2000 Nissan Patrol 3-litre diesel Warranty Complaint
Name: Alan Johnston
Car Make: Nissan
Car Model: Patrol 3lt TDI
Year of Manufacture: 2000
Warranty Complaint:
Well known for blowing motors around 130k km.
Mine blew right on cue 3mths outside extended warranty. Nissan paid only for parts to fix, despite this being a manufacturing fault. They didnot supply complete motor and I now have a motor that has a dubious longevity as is it a mixture of old and new parts and put together by small dealer in Broome.

Hi guys,
Nissan are hopeless! Couldn`t care less about their reputation. I have emailed today tonight about this and also have lodged a complaint with fair trading.
If you too have been ripped by nissan selling these dud motors, Lets all do something about it! I`m sure if there are enough people out there willing to fight nissan they will have to do something about these ticking time bombs!!!
( I also read that these motors were recalled overseas but not here in Australia) Go figure!!

Hey all. I have a yr 2000 3.0 Patrol here in the UK. I’m experiencing a lack of acceleration in 4th gear, if I feather the pedal back & pump it up & down it starts accelerating again. Is this the Air Flow Meter? Also my brakes stick on for a second after each press of the pedal. I have about 140km on it & its going great apart from these two recent faults. Took it my local Nissan agent & they completely failed to fix it. Thanks for any advice.
To the guy who took of his intercooler & then had no power, You have refitted the rubber pipes wrongly, I did the same but now have a blob of paint to code them!
Nissan Patrol GR
Hi
I bought a 2001 Nissan Patrol with 58,000 miles at a dealer with a warranty in 2005. It was recalled by Nissan while still under warranty from the dealer. They replaced engine but it was never right always loosing water and I kept returning to Nissan . Then the clutch and flywheel went, followed by radiator at around 90,000 miles. All work was carried out by Nissan in order to keep warranty in place- as I thought.
Nissan failed to admit engine failure and washed there hands with it and sent me on my way. I wrote to Nissan Ireland and they accept no responsibility.
I only drove 30,000 miles with this new engine. I have spent over 24,000 Euro so far and still need another engine, which makes it the most expensive 30,000 miles I will ever drive.
I bought the Patrol as they were supposed to be reliable. The Irish army has not renewed its long standing contract with Nissan, I wonder why.
I thought I was unlucky until I saw other blogs from around the world with the same problems.
Is there any way we can make Nissan pay, and never buy a Nissan OK !
check out my blog, I wrote to Nissan Ireland and they have taken no responsibility. My solicitor recons it could be hard to nail nissan. i am going to write to their HQ in Japan. If they don’t compensate me I will go to small claims court and the papers. any takers?
Had a 2003 3.0 diesel which I sold 3 years ago for a Hi Lux dual cab diesel. Sold it because I got wind of problems with the Patrol motor and after seeing a couple of them on the side of the road in the last 12 months waiting for tow trucks, I am very pleased I made the change. Hi lux going beautifully.
I have just joined the multitude of Busted 3lt. 2000 Nissan 4×4 owners. The injection pump has just crapped itself – no warning. After reading this website I will be getting rid of this bomb ASAP. Has about 178000 k’s on it and well looked after. No more Nissan’s of any description for me. A class action is badly needed.
A very expensive lesson !!!
I was going to reply to you all individualy but could anyone reading this and have had problems with 2000- 2001 Nissan Patrol and motors blowing could you please contact me via email on debduffy@bigpond.net.au with your email address so we can all get together and do something about Nissan.
Regards Deb D
I to have joined the long multidude of 2002 3.0lts patrols that have gone bust. Some thing seriously needs to be done. Nissan are the most unhelpful bunch. Told that car was too old in years and to many Kms only 135000. They obvious don’t expect them to last long
Same problem with the Navara, http://www.navara.asia/navara-.....-zd30.html
I have a Dec 2000 GUII 3.0 with just over 160k. Had been very happy with it till about Jan08 when the flywheel started to shake like hell (at idle only, smoothed out as revs rose). Dealers of course knew nothing… After some research I thought it must have been the motor (it knocked pretty bad). Mentioned this to dealer in Nth Melb. At first they denied ever hearing of engine problems. After a couple of revisits they decided it had to be the engine and quoted about $10,500 for a rebuild. More research revealed problems with the dual mass flywheel. Went to selling dealer in Box Hill who also didn’t know what was wrong but said he had another just come in with same vibration. I convinced him to check the flywheel, and what do know, that’s what it was. So got mine replaced & a new clutch for about $4,200. Now I noticed the noise from the motor. It blows more smoke and has an obvious knock when cold, but is okay once warm. Always had a flat spot around 1,800 RPM even thought the mass sensor was replaced early. Now I’m trying to decided if I attempt sell it to some other poor bugger or spend $20,000+ on a Chev 6.5L. I suppose 5th gear would be the next problem although I understand there is a kit for that. Had spent a bit on other gear so am not happy about letting it go.
Stephen,
I`m with you!!
Nissan have a lot to answer for!! I have sent numerous emails and they really don`t care. I have lodged a complaint with fair trading (but not holding my breathe) Something really needs to be done about it. These engines were recalled overseas but not here in Australia, go figure!!
So anyone who has had the motor problems with the 2000 3ltr model and want to come together so we can be heard, Please come forward and let`s fight for our rights!!!
Hi
Have you heard anything back from fair trading? Do you know where abouts Patrols were recalled overseas. We are thinking about taking them through small claims.
We bought a 2000 gu patrol in 2005 with 160,000 though on the clock after owning at GQ patrol and having no problems with it….The first thing that went for us is the dual mass fly wheel at about 170,000 klms. We didn’t replace it with the genuine part, instead we got a solid flywheel put into its place which has been a very worthy choice. Then at 190,000 though the motor did number 4, after dealing with Nissan we got a new 2008 motor replaced for 12 grand, ouch..and we mean ouch!!!! there goes the new home deposit, ha ha…After doing a few mods to the car we have have so far had no more problems, but still we read the forums al the things that can go wrong we are contiplating wheather to sell or not to sell…As for Nissan them selves they must be individuals because ours have been 100% behind us with everything and are very informative with anything we ask…We cant complain about thier services. Happy to hear from anyone who has any questions about any matter :)
I own a 2000 Gu Patrol and have had nothing but trouble since owning it.It started with the engine going off like a grenade,$8000.Next the maf sensor died,$400 and now the wirring loom under the dash has caught fire due to the earth lead falling off motor and causing power to feedback through the starting system,thank god I had insurance,but this has led to another question of how long is too long as this fire happend at easter and my repairer is still waiting on nissan to supply the parts.This is not good enougth.Nissan should be held acountable and I can guarrentee that I wont be buying another NISSAN PATROL again.Bring on the Cruiser
Hello everyone, I was about to sign on the dotted line to buy a GU Series II 2000 Patrol. But now I am having serious second thoughts after reading many of the posts you people have put in. If most of you reply with a big fat NO then I guess my decision to NOT buy this vehicle is the right decision. Hope to see that big fat NO soon. cya
I have been fortunate to never have any dramas with my Nissans but the 3L t/d models have been scorned with inherent faults.
My advice to all owners is that for all of you to get together i.e one owner to self nominate themselves as a president with an email that all can correspond with and seek legal help with a “Class action lawsuit” against Nissan to compensate you all back with the repair cost. Bring this news of a class action suit to the media as well and good luck. Avenues like the fair trade dept are a joke and achieve squat all!
good advice
Thanks Stephen
Another one to add to the list. Nissan Patrol 2006 3.0 ltr turbo diesel. Number three piston melted at 115 k’s one month ago. Engine reconditioner advises problem lies with mass airflow sensor. He apparently has another 6 engines to do with the same problem.We know of another 8. Can anyone tell us where we start with Nissan – customer complaints line?? contact?? Has anyone else had this problem with the later models? We knew of the issue with the earliar models but thought they had been rectified…
Bought Patrol 3 litre diesel, new in 2002. After three and a half years the fuel tank rotted through and had to be replaced. It’s the only car I’ve had where the exhaust outlasted the fuel tank. Now, at seven years of age and 82,000 miles the diesel pump has packed in. It does not say much for the build quality of Nissan nor of the after sales service.
I self nominate myself Stephen Peers as president of- -”Nissan Patrol GR Recall of Defective vehicles worldwide – “TOTAL RECALL”in order to take a “Class action lawsuit” against Nissan to compensate you all back with the repair cost. We will Bring this news of a class action suit to the media as well.Affected parties please e- mail speers@gaisce.ie check out Total Recall GR on twitter or Nissan Patrol GR on Blogger
