| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 1997 nissan pathfinder se. it has a severe wobble at speeds of 50 mph and above. it is extremely dangerous. i was told it was the suspension ,so i replaced it. the wobble continued. i researched the problem on the internet and found that itwas common with every pathfinder in the 1990's after the vehicle passed approximately 60,000 miles. the low quality bushings deteriorated and could not support the vehicle. weight shifted during acceleration and the vehicle went out of control. i have pulled over numerous times because of it. it appeared that every pathfinder of this model year range was plagued by this problem. the cheapest i have found this repair was $700, however, it seemed like thiswas the fault of the manufacturer. i wouldn't be surprised to find accidents that had to do with this sub-quality part. what would it take for nissan to put forth a recall and fix this problem. *ak |
