Check in some of the busier pathfinder forums:

Nissan is not known for correcting major vehicle defects unless they
are subject to recall, IMHO. If the vehicles are out of warranty,
don't even think of them conducting a "goodwill" program. 

(The preceding is based on my experience owning several Nissans. Note
that Toyota is not much better, again IMHE. Nor do I have much respect
for "if we find a problem and tell our dealers about it, we're going
to keep it a secret" Honda).
