Gostaria de saber algo sobre seu carro. O Pathfinder WD21 esta bem respeitado em Australia, onde nao tem muito chuva, mas em lugares que tem bastante chuva, e ainda mais em lugars onde neve causa eles para jogar sal nas ruas, o Pathfinder esta conhecido por uma problema serio.
O chassis em frente das rodas anteriores enferruja ate o carro quebra no meio. Wikipedia detalha o problema:
¨The first generation (WD21) Pathfinders are known to develop rust in the following areas: the frame above and behind the rear wheels, the floor directly above the catalytic converter and under the back seats.¨
Aqui tem gente no EUA/Europa reclamando:

The early Pathfinders (WD21) only have a few major issues:
1) Autotranny failing: Usually due to the fluid cooler in the radiator clogging and/or not replacing the fluid at recommended intervals. Have an aftermarket [COLOR=#006400 ! important][COLOR=#006400 ! important]tranny [COLOR=#006400 ! important]cooler[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] installed, bypass the radiator unit, replace the fluids as recommended and it should last as long or longer than most other manufacturers.
2) Manual tranny bearings and syncros: Over fill the tranny with 5.1 liters of 75w-90 GL4 ONLY. Not GL5, GL4!
3) Exhaust manifold leak: The manifolds can warp and the weak studs can break. Have the studs replaced with the upgraded replacement part (300zx exhaust studs). You can have the manifolds re-machined flat if they need it or just install headers for a gain in power.
4) Timing belt: Change it on interval! Every 60k miles 87-93 and 105k miles 94-95. If it breaks you will damage the motor.
5) Rust: They do, especially the last few years. If you live in the salt belt, have it undercoated.
Gostaria de saber se a mesma coisa esta acontecendo com Pathfinders aqui no Brasil.
Atenciosamente, Evo.
