- Internal Oil Cooler Failure (SMOD)Serious
The internal transmission cooler inside the radiator can fail, mixing coolant and ATF (Strawberry Milkshake of Death). This usually destroys the automatic gearbox.
- Chassis Corrosion and Structural RustSerious
Sharing its chassis with the Navara, the Pathfinder is prone to severe internal rust that can compromise its structural integrity.
- Timing Chain StretchSerious
The 2.5 dCi engine uses a single-row timing chain that is prone to stretching, potentially leading to catastrophic engine failure.
