2014 Nissan Pathfinder complaints

WITHIN THE LAST YEAR+ BOTH FRONT WINDOWS HAVE FALLEN APART INSIDE OF THE DOOR AND STOPPED WORKING. BOTH TIMES JUST AS I HIT THE BUTTON TO POWER DOWN THE WINDOW. IT GETS 1-2 INCHES AND YOU HEAR EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE GLASS CLATTER TO THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR. PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW NEVER USED; MAYBE HAS BEEN OPENED 15-20 TIMES. ALL STARTED OVER 60K MILES. NOTHING COVERED BY MANUFACTURER. HAD TO PAY EXTENDED WARRANTY DEDUCTIBLE. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN DESIGN OR MATERIAL. BOTH TIMES THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. DRIVERS SIDE AT DRIVE THRU FOR COFFEE. PASSENGER SIDE SITTING IN PARKING SPACE. THIS CAR IS SUPER PAMPERED, GARAGE KEPT AND CLEAN, NO KIDS, NO PASSENGERS, BACK AND FORTH TO WORK, 95% ON 4 OR 6 LANE HIGHWAY.

I GOT A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER SV 4 WHEEL DRIVE TRANSMISSION IS GONE SKIPPING ALL OVER THE PLACE

SHUDDERING AND JUMPING IN LOW GEARED ACCELERATION, SEEMS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. JUST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE TODAYAYBE PUT 200 MILES ON IT SINCE BUYING IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE RPM REVVED UP BUT FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE LIGHTLY DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO 45 MPH. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

THE STRUTS ON THE BACK LIFTGATE RUSTED AND SNAPPED WHEN THE TRUNK WAS OPENING. THE WAR WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME. WE HIT THE BUTTON TO OPENED THE TRUNK IT STARTED TO OPEN AND THEN STOPPED.

I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2015 AND COMPLAINED ABOUT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS THE DEALER SAID IT WAS OK, IN 2017 I BEGAN HAVING MORE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, THE DEALER DID SOME WORK AND ADJUSTMENTS AND ADDED A MONITOR OF SOME KIND AND CLAIMED EVERYTHING WAS FINE, NOW TODAY A DIAGNOSIC SHOWS MY TRANSMISSION IS NOT WORKING AGAIN AND THE DEALER HAS NO IDEA WHY, I HAVE ALWAYS FELT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OFF YEARS AGO BY REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THEM AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON NISSAN TRANSMISSION IT SEEMS MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEM LIKE MY SELF. THE VEHICLE, SLIPS, HESTITATE, VIBRATES WHEN SPEEDING UP AND THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON.

SAT IDLING 30 MINUTES PUT CAR IN REVERSE NO POWER. PUT CAR IN DRIVE NO POWER. NEUTRAL STEPPED ON GAS ENGINES REVVED. TOWED TO DEALER DIONASTIC BAD TRANSMISSION. DEALER NOTIFIED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA WILLING TO SPLIT THE%44 $4400 REBUILD COST. CAR HAS 93K GARAGE KEPT DEALER MAINTAINED. APPARENTLY NISSAN SETTLED A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT TO EXTEND THE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY TO 90KMI. VERY DISSATISFIED THE CTV TRANSMISSION WAS POORLY ENGINEERED AND DESIGNED. THE REBUILT TRANSMISSION COME WITH A 1 YEAR OR 12KMI WARRANTY. NEVER AGAIN. STAY AWAY FROM MISSAN THEY DON'T STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCT.

THE VEHICLE IS CONSTANTLY JERKING AND JUMPING EVERY TIME YOU ACCELERATE EVEN EVEN WHEN ON FLAT PLAIN CITY STREET. I ORIGINALLY HAD THIS ISSUE LOOKED AT BACK IN JANUARY 3, 2020, WHICH I DIDN'T I HAVE THE CAR FOR 2 WEEKS THEN. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AGAIN FEBRUARY 5, 2020 TO GET ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC DONE CAUSE IT WAS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AS BEFORE.. THEY SAID I NEED A CAT CONVERTERS. TRANSMISSION REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CORPORATE AND GIVEN THEM THE CODES THAT HAVE COME UP AND THEY'RE BRUSHING ME OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH, THE HOOD BECAME AJAR. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE HOOD FAILED TO LATCH SECURELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE NISSAN OF DEARBORN LOCATED AT 24501 MICHIGAN AVE, DEARBORN, MI 48124, TO BE INSPECTED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE HOOD LATCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 78,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IS HAVING A HARD TIME PICKING UP SPEED AND SOMETIMES IT THE SPEED LIMIT WILL GO DOWN BY ITSELF, WITHOUT ME HAVING TO BREAK. I WAS IN MOTION A CITY STREET GOING UP A HILL WHEN THIS TRANSPIRED. THEN IT JERKS LIKE IT IS TRYING TO RUSH TO CATCH UP WITH THE REST OF THE MILEAGE. I HAVE A TRANSMISSION CODE THAT IS PRESENT OF 817F1-00. THAT I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT AND THEIR GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. THEY WANT TO KNOW WHERE DID I GET IT FROM?! ITS LEGIT NOT TO MENTION THERE'S A PART RECALL ON IT, THEY WON'T HONOR!

THE POWER LIFT GATE CYLINDER SNAPPED OFF AND TRUNK FALLS DOWN IMMEDIATELY AFTER OPENING. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND ALMOST CAUSED AN INJURY.

SUN VISORS WILL NOT STAY UP. THEY ARE FALLING OFF DOWN AUTOMATICALLY. PLEASE MAKE NISAAN TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT IS DANGEROUS DURING LINE CHANGE AND MAKING TURNS THIS ITEM IS ALREADY REPLACED ONCE. BEEN USING THIS VEHICLE FOR 5 PLUS YEARS. RARELY I HAVE PERSON SITTING IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT

THERE IS A SHAKING/SHUDDERING WHEN TURNING AT SLOW SPEEDS, SUCH AS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. ADDITIONALLY, THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OCCASIONS, IN BOTH 2 WHEEL AND AUTO/4 WHEEL, WHERE THE VEHICLE MAKES A THUMP WHILE TURNING AND/OR ACCELERATING. THE ISSUES SEEM TO BE SIMILAR TO WHAT TSB NO.15-015A REFER TO. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 11/07/18. THE THUMPING FIRST OCCURRED AROUND MAY/JUNE 2019 AND THE JUDDERING BEGAN TODAY 01/04/20

2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER HYBRID. MY VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPED AT A LIGHT; CAR SHAKES LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL OUT; CAR SHAKES WHEN GOING AT LOW SPEEDS AND LIGHTLY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, IT SEEMS AS IF THE TRANSMISSIONS TRIES TO SHIFT BUT THE GEAR DOESN'T GO IN. MY VEHICLE SHIFTS INTO OD ON ITS OWN. ALSO STEERING WHEEL DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT. LASTLY, TRUNK CLOSES ABRUPTLY AFTER OPENING; HAS FALLEN ON MY HEAD SEVERAL TIMES.

ON MONDAY 12/9/2019 I WAS DRIVING THE PATHFINDER ALONE ON AUDELIA ROAD IN DALLAS TEXAS. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 35 MPH IN THIS AREA. I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. AROUND 11:00 AM I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION AND THE VEHICLE WAS FILLED WITH DUST WHILE IN MOTION. ASSUMING I WAS HIT I PULLED OVER AND EXITED MY CAR. AFTER I GOT OUT OF THE CAR I NOTICED THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS IN THE AREA. I WALKED AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR AND SAW ZERO DAMAGE. (PHOTO ATTACHED) I LOOKED BACK INTO THE CAR AND THEN SAW THAT ALL OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.(PHOTO ATTACHED) THE AIRBAGS ON THE DRIVER SIDE DID NOT DEPLOY. MY HEAD WAS POUNDING AND MY EYES HURT FROM ALL THE DUST THAT WAS SHOT OUT IN THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYING. AAA TOWED MY CAR TO TROPHY NISSAN IN MESQUITE TEXAS. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT TOUCH THE VEHICLE AS THEY STATED IT WAS A MANUFACTURE ISSUE. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN AND STARTED THE PROCESS. THE ENGINEER SENT BY NISSAN HAS ASSESSED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT HE SEES NO PHYSICAL, ELECTRICAL OR AFTER MARKET PARTS THAT WOULD HAVE TRIGGERED THE FAILURE. (PHOTO ATTACHED) WE HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM NISSAN ON WHAT THEIR CONCLUSION IS BUT THE AIR BAG FAILURE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND COULD HAVE HURT MY INFANT CHILD SEVERELY AS THIS IS THE SIDE HER CAR SEAT IS LOCATED. LAST-WE ARE UNDER THE IMPRESSION WE HAD THE AIRBAG RECALL ISSUE REPAIRED IN APRIL 2019.TROPHY NISSAN WAS VERY MISLEADING WITH THEIR ANSWERS ON THE RECALL REPAIRS. PAPERWORK ATTACHED

THE VEHICLE SHUTTERS FEELING AS IF IT WILL STALL AT LOW RPM BETWEEN 10MPH TO 20MPH WHILE DRIVING IN HIGHWAY COMMUTER TRAFFIC. THIS WAS REPORTED TO MY DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AT MULTIPLE SERVICE APPOINTMENTS SUCH AS OIL CHANGES. THE PROBLEM WAS PURPOSELY NOT DOCUMENTED ON MY SERVICE SHEETS AND I LEARNED THROUGH THE INTERNET OF WHAT MY PROBLEM WAS WHEN MY DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THEY COULD NOT DETECT A PROBLEM. THE CVT HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM WHEN THE WHOLE TIME I THOUGHT I HAD A FUEL OR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS AND KEPT ME IN THE DARK OF THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL VERY LET DOWN BY THE DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN AS THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM I KNOWN OF SINCE 50K MILES AND THE DEALERSHIP WOULD TELL ME NO PROBLEM WAS DETECTED.

VEHICLE HAS CONSTANTLY JERKED UNDER 30 MILES AN HOUR. I HAD THE COMPUTER REPROGRAMMED IN 2016 PER THE NISSAN RECALL BUT THE SHUDDER NEVER WENT AWAY. NISSAN SAID THAT I HAD TO DRIVE THROUGH THE SHUDDER. WELL TODAY MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AND NISSAN SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. PLEASE DO NO BUY THIS CAR.

2014 PATHFINDER SV HYBRID 4WD PASSEGER AIRBAG SENSOR FRAME AND WIRING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS ALWAYS DEACTIVATED, EVEN IF AN ADULT PASSENGER IS SEATED IN IT, THERE IS ALSO AN AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT THAT FLASHES ON THE DASHBOARD. NISSAN'S OCS SYSTEM SEEMS TO BE FREQUENTLY COMPLAINED ABOUT ONLINE. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THIS IS JUST WEAR AND TEAR, WHICH I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND HOW A FRAME AND HARNESS FOR THE OCS (WHICH THEY SAY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR $1200) COULD BE A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE. I JUST WANTED TO REPORT THIS ISSUE IN CASE THERE HAVE BEEN OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, AS THERE SEEMS TO HAVE ALREADY BEEN MANY RECALLS FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IN THIS CAR.

AT LOW SPEED (15-20 MPH) THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHEN GOING UP A SMALL/SLIGHT GRADE.

IT APPEARS THE MOLDING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ROOF RACK HAS COME APART. THE SEAL AND THE ACTUAL ROOF RACK PIECE NOW FLAP IN THE WIND. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THIS AND IT SEEMS SEVERAL HUNDRED PEOPLE HAVE DEALT WITH THIS ISSUE, EVEN AFTER MONTHS OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCED THIS WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND I HEARD SOMETHING HITTING MY ROOF, I FIGURED A STICK MIGHT OF GOT CAUGHT IN THE ROOF RACK OR SOMETHING. EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT FLAPS IN THE WIND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT SMELLED A BURNING ODOR AND SMOKE APPEARED UNDER THE HOOD. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE SMOKE STOPPED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NAPA NISSAN (510 SOSCOL AVE, NAPA, CA 94559, (707) 253-1551) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE TRANSFER CASE AND METAL IN THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO BE REPAIRED BECAUSE THE FRONT AXLE WAS AIR CHISELED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 99,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

SINCE I GOT THE CAR THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON A SENSOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.. FIRST THE AIR BAG SENSOR THEN THE SEAT BELT SENSOR. NOW THE AIR BAG IS TOTALLY OFF AND WONT COME BACK ON.. THEY ARE TELLING ME THE WARRANTY IS OVER THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND I WANT NISSAN TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR.. IT IS NO LONGER SAFE TO HAVE A PASSENGER WITH ME IN THE FRONT WHAT CAN I DO?

BRAKE LAMP RELAY WENT BAD AND BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ON AFTER REMOVING FOOT FROM BRAKE PEDAL. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WHETHER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, RUNNING, DRIVING. ON OR OFF. THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME PATHFINDERS, BUT OURS IS NOT ONE. HAD TO PAY TO REPAIR MYSELF. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO ALL PATHFINDERS.

2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO BRAKE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. *AS THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING. THE CONSUMER CRASHED INTO A FENCE IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. *JS

I HAVE A 2014 PATHFINDER, IT STARTED DISCHARGING MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF WHITE SMOKE FROM THE TAILPIPE. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY SAID THAT IT NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. HE EXPLANED, THAT THE OIL RINGS ARE BAD AND OIL IS LEAKING IN THE ENGINE AND THAT THE ONLY SOLUTION WAS A NEW ENGINE ASAP. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 83,000 MILES. MY MECHANIC SAID I COULD TAKE THE ISSUE UP WITH NISSAN DIRECTLY AND MAYBE THEY WOULD HELP OUT BECAUSE THESE CARS ARE KNOWN TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I KEPT UP WITH MY MAINTENANCE. I'M ABSOLUTELY DISAPPOINTED AND UPSET WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT HAS TO BE A KNOWN MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE THAT NISSAN IS AWARE WITH AND NEEDS TO ADDRESS.

BOUGHT CAR A YEAR AGO, EVERYTHING FINE. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG STOPPED WORKING OR STOPPED DETECTING ANYONE SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT. AN APPARENT KNOWN ISSUE FOR NISSAN FROM 2013-2017. I WAS DRIVING WHILE I HAD A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT AND NOTICED THE AIRBAG WAS TURNED OFF. AND LIGHT WAS FLASHING. THE PERSON WAS OVER THE WEIGHT LIMIT THAT TURNS IT OFF. I TRIED REACHING OUT TO NISSAN AND THEY STATED IT'S ONLY VIN SPECIFIC BUT YET IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS.

WAS DRIVING ON THE EWAY WITH MY FAMILY AND HEARD A LOUD BOOM. THEN HEARD WIND AND PIECES OF GLASS ABOVE THE SUNROOF VISOR. PULLED OVER AND CONFIRMED THAT MY SUNROOF EXPLODED.

THE VISOR DOES NOT STAND FLUSH WITH THE ROOF, IT DROPS DOWN INTO THE DRIVER'S LINE OF SIGHT. THEY WILL OFTEN FALL COMPLETELY DOWN, MAKING IT A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE DRIVER.

2014 PATHFINDER STARTED EMITTING LOTS OF WHITE SMOKE FROM TAILPIPE ALMOST OUT OF NOWHERE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IT NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. ASKED FOR A BETTER EXPLANATION, AND THEY SAID THAT FLUIDS ARE GETTING INTO THE CYLINDERS AND THAT THE ONLY SOLUTION WAS A NEW ENGINE. VERY SHORT, WOULD NOT EXPLAIN ANY FURTHER. THE CAR IS ABOUT 5 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT UNDER THE WARRANTY MILEAGE. THEY SAID I COULD TAKE THE ISSUE UP WITH NISSAN DIRECTLY AND MAYBE THEY WOULD HELP OUT. I KEPT UP WITH MY OIL CHANGES, KEPT FLUIDS TOPPED OFF. I'M COMPLETELY BESIDES MYSELF WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT HAS TO BE A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. HOPING TO FIND THAT THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE THAT NISSAN IS FAMILIAR WITH AND DECIDING TO OWN UP TO.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE SINCE 2016. IN 2017 MY VEHICLE STALLED AT A BUSY EXIT RAMP AFTER SHAKING. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT SEPTEMBER 11, 2019 MY VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN ON A BUSY EXIT RAMP. THE WARNING ON THE VEHICLE STATED HYBRID SYSTEM OVERHEATING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER BECAUSE OF THE SHAKING AND STALLING AND TWO DAYS LATER I RECEIVED MY VEHICLE BACK. THE SERVICE REPORT STATES THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14TH MY VEHICLE WAS WORSE THAN BEFORE WITH TWO WARNING LIGHTS. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER ON SEPTEMBER 16TH. ON SEPTEMBER 17TH I RECEIVE A PHONE CALL FROM THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THE ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE IS THE TRANSMISSION. THE SHAKING HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE 2017 BUT ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE AGENTS THEY NEVER EXPERIENCED IT UNTIL SEPTEMBER 16TH.

THE SUNVISORS ( BOTH SIDES) MECHANISM THAT HOLDS THEM IN POSITION WILL BREAK FROM STANDARD NORMAL USE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE SUNVISORS WILL NOT STAY IN THE POSITION THAT THE OPERATOR PUTS THE SUNVISORS IN AND TEND TO BE FLOPPY. THIS MAKES A DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE THE SUNVISORS MAY FALL DOWN WHEN NOT INTENDED OR NOT STAY IN POSITION TO NEEDED TO BLOCK SUN GLARE. THE SUNVISORS MAY ALSO HANG LOWER IN THE STOWED POSITION CREATING AND EDGE A PERSON COULD HIT THEIR HEAD ON ON AND ABRUPTL STOP. THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE CAR IS STOPPED OR IN MOTION, BUT BECOMES WORSE IN ROUGH ROAD CONDITIONS. THE CAUSE IS DUE TO THE INTERNAL PLASTIC THAT HOLDS THE SPRING CLIP ON THE INSIDE ON THE VISOR. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS IN ONLINE FORUMS AND EVEN YOUTUBE VIDEOS SHOWING DIY FIXES. OEM REPLACEMENT PART IS ANOUT $150. PICTURES ATTACHED SHOW BOTH SUNVISORS. DRIVERS SIDE IS OPERATING NORMAL, AND THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR IS SHOWN IN THE POSITIONS THAT IT CAN STOP AT. NOTICE INTHE STOWED POSITION PASSENGER VISOR HANGS LOW. AND IN THE DOWN POSITION IT WILL NOT STAY ALL THE WAY OUT. THEY WILL EVENTUALLY DEGRADE UNTIL THEY JUST HANG DOWN LOOSELY AND NOT MAINTAIN ANY POSITION.

UPPER INTAKE MANIFOLD CRACKED. THIS WAS FOUND OUT BY ROUGH IDLING, SLOW ACCELERATION, INCREASED GAS USAGE, AND ENGINE LIGHT ON.

I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION AND ATTEMPTED TO OPEN MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND THE HANDLE WOULD NOT WORK. IT MADE A CRUNCH SOUND AND I COULD NO LONGER USE IT. I NOW HAVE TO LEAVE MY CAR ON, ROLL MY WINDOW DOWN, REACH TO OPEN THE CAR FROM THE OUTSIDE, ROLL THE WINDOW BACK UP, THEN TURN MY CAR OFF. I HAD PARKED MY CAR IN A PARKING LOT ON A LEVEL SURFACE WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

ON 7/19/19, MY CAR WAS SERVICED FOR BROKEN PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR DUE TO TECHNICIAN FINDING WATER BOTTLE UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. PAID $638 FOR THE REPLACEMENT. LESSON LEARNED, NO WATER BOTTLES ALLOWED IN CAR. LESS THAN 2 MONTHS LATER, ON 9/12/19, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHTS GO ON AGAIN!! BROUGHT CAR TO SERVICE ON 9/19 AND TECHNICIAN FINDS CLIP TO SENSOR SNAPPED. NO WATER BOTTLE, NO KNOWN REASON WHY THE SENSOR IS BROKEN. HAD TO PAY ANOTHER $189 TO REPLACE IT AGAIN!! I'M TIRE OF THIS PATTERN IF YOU JUST SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, OR BREATHE THERE, THE SENSOR WILL BREAK!! NISSAN HAS DONE A HORRIBLE JOB AT DESIGNING A PROTECTIVE AREA AROUND THE AIRBAG SENSOR!! I CONTACTED CONSUMER SERVICES AT NISSAN AND THEY JUST TOLD ME THEY WILL REVIEW THE CASE AND IT IS NOT THEIR FAULT AFTER MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I AM FURIOUS AND EVEN MORE CONCERNED THAT THERE WILL BE MORE SENSOR FAILURES AND AIRBAG MALFUNCTIONS IN THE NEAR FUTURE!! I FEEL NISSAN'S POOR QUALITY IS DISRUPTING MY FAMILY LIFE AND MY WORK. I CAN'T KEEP GOING BACK TO GET THIS SERVICE REPEATEDLY!! THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION & RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE ASAP!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE DRIVER SLID DOWN UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL TO ATTEMPT TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ASHEBORO NISSAN (1635 E DIXIE DR, ASHEBORO, NC 27203, (336) 625-2500) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED TO OPERATE IN THAT MANNER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

1ST IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION, WHICH WAS REBUILT DUE TO A LAWSUIT. THEN IT WAS THE ENGINE, USED ENGINE WITH 50,000 WAS PUT IN AND I ONLY HAD 76,000 ON THE ORIGINAL ONE. THEN BOTH COOLING FANS HAD TO BE REPLACE....$6000 LATER AND NOW THE [XXX] VISORS!! DRIVERS SIDE BROKEN, WON'T STAY UP UNLESS I USE A BUNGIE CORD. IT'S A HAZARD HAVING IT FLAPPING IN FRONT OF DRIVER AND MY PASSENGER SIDE IS FAILING. NISSAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!! I'VE PUT ENOUGH $$$ INTO THIS CAR, IT'S LIKE MY MONEY PIT!! NEVER EVER AGAIN WILL I BUY OR SUGGEST A NISSAN TO ANYONE. CAN'T WAIT TO GET RID OF THIS CAR!! PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER HYBRID WHICH YOU SHOULD NOTIFY OTHER CUSTOMERS OF AS WELL. THE REAR BLOWER MOTOR IS USED TO COOL THE VERY EXPENSIVE BATTERY SYSTEM AND HOLD OFF BATTERY FAILURE. THERE ARE NO SENSORS OR FEEDBACK MONITORING OF THE REAR BLOWER MOTOR TO CONFIRM IT IS OPERATIONAL. THE REAR BLOWER MOTOR OF MY PATHFINDER HAS DIED 3 TIMES WITHOUT ISSUING EITHER A SERVICE CODE OR ANY INDICATION OF A SYSTEM FAILURE. THIS HAS THEN LED TO THE DEATH OF THE VERY EXPENSIVE BATTERY PACK. THE FIRST FAILURE HAPPENED IN 2016 AT 37,000 MILES AND IT APPEARS TO HAVE A MODULUS OF ROUGHLY 35,000 BETWEEN DEATHS AND SHOULD BE PRO-ACTIVELY REPLACED BY THE OWNER TO PREVENT THE VERY EXPENSIVE BATTERY FROM HAVING TO BE REPLACED. THE ONLY INDICATION TO THE USER THAT ANYTHING IS WRONG IS THAT THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE IN MOTION. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE LANE UNTIL A POLICE VEHICLE ARRIVED. THE NEXT TIME WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHEN I WAS ON SIDE STREETS WHERE THE CAR CAME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF AN UNLIT ROAD, WITH THE BATTERY DYING COMPLETELY AFTER AN HOUR WHILE WAITING ON A TOW TRUCK. THE LAST ROUND HAPPENED 3 WEEKS AGO (ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON THANKFULLY WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT POSSIBILITY) - THE CAR WENT INTO THE SHOP AND THE VERY EXPENSIVE BATTERY WAS REPLACED BUT NOT THE REAR BLOWER (AS THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THE FAILURE). I GOT

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN MY OVERDRIVE OFF BUTTON TURNED OFF THE OVERDRIVE WITHOUT IT BEING PUSHED, MY VEHICLES RPM'S WENT UP TO BETWEEN 6000 AND 6500 WHEN I PUSHED THE BUTTON ON THE SHIFTER IT RE-ENGAGED BUT THE RPM'S WHERE AT A CONSTANT 3500-4500 AND THEN I LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR BUT THE RPM'S STAYED AT ABOUT 4000. I NEEDED TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. I WAS TOWED TO A NEARBY DEALER AND I'M WAITING FOR THEM TO INFORM ME OF WHAT THE ISSUE IS.

I HAD 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER AND MY VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AND PASSED WITH NO ISSUES IN JUNE 2019. THE DAY OF THE ACCIDENT, I DROVE ALL MORNING WITH NO TYPE OF INCIDENTS. MY NIECE, WHO LIVES ON A HILL WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME AND I PICKED HER THAT MORNING FROM HER HOUSE. SHE HAD TO RETURNED TO HER HOUSE LATER THAT MORNING FOR AN ITEM SO I DROVE BACK UP THE HILL, WAITED FOR HER IN HER DRIVEWAY, LEFT HER HOUSE AND AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HILL I REALIZED THAT MY BRAKES WAS NOT FUNCTIONING, MY EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT APPEARED AND THEN ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD TURNED ON. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WASN'T WORKING AND I COULDN'T STOP THE CAR. I KEPT PRESSING MY BRAKES AND NOTHING WAS HAPPENING. IT JUST KEPT GOING! AT THAT POINT, I LOOKED AROUND TO SEE THE BEST PLACE TO CRASH. I CAME DOWN THE HILL CROSSED OVER ONE OF THE MAIN ROADS AND STEERED MY CAR INTO A FENCE AND WE HIT A TREE. ALL OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND I WAS GRATEFUL THAT BOTH MY NIECE AND I HAD NO MAJOR INJURIES. MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. I HAD NO ISSUES WITH MY BRAKES IN THE PAST! I DID FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE SOFTWARE IN THE 2013 AND 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDERS MODEL-YEARS AND THERE WAS A RECALL. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE IN 2014 HOWEVER I NEVER GOT A RECALL NOTICE. I ALSO HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICE AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND BRAKE SOFTWARE FAILURES WAS NEVER COMMUNICATED TO ME. SOMETHING WENT TERRIBLY WRONG WITH MY BRAKES OR THE SOFTWARE THAT DAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED ROUGHLY. ALSO, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY WHILE ACCELERATING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, SHE WAS UNAWARE THAT IT WAS INCLUDED IN AN UNKNOWN RECALL. THE CONTACT CALLED TOYOTA OF FORT WORTH (9001 CAMP BOWIE W BLVD, FORT WORTH, TX 76116, 855-934-7369) REGARDING AN UNKNOWN RECALL NOTICE SHE RECEIVED FOR HER SEAT BELTS. WHILE SPEAKING WITH A REPRESENTATIVE, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF AN UNKNOWN RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BE SERVICED FOR THE RECALL; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES, BUT DID NOT ASSIST BECAUSE NO CODES APPEARED WHEN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. UPON OPENING THE LIFTGATE, THE PASSENGER SIDE STRUT ARM FRACTURED AND A POPPING NOISE WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GATE LOWERED AND STRUCK HIM ON THE HEAD. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. BOCH NISSAN (525 BOSTON PROVIDENCE HWY, NORWOOD, MA 02062) DIAGNOSED THAT THE LIFTGATE STRUT SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE CONTACT SENT PICTURES OF THE LIFTGATE CORROSION. THE MANUFACTURER OPENED A CASE AND AGREED TO COVER 70% OF THE REPAIR COST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

VEHICLE SHUDDERS / SHAKES WHEN DRIVING 30-45 MPH. FEELS LIKE NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR HAS AN INNER PLASTIC PIECE BROKEN WHICH MAKES THE SUN VISOR RANDOMLY FALL, BLOCKING MY VIEW WHEN DRIVING. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE ON MANY 2014 PATHFINDERS THAT CAN BE FIXED BY MAKING THE PARTS (VISOR) BETTER, OR BY SELLING A REPLACEMENT PART FOR THE PLASTIC PIECE THAT EASILY BREAKS. INSTEAD, THE MANUFACTURER ONLY SELLS AS A REPLACEMENT PART, THE EXACT SAME VISOR THAT IS LIKELY TO BREAK AGAIN. A SECOND ISSUE ON THIS CAR IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE DOOR. I FIND MYSELF OFTEN TRAPPED INSIDE THE CAR OR OUTSIDE THE CAR DUE TO THIS DOOR HANDLE MALFUNCTION. THIS COULD EASILY BECOME A LIFE/DEATH SAFETY ISSUE IF EVER I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND WAS TRAPPED INSIDE THE CAR. THIS IS ANOTHER COMMON DEFECT ON THIS CAR CAUSED BY A CHEAP PLASTIC PIECE BREAKING. ANOTHER PROBLEM BESIDES BEING TRAPPED IN THE CAR IS THAT SOMETIMES THE DOOR OPENS WHILE DRIVING. THESE SAFETY ISSUES COMMON IN THE 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER SHOULD BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY WITH A SAFETY RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WAITED TEN MINUTES, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS AN UNKNOWN RECALL REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DOWNEY NISSAN (7321 FIRESTONE BLVD, DOWNEY, CA 90241, (888) 483-6228). THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY COULD ONLY COULD REPROGRAM THE TRANSMISSION. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING SALVAGED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP CREATING A BLIND SPOT/VISIBILITY HAZARD. DRIVER SIDE IS BEGINNING TO STAY DOWN LOWER FROM THE ROOF OF THE CAR ALSO. PASSENGER SIDE NOW STAYS DOWN ALL THE TIME AND WHEN PUSHED UP IMMEDIATELY FALLS BACK DOWN

SECOND ROW SINGLE SEAT WOBBLES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ABRUPTLY AND THEN DECELERATED TO 10 MPH. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE AND THE SPEED WOULD NOT EXCEED 50 MPH. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO A FUEL STATION AND THEN HAD IT TOWED TO AN UNKNOWN NISSAN DEALER. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC THAT LOCATED A FAILURE CODE REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,800. *AS *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I HAD TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER. I HAD MY 2 YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND THIS COULD HAVE LED TO A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. THE CAR IS 4.5 YEARS OLD AND HAS UNDER 39,000 MILES ON IT. NISSAN HAS DETERMINED THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND IS REPLACING IT UNDER WARRANTY. THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THE 2013 AND 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDERS ARE WELL KNOWN AT THIS POINT. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. ORDER A RECALL NOW.

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS DEFECTIVE, LEADING TO IMPAIRED VISIBILITY DURING DRIVING. THE VISOR SOMETIMES FALLS TO A VERTICAL POSITION UNDER GRAVITY ONLY. THIS OBSTRUCTS FORWARD VISION AND ALSO OBSTRUCTS LINE OF SIGHT TO THE REARVIEW MIRROR. AT OTHER TIMES, THE VISOR PARTIALLY SAGS, CREATING A CONDITION WHERE THE FRONT EDGE OF THE VISOR IS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE DRIVER'S FACE. IT'S FORESEEABLE THAT A CONDITION COULD OCCUR WHERE THE VISOR COULD CAUSE INJURY BY CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER'S FACE DURING SUDDEN DECELERATION. THERE ARE NO POSITIONS THAT THE VISOR CAN BE PUT IN THAT DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE DRIVER'S VISION.

WE WERE DRIVING OUT OF TOWN ON VACATION WHEN OUR SUNROOF EXPLODED OUT OF NO WHERE. IT WAS ABOUT 9:30 IN THE MORNING ON FRIDAY JULY 19TH. WE WERE HEADING EAST BOUND ON THE 10 FREEWAY IT WAS ABOUT 90 DEGREES OUTSIDE WITH NO OTHER CARS AROUND. THE NOISE WAS SO LOUD IT SCARED EVERYONE IN THE CAR. WE HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN FOR HELP AND THEY HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY RUDE AND UNWILLING TO HELP US AT ALL. THEY BASICALLY SAID TO BAD IT'S YOUR PROBLEM NOT OURS.
