2013 Nissan Pathfinder complaints

SHIFT SELECTOR IS LOCKED...HAS TO UNLOCK IT MANUALLY.. THIS CAR IS 26722 MILLES...LITTLE USE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE SUN VISOR DETACHED FROM THE UNIT. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MOSSY NISSAN (8118 CLAIREMONT MESA BLVD, SAN DIEGO, CA 92111,(858) 565-4411) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPRINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

RADIATOR FANS NEEDING REPLACING EVERY TWO YEARS.

STATIONARY. INSIDE DOOR HANDLES WOULD NOT OPEN THE DOORS. BOTH FRONT SEAT DOORS FAILED. DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE CAR. THIS ALSO HAPPENED ON ONE OF MY SISTERS 2013 PATHFINDERS PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR.

AROUND 90K MILES I BEGAN TO FEEL A SLIGHT VIBRATION WHEN ACCELERATING. NOW THAT MY EXTENDED CERTIFIED PRE OWNED WARRANTY IS OUT, IT RAN OUT AT 100K AND I CURRENTLY HAVE 105K MILES ON IT, THE VIBRATION HAS BECOME MORE NOTICABLE AFFECTING ACCELERATION . UPON REVIEWING MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE I FEEL LIKE I AM HAVING SAME ISSUE. THE CVT TRANSMISSION. IT USED TO ACCELERATE FAIRLY SMOOTH BUT NOW VIBRATES, IF YOU RELEASE THE GAS SOME AND REAPPLY THE GAS, IT SEEMS TO HELP IT SMOOTH IT OUT. SMOOTHS OUT OVER 60 MILES AND RUNS PRETTY SMOOTH. SO PROBLEM OCCURS DURING ACCELERATION BETWEEN 15 TO 45 MILES PER HOUR

MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT SHOW IN RECALL HOWEVER OVER 80,000 VEHICLES HAD SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING. THE BREAK LIGHT SWITCH, ELECTRICAL RELAY IS STICKING AND CAUSED BREAK LIGHTS TO BE ON WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF AND I AM NOT IN THE CAR. THEN WHEN DRIVING BREAK LIGHTS COME ON AND I AM NOT PRESSING THE BREAKS. ALSO THE CAR WOULD NOT GO WHEN SHOULD AND I HAVE TO HIT THE GAS PADDLE AGAIN TO MAKE IT MOVE. SCARY GETTING ON THE FREEWAY.

WE PURCHASED THE CAR USED IN AUGUST OF 2018. I DID NOTICE THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUN VISORS WERE HANGING LOW. AND THAT THEY DIDN'T FULLY HOLD UP WHEN USED. I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND THEY SAID IT WASN'T A WARRANTY COVERED ITEM. I TRIED REACHING OUT TO THE DEALER THAT SOLD US THE VEHICLE AND STILL NO LUCK! IT EVENTUALLY BROKE ALL THE WAY AND THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR CANNOT BE USED AT ALL AND IS BEING HELD UP BY A BUNGEE CORD!! I CANNOT USE THIS VISOR WHILE DRIVING AND IT IS A HAZARD!! I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ISSUE TO BRING TO RECALL. THERE IS A VIDEO ON YOUTUBE STATING A DEALER HAD TO REPLACE OVER 50 VISORS ON THEIR LOT!! SEARCH IT. MY COMPLAINT ISN'T THE FIRST ONE! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE/HAZARD/CONCERN FOR ALL INVOLVED.

I AM EXPERIENCING FAILURES ON BOTH OF MY SUN VISORS AFTER VERY LIGHT USE. THEY FLOP DOWN AND OBSTRUCT MY VISION WHILE I AM DRIVING CAUSING A SAFETY AND VISIBILITY CONCERN. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. NISSAN CHARGES AN EXORBITANT AMOUNT FOR THIS REPLACEMENT PART WHICH DETERS CONSUMERS FROM FIXING THE VISIBILITY ISSUE AND FURTHER EXACERBATES THE SAFETY CONCERN.

VEHICLE TRANSMISSION IS NOT FUNCTIONING AS IT SHOULD CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STOP ACCELERATING WHILE DRIVING.

PLASTIC RETAINING CLIP INSIDE BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUNVISOR BROKEN CAUSING VISORS TO FALL IN FIELD OF VIEW CAUSING AN OBSTRUCTION OF VIEW OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC.PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKEN INSIDE OF DOOR NOT ALLOWING PASSENGER TO EXIT FROM VEHICLE.

DRIVERS SIDE VISOR AND PASSENGER SIDE VISOR BROKEN AND IMPEDE VIEW WHILE DRIVING. HAZARD AND OBSTRUCTS VIEW WHILE DRIVING. DANGEROUS!

DRIVER SIDE VISOR HAS FALLEN 2-3 INCHES AND PASSENGER SIDE HAS FALLEN 4-5 INCHES. THIS IS A COMPLETE SAFETY HAZZARD FOR VISIBILITY AND ONE COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED SHOULD THEY HAVE AN ACCIDENT AS AN AIRBAG CAN NOT PROTECT THEM FROM FAULTY INTERIOR PARTS OF THIS VEHICLE. WE NOTICED A SLIGHT ISSUE JUST AFTER PURCHASE IN 2017 AND THE ISSUE HAS GOTTEN INCREASINGLY WORSE.

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, TOOK IT TO MY REPAIR SHOP TO RUN A COMPUTER CHECK. IT CAME BACK WITH THE CVT P17F1 TRANSMISSION CODE. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET, THE LIGHT CAME ON YESTERDAY, TAKEN IN TODAY TO GET IT CHECKED OUT. MY REPAIR PLACE SAID THEY SAW WHERE NISSAN HAD A RECALL ON MY TYPE OR PATHFINDER YEARS 2013-2015 BUT WHEN I LOOKED UP MY TRUCK WITH THE VIN, IT SAYS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I'M TRYING TO SEE WHY MY VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION?

SUN VISORS WILL NOT STAY UP IN THE RETRACTED POSITION, OBSTRUCTING WINDSHIELD VISIBILITY. PLASTIC PARTS FOR RETAINING SUN VISORS ARE BROKEN. THIS IS WITH VERY LIGHT USE. BOTH SUN VISORS STARTED MALFUNCTIONING AROUND THE SAME TIME, WHICH POINTS TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT RATHER THAN NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE SUNROOF EXPLODED SEND CHUNKS OF GLASS FLYING. THE EXPLOSION WAS SO LOUD, IT CAUSED ME TO SWERVE WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF ANOTHER CAR HAD BEEN IN THE OTHER LANE. THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED AND HAD NOT BEEN OPENED IN WEEKS.

INSIDE DRIVER DOOR HANDLE BROKEN, NOT ALLOWING ACCESS TO EXIT VEHICLE WITHOUT SOMEONE OPENING THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE OR HAVING THE WINDOW DOWN. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM BUT NISSAN REFUSES TO ADDRESS. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN THE DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED.

DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AROUND 35-40 MPH, HOOD FLIES OPEN AND HITS WINDSHIELD OUT OF NO WHERE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL FAILURES SINCE MARCH OF 2017. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT FAILED TO ILLUMINATE PROPERLY WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AND SHOOK VIOLENTLY ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG OCCUPANT DETECTION INDICATOR FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. FURTHERMORE, THE CONTACT REPORTED THAT THE INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE RELATED SENSOR AND THE ABS WHEEL SENSOR FAILED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT EXPRESSED CONCERN THAT THE POWER WINDOWS INDEPENDENTLY ROLLED UP AND DOWN, THE BACK-UP CAMERA DISABLED AND ROTATED IN THE REVERSE POSITION, AND THE KEY FOB SENSOR INTERMITTENTLY FAILED TO PERFORM AS INTENDED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY POSITION SENSOR, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. BAYTOWN NISSAN (5445 I-10, BAYTOWN, TEXAS 77521, (281) 394-1995) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 33384799. IN ADDITION, THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE OPENED AND SMASHED INTO THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD SHATTERED UPON IMPACT, AND THE ROOF AND FRONT FENDERS WERE SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. SHEEHY NISSAN OF WHITE MARSH (8115 BELAIR ROAD, NOTTINGHAM, MARYLAND 21236, (443) 327-3203) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 33341850. IN ADDITION, THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V033000 (STRUCTURE) IN APRIL OF 2015. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 62,430.

THE THE ARMS THAT OPEN THE REAR LIFTGATE ON MY PATHFINDER RUSTED FROM THE INSIDE OUT. ONE DAY WHEN CLOSING THE DOOR IT SLAMMED SHUT SUDDENLY AND WOULDN'T OPEN ANYMORE WITHOUT SOMEONE MANUALLY LIFTING IT AND HOLDING IT OPEN. WE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT GETTING IT FIXED AND WE WERE TOLD THE PATHFINDERS REAR LIFTGATE HAS BEEN CHANGED COMPLETELY AND IN ORDER TO FIX OURS WE NEED TO REPLACE BOTH SHOCKS AS WELL AS THE OPERATING SYSTEM...... WHICH COMES IN AT 1400 DOLLARS BEFORE LABOR....... OBVIOUSLY THERE IS AN ISSUE THERE IS THEY HAVE COMPLETELY CHANGED HOW THE DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES! ALSO, THEY ISSUED A RECALL ON THE NISSAN ROGUE AROUND THE SAME TIME THAT WE GOT OUR PATHFINDER FOR THAT SAME ISSUE WITH THE TAILGATE..... I'M SURE THE SHOCKS FROM THOSE ROGUES THAT WERE RECALLED MUST BE INCREDIBLY SIMILAR TO THE ONES IN THE NISSAN PATHFINDER.......

THE BRAKES APPEAR TO BE HARD TO APPLY . THEY APPEAR TO BE HARD TO GRASP AND THEY ARE SHAKY WHEN APPLYING.

THE CAR HAS BEEN STALLING ON US 4X. YOU DRIVE THE CAR AND CAR ONLY GOES UP TO 20-30 MPH AND WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED. BROUGHT TO THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER X 3 AND ABOUT TO GO FOR THE 4TH TIME. NISSAN SERVICE CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR IN TIME OF WRITING. IT DID NOT HAVE ANY ENGINE LIGHTS OR WARNINGS. VEHICLE HAS CURRENTLY HAVE 52983 MILES. THE FIRST TWO EVENTS WERE IN A HIGHWAY DRIVING AND THE RECENT TWO ARE IN A LOCAL ROAD. ALL HAPPENED IN DRY AND WARM CONDITIONS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE EXTERIOR BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE KEY REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION, THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V380000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). 94 NISSAN OF SOUTH HOLLAND (16269 VAN DAM RD, SOUTH HOLLAND, IL 60473, (708) 333-2000) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

DRIVER DOOR LATCH HAS BROKEN PREVENTING OPENING THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. THE DOOR MAY ONLY BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A DRIVEWAY AND EXITING WAS PREVENTED UNTIL SOMEONE ELSE OPENED THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED DOWN TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN VERY LIGHT PRESSURE WAS APPLIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FAULKNER NISSAN HARRISBURG (3925 PAXTON ST, HARRISBURG, PA 17111, (717) 558-8220) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO FAILURES AFTER TEST DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 72,000.

THE SUN VISORS HAVE A DEFECT KNOWN BY NISSAN, BUT THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL TO CORRECT IT YET. OURS STARTED BY MAKING A LOUD "CLICKING" NOISE, BEFORE LOSING THE CAPABILITY TO STAY EITHER UP OR DOWN. THEY HANG DOWN. WE HAVE SLAMMED OUR FOREHEADS INTO THE ROCK HARD VISOR EDGES WHEN SIMPLY GETTING INTO THE CAR OR IF THERE IS A QUICK STOP. WE HAVE HAD MEN, WOMEN AND TEENS BUMP HEADS INTO THE VISOR SIMPLY LEANING FORWARD TO CHANGE THE RADIO STATION. IF WE WERE TO BE REAR-ENDED OR IN AN ACCIDENT, IT WOULD COULD EASILY GASH OPEN OUR FOREHEADS OR GIVE A CONCUSSION. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NISSAN WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT. THE SAGGING VISORS DIMINISH VISION AND ARE GOING TO KILL SOMEONE IF IT IS NOT ADDRESSED. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM BY NISSAN, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS ARE AWARE OF IT, BUT NISSAN WILL NOT OFFER ANYTHING OTHER THAN REMOVING THE VISOR OR HAVING THE CONSUMER PAY $160 FOR EACH VISOR TO CORRECT.

ON A BUMPY ROAD, DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FAILED COMPLETELY AND DROPPED DOWN BLOCKING DRIVERS VISION. WE HAVE ALREADY REPLACED SUN VISOR PREVIOUSLY, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US BEFORE.

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER IN MARCH OF 2013. WITHIN 6 MONTHS I NOTICED THERE WAS JERKING WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I TOOK IT BACK TO PRESTON NISSAN IN MARYLAND AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD RECEIVED A BULLETIN AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION AND IT HELPED A LITTLE BUT A FEW MONTHS LATER IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING. I TOOK IT BACK TO PRESTON NISSAN. THERE I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY WOULD REPROGRAM IT AGAIN. IT DID NOT HELP. I COULD NOT AFFORD TO KEEP TAKING IT BACK, BECAUSE THEY CHARGE ME EVERY TIME TO KEEP TELLING ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. MY CAR BEGAN TO NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I WAS MAKING A TURN OR WHEN I WAS ACCELERATING IN TRAFFIC. WE TOOK IT BACK TO PRESTON AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY HAD PUT A DEVICE IN TO MONITOR THE TRANSMISSION AS WELL AS REPROGRAMMED IT AGAIN. MY CAR CONTINUED TO JUDDER AND SHAKE AND FAIL TO ACCELERATE. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED AND NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTIES TO 84,000 MILES. MY CAR IS NOW AT 87,000 AND A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN MICHIGAN IS NOW STATING THAT IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION AND A COOLING FAN. NISSAN CORPORATE OFFICE IS NOW TELLING ME THAT THEY WILL PAY 90% OF THE FAN AND ONLY 50% OF THE TRANSMISSION. I BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR. THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH THIS CAR. IT HAS BEEN ONE THING AFTER THE OTHER. DOOR LOCK MOTOR, VISOR, HOOD RELEASE, TRUNK LATCH, BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ON WHEN

PROBLEM #1: SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE THE UNIT LOSES ACCELERATION WHILE IN MOTION (DRIVING) OR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STATIONARY AT A LIGHT. I PRESS THE PEDAL TO ACCELERATE WITH NO RESPONSE, CERO ACCELERATION. IN ORDER FOR ME TO GET ACCELERATION BACK I HAVE TO PARK AND PUT IN ON PARKING AND TRY THE PEDAL AGAIN. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO NISSAN WHERE THE DIAGNOSE CAN'T BE DETERMINE BECAUSE THE LACK OF WARNING SIGNS ON THE CONTROL PANEL. THE UNIT DID NOT SHOW THE CONDITION AT THAT MOMENT AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE IT. AFTER TAKING THE UNIT OUT OF THE MECHANICAL WORKSHOP, A WARNING SIG WAS REVEALED AS FOLLOWS: P0603: INTERNAL CONTROL MODULE KEEP ALIVE MEMORY (KAM) ERROR. I CALLED THE WORKSHOP AND THEY TOLD ME NO RECALLS WERE CLAIMED FOR THAT REASON (ERROR CODE). PROBLEM #2: THE WARRANTY WAS OVER (36MONTHS) AND BOTH VISORS WENT PERMANENTLY DOWN. THEY WERE REPLACED AT MY OWN COST. PROBLEM #3: THE BRAKES LIGHTS ARE KEEPING ON EVEN WHEN THE UNIT IS OFF. THIS IS MAKING THE BATTERY RUNS OUT!

VEHICLE LOSES ACCELERATION UPON TAKE OFF. IT HAS HAPPENED VARIOUS TIMES BUT BASICALLY IF IM AT A LIGHT OR A COMPLETE STOP AND PRESS THE PEDAL TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR JERKS TO ACCELERATE THEN LOSES ACCELERATION COMPLETELY. IN ORDER FOR ME TO GET ACCELERATION BACK I HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKES. IT ALSO HAPPENS AROUND 40MPH THE ACCELERATOR WONT WORK ANYMORE AND I JAVW TO BRAKE. IVE TAKEN MY CAR TO NISSAN AND THEY CAN NEVER DUPLICATE. ONE TIME I TOOK IT & THEY FOUND ANOTHER PROBLEM SO THEY REPLACED MY TRANSMISSION EVEN THEN ITS STILL HAPPENING.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, I ACCELERATED- MY RPMS WENT UP TO 7 YET MY CAR DIDN'T ACCELERATE AT ALL BUT THE CAR SHUDDERED FOR ABOUT 25 SECONDS. ONE DAY LATER, WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AFTER SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT THE SAME THING HAPPENED. LUCKILY I HAD JUST ENOUGH POWER TO GET THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO CATCH MY BREATH AFTER THAT SCARY SCENE. AFTER TWO MINUTES OF THE CAR STILL ON I TRIED TO DRIVE BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE AND IT SHUDDERED AGAIN. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND HAD THE SAME RESULTS. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY FOUND THAT A NEW TRANSMISSION WOULD BE NECESSARY.

65 MPH, VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE BUT RPMS WENT UP TO 7000 VEHICLE SHUDDERED FOR 25 SECONDS. NEXT DAY WHILE MAKIG A LEFT TURN AT 10 MPH THRU AN INTERSECTION FROM A STOP LIGHT, SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED. GOT TO SIDE OF ROAD, CAR REFUSED TO GO FORWARD. WORKS IN REVERSE BUT NOT FORWARD. TOWED TO SHOP WHERE NEW TRANSMISSION WAS FOUND TO BE THE ONLY FIX. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 112K MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERED AND SLIPPED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (CHAPMAN NISSAN, 6723 ESSINGTON AVE, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19153, 215-492-1200) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. 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 AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE REPAIRS WOULD BE AT HIS EXPENSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

INTERIOR DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE FAILED TO OPEN. HAD IT REPAIRED IN 2015. INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE PASSENGER SIDE FAILED TO OPEN STARTING.8/15/2018. IN ORDER TO GET OUT OF VEHICLE YOU MUST ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW. HUGE SAFETY CONCERN.

SUN VISORS ON DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT STAY UP OR IN POSITION. THEY HANG DOWN CREATING A HAZARD. THEY BLOCK VISIBILITY. HAVE TO HOLD THEM IN PLACE WITH OTHER HAND WHEN TRYING TO TURN IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO SEE.

DRIVER SUN VISOR WOULD MAKE A CLICKING SOUND. NOW THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP AND IT DISTURBS MY VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING.

LAST MONTH, I NOTICED THAT WHEN I WAS AT A FULL STOP, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ALWAYS ACCELERATE WHEN I TOUCHED THE GAS PEDAL. I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN THIS HAPPENED, MY BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD REMAIN ON AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT WORK. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE SPAN OF TWO WEEKS. AFTER CHECKING OUT THE PROBLEM ONLINE, I BECAME AWARE THAT ON MAY 31, 2016, 79,853 2013-2014 PATHFINDERS WERE RECALLED FOR DEFECTIVE BREAK LIGHT SWITCHES (CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V380000). AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE TO MY DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT MY ISSUE STEMMED FROM A DEFECTIVE BREAK LIGHT SWITCH AND STOP LAMP RELAY - THE EXACT SAME REASON 79,853 PATHFINDERS WERE RECALLED IN 2016 (PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PDF COPY OF RECEIPT). YET MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL. WHEN I POINTED THIS OUT TO MY DEALER I WAS TOLD THAT IT MIGHT BE BECAUSE MY VEHICLE CAME OFF A DIFFERENT ASSEMBLY LINE. ALTHOUGH I AM NO EXPERT, THIS MAKES LITTLE SENSE, SINCE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS WOULD BE THE SAME NO MATTER WHERE THE VEHICLES WERE ASSEMBLED. THEREFORE I AM WRITING TO INFORM YOU THAT MORE VEHICLES SHOULD PROBABLY BE INCLUDED IN THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH RECALL; PARTICULARLY SINCE THIS IS A SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISSUE.

OUR PATHFINDER HAS BEEN RECALLED TWICE FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MALFUNCTIONS. DESPITE HAVING BEEN "REPAIRED" ON BOTH OCCASIONS, THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. NISSAN IS NOW INFORMING US THAT THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE, YET THEY MAINTAIN THAT THIS ISSUE IS UNRELATED TO THE PRIOR RECALLS AND AS SUCH, HAVE REFUSED TO COVER THE COST OF REPAIR. IN ADDITION, THE VISORS ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES HAVE BROKEN AND ARE SAGGING, IMPAIRING VISION DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. IN RESEARCHING SOLUTIONS, WE HAVE DISCOVERED THAT BOTH ISSUES ARE COMMON COMPLAINTS FOR DRIVERS OF OUR SPECIFIC MODEL PATHFINDER, YET NISSAN SEEMS TO BE DOING NOTHING TO FIX THESE RECURRENT DEFECTS.

WHILE DRIVING SUDDENLY THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FAIL TO STAY UP WHILE COVERING MY VISIBILITY THAT I ALMOST HIT A CAR IN FRONT OF ME ,UNFORTUNATELY I REACTED QUICKLY SLAMMING THE BRAKES ,THIS HAPPENED RIGHT AROUND IN MAY AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE .BUT THEN AFTER ONE MONTH THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR FAIL TOO WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ,BEING A PAIN ON THE BUT ,I HAD TO TAKE BOTH OUT . HOPING SOME ONE DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT .BEFORE SOMETHING BAD COULD HAPPEN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISORS FELL DOWN AND OBSTRUCTED THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER (HERB GORDON NISSAN, 3131 AUTOMOBILE BLVD, SILVER SPRING, MD) WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

DRIVER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE HARDWARE FAILED - DISCONNECTING THE DOOR HANDLE AND THE DOOR CABLE AND ENTRAPPING THE OCCUPANT. DOOR CAN ONLY BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE. EFFECTIVELY THIS MEANS THAT THE CAR MUST MAINTAIN ELECTRICAL POWER SUFFICIENT TO ROLLS DOWN THE WINDOW IN ORDER TO REACH THROUGH AND ACCESS A SERVICEABLE DOOR HANDLE. I HAVE RAISED THE ISSUE TO NISSAN ON 3 OCCASIONS BUT HAVE NOT BEEN TAKEN SERIOUSLY. PERHAPS YOUR WILL HAVE MORE SUCCESS - GODSPEED!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE BY USING THE REMOTE START FEATURE, THE VEHICLE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED WHILE IDLING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED DURING EXTREME HEAT. DURING THE FAILURE, A CHILD OCCUPANT WAS SECURED IN THE VEHICLE AND THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CONTACTED AND WAS ABLE TO MANUALLY WEDGE THE DOOR OPEN. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT 60 SECONDS AFTER THE REMOTE START WAS INITIATED, THE VEHICLE LOCKED ITSELF AS A SECURITY MEASURE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,401.

THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISORS BROKE AND WON'T STAY IN PLACE AND ARE A HAZARD WHILE DRIVING

THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER SEPARATED FROM THE MUFFLER. ALSO THE RIGHT SIDE SUN VISOR IS MALFUNCTIONING..

DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE AND BACK PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE BOTH BROKE AND THE BACK DOOR IS USED VERY LITTLE POOR DESIGN AND SAFETY ISSUE IF NEEDING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION

MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REMAINS OFF EVEN WHEN A PASSENGER IS PRESENT. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THE 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT BECAUSE THERE IS NO INFORMATION IN THE SYSTEM FOR MY VIN, THEY WERE RELUCTANT TO HELP. BECAUSE MY WARRANTY IS EXPIRED, ITS NOT COVERED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO OVERHEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND LATER TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR FAN MOTOR ASSEMBLY FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,212.

THE DRIVER SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP ANY MORE. IT JUST DANGLES. THIS IS UNSAFE BECAUSE IT BLOCKS THE DRIVERS VISION. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. THIS STARTED PROGRESSING BACK IN MARCH 2018 AND NOW IT JUST DANGLES.

WE RECENTLY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT FROM PARK. THE OVERRIDE FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT FUNCTION. DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A SOLENOID OR MECHANICAL ISSUE. DEALERSHIP SAYS REPLACE MECHANISM AND SEE IF THIS $1000 FIX CORRECTS SITUATION

I BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN APRIL OF 2017, WITH 41,000 MILES. I DID NOT EVEN HAVE THE VEHICLE A YEAR BEFORE I NOTICED THAT WHEN I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT STARTS TO STALL AT TIMES, IT DOES NOT PICK UP SPEED AT ALL I HAVE TO PUSH THE ACCELERATOR TWO OR THREE TIMES BEFORE IT PICKS UP, AND THIS HAPPENS AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND EVEN WHEN I'M ON THE INTERSTATE. I AM REALLY FEARING FOR MY LIFE, BECAUSE THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE I HAVE RIGHT NOW TO DRIVE. WHEN I GO TO PARK THE VEHICLE, AND SHUT IT OFF THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON, AND THEY DON'T GO OFF. I HAVE TO GET BACK IN THE VEHICLE MOVE THE VEHICLE AND THEN SHUT IT OFF. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO DO THIS THREE OR FOUR TIMES BEFORE THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OFF. I REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, WHO HAVE TOLD ME THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND SINCE IT HAPPENS PERIODICALLY THROUGH THE DAY I HAVE TO KEEP MAKING APPOINTMENTS, SO THEY CAN TRY TO FIND THE PROBLEM. VERY FRUSTRATING.
