My dad bought a 2007 brand new and still has it today. It's had a few problems but man, they really don't make em like that anymore. People around me are surprised to see that this car is a Nissan, especially when they look at modern Pathfinders. This gen was definitely the best gen for the model.

I have an 07 SE, bone stock aside from 31" tires. Your comment made me laugh because anytime I bring up the vehicle in conversation I always mention word for word, "They don't make them like this anymore". I have always babied it and kept it in great condition and it always makes me laugh when people are shocked that it's a 2007 model year. Solid and robust frame, practically zero features aside from cruise control which means there's far less failure points, powerful engine, tows like nothing is behind it, the list never ends. Favorite vehicle I have ever owned. It has 210k miles on it and the only thing I have replaced on it aside from standard maintenance components is the heater core inlet and outlet connections located on the firewall and a cam position sensor. I will keep driving it until the wheels fall off.

@@jakekrauss3273 , when you changed your heater core inlet and outlet connections, were you able to change the connections by themselves or did you have to buy the entire assembly? I see the plastic housing in front of the firewall where the hose plugs in gets very brittle in time. Also, if I'm standing at the front of the car do you know which is the inlet and which is the outlet? I'm not a mechanic but thanks to KZbin I don't think there's been much of anything I haven't been able to fix. Thank you in advance for your time and your response!

@@wolslayer1 i'm not mechanic either but I'm pretty sure you can just change out the inlets and outlets. if you think it's your heater core you'll be getting a coolant leak into your floorboards of the cab. you can try flushing it out and burping your coolant system. look up chrisfix on here, he makes good videos. they're not model specific videos but they give you a good idea of things.

With service it every 6K miles oil and keeping the engine clean helps...New Transmission at 420,000 miles and plugs at 270K some little work...Still as powerful as the day we got her back in 2016 ( $20k with 150K ) This is one super powerful and strong Truck ! 🌲🖤👍

My 05 Pathfinder is still pulling strong along with 210,554 miles on it. I changed only 4 things on it since I bought it back in 07 and it's been bullet proof since then. The radiator was the first thing I changed before the cross contamination problem became an issue 2nd the timing chain guide noise at 140,000mil 3rd valve covers 4th and a very important one was the firewall heater core hose tube at 89,000mil. It's just a awesome reliable SUV if you know where to to keep up with some of the common issues that have plagued this SUV from 05-10.

Great video. I have a 2008 model I bought new, and still drive as my only vehicle in 2022 with 320,000 miles. Yes, I’ve had a few problems over the year, and one rebuilt trans but I’ve pulled trailers very often, including a 14’ flatbed and a 6’x10’ cargo, fully loaded many times. All in all this has been the best vehicle I’ve ever owned.

I heard about the coolant into transmission fluid issue so I replace the radiator with a Danso one at 80k mils, also the rack and pinion started leaking at around 80k, other than these 2, I didn't have any other repair at all. Good vehicle. This year I gave it to my daughter who is about the same age as the car.

Only thing I notice on mine is a rattle in the rear glass/door. I think it may need rubber spacers where the hinge mounts to the glass to fix that, we will see.

I am the owner of a 2006. I have 241k miles. My Pathfinder is so fast and drives like a new car still to this day. I have had every problem on this list. I just had to replace the ignition coils and spark plugs today. I just saw this video and feel I watched this video one day to late as they did not replace all 6 ignition coils. Ugh.....I did get new spark plugs and cylinder intake boots replaced. I have to go check but I think they only replaced 2 ignition coils today. Since I have owned my 2006 Pathfinder for13 years I have had every problem on this list and more. 1. The CATS go bad and you can have a check engine light on for years if you don't replace them. 2. Oil leaks needing to have all seals replaced. 3. Drive shaft 4. Radiator issues until you just say the heck with it and buy a new Radiator. The good thing is The new Nissan dealer in my town drove my Pathfinder at the same time I drove the 2020 models of Rogue and others and found none of the new Nissans have the power of the 2006. I am going to keep it on the road for a few more years. Bottom line the power and handling are superior with this 2006. 0-80 in no time flat. 120 MPH on the highway with ease. New Nissans are not something I can drive. Thank you for the video. Wish I had seen this a bit earlier but now I know it was not just me with all these Pathfinder issues.

I bought a 2011 Pathfinder LE 4x4 last November and while not a fan all of the plastic (i.e., the cargo area tie down points are pot metal just as weak as plastic compared to the 1/4” hardened steel tie down points of my 1993 Pathfinder SE 4x4) this is my 4th Pathfinder and I love mine. My 1st was an absolute beast of a 4x4, upgraded the shocks all the way around and that bullet proof manual transmission never got stuck in mud, gravel creek beds, sand, snow, wetlands, NW USA rainforest waist high grass, rutted trails with puddles that almost swallowed me a couple of times. Drop it in 4LO and away we go. I miss that truck.

One thing you missed was the evap emissions canister that gets clogged with dust. Still have our 2007 pathfinder. The dreaded coolant/transmission oil cooler leak occurred after the warranty expired. Trying to figure out what to do, and thinking of getting a new vehicle, as a rebuilt transmission was $7k. Got an email notification that Nissan had extended the warranty. Ran out to the car, and we were just under the repair milage by about 900 miles. Another transmision, and we were good to go. Been a very reliable vehicle.

My 2005 Pathfinder just hit 237,000 miles (the distance from the earth to the moon). I had to change the shocks and struts and the two control arms because there are 18 years old. These SUVs are no longer built this way. It's body on frame, tows 6k lbs, fits 7 people and if the roof is built similar to the frontier (which it is) the roof can handle 4 times it's own weight before it collapses. PS the antifreeze/trans oil issue is fixed by getting a radiator that's not OEM. The radiator failed and ended up destroying the trans. The trans itself is rock solid on that thing.

First of all, great video ma'am. 👍 I own an 08 with the VK56. Bought it used and one of the first mods I did was bypass the radiator coolant lines straight to the trans cooler. People tend to not flush the cooling system like they should and the coolant becomes acidic causing the trans fluid lines in the radiator to fail. It's a bad design but can be totally eliminated for about $5.

For the fuel level sender issue, you can swap the guts from a TrailBlazer unit for much cheaper than swapping the whole unit. I cut the body under the rear seat for access, then used a fuel pump inspection cover from a used Nissan Armada to cover it back up. Works great. Reply if you have questions.

I had this SUV and l traded it years ago. I hated it because it was always vibrating since it was new. It always vibrated when l stopped at the light. It vibrated so much that l had to shift it to neutral to lessen the vibration. I took it to the dealer twice but they never did anything about the problem. After some research l found out that most of these SUVs have the same issue right from the factory.

The only problem I have with videos like this is that the presenter speaks about an entire generation of vehicles as if every year had the same problems all the way through. The timing chain issue was largely resolved by 2009 and any 2010 with the issue would be on the level of fluke that any manufacturer might experience. The failed radiators were resolved by early 2010 as well but you have to check to see if you have the new part number as some of the firs 2010's built in late 2009 still had the old radiator. But what Nissan haters dismiss is that almost every make uses a radiator where transmission fluid is cooled by the radiator at least in part and every one of them that use this design has the very occasional problem with a failed radiator that destroys the transmission. It's just that the 2005 through 2009 4.0 liter engine radiators had a significantly high rate of failure than typical but still not a high enough percentage to say they will all fail because they don't. But if you find a good deal on a 2005 through 2009 just replace the radiator id there has been no failure yet and cross your fingers that the secondary timing chains don't cause you trouble because they are far more expensive to replace than the radiator if you're not well set up to do the job yourself. And even if you are it's a PITA so it might be worth it to let a dealer do it and if they F it up you have the warranty.

I ended up blowing that engine and got another engine put in and the same code came up for cylinder 04 misfire and scan at dealership shows it was only 92 psi in that cylinder. It spit black out the rear exhaust and I am thinking I may have a fuel issue. I do not know. I own a new Frontier and now I can try and figure this out myself I think?

Thanks for posting. Recently, I drive past a 2005 Pathfinder every day on someone's front yard that has a for sale sign on it. Dropped in yesterday to take a look. 190k miles. Started right up. Definitely needs the secondary timing chains job done immediately but I can do the labor myself. I have a 2007 Xterra with 225k so know this engine well. No SMOD so that's good. No dashboard lights. It's a Florida car so zero rust. It's a loaded model with power seats, leather, rear seat TV's etc... I can get it for $3000. What do you think?

For 3000 I think that is a steal my friend, I picked up a 06 LE edition(top model) for 11k way back in 2015. I still daily drive the pathfinder and up here in Wisconsin where it snows a lot, and where the cars get very very rusty. The car has thankfully had none of the issues in this video. I just replaced the factory radiator when I bought it. Every other problem occurs just if the car was not taken care of.

would upgrade the radiator to an aftermarket aluminum one avoid the milkshake issue? At least longer than 50k miles per Original radiator?

I'm just having the timing chain done on mine. The original chains are well known for being unreliable. There is however a upgrade, duplex timing chain kit, which I'm having mine changed to. It's a double chain which is much more reliable than the original chain

I went to the dealer and they said 1400 for the job. I asked the service dept if they ever saw the chains actually fail and they said no its just really noisy. I drove the truck for another 100k miles with no problem... just a little whining from the chains. Sold the truck for 5 grand still making noise.

I thought it was the tensioners that fail prematurely causing the whine and rattle. I’m on my original chain and tensioners. 179,000 miles.
@panamdragonboat
@panamdragonboat 3 жыл бұрын
@@elonsus9747 Correct. The tensioner part includes a plastic insert that wears somewhat prematurely especially if one does not do regular oil changes. Once they wear to a certain point, the steel rivets that are used to fabricate the plastic insert are exposed and the chain runs over those rivets resulting in the whining and clacking noise you hear in this video. My 2007 4.0 Xterra has 225k miles and so far I don't have this issue. I've always used full synthetic oil and changed every 10,000 miles. I think that makes a difference.

First and foremost she's lying about having to drop the gas tank to remove the fuel pump! I'm sure that's what they tell you and charge you for several hours of labor, when you don't have to pull the tank at all, flip up the rear left back seat, pull the carpet back and you'll see a black metal cover about 12" wide, there's 3 plastic screw ( locks ) twist them about 1/2 turn to left and pop the cover up, and Shazzam there's your fuel pump, remove the electrical plug, the two fuel lines, tap the lock counter clockwise until it reaches unlock position, then you pull the pump out, nice & easy! Don't let these parts stores b.s. you buy saying, the cheapest fuel pump you can get is $300 O'Reilly's is really bad about this, because they are selling you the entire unit, don't buy the stuff you already have, I called around and EVERYONE TOLD ME THE SAME THING, #1 THEY TOLD ME, I COULDN'T JUST BUY THE FUEL PUMP FOR THIS 04 NISSAN PATHFINDER, ADVANCE AUTO TOLD ME THIS AS WELL AND I PURCHASED THE FUEL PUMP ITSELF FROM AN ADVANCE STORE FOR $85, THAT'S THE TRUTH;

I had the coolant lines that run through the fire wall on the passenger side dry rot and it left us stranded on the side of the interstate I ordered a new one and it ran behind the engine and down to the frame on the passenger side. Did you say the timing chain was a recall so Nissan would cover it?
