2013 Nissan Pathfinder complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPIED, THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSORS WERE REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000. ... UPDATED 06-02-15 *BF UPDATED 10/12/2017*CN

I HAVE SEEN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT COME ON AND OFF FOR THE PAST 10,000 MILES. IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS IT JUST BLINKS ALL THE TIME. THE VEHICLE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY FOR A TOTAL OF THREE MORE RECALLS, CVT REPROGRAM, HOOD LATCH, AND REPROGRAM THE OCS ( AIR BAG ). I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP, STARTED THE CAR, AND LIGHT WAS STILL BLINKING? IF THE LIGHT IS STILL BLINKING ALL THE TIME, THE PASS SIDE AIR BAG IS NOT OPERABLE? SO THE OCS RECALL IS A WASTE OF TIME, I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT THERE LIGHT IS STILL ON ALSO! WHAT IS REALLY WRONG WITH THE CAR? WHO IS RESPONSIBLE WHEN AN ACCIDENT OCCURS AND THE PASSENGER IS INJURED? *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG, GOING ABOUT 40 MPH, WHEN SUDDENLY, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND I WAS FORCED TO COAST IT TO THE SHOULDER AND RESTART IT AGAIN. I HAD ABOUT 3/4 TANK OF GAS, SO THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED AT LEAST TWICE SINCE THEN AND WE HAD IT SERVICED ON YESTERDAY, BUT THE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. HOWEVER, THIS LOSS OF POWER, ESPECIALLY ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THANK YOU *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, SMOKE STARTED TO EMIT FROM THE ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THIS IS A COMPLAINT SUPPORTING NHTSA ACTION NUMBER RQ15001. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED (SHOWING THE AIRBAG IS OFF) WHILE AN ADULT OVER 150 LBS IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE COMPLAINT. I ALSO HAVE 2 VIDEOS OF THE ISSUE WHILE TRAVELING IN THE VEHICLE TO PROVE THAT THEIR IS AN ISSUE THAT EXISTS. IT HAS ALREADY HAD THE RECALL DONE ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS ISSUE. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS). *TR

THE TAILGATE/HATCHBACK TRIED TO CLOSE ON WIFE'S HEAD AS SHE WAS PLACING STUFF INTO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO ME. IT OCCURS WHEN THE GATE HASN'T FULLY OPENED YET, BUT FOR SOME REASON, IT DECIDES TO CLOSE INSTEAD OF OPEN WHEN SOMEONE IS REACHING INTO THE BACK. *TR

INTERMITTENTLY WHEN MY WIFE, WHO WEIGHS 110 LBS. SITS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. I HAVE TO STOP THE CAR, SHUT IT OFF AND RESTART IT ONE OR TWO TIMES. I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER, THEY CHECK EVERYTHING OUT AND TELL ME IT'S WORKING AS DESIGNED. IT HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR SENSOR REPLACEMENT. THE LAST TIME I WAS THERE THEY SAID THEY COULD RESET THE COMPUTER TO 0 TOLERANCE. NOT SURE WHAT THAT DOES TO THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. THEY HAVE TOLD MY WIFE TO SIT ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT AND ALSO IN THE CENTER OF THE SEAT. WHICH DOESN'T SEEM TO MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. THE LATEST INCIDENT WAS 04/06/15. *TR

UPON ACCELERATION FROM IDLE OR AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATION PEDAL PRODUCES NO MOVEMENT. YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN, UPON WHICH NO MOVEMENT FORWARD IS CREATED. ALSO, THE PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG, EVEN WITH A 160 POUND PASSENGER SITS IN SEAT, AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL TURNED OFF, SUBSEQUENTLY TURNING OFF AIRBAG. *TR

MY 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER WAS INVOLVED IN A SIDE IMPACT ACCIDENT ON MAY 11TH, 2014. THREE OCCUPANTS OF MY MV WERE INJURED, INCLUDING MYSELF. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS. WITH THIS RECALL THE SIDE PASSENGER AIRBAGS WOULD FAIL TO DEPLOY IN A SIDE IMPACT ACCIDENT. AFTER MAY 11, 2014, I TOOK MY 2013 PATHFINDER TO LIA NISSAN IN ENFIELD, CT, TO HAVE MY AIRBAGS INSPECTED TO SEE IF THEY OPERATED PROPERLY IN THE ACCIDENT. WITHOUT INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE FEMALE SERVICE TECH./MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD SURELY HAVE OPERATED PROPERLY IN THE ACCIDENT AS DESIGNED. THE SERVICE EMPLOYEE STATED I NEEDED TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED SO THEY COULD PERFORM THE RECALL ON THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS/AIR BAG SENSOR. THEY WOULD NOT INSPECT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. DAMAGE TO THE 2013 PATHFINDER INCLUDED FRAME DAMAGE, BOTH PASSENGER DOORS WERE INOPERABLE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT FRAME WAS REPLACED AS IT WAS BENT IN THE ACCIDENT. MV WAS REPAINTED. AFTER THE REPAIRS, I WAS STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT STAYING ON INDICATING THE AIRBAGS WERE OFF. AT VARIOUS NORMAL SERVICE (OIL CHANGES ETC...) I INFORMED NISSAN TECHS ABOUT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT. I WAS GIVEN THIS ADVICE FROM THE SERVICE TECH. IF THE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN TURN THE MV ON AND OFF TO RESET THE SENSOR. MARCH 2015 AFTER READING THE ARTICLE REGARDING THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION INTO THESE SAME ISSUES. I AGAIN TOOK MY MV TO LIA NISSAN IN ENFIELD, CT. TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE PASSENGER AIRB

TURNING INTO PARKING SPACE AT MCDONALDS. FOOT ON BRAKES, SHIFT LEVER IN DRIVE, ENGINE SPEED AT IDLE. A BRIGHT RED FLASHING "EMERGENCY" LIGHT APPEARED INSIDE THE SPEEDOMETER RING AT THE NINE O'CLOCK POSITION. SIMULTANEOUSLY ACCOMPANIED BY A COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. THIS LIGHT IS NOT MENTIONED IN THE OPERATORS MANUAL. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE PORT CHARLOTTE FL DEALER AND CHECKED OUT PERFECTLY. THEIR MAINTENANCE SUPERVISOR KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS LIGHT--IT IS NOT IN THEIR MAINTENANCE MANUAL. I HAVE THREE EYE WITNESSES INSIDE THE CAR AT THE TIME. A LARGE SUV WITH NO BRAKES! WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING AT AN INCLINE OR AT A STOP BEFORE ACCESSING A HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE RUBBER AND THE ROOF RACKS DETERIORATED CAUSING THE RUBBER TO PARTIALLY DETACH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

MY 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER HAS BEEN IN THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPT FOR A TOTAL OF 38+ DAYS (5 VISITS TO THE SERVICE DEPT WITH VARRYING LENGHTS OF STAY). THE VEHICLE IS STILL CURRENTLY WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS, THAT'S WHY I SAY 38+ DAYS. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WHEN I SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR NEARLY A YEAR. DURING THIS YEAR I WAS PREGNANT AND MY WEIGHT WENT UP TO 192 POUNDS. I CURRENTLY WEIGH AROUND 155 POUNDS AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT STILL CONTINUES TO TURN ON. A SPECIALIST CAME OUT FROM NISSAN USA YESTERDAY AND TOLD MY HUSBAND THEY HAVE EXHAUSTED ALL OPTIONS IN REGARDS TO REPAIRING THE PASSENGER AIR BAGS. WE ARE COMPLETELY FRUSTRATED AS NISSAN IS UNABLE TO HELP US OUT, BUT WE HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS THAT OUR SUV IS UNSAFE. ANOTHER NOTE: WE HAVE PHOTOS AND VIDEO OF THE LIGHT GOING ON WHILE I'M SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO DETECT THAT THE SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS CHECKED AND UPGRADED BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE DEALER INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V138000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

THIS VEHICLE WAS PART OF A SAFETY RECALL BY NISSAN FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG OR OCS NOT CORRECTLY IDENTIFYING THE OCCUPANT. IN JUNE 2014 I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO STATELINE NISSAN, KANSAS CITY, MO AND THEY COMPLETED THE RECALL ACTIVITY, HOWEVER, WITHIN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, I NOTED THAT THE WARNING LIGHT ON THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG SYSTEM WAS STAYING ACTIVATED WHEN AN ADULT WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO STATELINE NISSAN IN OCT 2014 AND AFTER RUNNING THE DIAGNOSTICS, THEY STATED THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THEY ADVISED TO MAKE SURE THE FRONT ADULT PASSENGER WAS SITTING STRAIGHT AND NOT LEANING OFF CENTER. I HAVE SINCE NOTED THE WARNING LIGHT WILL PERIODICALLY STAY ON WHEN EITHER AN ADULT IS IN THE SEAT, OR EVEN WHEN NO ONE IS SEATED. I AGAIN CALLED STATELINE NISSAN ON 3/23/15 AFTER READING AN ARTICLE CONCERNING CONTINUED ISSUES WITH THE OCS STILL MALFUNCTIONING AND THE NHTSA RECEIVING COMPLAINT. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AS THIS WAS NO LONGER AN AUTHORIZED ACTIVITY FROM NISSAN, BUT TO BRING IN THE VEHICLE WHEN THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. PLEASE INCLUDE THIS COMPLAINT WITH THE OTHERS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V069000 (AIR BAGS) AND REPAIRED. A YEAR LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO RESET THE CODE; HOWEVER, THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP CAME BACK ON INDICATING THAT THE AIR BAG WAS OFF WHILE A PASSENGER WAS IN THE SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V138000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

WE NOTICED EARLY AFTER PURCHASE OF OUR 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DISABLE LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHETHER OR NOT THERE WAS SOMEONE SITTING IN THAT SEAT. BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP AND NOT MUCH HELP. REPROGRAM AND THE SAME ISSUE APPEARED IN JUST A FEW DAYS. MONTHS LATER NISSAN ISSUED A RECALL FOR PROGRAMMING. THIS STILL DID NOT CHANGE THE PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ENTIRE SEAT AT NO COST TO MYSELF. LIGHT STILL COMES ON WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN SEAT AT RANDOM TIMES OR NO ONE IS THE SEAT. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT WITHOUT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING CORRECTLY. AND HOW DO WE KNOW IT IS ACTUALLY GOING TO WORK? *TR

MY NISSAN PATHFINDER WAS FIXED UNDER THE RECALL FOR THE AIR BAG. WHILE DRIVING WITH MY 190 LB HUSBAND IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED INDICATING THAT THE AIRBAG WAS OFF. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, EVEN AFTER BEING FIXED. *TR

I AM FILING A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY NISSAN 2013 PATHFINDER, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR INDICATES THAT IT IS OFF WHEN MY 8 MONTH PREGNANT WIFE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE TAKEN THIS TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP, BEAU TOWNSEND NISSAN IN VANDALIA, OHIO, TWICE AND THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAID IT IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT UNLESS THE SENSOR ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAY SHOWS THE AIRBAG IS OFF. I HAVE BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT THIS FOR MY WIFE'S SAFETY BEING PREGNANT WHEN SHE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I FEEL THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND TAKEN CARE OF IMMEDIATELY. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO INTEREST IN FIGURING OUT THIS PROBLEM BEYOND TELLING ME THAT IT IS NO BIG DEAL. *TR

AT TIMES THE PASSENGER AIR BAG STATUS LIGHT STAYS ON, INDICATING THE AIR BAG IS TURNED OFF EVEN THOUGH AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE SEAT, THIS CONTINUES AFTER 2 YEARS AND MANY TRIPS TO THE DEALER FOR ZERO THE SYSTEM (2 TIMES), REPLACE SENSORS, TORQUE SENSORS, REPLACE CONTROLLER, UPDATE SOFTWARE (2X) AND A PHONE COMPLAINT TO NISSAN. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I START CAR WHEN WIFE IS GETTING IN THE CAR. WHILE IT IS UNDERSTANDABLE A FALSE READING WILL OCCUR SINCE WEIGHT IS CHANGING AS IT IS SAMPLED, MY ISSUE IS THAT THE FAULT DOES NOT CLEAR FOR 25 TO 30 MINUTES BEFORE THE PROPER WEIGHT IS SENSED. . WHEN WE NOTICE THE WARNING LIGHT I STOP AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON "FIXING" THE ISSUE. BUT THE WARNING LIGHT IS HARD TO SEE IF SUN IS SHINING ON THE DASH BOARD AND AT TIMES WE HAVE ALREADY ENTERED A FREEWAY WITH NO GOOD PLACE TO PULL OVER. *TR

INDICATOR LIGHT FOR PASSENGER FRONT AIR BAG INTERMITTENTLY WOULD SAY THAT IT IS OFF WHEN MY WIFE (141 LBS.) SITS IN THE SEAT. WHEN WE WENT TO CURRY NISSAN, 765 MEMORIAL DRIVE, CHICOPEE, MA 01020, THE DEALER WE WERE TOLD THERE WAS NO ASSIGNED WEIGHT FOR THE SENSOR AND SHE SHOULD EAT MORE FOR LUNCH TO GAIN SOME WEIGHT. WE WENT ROUND AND ROUND FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS UNTIL THEY SAID THERE WAS A FIX WHICH THEY DID BUT THE PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE. THEN WE WERE TOLD TO WAIT A FEW WEEKS AND THE WOULD HAVE MORE INFORMATION ON THE SITUATION. WHEN I WENT BACK THEY PUT A WEIGHT ON THE FRONT SEAT AND SAID THE SWITCH WAS WORKING FINE. A FEW DAYS LATER WHEN MY WIFE GOT IN THE VEHICLE AGAIN THE LIGHT INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG WAS OFF. AFTER A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS OF ALWAYS BEING AFRAID THAT IF WE EVER HAVE A CRASH WHERE THE FRONT AIR BAG SHOULD DEPLOY AND DOES NOT WE WOULD NOT BE HAPPY WITH THE END RESULTS OF HAVING THIS DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. TODAY WE SAW A REPORT ON COMPLAINTS FILED BY OTHERS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND WANTED TO PUT OUR INFORMATION INTO THE COMPLAINT. *TR

MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED BY NISSAN FOR THE AIRBAG SENSOR FAILING TO RECOGNIZE WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER OCCUPYING THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE RECALL WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THE ERROR IN THE SENSOR. HOWEVER, AFTER THEY "FIXED THE PROBLEM," THE SENSOR CONTINUES TO INDICATE THERE IS NO PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHILE OCCUPIED, AND THE AIR BAG IS NOT TURNED ON. WHEN I INQUIRED ABOUT THIS THE MOST RECENT TIME THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR SERVICE AT THE DEALERSHIP (NISSAN OF OMAHA), THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN FIXED, AND EVEN IF IT INDICATES THE AIRBAG IS TURNED OFF, IT IS ACTUALLY ON. NOT ONLY DID THEY FAIL TO FIX THIS SAFETY PROBLEM, BUT THEY ALSO LIED ABOUT IT WORKING! THIS IS VERY DECEITFUL, AND COULD BE A MAJOR LIABILITY ISSUE AND LAWSUIT DOWN THE ROAD. *TR

PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR AGAIN NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. IT WAS REPAIRED BY NISSAN AFTER FIRST RECALL. *TR

HAD RECALL ON TRANSMISSION FOR SOFTWARE UPDATE, LEFT DEALERSHIP ONCE IT WAS DONE. COULD NOT ACCELERATE TO GET OFF OF HILL BEHIND THE DEALERSHIP. VEHICLE WOULD ONLY GO IN REVERSE. HAD THE PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE IN A JERKING MOTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BEARING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE WHEEL BEARING WAS REPLACED FOUR TIMES ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS. IN ADDITION, BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES WERE REPLACED THREE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

DRIVING AT 55 MPH AND NOTICED THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WAS LIT INDICATING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS DISABLED. MY WIFE IS OVER 135 LBS AND HAD HER SEATBELT ON. I PULLED OVER AND PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL. DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. PUT IN PARK AND RESTARTED CAR AND LIGHT WENT OUT. THIS HAS OCCURRED PREVIOUSLY AND SOLUTION WAS THE SAME. I TOOK A PICTURE OF THE LIGHT WITH WIFE IN THE SEAT. REPORTED TO DEALERSHIP AND HE SAID SOMETIMES THE ONBOARD COMPUTER GETS CONFUSED AND THE RESTART CLEARS THE ISSUE. HE SAID THE WEIGHT WAS AN ISSUE ALTHOUGH FED GUIDELINES ARE 108 LBS. HE ALSO SAID THAT THE SEATBELT WOULD DO THE JOB AND THAT AIRBAGS WOULD ONLY RESULT IN INJURY TO THE PASSENGER... TOLD HIM I WAS NOT BUYING HIS BS. *TR

2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER ELECTRIC POWER WHEELS MAKES HIGH PITCH NOISE. IT IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TO ME CAUSING HEADACHES. THE NOISE IS VERY LOUD, I HAVE TO TURN ON THE CD OR RADIO. AND MAKE ME CANNOT FOCUS ON MY DRIVING. I WENT TO THREE NISSAN DEALERS, BUT THEY ALL TOLD ME THAT IT IS NORMAL. BUT THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT NORMAL. AND OTHER CARS DO NOT MAKE THIS NOISE. THIS HIGH PITCH NOISE STARTS WHEN WEATHER GOT COLD. NISSAN DEALER TOLD ME THAT WHEN WEATHER GETS WARM, THE NOISE WILL GONE. BUT WE LIVE IN THE MA 01824, IT IS LONG WINTER. *TR

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE, THE HOOD KEPT VIBRATING. IT LOOK LIKE THE HOOD WAS LIFTING AND WOULD FLY UP. MY BROTHER LOOKED AT IT BUT COULD NOT FIND WHAT WOULD CAUSE THE PROBLEM SO HE SUGGESTED I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERS. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WAS JUST THE WAY THE HOOD WORKED AND DID NOTHING. THE SECOND TIME I REPORTED THE PROBLEM I THREATENED THAT IF I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT I WOULD SUE THE COMPANY. THIS TIME THEY DID TAKE A LOOK AT THE HOOD. THEY DID SOMETHING WHICH RESULTED INLESS VIBRATION, HOWEVER AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND WINDY WEATHER, I ENCOUNTER THE SAME PROBLEM . *TR

MY AUNT WAS A PASSENGER IN MY CAR. SHE WEIGHS APPROXIMATELY 110LBS. I NOTICED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN SHE WAS IN THE CAR THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT DID NOT GO OUT. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I ASKED HER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE THEN SIT BACK DOWN. THIS SEEMS TO TEMPORARILY SOLVED THE PROBLEM. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE VEHICLE AIRBAG. AFTER THE SERVICE THE DEALER TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED. HOWEVER, PERIODICALLY I NOTICED THAT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. JUST RECENTLY A FRIEND WHO IS APPROXIMATELY 170LBS WAS IN THE FRONT SEAT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYED ON. SHE EXITED THE VEHICLE AND THEN SAT BACK DOWN BUT THE LIGHT STAYED ON FOR A FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING BEFORE GOING OFF. *TR

WHEN THE CAR IS FULL OF PASSENGERS THE TRANSMISSION STARTS TO MISS SHIFT CAUSING A VIBRATION. FEELS UNSAFE WHEN CARRYING PASSENGERS. ALSO VEHICLES BACKUP CAMERA IS STARTING TO ACT UP. THE VIDEO IS SCREEN HAS LINES THROUGH IT AND SOMETIMES THE BACKUP ALARMS DEACTIVATE. *TR

WHILE OPENING THE DOOR TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE THE INTERNAL MECHANISM OF THE DOOR HANDLE STRIPPED AND BROKE, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS TOOK A WEEK FOR NISSAN TO ORDER THE PARTS AND GET IT FIXED. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MY FAMILY AND I , AS I COULD NOT EXIT THE VEHICLE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. *TR

I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. I DROVE A FEW YARDS AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 25MPH EVEN THOUGH I WAS PUSHING ON THE ACCELERATOR. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS, BUT THE RPM'S WOULD NOT GO UP. I STOPPED AND PUT IT IN PARK, REVVED THE ENGINE, AND PUT IT IN DRIVE AGAIN. IT WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT A MILE UNTIL I PULLED UP TO A STOP LIGHT. AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO GO OVER 25 MPH. (I WAS TURNING LEFT AT THE INTERSECTION, SO IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS THAT I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO ACCELERATE AS I WAS FACING UPCOMING TRAFFIC.) I PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER AND PUT IT IN PARK AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT THE ADDITIONAL MILE HOME BUT THANKFULLY DID NOT HAVE TO STOP AT A LIGHT AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP HAS RAN DIAGNOSTICS ON IT AND CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT, BUT I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. *TR

HOOD SHAKES/VIBRATES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE HIGHER THE SPEED, THE MORE IT VIBRATES, AND IT IS MUCH WORSE IF IT IS WINDY; IT SEEMS AS THE HOOD WAS NOT CLOSE PROPERLY -ALTHOUGH IT IS- AND IS ABOUT TO POP OPEN. THE DEALER CLAIMED THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE HOOD, AND SIMPLY ADJUSTED SOME KNOBS UNDER IT, BUT THIS MADE NO DIFFERENCE. *TR

OVER THE PAST TWO MONTH I'VE HAD 4 INCIDENTS WHEN I STOP AT A LIGHT OR SIGN AND WHEN I HIT MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO START MOVING AGAIN NOTHING HAPPENS. SOMETIMES I LIFT MY FOOT OFF OF THE PEDAL AND THEM BACK AGAIN AND IT STARTS WORKING NORMALLY. OTHER TIMES THE ACCELERATOR STARTS WORKING AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF BEING DEPRESSED.....MORE THAN A LITTLE NU-NERVING WHEN ENTERING HEAVY TRAFFIC AREAS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG PASSENGER'S SIDE WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED EVEN WITH AN OCCUPANT PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V138000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND THE VIN WAS INCLUDED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A PROBLEM AND INFORMED THAT THE PASSENGER DID NOT WEIGH ENOUGH AND CONTRIBUTED TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. DROVE BEAUTIFUL WHILE TEST DRIVING. THE NEXT MORNING THE VEHICLE STARTED HER JERKING SO BAD THAT I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS FALLING OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. WONDERING HOW SAFE THIS VEHICLE REALLY IS WHEN NEEDING TO TRANSPORT CHILDREN. DISGUSTED WITH THE POWER I AM FINDING. *JS

DRIVING WOULD NOTICE THAT CAR WOULD NOT GO WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE SO TOOK IN MANY TIMES TO DEALERSHIP WHICH ALWAYS TOLD ME IT JUST NEEDED UPDATING SO IT HAPPENED AGAIN THEN THEY SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE. BUT THE THING THAT UPSET ME WAS THEY PUT A REFURBISHED ONE IN WHICH WASN'T RIGHT SINCE I BOUGHT BRAND NEW. STILL HAVING PROBLEMS TOOK AGAIN AND ONCE AGAIN NEEDED UPDATING DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO DINT UNDERSTAND WHY NISSIAN DOESN'T TAKE CARE OF THESE ISSUES OR BUY BACK THESE LEMON CARS FRUSTRATED. ALSO NEVER RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE FROM NISSIAN EVER SINCE I BOUGHT CAR I HAD TO GOOGLE SEARCH WHICH IS HORRIBLE UNPROFESSIONAL *JS

2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. VEHICLE HAS REPEATED PROBLEMS OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. *TA THE CONSUMER STATED IN JUNE 2014, HE RECEIVED A RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE R1405 TO REPROGRAM THE SOFTWARE. THE REPROGRAMMING WAS COMPLETE, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM SO HE HAD TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR ANOTHER REPROGRAM, BUT TO NO AVAIL. ON DECEMBER 1, 2014, THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALER SO THEY COULD REPLACE THE SEAT SENSORS TO ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM WHICH DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE DEALER CLAIMED IT MIGHT BE A CONTROLLER THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONSUMER NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, UNTIL THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED, I HAD IT FOR 10 DAYS, I WAS DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED 10-15 MPH AND MY PATHFINDER STARTED JERKING. I THOUGHT I WAS DRIVING ON A BAD PART OR MY TIRE HAD BLOWN UP. I PULLED INTO A STORE, EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE, I LEFT AND AS I WAS MAKING A TURN, IT STARTED THE JERKING AGAIN, I WAS HEADING HOME AND ONLY A FEW MIN AWAY AND AFTER ANOTHER TURN, IT STARTED JERKING AGAIN!! I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY CALLED SAYING NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD! IT'S HORRIBLY FRIGHTENING AND SICKENING TO NOT KNOW WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND TO KNOW YOU'VE SPENT ALL THIS MONEY ON A CRAP CAR THAT THEY WON'T FIX UNDER WARRANTY! *TR

LEFT FRONT INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF. YOU CANNOT GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. 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. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN MARCH 2014. IT WAS A USED PLATINUM PATHFINDER WITH 4900 MILES ON IT. WITHIN MONTHS, I NOTICED A VIOLENT SHAKING WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS. I TOOK IT IN OCTOBER 30, 2014 TO GET THE SHUDDER FIXED. I WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG, ITS JUST HOW THE CVT WORKS. SO, I LEFT. ON JANUARY 22,2015, THE CAR LOST POWER AS I WAS CROSSING INTO TRAFFIC ON A 4 LANE ROAD. THIS NEARLY RESULTED IN ME AND MY CHILDREN BEING TBONED BY A UHAUL. THANKFULLY THEY WERE ABLE TO STOP IN TIME. IT HAPPENED ONE MORE TIME ON THE WAY HOME THAT DAY AS I PULLED OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT. THE CAR GETS TO ABOUT 20 MPH AND NOTHING. I IMMEDIATELY CALL JERRY ROME NISSAN AND TOLD THEM I WANTED A RENTAL AND THEY NEEDED TO FIX MY CAR. I AGREED TO BRING IT IN THE FOLLOWING WEEK. IN THE MEANTIME, THE POWER LOSS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN. AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, A MASTER MECHANIC TOOK A RIDE WITH ME AND I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO DO IT. THEY HOOKED THE CAR UP TO THE COMPUTER AND GOT NO CODES...AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE SO THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I HAVE SPENT THE PAST WEEK RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE AND I'M SURE YOU ARE AWARE, THIS IS A WIDESPREAD, VERY SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THESE CARS. NISSAN IS NEGLIGENT IN CONTINUING TO SELL THESE CARS KNOWING THE CVT IS TOO SMALL FOR THIS VEHICLE. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO. THEN I GET A CALL TODAY FROM JERRY ROME STATING THAT THEY HAVE A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THIS CAR SO THEY'LL BE REPROGRAMMING THE T

WHILE DRIVING MY 2013 PATHFINDER AT SLOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE POWER AND NOT ACCELERATE. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10+ TIMES IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. THE LATEST TIME I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN YIELDING TO ON COMING TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE PATHFINDER WAS MOVING ABOUT 5-10 MPH. THE ONCOMING VEHICLE APPROACHING HAD TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES SO THEY DIDN'T HIT US (I HAD 6 KIDS IN THE CAR). THE PATHFINDER THEN KICKED IN AND STALLED AT THE FOLLOWING LIGHT AROUND 1/4 MILE DOWN THE ROAD. IT IS INTERMITTENT AND HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE. PATHFINDER IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THAT THEY HAVE IT FIXED BY A BRAKE SWITCH REPLACEMENT. THE REGIONAL CONSUMER SPECIALIST FROM NISSAN NA ASSIGNED TO US STATED HE WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY ACCELERATION PROBLEMS AT ALL IN PATHFINDERS. *TR

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE MY HUSBAND IMMEDIATELY BEGAN SAYING SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE AS TIME WENT BY. TAKING OFF FROM A STOPPED POSITION IT WOULD STALL BEFORE TAKING OFF. THEN IT STARTED SHUTTERING AFTER TAKE OFF. THEN ESCALATED TO SHUTTERING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 20-30 USUALLY WHEN I WAS IN THE SCHOOL ZONE TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS NISSAN FINALLY DECIDED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE A BABY AS WELL AS TWO OTHER CHILDREN THAT ARE IN THIS VEHICLE EVERYDAY. ONCE THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED IT STARTED HAVING A PROBLEM AT ANY SPEED WHERE IT FELT LIKE THE MOTOR WAS GOING TO JUMP OUT OF THE VEHICLE WHICH JERKED MY CHILDREN AND SCARED THEM. I M ALSO NOTICING MORE AND MORE PROBLEMS WITH IT NOT WANTING TO GO INTO GEAR. I HAVE ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE BACK HATCH COMING OPEN AT VARIOUS TIMES FOR NO REASON. ONE DAY I WALKED OUT OF WORK TO FIND THAT IT WAS OPEN THE DOORS TO THE VEHICLE WERE STILL LOCKED. ON ANOTHER OCCASION I FOUND THE BACK HATCH OPEN AND IT HAD RAINED ALL NIGHT AND THE NEIGHBOR STRAYS HAD SLEPT IN MY VEHICLE ALL NIGHT AGAIN THE DOORS WERE LOCKED. NO ONE HAD TOUCHED MY KEYS SO NO REASON FOR HOW IT KEEPS MYSTERIOUSLY COMING OPEN. THE PREVIOUS PATHFINDER I HAD WOULD LET DOWN THE FRONT WINDOWS AT VARIOUS TIMES FOR NO REASON. SAID IT WAS A SAFETY FEATURE...DIDN'T SEEM VERY SAFE TO ME TO COME OUT OF A STORE TO FIND MY WINDOWS DOWN. UNFORTUNATELY CANT TRADE IT IN BECAUSE

THE CAR WAS VIBRATING HEAVILY. PEOPLE SAID THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS STRUCK ON THE REAR DRIVER SIDE BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE SPUN AROUND INTO THE GRASS FACING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT WAS INJURED AND RECEIVED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,891.

2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER HESITATED (SHUDDER) WHEN I ACCELERATED THE VEHICLE FROM A STANDSTILL IN TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE FOR ABOUT 2-3 SECONDS. IT SOUNDED LIKE THE VEHICLES POWER JUST SHUT OFF. AFTER 2-3 SECONDS, THE VEHICLE THEN ACCELERATED. THIS HAPPENS EVERY SO OFTEN FROM A STANDSTILL/PAUSE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM TO MY NISSAN SERVICE DEALER. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. I TURNED THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER ON 12/30/14 DUE TO AN "IKEY ERROR CODE" ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE UNIT HAD TO BE REPLACED. TOO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. LUCKILY I STILL HAVE WARRANTY. DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMETHING MAJOR HAPPENS. *JS

ON SLOW ROAD COASTING BETWEEN 15-20MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND SHAKED FOR AROUND 3 SECONDS UNTIL ACCELERATED ABOVE 20 MPH. ON DEC 17, MADE THE SAME IN ANOTHER ROAD, SAME MPH. YESTERDAY 12/30 DID IT AGAIN. IN ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ON THE DEALER, 12/26 INFORMED ABOUT THE TWO (2) FIRST EVENTS. THEY RECORDED IT ON THE JOB; THEY NEED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE MORE TIME IN ORDER TO REPRODUCE. IMO AT THIS TIME, WITH SO MANY OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME PROGRESSIVE DEFECT, IS NO NEED TO LEAVE A VEHICLE DAYS (AND OTHERS PUTTING MILEAGE ON IT) TO REPRODUCE THIS RANDOM PROBLEM IN ADDITION OF THE INCONVENIENCE OF BEING WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION. *JS

2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER WILL HESITATE (SHUDDER) WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND GEAR WHILE GOING APROX 20MPH. I HAVE ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM TO MY NISSAN SERVICE DEALER AND THEY GIVE ME THE CAN NOT DUPLICATE ISSUE, NO CHECK ENGINE LITE CODE. NOTHING THEY CAN DO. TODAY 12/30/14 GOING REAL SLOW BEHIND ANOTHER CAR APROX 20MPH THE PATHFINDER IS SHUDDERING AND BANGING LIKE CRAZY, AND LOSS OF POWER. PLEASE NISSAN CO. DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMETHING MAJOR HAPPENS BEFORE YOU ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. *JS

WHILE TRAVELING AT HWY SPEEDS (65 - 80MPH) THE HOOD VIBRATES AND MOVES EXCESSIVELY IN THE AIR STREAM. IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO POP OFF AND CRASH INTO THE WINDSHIELD. MY CONCERN IS FATIGUE CAUSED FROM THE MOVEMENT WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE THE HOOD TO FLY UP CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR EVEN BLOWING OFF. *TR
