Description of the problem | After fueling my brand new vehicle for the first time, i headed out and noticed smoke around my vehicle. A neighboring vehicle motioned for me to roll down my window and said i had fluid that looked like anti freeze pouring out from beneath my 2013 pathfinder. I tried to pull over but the suv would no longer accelerate forward and i was stuck in the middle of the road with my children. Not knowing why my vehicle was smoking, i contacted the fire department. Some people stopped to help and push the vehicle from the street. The fire department arrived and the dealership was contacted. A towing company was sent out. I was told the towing company's have been towing these brand new vehicles alot, some that were driven off the lot and had to be towed. After researching this issue, i found there are several people having the same issue and this issue was under a law suit for the 2005-2010 model pathfinders. It doesn't look like nissan has resolved the issue just yet. |
