Chicano2005 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I called Nissan Of North America today about the recall but they told me it was not for Pathfinders it was for Frontiers? any comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom01Pathfinder Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) haha i ran into a similar situation, but it was the opposite. The dealer told me i was not affected, and Nissan North America told me i was affected. And to take it to the nearest dealer for service. So i guess i need to take it to the dealer that told me i was not affected to get it looked at... it is for pathfinders...find out who you talked to at NONA and talk to someone else Edited June 1, 2011 by Phantom01Pathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicano2005 Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 i just finished talking to a representative at Nissan North America. He told me he couldn't find my "particular vehicle" or my dads name(its under his name). So therefore he said there was nothing he could do because the VIN that i gave him was not coming up. he only told me maybe if i take it to a dealerships they could come up with something. it has some rust spots on passenger fender, and 2 days ago the steering got really stiff i could not turn. the good thing is that was only parking. what else can i do? P.S. two people told me different things about my truck at Nissan North America. one, it could not be found. the other, it was not pathfinder it was frontier. wth?

Phantom01Pathfinder Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 search here on the forum for the topic regarding this issue...Pezzy started it and others have talked about their experiences with the recall. check it out before u take it in if thats the route u decide...because if the dealer thanks its unsafe to drive they will hold ur pathy until it gets fixed...if its even repairable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmerfra Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I have been checking with my local dealer and they say there is no such recall in Canada, yet with my Vin#. So i called Nissan Canada, and they said there definetely was a recall on the strut mount rusting and possibly the strut moving compromising the steering ( my steering has gotten VERY stiff lately). The said the reason that the dealer could not see it in their system is because it was only showing on updated accounts. I bought my 1998 pathy used and Nissan Canada had no account on ME.. so they set one up right there and notified the local dealer and set up an appointment for me to get this checked.
