Nissan Repair: 2005 pathfinder rough idle, defective coil, nissan dealership


Question
I am thinking about buying a 2005 pathfinder, upon driving it it seems as if it was a little rough on the idle. While sitting in it in park or drive , I had a vibration in my back , in the drivers seat. Is this normal ?

Answer
Amy,

If the idle is rough it could be a defective coil since the car is so new.  Otherwise, I do not see why you would not purchase it.  I would take the time to go to a Nissan dealership and drive a new one and compare.  If they are the same go for the 2005.  My bet is that they are close.  Remember, the Pathfinder is basically a truck and it is going to vibrate a little compared to a car.
