2013 Nissan Pathfinder complaints

SUN VISOR KEEPS FALLING INTO LINE OF VISION WHILE DRIVING CAUSING A DANGER HAZARD. ALSO, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAD SHORT-CIRCUIT WIRES.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISORS DO NOT STAY UP IN THE FULLY RETRACTED POSITION. THE DRIVER'S SIDE ESPECIALLY WILL HANG SO LOW SO AS TO OBSTRUCT VISIBILITY. YOU CAN PUSH THE VISORS UP BUT THEY IMMEDIATELY SAG AFTER RELEASING THE VISOR. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM AS THIS OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. IN FACT. I HAVE HAD TO PLACE VELCRO FASTENERS TO KEEP THE VISORS UP SO AS NOT TO CAUSE AN OBSTRUCTION TO VISIBILITY.

VEHICLE WILL NOT RESPOND WHEN ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED OCCASIONALLY. THIS POSES GREAT SAFETY ISSUES. VEHICLES SHAKES TREMENDOUSLY WHEN ACCELERATING UP A HILL UNDER 30 MILE PER HOUR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE CVT WAS REPLACED ON TWO PREVIOUS OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

DEFECTIVE INTERIOR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE. THE INSIDE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE ON MY 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER BROKE WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR AND I AM UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. THE CAR WAS PARKED WITH THE IGNITION TURNED OFF WHEN THE HANDLE FAILED. I REMOVED THE DOOR COVER AND INSPECTED THE HANDLE ASSEBLY TO FIND A SMALL PIECE OF PLASTIC HAD BROKEN OFF. THE BROKEN PIECE OF PLASTIC WAS DESIGNED TO HOLD THE BALL-END OF THE DOOR LATCH CABLE IN PLACE. FROM MY OWN INTERNET SEARCH INVESTIGATIONS, IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND IT IS COMMON ON DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLES GIVEN THAT IS THE HANDLE USED MOST FREQUENTLY. THE OTHER DOOR HANDLES ARE MANUFACTURED THE SAME WAY SO IT IS LIKELY THAT ALL WILL FAIL DEPENDING ON FREQUENCY OF USE. IN MY OPINION, THIS DEFECT IS RELATED TO POOR DESIGN AND CHEAP MATERIALS. IF THE HANDLE ASSEMBLY OR THE PART OF THE ASSEMBLY THAT HOLDS THE LATCH CABLE IN PLACE WERE MADE OF METAL OR A STRONGER PLASTIC, THERE WOULD BE NO DEFECT. THEREFORE I BELIEVE THIS DEFECT IS THE MANUFACTURERS RESPONSIBILITY AND SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE LIST OF RECALLS THAT EFFECT THIS VEHICLE. THE SAME DOOR HANDLE, PART NUMBER 80671-3TA0A IS THE SAME PART USED IN SEVERAL OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES. WHEN I SEARCHED FOR A REPLACEMENT PART THROUGH A LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP'S PARTS DEPARTMENT, THE PART HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED BY PART NUMBER 80671-3TA0D SO IT SEEMS LIKE NISSAN MAY BE AWARE OF THE DEFECT. THIS DEFECT IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, LET ALONE A GREAT INCONVENI

MY AIR BAG LIGHT FOR PASSENGER 2 AND THE RED FLASHING AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. NO MATTER IF A PERSON IS IN OR OUT THE SEAT. EVEN A 125 POUND PERSON.

TRANSMISSION HAD A RECALL THEY CHANGE IT REPLACE IT THEN THE CAR STARTED MAKING WEIRD NOISES THEY SAID IT WAS THE WHEEL BEARINGS & THE DEFERENTIAL THAT THE DEALERSHIP MECHANIC BROKE OR LEFT LOOSE

WHILE OPENING THE DRIVERS DOOR THE INSIDE HANDLE WOULD NOT WORK. HAD TO OPEN THE WINDOW AND OPEN THE DOOR USING THE EXTERNAL HANDLE.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE FAILED. UPON REGULAR USE (I.E., NO PULLING, TWISTING, EXCESSIVE FORCE) IT FAILED TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE ONLY WAY TO EXIT THE DRIVER DOOR IS TO PUT THE WINDOW DOWN AND PULL THE EXTERIOR HANDLE. THE INTERIOR HANDLE MOVES BUT DOES NOT ENGAGE

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT STALLS WHEN PRESSING THE GAS TO ACCELERATE. WHEN AT A STOP OR TURNING WHEN SWITCHING FROM BRAKING TO ACCELERATING YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE CAR TO ACCELERATE. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WILL NOT ASSIST AND THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT REPLICATE. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO

TRANSMISSION SHUDDER AT LOWER SPEEDS WHEN ACCELERATING INTO TRAFFIC. FIRST TRANSMISSION REPLACED BY NISSAN AT ~5400 MILES. THE SECOND EVENT: TRANSMISSION SHUDDER AT LOW SPEEDS, ACCELERATING IN CITY (ATLANTA) TRAFFIC. NOTICEABLE SHUDDER ON DECELERATION AS WELL. THE SECOND TRANSMISSION IS GOING IN 03/31/17 AT ~84000 MILES.

THE SUN VISORS ARE DEFECTIVE AND BREAK VERY EASILY. THEY WON'T STAY UP AND YOU HEAR A LOUD CLICKING AFTER A PART BREAKS IN THE VISOR. YOU CAN GOOGLE/YOUTUBE SUN VISOR ISSUES FOR PATHFINDER AND THERE IS A TON OF REPORTS ON THIS. NISSAN IS CHARGING FOLKS ~$190 PER VISOR TO REPAIR THIS WHEN IT IS A DEFECT.

HAPPENED A FEW TIMES (ONE TOO MANY) ON THE ROAD, MY CAR STALLS (GAS PEDAL DOES NOT WORK). ALSO, BACK LIGHTS ARE LIT AFTER CAR IS SHUT DOWN. HAD TO TURN ENGINE ON AND OFF TILL IT SHUTS OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO RESPOND WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000. UPDATED 04/28/17*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE ISSUE OF THE DELAY IN ACCELERATION WAS RELATED TO THE EXISTING BRAKE LIGHT RELAY MODULATOR RECALL. THE CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED THAT THERE IS NO INDICATOR TO WARN THE DRIVEROF ACCELERATING ACROSS AN UNCONTROLLED INTERSECTION. UPDATED 7/31/2017*JS

WAS SMOKING WHITE AND SHAKING NOW IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. BURNED OIL FAST

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR WAS INTERFERED WITH BY A KID'S TOY. THE AIR BAG WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED A FEW MONTHS PRIOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. UPDATED 05/05/17*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE DISCONNECTION WAS A DESIGN AND SAFETY DEFECT. THE AIRBAG SHOULD BE THAT EASILY DISCONNECTED. UPDATED 10/12/2017*JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, IT FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS APPLIED TO PREVENT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT WAS NOT NOTIFIED, BUT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V244000 (STEERING, SUSPENSION). THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE BRAKE FAILURE AND INDICATED THAT EXTENSIVE REPAIRS WERE REQUIRED. THE CONTACT WAS OFFERED A BUY BACK VERSUS A REPAIR SOLUTION. THE DEALER REQUIRED THAT THE CONTACT PICK UP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED FOR THE BRAKE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

"PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT ON WHEN A PERSON WEIGHING 100LBS OR MORE ON THE SEAT. TOOK IT IN TO NISSAN AND CLAIM THAT MAYBE THE PERSON WAS NOT SITTING CORRECTLY OR NEEDED TO SHIFT THEIR HIPS IN SEAT. ALSO FIXED A SENSOR OR PART ON THE UNDERSIDE OF SEAT. CORRECTED PROBLEM FOR A LITTLE WHILE, NOW THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING AND THE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD FOR "AIRBAG WARNING" IS FLASHING. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL TIMES, WHEN VEHICLE IN MOTION AND STOPPED AND PARKED, ETC.

THE SUN VISORS WHILE DRIVING DO NOT SUPPORT THEMSELVES AND BREAK EASILY MOST LIKELY BECAUSE OF CHEAP PLASTIC. WHILE DRIVING THEY MAY FOLD DOWN AND OBSTRUCT MY VIEW OF THE ROAD WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AT ANY GIVEN SPEED. I HAVE HAD TO TIE MY SUN VISORS SO THEY DO NOT RANDOMLY COME DOWN. THIS IS ALSO A PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE IS NOW NO PROTECTION FROM SUN LIGHT AND IT IS HARD TO SEE THE ROAD WHEN SUNLIGHT IS PRESENT.

WHILE DRIVING THE RPM AND SPEED OF THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO PAST 1500 THUS CAUSING VERY SLOW ACCELERATION. ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO TURN INTO ANY STREET WHERE YOU NEED TO ACCELERATE FASTER. TRYING TO DE PRESS AND RE PRESS THE GADS PEDAL DOES NOTHING. OUR NISSAN DEALERSHIP HAS SAID THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY IS TO BLAME.

HI,I RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL 16V-244 SO WHEN I WENT TO NIISSAN ANCIRA SAN ANTONIO TEXAS WITH SAFETY RECALL NOTICE SO THEY SAID WE WILL CCALL YOU BACK BUT 45DAYS STILL NO CONTACT OR CALL FROM DEALER,ALSO I DEFINE SOME DETALS,WHEN I BOUGHT NISSAN PATHFINDER 2013 IN JANUARY 2016 SO SELLER(LEIF JOHNSON SUPERSTORE)TO ME DEFECTED VEHICLE &IN APRIL 2016 VEHICLE SUDDENLY DEAD

I WAS GIVEN A NEW TRANSMISSION WHEN PURCHASED BECAUSE IT HAD JERKY GEAR CHANGES. INSIDE DOOR HANDLES ARE BREAKING, TRAPPING PASSENGER IN CAR.

THE CVT TRANSMISSION SHAKES, SHUDDERS, AND JERKS WHILE ACCELERATING. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW. WHENEVER I ASK ABOUT IT AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, I AM TOLD THAT THE SHAKING IS NORMAL AND A RESULT OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION. THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN SERVICED OR FIXED. THIS HAS CAUSED MANY NEAR MISSES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND ON THE FREEWAY. THIS IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT INCREASES THE RISK OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

SUN ROOF EXPLODED AND GLASS SHATTERED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V344000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE WAS FRACTURED. THE CONTACT HAD TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A PLASTIC RING INSIDE THE DOOR FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIRS WERE NOT COMPLETED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS A FLIPPING NOISE UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V142000 (POWER TRAIN), BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS.

FUEL GAUGE IS INACCURATE. FUEL TANK CAPACITY IS APPROXIMATELY 19 GALLONS. GAUGE ABRUPTLY CHANGES. SHOWS CLOSE TO FULL UNTIL 6 GALLONS IN TANK IS LEFT. THEN SHOWS HALF FULL. WHEN SHOWS ONE QUARTER FULL TANK ONLY HAS 2 GALLONS LEFT IN TANK. THIS OCCURS WHETHER DRIVING OR STATIONARY, LEVEL OR INCLINE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE QUICKLY RUNS LOW ON FUEL AND DOES NOT ALLOW FOR PROPER REFUELING PLANNING. *TR

BOTH WINDOW VISORS HAVE BROKEN AND DANGLE IN FRONT OF ME WHEN I'M DRIVING, CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD AS THEY HANG IN THE WAY OF MY FRONT WINDSHIELD AND OBSTRUCT MY VISION. I HAVE ALSO HIT MY HEAD SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THESE DANGLING VISORS WHILE TRYING TO LOOK BOTH WAYS AT A CROSS SECTION, ETC. AFTER SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON DEFECT IN THE PATHFINDER FOR YEARS 2013 - 2015 AND THE PART ATTACHING THE VISOR TO THE ROOF WAS CHEAPLY MADE. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS BUT THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE VISORS NOR WILL THEY HELP CONTRIBUTE TO FIXING THE PROBLEM. COST TO FIX TWO VISORS IS $451 PER MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP. *TR

CVT IS FAILING. VEHICLE SHUDDERS AND SHAKES AT LOW SPEEDS AND AT SPEEDS ABOVE 60MPH. NISSAN DEALERSHIP KNEW IMMEDIATELY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS.

DEALER HAS FAILED TO REPAIR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AFTER 3.5 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. THE LATEST RECALL NOTICE WHEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALER AGAIN DID NOT RESULT IN A REPAIR ONLY MORE DELAY AS THEY CLAIMED THE PART NOW HAD TO BE ORDERED. HOWEVER THE NOTICE INDICATED PARTS WERE NOW AVAILABLE

NHTSA RECALL 16V244 I KEEP RECEIVING NOTICES ABOUT THE RECALL, BUT MY DEALERSHIP (MOSSY NISSAN, 14100 POWAY ROAD, POWAY, CA.) STILL DOESN'T HAVE PART NEEDED TO DO THE JOB. PLEASE EXPEDITE PART AND HELP ME GET THIS JOB COMPLETED!!!!!!

NISSAN-USA HAS KNOWN ABOUT A CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICHLE. WE PURCHASED IT USED IN FEBRUARY 2016. LECKNER HAD THE VEHICLE IN STOCK WHEN THE ANNOUNCEMENT WAS MADE AND DID NOTHING TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. THEY SOLD US THE VEHICLE WITHOUT DISCLOSING THE INFORMATION. NISSAN NOW DOES NOT WANT TO MAKE ANY REPAIRS, THOUGH THE CAR ID DEEMED DANGEROUS AS THE ENGINE MAKES SUDDEN JERKING AND SHUDDERING WHEN ACCELERATIONS. THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST TWO CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS WHERE NISSAN HAS AGREED TO FIX THE ISSUE OR CHANGE A NEW ENGINE. WHEN CALLING AND DEALING WITH LECKNER AND NISSAN THEY KEEP SAYING THE ISSUE IS CLOSED AND WON'T DO ANYTHING.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V380000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING) AND 16V244000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIRS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

BOTH VISORS ARE DROOPING. I DON'T MESS WITH THE VISORS AND IT IS A PAIN IN THE BUTT WHEN DRIVING AND HAVE THE VISORS COMING DOWN IN FRONT OF MY EYES. I AM BEGINNING TO THINK THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

THE REAR LIFT GATE HAS STOPPED FUNCTIONING FOR THE SECOND TIME SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE CAR ON 12/21/2012. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE MOTOR AGAIN IN 4 YEARS AND TO BE TOLD BY NISSAN THE MOTOR WILL NOT BE COVERED UNLESS THE STRUTS ARE ALSO TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THEIR OWN FAULTINESS. NOT ONLY IS THIS A COSTLY AND INCONVENIENT REPAIR, BUT THE MOTORS ARE ON BACK ORDER ACCORDING TO NISSAN PARTS. THERE IS NO ESTIMATE OF A DELIVERY DATE. THE DOOR WON'T LATCH IF THE MOTOR ISN'T FUNCTIONING. SO, AS A RESULT, I AM DRIVING AROUND WITH A REAR LIFT GATE THAT CAN'T BE MANUALLY CLOSED DUE TO A POOR DESIGN BY NISSAN. SINCE THE LIFT GATE WON'T LATCH MANUALLY THE LIFT GATE HAS HAD TO BE TIED DOWN INTERNALLY TO PREVENT THE LIFT GATE FROM FLYING OPEN WHILE DRIVING. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE SINCE THE DOOR WON'T LATCH AND THIS MAKES THE HAZARD LIGHTS START FLASHING EXTERNALLY AND INTERNALLY IN ADDITION TO WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON CONTINUOUSLY IN THE MESSAGE CENTER. THERE ARE LOUD BEEPS THE ENTIRE CAR RIDE WHICH ARE INCREDIBLY ANNOYING. CARS DRIVING BEHIND ME ARE NOT SURE IF I AM IN DISTRESS OR HAVING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY SINCE THE LIGHTS START FLASHING AT WILL. I AM CONCERNED I WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT! IT HAS BEEN ONE WEEK AND NO RESOLUTION IN SIGHT. I HAVE TO PAY TO GET A NEW MOTOR TO CLOSE MY TAILGATE EVEN IF I WISH TO USE THE MANUAL CLOSE METHOD. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! *TR

I TAKE MY CAR TO STEVEN CREEK NISSAN DEALER LOCATED IN SANTA CLARA CALIFORNIA TO FIX THE BRAKE SWITCH RECALL NTB16-062 ON 10/1/2016. I STARTED HAVE HAVING PROBLEM WITH MY GEAR SHIFT LOCK ISSUE ON 10/18/2016. I CANNOT SHIFT MY GEAR UNLESS I USE A SCREW DRIVE. I CANNOT MOVE MY GEAR FROM PARK POSITION UNLESS I USE A SCREW DRIVER. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER ON 10/29 AND THEY FOUND THAT BRAKE LAMP STOP SWITCH (WHICH THEY INSPECTED ON 10/1) IS OUT OF SPEC AND ADJUSTED BACK INTO SPEC AND RELEASE MY CAR. FOR THAT ADJUSTMENT THEY CHARGE ME $160 FOR IT WHICH I THINK IS UNFAIR BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONE WHO TOUCH IT ON 10/1. BEFORE THEY TOUCH IT I NEVER HAVE THIS PROBLEM. ON 10/30/2016 THE PROBLEM REAPPEARED I STILL CANNOT SHIFT THE GEAR WITHOUT A SCREW DRIVER. CAR TRANSMISSION IS IN SHIFT LOCK. *TR

FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE ON INTERIOR BROKE. WILL NOT ALLOW THE DOOR TO OPEN FROM INSIDE. MUST ROLL WINDOW DOWN TO REACH EXTERIOR HANDLE TO OPEN DOOR. THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON COMPLAINT ON MANY 13 NISSAN PATHFINDERS. THIS IS NOT A CHEAP FIX AND ONE THAT MAY BE REQUIRED MANY TIMES THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. COULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN IF OCCUPANT MUST EXIT THE VEHICLE QUICKLY. THIS HAPPENED WHILE SITTING IN A PARKING SPOT AND WAS STATIONARY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE WITH A NORMAL SIZED ADULT PERSON IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIR BAG OFF SENSOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER REPLACED A SEAT SENSOR, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60.

TAKATA RECALL-TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED 1500 MILES AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED-STARTED JERKING AT LOW SPEEDS AND FINALLY JUST WOULDNT MOVE AFTER IT WAS PARKED.

CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2013. IN LATE 2014 WITH LESS THAN $40K, CAR BEGAN "SHUDDERING". MOSTLY AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHEN ACCELERATING. DEALER COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE. DRIVING BACK FROM VACATION IN LATE 2014, ON THE INTERSTATE, THE CAR LOST POWER AND WE LIMPED OFF THE EXIT AFTER WHICH THE CAR WAS UNDRIVEABLE. NISSAN INDICATED IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE CVT AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. LOOKING BACK AT THE SITUATION ON THE HIGHWAY, GIVEN THE LOSS OF POWER, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A LETHAL SITUATION. FAST FORWARD TO OCT 2016 AND AT 88K, THE SAME ISSUE IS RE-OCCURRING AND THE DEALER INDICATED TODAY, TRANSMISSION WILL (AGAIN) NEED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH BROKE AND THE DOOR WON'T OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. YOU HAVE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW AND OPEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE DOOR CAN ONLY BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS FROM NISSAN. THIS IS A HAZARD AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE DEATH IF SOMEONE CAN'T GET OUT OF THEIR CAR IN AN ACCIDENT OR OTHER EMERGENCY.

MY PASSENGER AIRBAG TURNS OFF EVEN WHEN A FULL SIZE ADULT OF THE PROPER WEIGHT IS IN THE FRONT SEAT. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS ON JUNE 1ST 2016. I HAVE CONTINUED TO TRY TO SCHEDULE SERVICE FOR THIS RECALL, HOWEVER, THE DEALER HAS NOTIFIED ME THAT NISSAN HAS STILL NOT MADE THE PART AVAILABLE TO THEM TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

SUN VISOR. THE PLASTIC PIECES THAT GIVE THE VISOR THE ABILITY TO BE MOVED AND HOLD THE VISOR IN THE DESIRED POSITION ARE KNOWN TO FAIL WITH FREQUENCY. THE RESULT IS A VISOR THAT FLOPS AROUND ON THE ROD MOUNT AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION SNUG TO THE HEADLINER. IT WILL NOT STAY IN ANY POSITION ACCEPT HANGING DOWN DUE TO GRAVITY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT OBSTRUCTS THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. THIS HAPPENS TO BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES AND OBSTRUCTS VISION WHEN EITHER SIDE HAS FAILED.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WOULD ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WHILE DRIVING ON SEPTEMBER 219TH, 2016, THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT STARTED FLASHING FOR UNDER A MINUTE, AND THEN THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD CLUSTER PANEL WENT OUT. THE TACHOMETER, SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, DRIVER SAFETY INFORMATION, LIGHTING AND BREAKS , GEAR MODE, SEAT BELT INDICATOR, ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ALL WENT BLANK AS THE CAR WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN A STREET APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES AN HOUR. I PULLED THE CAR OFF OF THE ROAD TO A SAFE PLACE. SHUT IT DOWN, AND STARTED IT AGAIN NORMALLY. THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS YET TO COME BACK ON. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE SUV HOME, AND CALLED SOME LOCAL DEALERSHIPS TO GET IT IN TO SERVICE. WHILE WAITING FOR A CALL BACK, I WAS ABLE TO RESEARCH, AND FOUND THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNDER TWO RECALLS, 16V-244 FOR OCCS SYSTEM, AND 16V-380 FOR STOP LAMP SWITCH.. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO ROYAL NISSAN IN BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA (225) 924-0400 ON THE 20TH OF SEPTEMBER, 2016. I INFORMED THEM OF THE RECALLS, AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD LOOK INTO THE MATER. ON THE SEPTEMBER 21TH, SERVICE ADVISOR (KENNEY) CALLED ME AND SAID THAT THEY DID NOT YET KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT THE CAR WAS THREE YEARS OLD, AND OUT OF WARRANTY AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS MYSELF BECAUSE THEY WERE PROBABLY NOT RELATED TO THE RECALLS. THAT IS WHERE IT STANDS.AS OF SEPTEMBER 21ST, 2016. I DO NOT THINK THAT I AM BEING UNREASONABLE WHEN I THINK THAT THERE IS A CONNECTION TO THE FLASHING INDICATOR LIGHTS, AND THE DASHBOARD GOING OUT AT THE SAME TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS) AND 16V380000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STALLED. THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO MOVE OUT OF PARK AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE CONTACT WAITED FIVE MINUTES AND WAS ABLE TO RESUME DRIVING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKES AND BATTERY FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE REAR DOOR FAILED TO OPEN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

A PART THAT ALLOWS THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR TO ROTATE UP AND DOWN IS BROKEN. WHEN RETURNED TO ITS HOLDING POSITION AND RELEASED IT FALLS BACK DOWN BLOCKING THE DRIVING VIEW. IN MY HUMBLE OPINION IT WAS POORLY MANUFACTURED BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS JUST OVER THREE YEARS OLD AND FOR A PART THAT REQUIRE MULTIPLE USE AND PRESENT A DRIVING SAFETY HAZARD IF NOT WORKING PROPERLY DUE TO DEFECTIVE PARTS, SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY.
