnoticed? is this something the manufacturer should recall and resolve as a matter of safety. Please keep me informed as to the outcome. Thankyou,

Automatic transmission failure.
Transmission failed.
Auto transmission being replaced twice after 92k miles.tt
Unknown to me as explained to me by transmission mechanic the torque converter was disintegrating over time putting debris into transmission cooler located inside the radiator. This clogged up the radiator thus preventing cooling of transmission. Transmission gears thus wore out due to excessive heat. The mechanic whose specialty is transmissions has received bulletins from his trade association and nissan on this matter but at the time could only show me bulletin from the "infinity q45 "model who has the same transmission and problems. Mechanic told me that nissan advice was to add an external transmission cooler which would allow a little longer life, but eventually the torque converter will go. I had only 62k miles and consider this not enough to warrant transmission failure.nissan does not have a recall on this thus will not help out on expenses. I feel they should contribute something since they knowingly were aware of this problem which was a poorly manufactured torque converter.
