2014 Nissan Pathfinder complaints

I HAVE EXPERIENCED A SHUDDERING ON A BRAND NEW 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER, WHICH STARTED WITH LESS THAN 100 MILES ON IT. AT 3200 MILES IT HAPPENED 5 OR 6 TIMES. TODAY I LEARNED IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION, BUT WHEN I ASK IF THE NEW TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN UPGRADED OR IF THEY HAVE FOUND A FIX I AM TOLD "IT IS A NEW TRANSMISSION COMING FROM NISSAN" "WE ARE NOT TOLD OF THE UPGRADES, THEY JUST SEND US THE NEW TRANSMISSION". AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RESOLUTION TO THE WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION. I AM CONCERNED I AM GETTING A NEW TRANSMISSION WITH AN OLD PROBLEM AND NO ONE CAN/WILL TELL ME OTHERWISE. IS MY CAR GOING TO BE SAFE? WHERE CAN I FIND OUT IF THIS NEW TRANSMISSION DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM MY 2014 TRANSMISSION HAD? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AND HESITATED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT STAYED ON WITH A PASSENGER WEIGHTING 195# OCCUPYING PASSENGER SEAT, LIGHT STAYED ON FOR APPROX 5 MINUTES. THIS IS AT LEAST THE FOURTH TIME LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR DIFFERENT LENGTHS OF TIME UP TO AROUND 20 MINUTES AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS. HAVE HAD TO NISSAN DEALER ON 4 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND BEEN TOLD NO PROBLEM FOUND. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT FLICKERED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V138000 (AIR BAGS), BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER ON MORE THAN THREE OCCASIONS WHERE A CODE WAS RESET. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG NOT WORKING. *TR

BOUGHT 2014 PATHFINDER IN 12/2013. NOTICED TRANSMISSION VIBRATION AND SHUDDER DURING LONG TRIP AND UPON RETURN COMPLAINED TO DEALER. I HAD NOT HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM IN OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES SO WAS UNAWARE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER WHO DID TEST DRIVE, BUT SAID COULD NOT DUPLICATE, BUT SAID PROBLEM WAS WITH CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) TORQUE CONVERTER. OFFERED NO REMEDY. I DO NOT FEEL SECURE IN TRAFFIC AS DO NOT KNOW IF TRANSMISSION IS DAMAGED BY SHUDDERING. NISSAN DID A CVT REPROGRAM TO IMPROVE TRANSMISSION DIAGNOSTIC AND SERVICE, BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THIS DOES TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE OF TRANSMISSION. NISSAN WILL TELL ME NOTHING. I AM REQUESTING A CVT RECALL BY NHTSA TO FACILITATE NECESSARY REPAIRS AS IT I REGARD THE UNIT A SAFETY HAZARD.

WE ARE GRANDPARENTS TO 16 GRANDCHILDREN. WE BOUGHT OUR 2014 PATHFINDER FEBRUARY 21, 2015 SO WE WOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE SOME OF GRANDCHILDREN ON TRIPS WITH US. ON APRIL 4TH, 2015 WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH 5 OF OUR GRANDCHILDREN THE ENGINE STOPPED WITH NO WARNING. WE ALMOST GOT HIT 6 DIFFERENT TIMES WHILE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED AND WHAT TO DO. THE FEAR THAT WE FELT FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR GRANDCHILDREN IS DESCRIBABLE. SOMETHING NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO EXPERIENCE ESPECIALLY DRIVING A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. THE ENGINE ENDED UP SHUTTING OFF 2 MORE TIMES THAT SAME DAY. WE TOOK THE PATHFINDER INTO THE DEALERSHIP ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG.... APRIL 11TH, 2015 WHILE DRIVING OUR GRANDCHILDREN OUT OF TOWN TO A BASEBALL GAME THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AGAIN...AT THIS POINT WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, WHICH IS SAD BECAUSE IT IS BRAND NEW AND WE PAID GOOD MONEY FOR IT. IT IS BACK IN THE SHOP AS OF TODAY, APRIL 16TH, WITH NO ANSWERS. *TR

MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT IS LITE WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN SEAT SAYING THE AIRBAG WILL NOT ACTIVATE...THIS STILL IS HAPPENING EVEN AFTER TAKING IT TO DEALER FOR RECALL...I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM WITH THIS CONCERN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE COMPUTER SAYS IT DIDN'T HAPPEN...I HAVE PICTURES ..IT DOES IT ON OCCASION...SHOULD I BE CONCERNED WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON AND PASSENGER IS IN SEAT? ALSO, VERY BAD BLIND SPOT ON DRIVER SIDE /SIDE VIEW MIRROR AND COLUMN ALMOST HIT SEVERAL PEOPLE...THERE SHOULD BE A BLIND SPOT WARNING ....I SHARED CONCERNS WITH DEALER...ONE OF THE TECHS HAS A 2013 AND HAS THE SAME PROBLEM...SO WHY WASN'T IT REPORTED...AND CORRECTED...THEY DID IN THE ROGUE. *TR

TRANSMISSION INTERMITTENTLY SHUDDERS AT 10-20 MPH CAUSING POOR DRIVABILITY AND POTENTIAL LOSS OF CONTROL. TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPROGRAMMED SEVERAL TIMES AND REPLACED WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION AT 19,413 MILES. SHUDDERING HAS STARTED AGAIN, THE DEALER APPLIED THE LATEST RECALL (PC357) BUT NO REAL CHANGE IN OPERATION. I STARTED A CASE WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS (18336725) BUT THE CONTACT HAS BEEN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ACTUALLY TALK WITH. NISSAN LEFT ONE VOICE MAIL WHILE I HAVE LEFT 6 VOICE MAILS OVER 2 DAYS WITH NO CALL BACKS. *TR

PASSENGERS AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON SHOWING AIR BAG OFF EVEN THOU PASSANGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. LIGHT HAS CAME ON AT LEAST TWICE SINCE THEN WHILE PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH A 2013 PATHFINDER WHICH WAS REPLACED WITH THE 2014. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH THIS COULD RESULT IN MORE SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH IF AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER ON 4 DIFFERENT TIMES, THEY CLAIM TO HAVE FIXED THE AIRBAG, BUT AFTER THE FIX MY LIGHT CONTINUES TO BE ON INTERMITTENTLY EVEN WHEN AN ADULT IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT NISSAN SAID THE AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY EVEN THOUGH THE LIGHT WASN'T WORKING. I FEEL THAT NISSAN IS NOT HONORING THEIR WARRANTY, I BOUGHT A NEW CAR AND THE LIGHT ISN'T WORKING AND I CAN'T BE SURE THE AIRBAG IS WORKING EITHER. I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRONIC KEY, I WAS GIVEN A NEW BATTERY IN MY FOB BUT I STILL CONTINUE TO GET A NO KEY DETECTED AT DIFFERENT TIMES EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS RUNNING THE DASH WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN SAY NO KEY DETECTED. MY LAST PROBLEM IS WITH THE CAR ROLLING BACK ON A HILL, I PURCHASED AN AUTOMATIC, WHEN STOPPED ON A HILL I HAVE TO GUN THE ACCELERATOR TO STOP THE CAR FROM ROLLING BACK ON THE CAR BEHIND ME. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME TO TREAT THE CAR LIKE A MANUAL AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE ACCELERATOR. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO THAT NISSAN WILL NOT REPAIR ANYMORE TRANSMISSIONS. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW CAR, IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION THEY SHOULD FIX IT. AGAIN I HAVE HAD MY SUV INTO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT MY BRAND NEW 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. IT WILL SHUDDER AND YOU LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. TO BEGIN WITH IT STARTED AT LOW SPEEDS BUT NOW IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST NOR HOW SLOW YOU ARE GOING AND IT HAS ALMOST GOT ME IN WRECKS SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN VIOLENTLY JERKING AND SHAKING WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

AFTER 2 DAYS OF PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE I TRAVELED OUT OF STATE AND THE CAR STARTED JERKING AFTER MAKING A STOP AND RESUMING SPEED. I HAD TO DROP OFF AT A NEARBY DEALER AND HAD TO RENT A VEHICLE TO GET BACK HOME. THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM YET BUT I THINK IT WILL END UP BEING TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN. IT IS THE SECOND CAR THAT WE GET AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND NEARLY STALL AT LOW SPEEDS. VEHICLE WOULD LOSE ALL POWER, AND THEN SUDDENLY SURGE. VEHICLE RETURNED TO ABELOFF NISSAN (BROADHEADSVILLE, PA) , AND THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO VERIFY THE ISSUE. NISSAN IDENTIFIED THE ISSUE AS THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. ON 02/05/2015 THIS SAME LOSS OF POWER WAS EXPERIENCED WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED. MY WIFE WAS ENTERING ROADWAY AND VEHICLE LOST POWER, NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE KEN POLLOCK NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN WILKES- BARRE, PA , AND THEY WERE EVENTUALLY ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE LOSS OF POWER. NISSAN-USA ADVISED THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE A BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH AS THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT GO OFF WHEN PARKED. I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE FROM THE DEALERSHIP ON 02/16/2015, AND THE NEXT DAY THE SAME LOSS OF POWER OCCURRED THREE TIMES ON A FIVE MILE TRIP. NISSAN -USA WAS CONTACTED AND A COMPLAINT FILED. NISSAN HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, AND HAVE REFUSED TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLE. NISSAN CONTINUES TO SELL THIS MODEL YEAR, AND I BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE , AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

WITHIN A FEW WEEK OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE WE RECEIVED A RECALL ON THE AIR BAGS CONCERNING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND A SMALL PERSON. THIS WAS PERFORMED. LATER THE WARNING LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHEN MY WIFE, 106 POUNDS, WAS RIDING AS A PASSENGER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER AND THEY HAD IT FOR A FEW DAYS AND I BELIEVE REPLACED SOMETHING. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED, INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN MY WIFE SAT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I RETURNED THE CAR TO A DEALER TWO WEEKS AGO AND ALL THEY DID WAS GIVE ME SEVERAL SHEETS OF PAPERS, MOSTLY FROM THE HANDBOOK, ABOUT HOW THE PERSON MUST SIT IN THE SEAT, IN THE CENTER WITH THEIR BACK AGAINST THE SEAT BACK, FEET ON THE FLOOR, THE HEATER FAN OFF AND EVEN IF THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY THEY WERE STILL WELL PROTECTED. THEY ALSO SAID, IN SO MANY WORDS, THAT THIS WAS ALL THEY WERE ALLOWED TO DO. IN OTHER WORDS NISSAN WAS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING. TO EXPENSIVE I GUESS. A FRIEND OF OURS WORKS FOR NISSAN AND TOLD US THAT NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS NO PLANS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. HE ALSO INDICATED THAT IT WAS JUST NOT A PATHFINDER PROBLEM. SO WE HAVE A THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLAR CAR AND MY WIFE HAS TO SIT IN THE BACK SEAT TO BE REALLY SAVE, OR RISK INJURY OR DEATH IF WE HAVE A CRASH AND THE AIR BAG DOES NOT DEPLOY. *TR

CAR JERKS AND STRUGGLES TO INCREASE SPEEDS DURING THIS TIME. WHEN IN TRAFFIC TRAVELING AT A REDUCED SPEED CAR WILL JERK LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND FAIL TO INCREASE SPEED. *TR

CAN'T SEEM TO GET THE AIRBAG FIXED ON THIS CAR SINCE WE PURCHASED IT. DEALER SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. EVERY TIME SHE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE AIR BAG OFF LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED INDICATING THE AIRBAG IS OFF. NISSAN CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. SO ANY TIME MY WIFE SITS IN THAT SEAT THE AIRBAG WON'T WORK. CURRENTLY SHE WEIGHS 130 POUNDS AND IS 22 WEEKS PREGNANT SO THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH WEIGHT THERE TO ACTIVATE THE AIRBAG. PLEASE HELP. JUST HAD A RECALL DONE. DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

HESITATION AND STALLING HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. ON ONE OCCASION I HAD 4 CO-WORKERS IN THE CAR AT THE TIME (THEY ARE ALL WITNESSES) AND I PULLED OUT TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN IN FRONT OF ON COMING CARS AND THE CAR HESITATED CAUSING AN ALMOST CATASTROPHIC EVENT. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THEY CAN NOT JUST REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION UNTIL IT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED HAPPENING SEVERAL TIMES AND EVEN THEN THEY WILL NOT GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. I ASKED IF THEY WOULD TRADE OUT MY CAR WITH THE 2015 MODEL BECAUSE AS STATED BY THEM THE 2015 MODEL DOES NOT HAVE THESE ISSUES AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD HOWEVER, MY PAYMENTS WOULD GO UP TO AN AMOUNT THAT I CAN NOT AFFORD TO MAKE. THEY WERE UNWILLING TO MAKE MY PAYMENTS THE SAME AS THEY ARE NOW. THE HEAD OF THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ACTUALLY STATED THAT NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO IT WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS THE WAY THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED BY NISSAN. TO DATE THERE IS NO ACTUAL "RECALL" ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE RPM'S INCREASED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND JERKED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON A DAILY BASIS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE'S MAIN COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE SERVICED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

ACCELERATION / TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. ISSUES BEGAN AT 3100 MILES. NO ACCELERATION FROM STOP, OR VERY MINIMAL. FELT AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS "SLIPPING" AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE, OR SIMILAR TO DRIVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AT MPH IN 4TH GEAR. ISSUE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES ON MY COMMUTE HOME. WAS STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND REQUIRED TOWING BECAUSE I COULD NOT MAKE THE VEHICLE MOVE FORWARD AT ALL. ABNORMAL BURNING SMELL COMING FROM FRONT OF CAR WAS OBSERVED. I WAS STRANDED IN WINTER WITH A 3 MONTH OLD IN THE CAR. AT ONE POINT I WAS BASICALLY STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION DUE TO THE LACK OF ACCELERATION. I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED IN ONE CASE AND WAS IN SERIOUS DANGER OF BEING SIDESWIPED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION, THIS ISSUE COULD PRESENT A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD (AND DID FOR ME). FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, I WAS WORRIED FOR MY PERSONAL SAFETY WHILE DRIVING A CAR. ALSO OBSERVED ERRATIC ENGINE RPM'S AT IDLE (FROM 1000 TO 1500) AND WHILE COASTING. RPM WOULD JUMP UP AND DOWN WITH CONSTANT (OR NO) THROTTLE APPLIED. DEALER HAS HAD THE CAR FOR OVER 3 WEEKS AT THIS POINT. INITIALLY THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE, AND NO ERROR CODES WERE SHOWN ON THE COMPUTER. EVENTUALLY THEY DID REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND ARE NOW REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AFTER CONSULTING WITH NISSAN. I HAVE THE IMPRESSION THAT NEITHER NISSAN OR THE DEALER HAS ANY CLUE HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE. THEY ARE JUST TRYING DIFFERENT THINGS TO SEE WH

THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING WHICH IS CAUSING THE PARKING BRAKE SENSOR AND THE I-KEY SENSOR TO TURN ON AND OFF WITHOUT THE BRAKE SYSTEM BEING USED. THE RADIO AND ODOMETER SCREEN IS SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING, THE MILEAGE IS FLUCTUATING AS WELL AS THE GAS GAUGE. THE DASHBOARD WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER BUT THE SYSTEM IS STILL MALFUNCTIONING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATED, ALTHOUGH THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,500. UPDATED 2/24/15*CN THE DEALER RECALIBRATED THE SENSOR. HOWEVER, THE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AGAIN. UPDATED 03/02/15*JB

I WAS INVOLVED IN A ROLL OVER ACCIDENT AND NEITHER THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE SIDE AIRBAGS DID. THE VEHICLE WENT HEAD FIRST INTO THE DITCH AND THEN FLIPPED OVER. THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AFTER I FIRST BOUGHT IT AND SUPPOSEDLY "FIXED." OBVIOUSLY NOT. THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY EITHER. MY PATHFINDER IS A TOTAL LOSS. THIS IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALSO HAD MULTIPLE OTHER ISSUES INCLUDING THE ENGINE COILS, TRANSMISSION COMPUTER AND FINALLY THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED. TERRIBLE IN THE SNOW AND VIBRATES LIKE CRAZY! THIS VEHICLE IS OBVIOUSLY UNSAFE AND GARBAGE! *TR

WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO MOVE, THEN SHUDDERED AND STOPPED IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT HAS DONE THIS A FEW TIMES SINCE THEN, THE MOST RECENT WAS JUST OVER A WEEK AGO. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALERS SERVICE DEPT., I WAS TOLD IT DID THE SAME THING WITH THEM DRIVING IT. I WAS TOLD THEY HAVE SOME KIND OF BULLETIN FROM THE FACTORY REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND IT CLEARLY STATES THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THEY PROVIDED ANOTHER VEHICLE FOR ME TO DRIVE AND TOLD ME IT WILL TAKE 2 WEEKS FOR THEM TO GET ANOTHER TRANSMISSION AND ANOTHER 2-3 DAYS TO INSTALL IT. TWO DAYS AFTER LEAVING IT WITH THEM, I RECEIVED A MESSAGE STATING MY PATHFINDER WAS READY TO BE PICKED UP. THE MESSAGE STATED THEY HAD REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE TRIED CALLING SEVERAL TIMES TO QUESTION THIS CHANGE OF PLANS, BUT HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO REACH ANYONE WHO CAN EXPLAIN. *TR

WHILE DRIVING 70MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, CAR STARTED SURGING JUST BEFORE THE CVT TRANSMISSION TOTALLY FAILED, REDLINING THE ENGINE. TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN SHUDDERING AND SURGING PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. NISSAN KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR CVT UNITS, IT'S ALL OVER THE INTERNET. CAR WAS TOWED AND CVT REPLACED. NOW 2000 MILES LATER IT'S STARTING AGAIN. *TR

IT IS A PITY THAT NISSAN INCLUDES A "NAVIGATION" SYSTEM THAT WILL WORK ONLY WITH MAPS OF THE COUNTRY WHERE THEY SELL THEIR VEHICLES. I USE TO DRIVE INTO USA SINCE I LIVE CLOSE TO THE BORDER; BUT I CAN'T USE THE STATE OF THE ART NAVIGATION SYSTEM THAT NISSAN INSTALL IN THEIR CARS, BECAUSE THEY DON'T DO IT FOR IT. I SPENT A LOT OF TIME TRYING WITH THEIR THIRD PARTY FOR NAVIGATION SYSTEMS HERE (FORMER NAVTEQ) TO MAKE POSSIBLE TO UPLOAD MAPS FOR NORTH AMERICA WITHOUT SUCCESS. DEFINETELY NISSAN ON THIS REGARDS SUCKS! *JS

2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. ATTORNEY WRITES ON BEHALF OF CLIENT IN REGARDS TO BRAKE FAILURE. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HE CAME UPON A DEER IN THE ROAD. IN RESPONSE, HE ATTEMPTED TO ENGAGE HIS BRAKES; HOWEVER, THE BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED AND/OR DELAYED STOPPING THE VEHICLE AFTER HE APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL, RESULTING IN AN IMPACT BETWEEN THE VEHICLE AND THE DEER. UPON INVESTIGATION, IT WAS DISCOVERED NISSAN HAD SUBSTANTIAL ISSUES WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM IN CERTAIN NISSAN PATHFINDER'S, INCLUDING THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE, AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT, WHICH LEAD TO RECALL # 13V445000. *JB

I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW 11.23.13. ON 10.06.14, I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 70, MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. I WOULD TRY TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL & NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN. IT WOULD PUNCH IN & OUT & FINALLY CATCH. ABOUT 20 MIN LATER, MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING & WOULD PUNCH IN & OUT CONSTANTLY & I WOULD SLOW TO ABOUT 50 MPH WHERE CARS BEHIND ME ARE SWERVING NOT REALIZING I AM SLOWING DOWN SO FAST. I COULDN'T GET IT TO ACCELERATE & TRIED TO GET OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER. IT NEVER ACCELERATED AGAIN. I GOT A TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP & THEY FIGURED IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION. THEY CALLED TO TELL ME THEY REPLACED IT & REALIZED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WASN'T THE PROBLEM. THE NEXT DAY THEY SAID "YOU MAY HAVE PUT IN SOME BAD GAS." BAD GAS? WHATEVER. SO, THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THEY DRAINED THE GAS PUT SOME NEW GAS IN & GAVE ME THE CAR BACK 10.14.14. ON 10.21.14, THE PROBLEM CAME BACK. WE WERE AT A STOP LIGHT. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THIS TIME I WAS WITH MY HUSBAND & 2 YOUNG CHILDREN (2 & 4). WE SHUT OFF THE CAR TO RESET IT & TURNED IT BACK ON. WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT MOVING AGAIN & DROVE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. SOME NISSAN ENGINEERS CAME IN TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THE NISSAN REP CALLED ME TO ASK QUESTIONS LIKE, "HOW MANY MILES DID I DRIVE BEFORE MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING (10 MILES) & DID THE ODOMETER & OTHERS RESET (NO). THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS CAUSING MY CAR TO DO THIS SO THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, CONTROL PANEL, YOU NAME IT. GOT THE CAR BACK 10.

PASSENGER AIR BAG DOES NOT DETECT ADULT IN SEAT AND SUDDENLY TURNS AIR BAG OFF WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING, INDICATED BY AIR BAG LIGHT. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND CAN BE TEMPORARILY ADDRESSED BY CYCLING VEHICLE POWER. IMPORTANT TO NOTE IS THAT THE PROBLEM OCCURS AFTER VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO DEALER DUE TO THE 2ND RECALL NOTICE IN THIS REGARD. *TR

BACKUP CAMERA MONITOR IS FLICKERING OR VIDEO FEED IS MOVING UP AND DOWN ON MONITOR. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, BUT WHEN PRESENT, IMAGE QUALITY IS VERY POOR RENDERING BACKUP CAMERA FEATURE USELESS. *TR

THE VEHICLE MAKES A HIGH PITCH NOISE WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEED OR IN PARK. THIS NOISE WAS NOT PRESENT WHEN TEST DRIVING THE CAR AND APPARENTLY ONLY BEGINS TO MANIFEST ITSELF AFTER HAVING BEEN DRIVEN A FEW WEEKS OR MONTHS. NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE AS IT IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THE 2013 ALTIMA WHICH ALSO USES THE NEW ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING UNIT. NISSAN OFFERS NO REAL SOLUTION AT THE MOMENT AND DEEMS THE NOISE TO BE "ACCEPTABLE" BY NO ONES DEFINITION BUT THEIR OWN. NISSAN'S SOLUTION THUS FAR IS TO WRAP THE TUBES IN TAPE TO DAMPEN THE NOISE. THANK YOU *TR

IN STOP AND GO FREEWAY TRAFFIC WHEN DROPPING UNDER 20MPH AND REACCELERATING TRANSMISSION STARTS JERKING AT AROUND 20 MPH AND OCCASIONALLY DOES THE SAME AROUND 45MPH. HAS ALSO OCCURRED GOING AROUND CORNERS AT AROUND 20MPH. SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN PICKING BACK UP ON THROTTLE. WHEN ITS STARTS JERKING THERE IS A LOSS OF POWER UNTIL JERKING STOPS. VERY UNSAFE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. WAS TOLD BY SERVICE WRITER AT METRO NISSAN THAT THERE WAS NOT A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM YET. TOOK TO RIVERSIDE NISSAN AND TRANSMISSION COMPUTER WAS REPROGRAMMED ON 9/27/14. SERVICE MANAGER THERE SAID IT FIXES AROUND 50 PERCENT OF THE TIME.HOPING I'M IN THAT 50%. *TR

THE WHOLE DASHBOARD SHAKING WHEN YOU TRY TO APPLY GAS AND IT USUALLY HAPPEN BETWEEN THE SPEED OF 0-20MPH ONLY. I HAVE AN APT WITH THE DEALER ON OCT 7TH TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE WHAT I AM SEEING ON THE WEBSITE THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. PAID $44K FOR THIS CAR AND NOW I HAVE TO TRY AND SEE IF IT FIXES IT. THE DEALER TOLD ME IF THE SOFTWARE UPDATE DOESN'T WORK THEN THEY WILL ASK NISSAN USA CORP TO SEE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. I THINK PEOPLE SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM CVT TRANSMISSION FROM NISSAN AS THIS COULD LEAD TO A CRASH. GOOD THING IT ONLY HAPPENS IN LOW SPEED ACCELERATION BUT IF IT HAPPENS IN A HIGH SPEED THIS WILL BE A BIG ISSUE. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE VIEW MIRROR CREATES A REAL BLIND SPOT FOR THE DRIVER. IT IS SMACK IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR FACE AND BLOCKS YOUR VIEW TO THE LEFT FOR MAKING LEFT TURNS. ALSO, AT AN INTERSECTION ( FOUR WAY), YOU ARE UNABLE TO SEE A CAR STOPPED ON YOUR LEFT AWAITING TO CROSS OVER OR TO MAKE A LEFT IN FRONT OF YOU. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR MISS INCIDENTS AND THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM. THE MIRRORS NEED TO BE REDESIGNED AND PLACED AT A LOWER LEVEL THUS GIVING YOU A CLEAR VIEW THROUGH THE LEFT OR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. *TR

WE WERE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC ON THE DOWNHILL PORTION OF A CITY STREET WHEN WE WERE HIT FROM BEHIND BY A NISSAN PICKUP TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES PER HOUR. WE WERE APPROXIMATELY 10-12 FEET BEHIND THE CAR IN FRONT OF US AS WE'D STOPPED EARLY DUE TO WISHING TO LEAVE ROOM TO MOVE UP IN CASE OF IMMINENT IMPACT (WE COULD SEE THE VEHICLE COME FAST AND NOT SLOWING ENOUGH). MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND WE WERE NOT MOVING AT THE TIME. THE IMPACT DISENGAGED OUR BRAKES (MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE PEDAL AND IT WAS FULLY DEPRESSED). WE HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF US AT AN ANGLE AND CONTINUED TO ROLL FORWARD FOR APPROXIMATELY 100 YARDS WITH NO WAY OF STOPPING. AFTER PUMPING THE PEDAL A FEW TIMES THE BRAKES ONCE AGAIN ENGAGED AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED THE PREVIOUS WEEK BY THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND THEY ADVISED ME THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES. I FEEL THAT THE BRAKES FAILED ON THIS VEHICLE BASED ON MY PAST EXPERIENCES IN SIMILAR REAR END COLLISIONS AND HAVE GRAVE CONCERNS ABOUT A DEFECT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE UNLATCHED WITHOUT WARNING AND STRUCK THE WINDSHIELD AND THE ROOF, RIPPING THE TWO QUARTER PANELS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE HOOD LATCH WAS DEFECTIVE. AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE, THE ROOF, HOOD, TWO QUARTER PANELS, AND THE WINDSHIELD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000. UPDATED 10/24/2014*LJ

I CALLED NISSAN IN JUNE TO REPORT THAT MY CAR WAS SHAKING AND TREMBLING AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENS WHILE COASTING, ACCELERATING AND BRAKING. I BROUGHT IT IN AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A TRANSMISSION UPDATE. 2 WEEKS LATER THE PROBLEM RETURNED. AT TIMES I NEED TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT TO GET THE SHAKING TO STOP. WHEN I LOOKED ONLINE THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. OVER 29000 ALREADY ARE "LEMONS". I BROUGHT IT BACK AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEN BROUGHT IT BACK AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A NEW UPDATE (1 DAY LATER). I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE AND THEY WERE LOOKING INTO BUYING THE CAR. THEY THEN PUT IN A NEW TRANSMISSION AS I HAD REFUSED TO PICK UP THE CAR. THEY PUT IT IN THE DAY THEY CALLED TO SAY IT WOULD BE DONE TOMORROW SO WHEN I CALLED TO ASK THEM NOT TO, IT WAS ALREADY BEING DONE. NOW NISSAN WILL NOT BUY THE CAR AS IT HAS A NEW TRANSMISSION. THERE ARE REPORTS OF HAVING 3 NEW TRANSMISSIONS AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. CARS ARE BREAKING DOWN. NISSAN IS IGNORING THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD IN 2-3 WEEKS THEY WILL CALL AND IF THE CAR IS OK THEY WILL OFFER A SETTLEMENT. WHY A SETTLEMENT IF THE CAR IS OK UNLESS THEY REALIZE IT IS A PROBLEM? THE FACT THAT THIS IS A CONTINUATION FROM 2013 PROBLEM, AND THE CARS ARE CONTINUING TO BE SOLD WHILE NISSAN IGNORES THE PROBLEM PUTS PEOPLE IN DANGER. CARS ARE OVERHEATING AND BREAKING DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. SOMEONE NEEDS TO HOLD NISSAN ACCOUNTABLE AND PUT PEOPLE FIRST. I STATED TO CORPORATE I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO B

VEHICLE FLUTTERS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS BUT MORE SO AT LOWER SPEEDS ESPECIALLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE PURCHASING DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. PURCHASED VEHICLE MAY 31 2014 WITH 45 MILES. *TR

BRAND NEW NEVER DRIVEN 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER BOUGHT. WITHIN 3 DAYS OF BUYING VEHICLE, JERKING MOTION, (LIKE THAT OF GOING OVER A RUMBLE STRIP), WHILE AT STEADY 20MPH. JERKING STOPPED WITH BRAKING AND/OR ACCELERATING. DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN TILL WEEKS LATER. TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP. TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT AFTER TESTING FOR REPORTED 20 MILES. PROBLEM CONTINUED. NOW HAPPENS AT HIGH SPEEDS. SAFETY CONCERN AS WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS, JERKS FORWARD, CAUSING BREAKING, WITH NEAR REAR END CRASH OCCURRENCE. *TR

WE HAVE A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER SL, WITH 3551 MILES ON IT. WE PURCHASED IT USED ON 8-6-2014 WITH APPROXIMATELY 2240 MILES ON IT, WE ARE THE SECOND OWNER. ON 8-20-2014, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCESS AN INTERSTATE FROM AN ON-RAMP WE EXPERIENCED A SHUTTER AND STRONG SHAKING OF OUR 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER SL, AT THAT TIME IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 3336 MILES ON IT. WE WERE FORCED TO PULL OVER, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. WE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT TO CONTINUE ON THE INTERSTATE BUT DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANOTHER INCIDENT THAT DAY. THE FOLLOWING SIX DAYS THE CAR BEGAN DOING THE SAME THING BUT IT WOULD USUALLY BE SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. I DID RESEARCH ON THE TRANSMISSION AND FOUND THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS RIFE WITH PROBLEMS. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP (NOT WHERE WE PURCHASED IT) AND THEY RAN A DYNAMOMETER DIAGNOSTICS ON THE CAR AND SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. AS WE WERE DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE THE TECH MENTIONED THAT THE RECORDS SHOWED THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS CAR HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE BEFORE, AT APPROXIMATELY 2000 MILES. ALSO, I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP, WHO IS GOING TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, THAT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET THROUGH TO THE NISSAN "CVT HOTLINE" TO REPORT THE PROBLEM AND ARRANGE FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WILL BE REPLACED BUT THAT NISSAN IS THE HOLD UP. IT IS EXTREMELY UNFORTUNATE THAT A CAR MANUFACTURING COMPANY CAN GET AWAY WITH THIS AND FORCE CUSTOMER TO WAIT FOR A RE

THE AIR BAG LIGHT ISSUE ON THE NISSAN PATHFINDER CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE FOR ME. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO THE SERVICE CENTER IN EXCESS OF 5 TIMES OVER THE COURSE THAT I HAVE HAD THE CAR (PURCHASED IN OCTOBER 2013) FOR THE AIR BAG LIGHT ISSUE. WHEN A PASSENGER SITS IN THE SEAT, THE AIR BAG OFF LIGHT MAY STAY ON DURING THE COURSE OF THE DRIVE, INDICATING THAT THE AIR BAG IS TURNED OFF. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME A PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT AND ONLY AT RANDOM TIMES. THE SERVICE CENTER HAS UPDATED THE SYSTEM PROGRAMMING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NISSAN PATHFINDER RECALL AGAINST THE AIRBAG ISSUE. THE SERVICE CENTER HAS ALSO REPLACED THE AIR BAG SENSOR. OVER THE COURSE OF TIME, NONE OF THESE "FIXES" HAVE RESOLVED THE ISSUE. I HAVE COME TO FIND THAT IT MAY BE A PROGRAMMING ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAG -- IF A PASSENGER IS NOT FULLY SEATED AND STILL AT THE MOMENT THE CAR IS TURNED ON, THE SENSOR WILL NOT PROPERLY REGISTER THE PASSENGER WEIGHT. TYPICALLY, WHEN THE WEIGHT IS UNDETERMINED OR CANNOT BE IMMEDIATELY READ, THE CAR WILL KEEP THE AIR BAG OFF LIGHT ON ASSUMING THAT IT FALLS OUTSIDE OF THE "ADULT WEIGHT" CATEGORY. THE LIGHT WILL REMAIN ON FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING WHEN IT FINALLY RE-REGISTERS THE PASSENGER WEIGHT. THESE TYPES OF SITUATIONS CAN BE CHARACTERIZED IN MULTIPLE WAYS -- CAR TURNS ON AND PASSENGER IS STILL GETTING IN SEAT; PASSENGER SITS DOWN AS THE CAR IS TURNING ON; PASSENGER IS FULLY SEATED BUT SLIGHTLY MOVES DURING THE WEIGHT REGISTRATION; ETC. REG

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHEN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED, THE AIR BAG SENSOR WOULD ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENTLY. THIS INDICATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WAS DEACTIVATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE OSC UNIT WAS FAULTY. THE UNIT WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED WHEN A 125 POUND PASSENGER OCCUPIED THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANY DEFECTS WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SHOULD DEACTIVATE FOR PASSENGERS UP TO 130 POUNDS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,257.

WHILE VACUUMING UNDER BACK SEATS NOTICED RUST UNDER SEATS. ONLY HAD VEHICLE 1 MONTH. SHOWED DEALERSHIP AT NEXT OIL CHANGE. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO GET THE DEALERSHIP TO DO ANYTHING I CONTACTED NISSAN MYSELF. THEY TRIED TO TELL ME THAT THIS RUST UNDER THE SEATS IS ENVIRONMENTALLY INDUCED FROM SALT ON THE ROADS WHILE TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE FROM A NEIGHBORING STATE. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW WITH THE PLASTIC STILL INSIDE. HOW CAN SALT GET INSIDE THE VEHICLE? THEY SHOWED ME ANOTHER 2014 PATHFINDER JUST LIKE MINE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND IT TOO HAD RUST UNDER THE SEATS. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A DEFECT. *TR

PROBLEM ONE-THE AIRBAG OFF LIGHT IS ON WHEN A 200 PLUS POUND OCCUPANT IS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE RECALL HAS BEEN PERFORMED AND IS CONTINUING TO FAIL. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED. 3 TIMES CAUGHT ON FILM/ VIDEO AND FORWARDED TO THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER. NISSAN SENT AN ENGINEER TO RIDE WITH ME ON 7/31/2014 AND BLAMED THE GOVERNMENT FOR THE FAILURE. HE SAID THAT NISSAN SETS UP THE PARAMETERS BASED ON THE GOVERNMENT GUIDELINES AND IF THE LIGHT IS ON AND AIRBAG IS OFF THAT IS BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE ON AND DISABLED. CALL ME CRAZY BUT THAT SOUNDS LIKE HORSE CRAP AND DEFLECTION TO ME. I CAN FORWARD YOU THE VIDEOS IF YOU WOULD LIKE. PROBLEM TWO- THE CVT TRANSMISSION STARTED SHUDDERING AROUND 2200 MILES AND IS CONTINUALLY GETTING WORSE. THEY PERFORMED A SOFTWARE UPDATE AND SAID THAT SHOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT HAS CONTINUALLY GOTTEN WORSE. THE NISSAN ENGINEER RODE WITH ME ON 7/31/2014 AND SAID THAT HE FELT THE SHUDDER AND THAT IT WAS A COST OF ACHIEVING CAFA STANDARDS AND WAS ACCEPTABLE. HE STATED THAT WHEN MOST CUSTOMERS ARE TOLD THAT THE SHUDDER IS THERE BECAUSE OF FUEL ECONOMY THEY ACCEPT IT AND ARE SATISFIED. HE IMPLIED THAT I WAS JUST BEING DIFFICULT AND HARD TO PLEASE. I INFORMED HIM THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IF THAT WAS THE WAY IT DROVE AT THE TEST DRIVE AND EXPRESSED THAT IT WAS CONSTANTLY GETTING WORSE AND HE DISMISSED THE CLAIM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PULL A FOUR THOUSAND POUND BOAT OUT OF THE WATER, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SMOKE AND THE TIRES STARTED TO BURN. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO PULL THE BOAT AND SUBMERGED INTO THE WATER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 700.

THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO "SHUDDER" AROUND 25 MPH. IT HAPPENED THE NEXT DAY AFTER I PURCHASED IT. I TOOK IT TO DEALER ON FOLLOWING MONDAY TO DO UNDERCOATING AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT. I TOOK IT IN ABOUT A WEEK LATER AND THEY STILL COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT. I WAS IN THE AREA OF THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURRED. I ARRIVED AT DEALERSHIP AND SUPERVISOR WENT FOR A RIDE WITH ME AND WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. IT TOOK THEM ABOUT A WEEK TO GET THE PART AND HAD MY VEHICLE FOR ALMOST A FULL WEEK TO INSTALL TRANSMISSION. ONCE I RECEIVED MY VEHICLE BACK FROM THEM I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CAR NOT STARTING. AFTER ABOUT 5 TRIES, THE VEHICLE WOULD START AND ALL MILEAGE AND FUEL GAUGES WOULD GO BACK TO ZERO. I WAS RECENTLY ABLE TO GET THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED THE BATTERY WAS HALF DEAD. THEY RECHARGED THE BATTERY LAST MONDAY, JUNE 16TH. I HAD NO ISSUES FOR THE FIRST FEW DAYS AND ON THURSDAY, JUNE 19TH, THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. IT TOOK MANY TRIES TO GET IT STARTED. I HAD TO RETURN TO THE DEALER AGAIN TODAY. AS OF RIGHT NOW THEY DO NOT KNOW WHY THE BATTERY KEEPS DRAINING. *TR

HAD VEHICLE AT DEALER REGARDING NHTSA CAMPAIGN 14V138000. ONE DAY AFTER VISIT, PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. WITH 110 LBS. PASSENGER IN FRONT SEAT, AIRBAG AUTOMATICALLY TURNED OFF. *TR

2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER ALL FOUR WHEEL HUBS BEGAN RUSTING SOON AFTER PURCHASE. CAR IS NOW 6 MONTHS OLD WITH HUBS COMPLETELY RUSTED...THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AS IT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I HAVE TWO NISSAN PATHFINDERS, ONE 2012 AND ONE 2014..BOTH MAINTAINED TO SAME STANDARDS. I HAVE NO RUST ON MY 2012 BUT 2014 IS LOOKING TERRIBLE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR
