Pathfinder

Hi, so i think im getting a 2001 pathfinder and i want to have some information about it. For example how many miles does it get on average? How many miles per gallion? Do they have any specific problems i should be aware of? Is it a good car over all? Thanks everyone

Pathfinder is a heavy truck and not aerodynamic. Because there are manual 5 speed gear box and automatic with and with out 4 wheel drive it is hard to say what fuel mileage is going to be. 10 to 17 in town and as high as 18 to 24 on the road. 3.5 liter motor last a long time a 3.3 liter motor needs timing belts every 10 years or 90,000 miles. Servicing is key to long car truck life. For the best car check out find a Nissan technician who can preform a check out before money changes hands. Ask questions make sure your truck has all the service booklets and owners manuals. A ten year old truck is going to have some issues.

For the most part the nissan pathfinder has been a pretty good car, there were only one year I ever heard that had a lot of problems and that was the 2005 so the 01 should be good to go as long as someone has taken good car of it. Routine maintenance is the key for any car with high mileage, go to carcomplaints.com click on nissan in the blue letters to the left on the home page and scroll down to pathfinder and click on that, you will see that the 05 was a lemon but looks like the rest are still going strong. I know a lot of the nissan had an inline 4 that was a workhorse of a engine and it made good horsepower like any small motor when you wound it up it took off and got the job done, for as long as you wanted it to. As with any used car, take it to a mechanic and have a diagonstic done, and make sure you are getting a good car not some beat up hunk of junk. Never listen to the owner about how great a used car is, always trust your mechanic to back up what you were told. Go to www.samarins.com if you would like information on how to buy a car and what to look for and what to look out for, also there is a section for used car reviews. And www.nada.com has a consumer section with a price guide so you can get an idea of what one is worth when you find out the miles it has. Always be patient when looking for a good used car, find the jewel of the desert, not the rust bucket of nantucket.

how do i remove my front rotors. im guessing its not as easy as taking off the tire and brake assembly and the rotor slide off. can anyone please tell me how to do this..thanks
i did that, i asked the same question on a different site and two people said you have to take out the carter pin and that big ol nut.

No, the rotors on this vehicle are floaters meaning they have bearings, the rotor is captured on the hub and the following parts has to be removed; the brake caliper and bracket, the six nuts that hold the automatic locking hub housing on remove it by slightly tapping on it, next remove the 2 Philips screws holding the lock plate on the nut,next using a small punch tap the bearing nut loose (CCW rotation) using the holes (not the two threaded ones) to tap it loose remove the nut, bearing, and hub/rotor assembly now remove the 14mm bolts that hold the rotor to the hub and reverse the procedure to install! NOTE: Shop charges 3.0 hours for both sides on the path.

fuse is good, lighter doesn’t work…does it pull right out the front or do you needs a special tool?

Either three hands or a special T shaped tool that depresses the two small square holes that releases the inside part that holds the door flap and metal power-socket part in. The old socket pulls out and unplug, plug in the new socket or Cigarette lighter push over the door and insert into the dash hole. Good Luck
