nissan Pathfinder Road Test Reports and Car Reviews

Nissan Pathfinder SVE 2006

Nightmare!! Do not buy one and never use Parks Motor Group of East Kilbride!! I bought this car when it was just over a year old, with 11k on the dial. In the 18 months that I’ve owned it, it has been into the dealership 15 or 16 times (I’ve lost count!) for a variety of issues. Several of the visits were rework as a result of the ineptitude of the local Nissan Dealership from whom I purchased the car (Parks Motor Group in East Kilbride) being unable to resolve problems without 2, sometimes 3 or 4 visits!! The most concerning of these is that the electronic ABS, ESP and 4X4 systems frequently display faults, meaning I lose all of these aids whilst driving, so compromising the safety of my family. Despite several visits on this matter alone, the dealership don’t care as they keep claiming that the system hasn’t "logged" a fault and will not, despite evidence of the problem provided by me, investigate any further. I have contacted Nissan Motors GB directly, and they have attempted to wash their hands of the affair, blaming the dealership despite the series of flaws I have encountered with the product they manufactured. I so wanted to like this car, but it has been a major disappointment and, more importantly, a serious concern as regards safety since I took ownership. Warranty expires in a few months and I think I’ll need to P/X the car, as I don’t think I can afford to repair it at the rate at which it is failing.
