2013 Nissan Pathfinder complaints

ISSUE HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN 1 DAY. WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR VEHICLE DOES NOT REACT. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE MOVING AT MULTIPLE SPEEDS OR STOPPED. I PRESS THE BRAKE AND GO TO ACCELERATE AGAIN AND IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE. OR I CAN BE STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND VEHICLE WILL NOT REACT. ISSUE IS HAPPENING ABOUT 4-5 TIMES DURING A 15 MILE DRIVE. THIS IS HAPPENING ON FLAT SURFACES. IT LOOKS LIKE THE RPM INCREASE VERY LITTLE BUT EVEN IF I CONTINUE TO PRESS DOWN FURTHER ON THE PEDAL IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED, WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE RPMS INCREASED TO SIX AND SEVEN. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FAILURE OCCURRED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 105,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED, DECELERATED, AND MOMENTARILY ACCELERATED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALLED A LOCAL DEALER WHO ADVISED HER TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOP. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE TECHNICIAN KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

MY 2013 PATHFINDER STUDDERS LIKE IT'S NOT GETTING GAS. IT HAS COMPLETELY STALLED WHILE DRIVING IN BUSY TRAFFIC. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH STATED THEY COULD NOT GET IT TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS CAN HAPPEN ON INCLINES AND WHEN I GOT TO STOP OR SLOW DOWN THEN GO TO ACCELERATE AGAINST IT STUDDERS REALLY BAD. IT SOMETIMES WILL NOT START DUE TO NOT RECOGNIZING THE KEY FOB.

I JUST PURCHASED MY VEHICLE LAST WEEK. WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON AND EVEN WHEN SOMEONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS STILL ON STATING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS TURNED OFF. I WAS ADVISED THERE IS A RECALL OUT FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS SITUATION SEEMS SIMILAR TO A COUPLE OTHER RECALLS ON THE 2013 PATHFINDERS. I'M UNSURE IF THE REPAIRS WERE DONE BEFORE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BUT IF THEY WERE THE ISSUE STILL REMAINS. SINCE THERE ARE NO OPEN RECALLS FROM MY VEHICLE. EITHER MY VEHICLE WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS OR THE REPAIRS WERE ATTEMPTED BUT THE PROBLEM REMAINS. I JUST WANT THE VEHICLE TO BE SAFE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY.

OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM IS INCORRECTLY SAYING THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT IS EMPTY, WHEN IN FACT OCCUPIED BY AN ADULT. NISSAN IS SAYING THAT BASED ON MY VIN# MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE CURRENT RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR DEATH OF A PASSENGER IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT.

MY PATHFINDER STALLS AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON AN ELEVATED SURFACE. WE JUST BOUGHT OUR 2013 PATHFINDER (53.5K MILES) LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AGO. IT IS CERTIFIED PRE OWNED AND UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY 7 YEARS/ 100K MILES. WHEN I TOOK THE ISSUE TO THE DEALERSHIP, LAST WEEK, I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR DID NOT THROW A COMPUTER CODE AND WHEN THEY TEST DROVE MY CAR THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES. THEY DID HOWEVER TELL ME THAT WHEN THEY TRIED TO PARALLEL PARK IT ON A HILL, IT ACCELERATED AS SOON AS THEY PUT IT IN DRIVE, TO WHICH I EXPLAINED I NEVER PUT MY PATHFINDER IN PARK, I ONLY CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, ON A HILL AND IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THIS IS TERRIFYING CONSIDERING MY 6 MONTH OLD BABY HAS BEEN IN THE BACKSEAT WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS.

VEHICLE STALLS AT VARIOUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING, WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHILE PRESSING ON GAS PEDAL. HAS NOW HAPPENED 6 TIMES IN 3 MONTHS. STALLED ALSO, WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL GOING DOWNHILL AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE UNTIL ON LEVEL SURFACE FOR 15 SECONDS, LOST 35 MPH DURING THIS INCIDENT. PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIRBAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED INDICATING THAT NO ONE IS IN SEAT WHILE SEAT IS OCCUPIED. I HAVE SEVERAL PHOTOS AND DATES OF THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM.

EXPERIENCING A LOW SPEED JUDDER AND LATELY A SOFT JUDDER AT ABOUT 70 MPH

PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT WHILE STOPPED. WHEN PRESSING ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHILE IN DRIVE ENGINE DOES NOT RESPOND. ENGINE RPM WILL GO UP ONCE SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL, BUT NOT WHILE IN DRIVE. DOES NOT PRODUCE ERROR CODES, SO NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX. I HAVE FOUND A LOT OF OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME SITUATION ONLINE, NISSAN HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED THIS AS A PROBLEM AS FAR AS I KNOW.

AFTER LESS THAN 20000 MILES ON NEW PATHFINDER, REAR BRAKES AND TIRES NEEDED REPLACEMENT, WERE DOWN TO MINIMAL SAFE MANUFACTURERS SPECIFICATION, VERIFIED INDEPENDENTLY BY 2 AUTO REPAIR PLACES. BOTH SERVICE LOCATIONS CALLED THIS KIND OF WEAR EXCESSIVE.

I HAVE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT STAYING ON WHEN SOMEONE IS IN THE SEAT. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER FIVE TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. EVEN AFTER THE MANDATORY RECALLS THE PROBLEM SPORADICALLY STILL EXISTS. SOMETIMES THE LIGHT STAYS ON BRIEFLY AND OTHER TIMES IT STAYS ON UP TO THIRTY MINUTES. I NEVER GET A GOOD EXPLANATION BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OTHER THAN WE CHECKED OR ADJUSTED THE SENSOR. AFTER THREE YEARS I THINK IT IS TIME NISSAN STEPS UP AND FIXES THE PROBLEM PROPERLY. IT APPEARS THE DEALERSHIPS CANNOT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT THE COOPERATION OF NISSAN CORPORATE OR GOVERNMENT ACTION. IT DOES NO GOOD COMPLAINING TO THE SERVICE PERSONNEL. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AGAIN.

MY NEW 2013 PATHFINDER CAME WITH THE TIRE TOYO PROXES A20. THIS OPTION IS NOT AVAILABLE ON THE DROP-DOWN SELECTIONS. EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR ON TOYO PROXES A20 TIRES. . AT 23,000 MILES TIRES ARE IN NEED OF REPLACING.( I ONLY USE THIS VECHILE TO TAKE MY SON TO SCHOOL AND AROUND TOWN, I AM UNDER 1,000 MILES A MONTH) I HAVE EXPRESSED MY CONCERN WITH NISSAN ABELOFF DEALERSHIP, NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIR AND TOYO THE TIRE COMPANY. I HAD A CASE OPENED WITH NISSAN CONUMER WHICH THEY TOLD ME THAT THE DEALERSHIP WOULD HAVE TO MEASURE THE TIRE DEPTH AND THEN THEY COULD HELP ME WITH REPLACEMENT COST. (OF COURSE THIS WAS ALL VERBAL ON THE PHONE). UNFORTUNATELY THE DEALERSHIP HAD A DIFFERENT READING VS MY READINGS. LUCKILY I KEPT MY MULTI INSPECTION PAPERWORKS AS BACKUP AND TOLD THEM THAT THERE GADGET IS BROKEN BEACAUSE IT KINDA WEIRD FOR THEARDS TO BE LIKE A ROLLER COASTER. MY LATEST READING ON THE TREADS IS 2/32 AND 3/32 WHICH A BRAND NEW GADGET WAS USED. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THIS CORRECTED READING. THEY INFORMED NISSAN AND NOW THEY COME BACK TO ME, THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING EVEN THOUGH PREVIOUS CASE THEY SAID THEY WILL BE GLAD TO HELP OUT. THIS IS CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD AND I DO NOT THING A TIRE SHOULD BE WEARED OUT SO EARLY WHEN OTHERS LAST FROM ANY WHERE 40,000 TO 50,000 MILES. THESE TOYO PROXES A20 ARE DEFECTED AND I SEARCHED ONLINE ON AND HAVE FOUND SIMILAR STORIES FOR THIS TIRE ON THE NISSAN SUV'S AND OTHER SUV BRANDS. THESE TIRES NEED TO BE RECALLED AS DEFECTED WEAR AND TEAR

TAKATA RECALL WHILE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MOTION, THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS REMAINED ON SEVERAL TIMES WHILE THE SEAT HAS BEEN OCCUPIED. 7 ATTEMPTS AT REPAIR HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTED, INCLUDING REPLACING PARTS AND UPDATING SENSORS. I HAVE ALL REPAIR DOCUMENTS FROM 2 NISSAN DEALERSHIPS ALONG WITH NISSANS' LETTER AND EMAIL THAT THEY WERE NOT IN A POSITION TO HELP ME.

I HAVE HAD THE DOOR HANDLE ON MY PATHFINDER BREAK TWICE MAKING YOU UNABLE TO GET OUT OF YOUR CAR IN A EMERGENCY! THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW BY ME. ALSO I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING WHILE IN ACCELERATION. NOW THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY SEEM TO HAVE NO INTEREST IN FIXING IT.

TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AND SPUTTERS AND AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WHEN ANYONE IS I THE SEAT.

WHILE TURNING AT A STOPS SIGN ON A CITY STREET, GOING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, I HIT A SHALLOW POTHOLE & MY ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE AIRBAG HIT MY 8 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE FACE WHO WAS SITTING IN THE BACK PASSENGER SEAT. THIS CAUSED HER TO HAVE SWELLING, REDNESS & WHELPS TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF HER FACE & NECK. I SUBMITTED A CLAIM TO NISSAN TO WHICH THEY DETERMINED THAT THEY WERE NOT LIABLE FOR THE DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE AIRBAGS TO THE INTERIOR OF MY VEHICLE.

VEHICLE JERKS AND SHUDDERS IN LIGHT ACCELERATION. NO ACCELERATION ON VEHICLE EVEN WHEN ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED TO FLOOR. IT WAS BROUGHT INTO DEALER WHO CLAIMED THERE WAS A COMPUTER PROGRAMMING UPDATE FOR THE TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE SAME ISSUES. LAST WEEK MY CAR SHUDDERED, WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WITH PEDAL TO THE FLOOR THEN SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF GAS STATION ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENT. IT IS NOW IN SHOP. NO REPAIRS DONE YET.

I CONTINUE TO GET INTERMITTENT WARNING LITE ABOUT PASSENGER AIR BAG NOT ACTIVATED WHEN THERE IS AN ADULT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE CAR HAS HAD THE RECALL FOR THIS PERFORMED ALREADY HOWEVER IT STILL PERSISTS REGARDLESS OF CAR MOTION.

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINS ON WHEN MY MOTHER IS THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. SHE ONLY WAYS ABOUT 90 LBS, NISSAN SAYS THIS IS A CHILDS WEIGHT AND THE PERSON SHOULD BE IN THE BACKSEAT. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAD A FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE CALL ME. THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING, I SHOULD PUT MY MOTHER IN THE BACK SEAT. I HAD MANY VEHICLES IN MY LIFETIME AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAD THIS ISSUE. IS THIS AN ISSUE WITH ALL NISSANS. WE ALSO HAVE A 2015 KIA OPTIMA AND THAT AIRBAG WARNING WORKS FINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER A MANUFACTURER RECALL FOR A TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE UPDATE, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

THE AIRBAG SENSOR RANDOMLY DOES NOT DETECT A FULL SIZE ADULT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND THEREFORE SHUTS OFF THE AIR BAG. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MANY OCCASIONS AND THESE ARE FULL GROWN ADULTS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS SUV HAS BEEN IN FOR A RECALL O N THIS SENSOR, BUT THAT STILL DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I HAVE ATTACHED A PICTURE TAKEN ON 10/9/2015, SHOWING THE AIRBAG SHUTOFF LIGHT ILLUMINATED, WITH A FULL GROWN MALE PASSENGER SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO JERK AND SLIP GEARS. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED UNDER A MANUFACTURER'S VOLUNTARY RECALL RELATED TO REPROGRAMMING THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL UNIT. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BEARING WERE REPLACED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES WERE ALSO REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.

WHILE PARKED THE FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKED FROM UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM PASSENGER SEAL. OVER THE NEXT DAY, EVERY TIME THE CAR WAS STOPPED AFTER DRIVING, THE CRACK SPREAD SIGNIFICANTLY. WHEN I REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD, NOT COVERED BY NISSAN'S 3 YEAR-36,000 MILE WARRANTY- I FOUND OUT THE WINDSHIELD WAS DEFECTIVE AND THIS HAPPENS A LOT WITH NISSANS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

THE VEHICLE STOPS ACCELERATING EVEN AFTER PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. THEN START TO GO BACK TO NORMAL VERY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY.

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYED LIT WITH A 250 LB PASSENGER IN THE SEAT UNTIL WE REACHED OUR DESTINATION. WE REPORTED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS, AND COULDN'T DUPLICATE IT. IT USUALLY HAPPENS IF THE PASSENGER GETS IN AS THE CAR IS BEING STARTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 45-50 MPH, THE HOOD SHOOK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. MA 10/25/15

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR INTO A GRAVEL DRIVEWAY, I BRAKED ON THE PAVEMENT TO MAKE MY TURN, TURNING INTO THE GRAVEL DRIVEWAY, WHEN I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW THE CAR, I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKES. THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I HAD TO QUICKLY TURN THE CAR TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND A BUILDING, AND HAD TO SLAM THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, ADVISED THEM OF THE ISSUE, AS THEY WERE OVER AN HOUR AWAY, THEY SENT SOMEONE WITH A TRAILER TO COME PICK UP THE CAR. DURING THIS TIME, I ALSO ADVISED THEM OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON WHILE I HAD A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT, STATING THAT THE AIRBAG WAS OFF. MY PASSENGER WAS MY TEENAGE SON, WEIGHING OVER 120 LBS. I ALSO HAD MY HUSBAND IN THE SEAT, OVER 250 LBS, THE LIGHT STILL CAME ON. NISSAN STATED THIS WAS ALL DUE TO A COMPUTER ISSUE, THEY PROVIDED ME WITH A LOANER CAR AS I WAS WITHOUT MY CAR FOR OVER 1 WEEK. THEY EVEN TRIED TO SELL ME THE LOANER CAR, THIS SHOULD TELL A PERSON SOMETHING RIGHT?? I HAVE HAD WEATHER STRIPPING COME OFF MY CAR WHILE I AM DRIVING, AROUND THE DRIVER SIDE ROOF, PAINT IS PEELING ON THE REAR BUMPER, SOMETIMES THE CAR WON'T RECOGNIZE MY KEY FOB TO START, STATING INCORRECT KEY ID. THE CAR STALLS, HESITATES, SMOKES, TRANSMISSION "JERKS", LIKE IT WANTS TO GIVE UP, THE AC DOES NOT BLOW COLD AIR, SOMETIMES ITS EVEN WARM. I WILL NOT LET ANYONE DRIVE MY CAR FOR FEAR THAT IT WILL STALL OUT OR NOT STOP. SOMETIMES, WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR WILL NOT

VEHICLE STALLS ON HILLS AND HAS BAD MILEAGE AND HESITATES. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. IT HAS BEEN CHECKED IN DALLAS, TX AND NOW TWICE IN EL PASO, TX. THE LAST INSPECTION WAS A RECALL AND ALL I WAS TOLD WAS IT MAY NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND NOW HESITATES ON HILLS AND IS VERY SLUGGISH. IT STALLS WHILE TAKING OFF ON HILLS. VERY DANGEROUS.... ALL I HAVE RECEIVED IS LIP SERVICE. PLEASE CONTACT ASAP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. MA 10/5 UPDATED 01/29/16.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONTAL AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V138000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE RECALL REMEDY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000.

THE SEAT BELTS DO NOT RETRACT BACK IN. THEY DO NOT PULL OUT WHEN TRYING TO LATCH ON. THE FRONT SEATS ARE FINE THEY ARE ALL THE BACK SEAT SEAT BELTS. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY ACCIDENTS YET BUT THE SEAT BELTS IN THE BACK SEATS MAY BE A PROBLEM IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT.

DRIVER INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BROKE AT 15,000 MILES AND PASSENGER INTERIOR HANDLE BROKE AT 17,000 MILES. YOU CANNOT GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE USING THE DOOR HANDLE. THE POWER WINDOW HAS TO BE PUT DOWN, THEN YOU HAVE TO UNLOCK THE DOOR, THEN REACH OUTSIDE THE CAR TO USE THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE TO GET OUT. THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD IF NEEDING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY.

THE CAR HAS BEEN THROUGH ALL THE RECALLS THAT WERE RECOMMENDED TILL DATE. FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SEATBELT WARNING NOT WORKING EVEN WHEN A PERSON(200 LB) PERSON WAS SITTING ON IT. THE PERSON FORGOT TO WEAR THE SEATBELT. BUT NO WARNING WAS PROVIDED FOR SEATBELT. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT SHOWED IT WAS OFF TOO.

WHILE I WAS TOLD THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY IN THE VEHICLE (AROUND JUNE 22, 2015), I EXPERIENCED IT ON 7/6/15. I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT @ 68 MPH. I SLOWED TO TAKE AN OFFRAMP LEFT ONTO A CONNECTOR AND PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO REGAIN SPEED. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE; THE ACCELERATOR HAD NO POWER--EVEN WHEN PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR BEGAN TO LOSE SPEED. IT WAS A BUSY TIME OF DAY, AND THERE WAS A CAR BEHIND ME. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND PRESSED IT AGAIN; THIS TIME IT WAS RESPONSIVE. IN ADDITION TO THE LOSS OF POWER, THE CAR 'HITCHED' AS I WAS DRIVING AND BRAKING, AND THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AFTERWARDS--NOT JUST ON TURNS. ON 7/7, I CALLED NISSAN SERVICE. I DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN UNTIL THEY FIT ME IN (THURS., 7/9). THE DRIVE TRAIN IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A CRT REPROGRAMMING RECALL THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE, BUT IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT WAS HAPPENING, SO THEY WOULD RUN MULTIPLE DIAGNOSTICS AT $125 OR MORE A PIECE. AFTER MULTIPLE DIAGNOSTICS AND A TECHNICIAN DRIVING MY CAR 44 MILES, SERVICE "COULD NOT DUPLICATE CONCERN," DID NOT KNOW OF ANY LIKE PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR, HAD PERFORMED THE RECALL, AND SENT ME HOME AT NO CHARGE (?) ON 7/10. AFTERWARDS, I DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR FOR SEVERAL DAYS. ON 7/16, IT SEEMED SAFE, AND MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING WITH ME IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT HAPPENED AGAIN--ON A BUSY ROAD! THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON TOO. WE STOPP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT FAILURE OCCURRED WITH A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE RECALL FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT INDICATING THAT THE AIRBAG IS NOT ARMED WAS PERFORMED IN 2014. I NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH THIS LIGHT UNTIL AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED. SINCE THEN, IT OCCURS PERIODICALLY FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, DESPITE A PASSENGER OF FROM 80 LBS TO 215 LBS. I TELL THEM TO SIT BACK HARDER OR LIFT THEIR BUTT UP AND SIT DOWN AGAIN TO SEE IF THE LIGHT GOES OFF. SOMETIMES IT DOES WITH THE HEAVIEST PASSENGERS, BUT NOT WITH THE LIGHTEST. THIS IS VERY INTERMITTENT AND THE DEALER REPS CAN NEVER DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I SUSPECT THE ISSUE IS IN THE SENSORS IN THE SEAT, BUT WHO KNOWS? OBVIOUSLY, THERE ARE MANY OTHER PATHFINDERS WITH THE SAME ON-GOING PROBLEM AND THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW IF THE AIRBAG IS REALLY INOPERATIVE OR WHETHER IT WILL WORK DESPITE THE LIGHT. I DON'T WANT TO FIND OUT EITHER! FORTUNATELY, I DRIVE CAREFULLY.

IN MAY 2014, THERE WAS A NHTSA RECALL(14V-138) FOR THE OCS SYSTEM THAT "IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE OCS SOFTWARE MAY INCORRECTLY CLASSIFY THE PASSENGER SEAT AS EMPTY WHEN IT IS OCCUPIED BY AN ADULT." AS A RESULT OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE, THE POSSIBILITY OF FAILURE OF THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY INCREASES THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE PASSENGER. MY NISSAN PATHFINDER, PURCHASED JUNE 2013 AT AIRPORT NISSAN IN CLEVELAND, OH, WAS SERVICED FOR THIS RECALL IN JUNE 2014; HOWEVER, THE SAFETY ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED BY THE SOFTWARE REPROGRAMMING AND THIS ISSUE CONTINUES IN MY VEHICLE TO THIS DAY. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE 9 TIMES RELATED TO THIS ISSUE AS THIS SAFETY CONCERN WAS REPORTED BEFORE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED, FIRST REPORTED FEBRUARY 2014. THE AIRPORT NISSAN SERVICE DEPT HAS REPLACED THE AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT, REPLACED THE SEAT FRAME, REPLACED BOTH SENSORS, ENSURED PROPER TORQUEING AND COMPLETED ZERO POINT CALIBRATIONS PER THE SERVICE WRITE UPS AND DIRECTION OF NISSAN CORPORATE. A COMPLAINT WAS FILED WITH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND NISSAN REGIONAL DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTER, BILL MCRAY WAS SENT TO TEST MY VEHICLE. THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED DURING TESTING AND NO CODES SHOWED ON THE SYSTEM. HOWEVER, I HAVE VIDEO OF THE LIGHT ON WHILE A PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT FROM EARLY 2014 UP TO JULY 2, 1015. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPT RULED THAT THEY WERE NOT IN A POSITION TO BUY BACK MY CAR AND BECAUSE MY CAR IS STILL IN WARRANTY, THEY WOULD NOT OFFER ASSISTANCE IN PURCHASING A NEW PATHFINDER; EVE

WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE LOOSES POWER, ACCELERATION, PRESSING ON GAS AND NOTHING HAPPENS, SHIFT CAR TO NEUTRAL AND PRESS ON GAS AND RPM"S GO UP, SHIFT BACK TO DRIVE, PRESS ON GAS AND RPM'S DON'T MOVE, VEHICLE DOES NOT GO. ALL THE TIMES THAT IT HAS HAPPENED WE HAD TO COAST EITHER TO THE SIDE OF ROAD, OR TO NEXT LIGHT. THIS IS A REAR END COLLISION WAITING TO HAPPEN, THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE!!! TOOK CAR TO NISSAN DEALER, BUT SINCE CAR DID NOT DETECT ANY ERROR CODES, DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO FIND FIX, BUT THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG WITH CAR, HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM WENT UNTO THIS SITE AND FOUND MORE THAN 100 COMPLAINT SIMILAR TO MINE, ABOUT CAR LOOSING POWER. SOMEBODY HAS TO LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR DIES. THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND I HAVE A 3YR OLD AND A 2YR OLD THAT SHE DRIVES AROUND, PLEASE, SOMEONE LOOK INTO THIS. *TR

I GOT A NISSAN PATHFINDER PLATINUM 2013, WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 40 MPH, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IT STOPPED ACCELERATING FOR A GOOD 5 TO 15 SECONDS, EVEN THU I PRESSED THE GAS MEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THAT HAPPENED VERY OFTEN NOW. I TOOK IT TO THE SUTHERLAND NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN FORT MYERS , FLORIDA, THEY WERE TELLING IT COULD BE THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY WHO HAS THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR NISSAN VEHICLE TO COME FORWARD AND COMPLAINED. THAT CVT TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT DIRECTLY PUT PEOPLE LIFE IN GREAT DANGER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE WITH AN AVERAGE SIZE ADULT SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND INDICATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS DEACTIVATED AND WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS RESET; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WHEN PASSENGER IN EXCESS OF 120LBS IS SEATED IN SEAT. LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES ON AND GOES OFF EVEN THOUGH PASSENGER IS SEATED PROPERLY. HAVE REPORTED THIS TO NISSAN REPEATEDLY AND THEY INDICATE AIRBAG SENSOR IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO HESITATE EXCESSIVELY IN A JERKING MOTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM WAS REPROGRAMMED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER THE REPAIR. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO OPERATE WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

THE LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WOULD NOT GO OFF, AND ENGINE WOULD BE SURGING AND THE CAR WOULD SHAKE, EVEN IF THE CAR WAS ON CRUSE CONTROL MODE AND SPECIALLY GOING UP HILL. WE TOOK IT TO A DEALER TWICE AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM- "COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THEY "UPDATED THE SOFTWARE" TO NO AVAIL. THEY SEND US TO THE COMPANY AND THEY DID NOT DO ANYTHING.

PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS NOT WORKING AGAIN. FIRST TIME FIXED BY NISSAN BASED ON RECALL ISSUED. ONCE AGAIN THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG LIGHT IS INDICATING THE PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT OCCUPIED WHEN IT IS BEING OCCUPIED. DO NOT KNOW IF AIRBAG IS WORKING OR NOT. THE VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AT 37,530 MILES. NISSAN HEADQUARTERS WAS NOT HELPFUL; TOLD ME TO TAKE BACK TO DEALER AND HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AT MY EXPENSE. TOLD TO CALL BACK AND ADVISE THEM OF RESULTS; THEY WOULD THEN TAKE IT UNDER ADVISEMENT!

I HAVE EXPERIENCED AN INCREASED IN BRAKE, EVERY TIME I HIT SLIGHTLY THE GAS PEDAL ON MY 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER PLATINUM..AND I WAS DRIVING AROUND 15 TO 20 MILES/HOUR, I DON'T KNOW WHY NISSAN HAS PUT IN THE MARKET A CAR WITH SO MANY BUGS.

MY PATHFINDER HAS ALREADY HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED ONCE AND IS STILL HAVING ISSUES. SINCE THIS PAST THURSDAY, IT HAS BEEN HESITATING OR FEELING LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL WHEN IT IS IN DRIVE. I TOOK NOTE OF THE LATEST ONE TODAY. I WAS STOPPED (ON A MAJOR STREET) WAITING FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO PASS. IT DID, AND I ACCELERATED TO TURN LEFT AND THE CAR FELT LIKE I HAD PUT IT IN NEUTRAL. IT WAS SLOWLY ROLLING BUT NOT ACCELERATING AS I CROSSED OVER THE ON-COMING LANE AND CONTINUED WITH MY LEFT TURN. I CHECK TO SEE IF IT WAS IN DRIVE (IT WAS) AND CHECKED THE SPEED (20MPH) BECAUSE I HAD BROUGHT IT IN LAST WEEK WHEN IT DID IT THE FIRST THREE TIMES, AND THEY ASKED ME WHAT SPEED I WAS GOING WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE TIME PRIOR TO THAT I WAS CHANGING LANES ON THE HIGHWAY (INFRONT OF A LARGE TRUCK) AT ABOUT 50 MPH AND WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE, I GOT THE SAME FEELING. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! THE TIME PRIOR TO THAT, I HAD BEEN AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED, I CROSSED OVER THE FIRST SECTION OF THE RED LIGHT THEN TURNED LEFT AND ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE BUT IT (AGAIN) FELT LIKE I HAD THROWN IT INTO NEUTRAL. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR A SECOND TO LET OTHER CARS PASS IN CASE IT STALLED ON ME. THE FIRST TIME WAS JUST WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS HAS ME EXTREMELY SCARED AS IN TWO OF THE SITUATIONS, I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF I COULDN'T ACCELERATE TO MOVE AND A CAR PLOWED INTO ME.

I HAD THAT NISSAN PATHFINDER PATINUM FOR A WEEK, I NOTICED IT SHUDDERING AND SHAKING WHEN I PRESS LIGHTLY ON THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE., ITS LIKE THE VEHICLES SHUTTING DOWN ON ME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SUTHERLIN NISSAN IN FORT-MYERS, FLORIDA AND I'M STILL WAITING ON THEM. FOR WHOEVER WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THIS KIND OF SHUDDERING PROBLEM, ITS A VERY SCARY AND FRIGHTENED MOMENT. NISSAN NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A LOCAL STREET TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR. AS I WAS ACCELERATING DOWN THE STREET MY CAR BEGIN TO SLOW DOWN WITHOUT ME HITTING THE BRAKES. I HAD TO TURN IN THE TURNING LANE SO KNOW ONE WOULD HIT THE BACK OF MY CAR. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE NISSAN DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING, BUT THE SAID IT WAS A RECALL ON A PART ON MY TRANSMISSION. THEY FIXED IT. I NOTICED THE SAME THING HAPPENED TWO WEEKS LATER. *TR
