I have a simialr noise currently and brought it into my dealer and they have the nerve of telling me its a normal sound. Now I am not sure if it is the same noise or sympton, but it almost sounds like a vaccum cleaner/winding noise. He then told me it had something to do with "sand" but that it was Normal and it couldn't be fixed. If it was normal it would have been there when I bought the Pathfinder brand new in 05.

The parts finally came in and they've had my truck since Wednesday. It should be done this afternoon. So we'll see if that fixes it. The noise is most definitely not normal so do not accept that answer. I have delt with Nissan Corporate customer service and they were not helpful at all. If need be go to another dealership.

The repairs have been completed and I must say that it runs and sounds perfect, The whining noise is completely gone. My dealership did this repair after I downloaded and presented them with the service bulletin on this website. The service rep. told me that it was a $1500 repair so get it done befor your warranty goes out.

I've just discovered the same issue in my 05 pathfinder. I appreciate how everyone has articulated the issue, to help me confirm what it was (especially the youtube post).
Can anyone advise on whether this may be under 5/60 power train warranty or the general 3/36? I'm just under 50K miles and I'd like to get an idea of what to expect before I meet with the dealer. I see claims information on the service bulletin for Primary Failed Part and hope this equates to warranty work. |

What Can I Download To Bring Into The Dealership. My 05 Alitma Se-r Has 30k Miles And It Also Makes This Whining Noise. I Brought It To The Attention Of The Service Manager But They Said It Was My Tires. I Argued For A While But Didn't Get Anywhere With Them.

go to the home page of this website and select "bulletins" then do a search for "timing". the 3rd post down shows
click on through until you see a PDF with the above title and that will be the service bulletin...good luck. |
