Owner reports filed with NHTSA about this vehicle, newest first and reproduced as filed. They are unverified accounts: one proves nothing, and a pattern across many is the thing worth reading. Back to the full 2014 record →
Driver side sun visor has broken and can’t be stowed. Visor now hangs down and blocks at least 50% of the drivers view to the front. Visor can be moved to the left, up against the side window, but then it blocks the view to the left. This is a known issue. It is a safety defect and a recall should be issued.
After dealership replaced the stop lamp switch and brake pedal position switch, they came back in less than 20 miles to say that the noise from my brakes was from the master cylinder and brake booster. A bill of over $1600 in which I feel is in no way my responsibility but Nissan and dealership rejected my request for assistance. I was hoping that the recall resolved the noise and shifting issues I have been complaining about to two Nissan dealership for almost 2 years. All of my Nissan vehicle services have been completed by Nissan dealerships including oil changes, brakes pads and rotors, battery replacement amongst other devices/ parts. I am a loyal customer to Nissan but disappointed in their response to this bill.
My vehicle has started to stall, jerk, jump while accelerating. I have called Nissan and got the run around. Non returned phone call.
I purchased my car 1 year ago. Since then my car has continued to stutter. Sometimes its a suttle stutter, most times its very noticeable and has continued to get worse in the short time I've had my car. I commute 1 hour to work and 1 hour home from work and am very concerned traveling on the highway at high speeds with this issue. I've asked a dealership in Hutchinson, KS to help me with this issue as I am concerned the CVT valve in the transmission has not been fixed and they won't help me. They tell me that since their tech does not witness the stutter during their brief test drive there is nothing they can do to help. I've read several complaints on nhtsa.gov from other customers as well and they are consistent with my concern.
HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION 2 TIMES ON VEHICLE WITH 141000 MILES ON IT. THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS FAIL AFTER 60000 MILES OR SO. VERY FRUSTRATING TO PAY THIS MUCH FOR A VEHICLE TO HAVE SAME EQUIPMENT FAIL MULTIPLE TIMES. THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSIONS ARE NO BETTER THAN THE ORIGINALS. NISSAN NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING TO COMPENSATE THESE CONSUMERS AND OWN UP TO THE CVT TRANSMISSION BEING FAULTY.
TRIPS, SHUDDERING AND LOSS OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING

CAR JUDDER AND LOOSE POWER
MY PASSENGER SEAT STOPPED SENSING SOMEONE SITTING IN THE SEAT AND WOULDN'T TURN ON. THEN, A COUPLE DAYS LATER THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON FLASHING. I WAS NOT IN ANY KIND OF ACCIDENT WHATSOEVER NOR WAS THERE A REASON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. MEDFORD NISSAN TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR IT THAT I HAD TO PAY 120.00 JUST FOR THEM TO DETECT WHAT WAS WRONG. THEN THEY WANTED ME TO PAY TO FIX IT. I DID NOTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN. SCROLLING THROUGH AIRBAG COMPLAINTS FROM THE 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDERS IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE.
AFTER ANY COMPLETE STOP , AS YOU ACCELERATE YOU FEEL ABOUT 3 TO FOUR SKIPS DURING ACCELERATION. HAPPENS EVERY TIME . HEARD THAT TRANSMISSION HAS ISSUES
I OWN A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER AND THE TRANSMISSION DIED LAST WEEK. I TOWED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE REPAIR IS $5,400. AFTER SOME DIGGING I DISCOVERED THAT NISSAN HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL YEAR TRANSMISSION AND THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY THEN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE CVT TO 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES, HOWEVER OWNERS WERE NEVER INFORMED OF THIS RECALL/ CAMPAIGN SINCE ALL VEHICLES WOULD NOT EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME MY TRANNY FAILED AT 125,000 MILES AND THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY, ALTHOUGH ALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES I OUTLINED ABOVE SHOWS' THEY DID NOT DO THEIR DO DILIGENCE TO INFORM AND FIX THE ISSUE AFTER THEY FOUND OUT ABOUT THE FAULT. I'M SURE THEY WILL BE MANY MORE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES THAT WILL EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE. ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO ASSIST WITH THIS WOULD A APPRECIATED.
THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE.
TRANSFER CASE HAVE BEEN LEAKING STARTING ABOUT 45K MILES AND DIDN'T EVEN STOP AFTER NISSAN RESEALED IT. RECENTLY ABOUT 90K MILES STARTED TO MAKE WHINING NOISE THAT SEEM TO BE LESS NOISY AFTER 35MPH. THERE ALSO IS SCRATCHING NOISE ON SLOW DOWN. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY RECOMMENDED DRIVING THE CAR ON 2WD ONLY. REPLACEMENT IS OVER $4,500.
WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT ~ 30MPH, THE HOOD FLEW OPEN BENDING BOTH THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER FENDERS AND MANGLING THE SEALS. THE FORCE AT WHICH THE HOOD OPENED NEARLY BROKE THE WINDSHIELD AND DID NOT ALLOW FOR THE DRIVER TO SEE OUT OF ANY PART OF THE WINDOW REQUIRING AN IMMEDIATE STOP. THERE WAS NO INDICATION ON THE DASHBOARD THAT THE HOOD WAS AJAR. IN DOING SOME RESEARCH, THERE IS A RECALL ON THE SAME YEAR/MAKE/MODEL BUT NONE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS VIN. WHILE THE DRIVER AND NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT, THIS ISSUE HAD THE POTENTIAL TO INJURY OR KILL SOMEONE IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY OR ON A BUSIER ROAD.

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS CAUSING THE CAR TO LOSE POWER AND ACCELERATION. I WAS MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH WHEN THE TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT AS I WAS MERGING IN FRONT OF AND NEXT TO TWO SEMI TRAILERS. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO STEER BACK ONTO THE BERM BUT THEY CAME VERY CLOSE TO SMASHING INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR.
WATER LEAKS INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR FROM THE ROOF AND RUNS DOWN AND SATURATE THE IN CABIN FUSE BOX AND THE FLOOR COULD POSSIBLE CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE.
TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND JERKING. HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION.

BOTH SUNVISORS IN MY VEHICLE ARE BEING HELD UP WITH BUNGY CORDS BECAUSE THEY JUST FALL DOWN INTO YOUR FACE WHILE DRIVING.

AFTER TALKING WITH NISSAN HEADQUARTERS TODAY 08 12 20 THERE IS NO RECALL YET AND TO CONTACT YOU.

DRIVING DOWN I-75 I HEARD A LOUD BANG, LIKE A GUNSHOT, IN MY CAR. I FRANTICALLY STARTED LOOKING AROUND THE CAR AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. I CALLED MY HUSBAND THAT WAS ABOUT A MILE AWAY TO COME CHECK MY CAR. MY HUSBAND GOT OUT AND WALKED AROUND THE CAR NOT SEEING ANYTHING IMMEDIATELY. HE WALKED TO ME AND GAVE ME HIS KEYS SO I COULD DRIVE HIS CAR HOME AND HE WAS GOING TO TAKE MINE. WALKING BACK TO THE CAR HE SAW THE SUNROOF BULGED UP. HE STOOD IN THE DOOR FRAME AND SAW A LARGE HOLE IN THE SUNROOF AND TOLD ME IT LOOKS LIKE IT EXPLODED OUTWARDS. LUCKILY THE SHADE WAS CLOSED SO I WAS NOT COVERED IN GLASS. NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO FIX IT BECAUSE "THEY DIDN'T MAKE THE GLASS" ACCORDING TO THE REP I SPOKE TO. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS OEM AND INSTALLED IN A NISSAN FACTORY. STATE FARM WILL NOT COVER THE DAMAGES DUE TO IT BEING A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THAT STICKS ME WITH THE $1900 BILL. NOW I AM TERRIFIED TO EVEN DRIVE THE CAR AND IT DOING IT AGAIN. IT WAS TRULY ONE OF THE SCARIEST MOMENTS OF MY LIFE. *TR
I WAS DRIVING HOME YESTERDAY ON I-75 AND HEARD A LOUD BANG LIKE A GUN GOING OFF IN MY CAR. THERE WAS NO ONE AROUND ME AND I LOOKED AROUND AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. LUCKILY, MY HUSBAND WAS ABOUT A MILE AWAY SO I CALLED HIM. WHEN HE GOT THERE I WAS SHAKING! HE WALKED AROUND MY CAR LOOKING FOR SOMETHING, BUT DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. HE TOLD ME TO DRIVE HIS CAR HOME AND HE WOULD TAKE MINE. WHILE WALKING BACK TO THE CAR HE NOTICED A BULGE UP IN THE SUNROOF. HE OPENED THE DOOR TO TAKE A LOOK ON TOP AND SAW THE SUNROOF EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WON'T COVER IT, NISSAN WON'T COVER IT, I'M WAITING ON MY INSURANCE TO SEE IF THEY WILL HELP (BUT SINCE IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT) IT IS POSSIBLE IT MAY BE DENIED ALSO. THIS IS SO SCARY AND DANGEROUS! *TR
DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, THE SUNROOF EXPLODED.
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
